About this title

About the Author:

Laurie Rein has been a fitness and health enthusiast for most of her life. She started ballet at age eight and continued dancing through college at the University of Arizona. At the UA Laurie earned her BFA in Dance and Theater and continued her dance career in Santa Barbara, California. Laurie's dad, a physical therapist with a long history of working with polio patients and performing charity work, encouraged the family to eat healthy, exercise, and help others. He bought the family a juicer in 1973, before juicing was a fad, bought the book Aerobics by Kenneth Cooper, when aerobics was barely in our vocabulary and introduced her to the world of fitness and weight lifting at the age of fifteen. After college, Laurie taught ballet and modern dance for children and adults while performing in ballet companies. Laurie was later hired as a fitness specialist at Canyon Ranch Health and Wellness Resort in Tucson, Arizona, and taught ballet, aerobics, stretching, weight training, and pool aerobics. She was promoted to Director of The Life Enhancement Center where she designed individual fitness programs and worked with a team of physicians, psychologists, and dieticians to help guests implement lifestyle changes. Laurie has maintained a personal training/health coach business for over 30 years. Because of her dance background, Pilates was a natural fit and she became a Certified Pilates Trainer in 2007. She went on to receive her Health Coach Certification as well as being a Certified Nutrition Specialist both from ACE (American Council on Exercise). She believes wellness is a way of life, not just following popular programs. In her spare time, Laurie enjoys theater and performing, weight training, long walks in Sabino Canyon in Tucson, Arizona, and rescuing animals. She is most proud of her son Matthew and his vision to make the world a better place.

Review:

Laurie is a true visionary in the field of women's health and fitness. Her "begin where you are" philosophy makes her skills accessible to women of all ages. It's all about that first step ... and then the second ... and the third. This book is the next best thing to working with Laurie in person!

Everything a woman needs to know about enriching her life as she ages.

I have referred many female patients to Laurie over the years because she knows how to create a wellness plan they will actually follow. Her practical methods are literally life enhancing.

-- Dr. Steven Vig, Internal Medicine

I've been working with Laurie for 23 years at my home and at the gym. Even now, in my ninth decade, she has kept me on track. Laurie has extended my life and I am eternally grateful.

Laurie made it simple for me. I didn't know where to start, I had tried so many things and she just gave me what I needed to sustain a healthy lifestyle.

-- Ruth M.
