Resumen del Editor

A 30-day anti-aging program for rapid results using the fundamental movements and principles of the best-selling Aging Backwards, featuring an accelerated program for turning back the clock. The field of aging research has exploded with new clinical findings. Many misconceptions about aging - including the beliefs that disease, immobility, and pain are inevitable - have been debunked. Today, we know that the choices we make, from what we eat to how much and how we move, play a critical role in healthy aging.

PBS fitness personality and best-selling author Miranda Esmonde-White created her breakthrough exercise program, Essentrics, more than 20 years ago. In that time, she has helped everyone from professional athletes to breast cancer survivors to weekend warriors heal and recover from injuries using her gentle Essentric stretching and exercise method that consists of movements that engage all of the body’s muscles and connective tissues.

In Aging Backwards: The Fast Track, Miranda offers listeners systematic workouts to supplement and accelerate the original program, along with new information on the latest anti-aging science to help keep us strong, fully mobile, and looking and feeling young. Using her 30-day fast-track program, you’ll see rapid results in increased mobility, strength, flexibility, body shape, pain relief, and overall health. Aging Backwards: The Fast Track empowers everyone - young and old, athletic or sedentary - with the information and tools to slow down the clock and keep it there. 

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Works great for pain relief on aging body

The first half of this audiobook explains the science behind how & why essentrics works and it's history. I found that portion very useful and motivating. For the exercises themselves, I went to the authors website and got some videos. Much easier to follow the actual program while watching an instructor. As an avid fitness buff who is now aging, I've been experiencing issues with chronic pain. Adding these workouts daily have greatly decreased that pain. I highly recommend this program and this audiobook.

Would not recommend this audiobook.

I was excited about this kind of program after watching the PBS show. But once I started listening to the fast track chapter and beyond I found it Hard to follow without seeing a demonstration. The moves are complicated and It left me feeling defeated before I even started.

Useless

To learn how to do specific exercises you have to see them. Listening to someone describe a very precise, detailed way to move without any visual representation is nothing but confusing and frustrating. The author touts the "starter workout" for beginners or persons with injuries, but nowhere online or in the accompanying pdf are there any diagrams/images/videos of the starter workout. Audio is really not the appropriate medium for this type of material, and it is also frustrating that it appears the book is mainly a tool to compel readers to purchase the authors numerous DVDs, which are obscenely overpriced.

Exercise Diagrams Desperately Needed

Book wording is useful as heard audibly, but exercise positioning sketches should be provided in pdf, unless I’m missing it. Program would be much more useful with these sketches.
