Review:
In 1988, the United States for the first time found itself with more people over the age of 40 than under the age of 30. James Rippe, a cardiologist, set out to find realistic fitness standards for that aging population, and this book offers 10 ways for older men and women to test their fitness levels against those of their peers. More importantly, it shows us where and how fitness levels can be improved and fully demonstrates the importance of doing so.
