• It's helped me along
  My doctor told me last spring that I had to start exercising and eating a little more sensibly. I dawdled for a while, and then decided to order a couple of books to see if they would help. I got a book by Dr. Weil, and also Start Strong, Finish Strong. Both books are exceptional, and they did the trick. Im 63 and I could follow the recommendations easily.

  I first read Ken's "Aerobics" in the 60's and continue to be guided by it.
