Strong is the new beautiful : embrace your natural beauty, eat clean, and harness your power / by Vonn, Lindsey,author.(CARDINAL)500729; Toland, Sarah,author.(CARDINAL)629110;

The power of strong -- Change your mind, change your body -- How to eat to get strong -- Five steps to start eating lean -- The one-week challenge -- My favorite get-strong meals-- Finding your fitness you -- Nine ways to make exercise a happy habit -- Seven amazing reasons to start strength training -- How to warm up, stretch, and prevent injuries -- My 65 favorite get-strong exercises -- Love your body, celebrate your beauty.Lessons in strength, fitness, food, and attitude from the popular world champion skier and beauty icon--Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn. Olympic Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn wants women to stop thinking about "losing weight fast," and instead focus on loving their bodies for what they are and what they can do. Lindsey is a small-town Minnesota girl at heart turned world-champion skier, but that didn't come without hard work. In "Strong Is the New Beautiful," Lindsey lays out the never-before-seen training routines and her overall philosophy that have helped her become the best female skier in the world--tailored for women of all shapes and sizes. Lindsey backs up her fitness program with advice on what to eat and how to work out, and kicks readers into high-gear, helping bolster their self-confidence and build a better body image, with the tips and tricks she's learned as a pro. This is Lindsey's regimen, and she encourages people to take from it what will work for them. She bounced back from injury not by doing every single thing a trainer said, but instead, by thinking about the fitness plan that would work for her, and eating the right foods that would make her feel and get healthy. In "Strong Is the New Beautiful," she interweaves her training and diet regimen with compelling stories of her life growing up in the heartland, her love of skiing, the challenges she's faced--including injuries, illness, and depression--and her secrets to wellness, fitness, and recovery.

Younger next year [large print] : a guide to living like 50 until you're 80 and beyond / by Crowley, Chris,author.(CARDINAL)463855; Lodge, Henry S.,author.(CARDINAL)463856;

"Turn back your biological clock. A breakthrough book for men--as much fun to read as it is persuasive--Younger Next Year draws on the very latest science of aging to show how men 50 or older can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties. To enjoy life and be stronger, healthier, and more alert. To stave off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging (weakness, sore joints, apathy), and to eliminate over 50% of all illness and potential injuries. This is the real thing, a program that will work for anyone who decides to apply himself to "Harry's Rules." Harry is Henry S. Lodge, M.D., a specialist in internal medicine and preventive healthcare. Chris Crowley is Harry's 70-year-old patient who's stronger today (and skiing better) than when he was 40. Together, in alternating chapters that are lively, sometimes outspoken, and always utterly convincing, they spell out Harry's Rules and the science behind them. The rules are deceptively simple: Exercise Six Days a Week. Eat What You Know You Should. Connect to Other People and Commit to Feeling Passionate About Something. The science, simplified and demystified, ranges from the molecular biology of growth and decay to how our bodies and minds evolved (and why they fare so poorly in our sedentary, all-feast no-famine culture). The result is nothing less than a paradigm shift in our view of aging. Welcome to the next third of your life--train for it, and you'll have a ball." --

Though Shelly's acting career has never taken off, she has certainly perfected the crocodile tears to get what she wants -- which all too often means Hallie's boyfriends. When Hallie arrives home early from work one fateful day, she makes two startling discoveries that will turn her life upside down: Not only has a mysterious relative left Hallie a house on Nantucket, but Shelly has been trying to steal it. Desperate to put her troubles behind her, Hallie impulsively flies to Nantucket. New trouble, however, has already settled into Hallie's guest room in the form of her newest client.
