PBS fitness personality on Classical Stretch and creator of the fitness phenomenon Essentrics, Miranda Esmonde-White offers an eye-opening guide to anti-aging that provides essential tools to help anyone turn back the clock and look and feel younger no matter what age.

Miranda Esmonde-White trains everyone from prima ballerinas to professional hockey players to Cerebral palsy patients: what do they all have in common? All of these people are hoping to heal their bodies, prevent further injury, and move optimally and without pain. In fact, they have the same goals as any of us who are trying to stay young, fit, and reverse the hands of time.

Because the aging of our bodies occurs in our cells, it must be repaired there too—that’s where Miranda’s highly effective and sought-after techniques come in. The body is programmed to self-destruct as we age, but the speed at which it self-destructs is up to us. Recent scientific studies have proven this fact! In Aging Backwards, Miranda offers a groundbreaking guide on how to maintain and repair our cells, through scientifically designed workouts.

Healthy cells prevent joint pain, muscle loss and weak bones—helping to control weight, increase energy, and improve strength and mobility. Miranda offers readers of all ages the tools they need to look and feel young. Complete with tips, tools, and her Eight Basic Age-Reversing Workouts accompanied by instructional photos and web clips, Aging Backwards will help you grow younger, not older!

This book holds much promise that I have yet to test.
I still haven't completed the book but it has met all of my own expectations - so far. I'm an age 76 male with lots of aging problems and I'm looking to establish an exercise routine that (1) I can keep up with and (2) that works!

I first found the author early one morning on PBS. I am 66 years old and was delighted that here were exercises that I could perform without hating every minute. ( I am now not ashamed to say, "I hate yoga".) I am also, like her though not as accomplished, a former dancer but have let myself get out of shape. I have been really impressed with Miranda's program and bought several DVDs which I really like but out of laziness stopped doing. When I heard about her book I felt that it would re-motivate me. How true that is! The book really explains how important - and why - it is to work the muscles. Her program is the best at keeping a person from getting stoop-shouldered and slow and unsteady-gaited, typical of the elderly and the aging. She focuses on range of motion and strength which has the added benefit of developing balance which is completely important in and of itself. This is a really sound program and I think it should be taught and done by everyone, not just those of us who are up in years although for someone of my age who has been starting to see the effects of aging (a little hard to get out of the chair, sometimes hard to straighten up upon standing, etc.) it is absolutely ideal. I don't have a lot of aches and pains but her program is supposed to really help with that, as well.

Me and 3 friends in our 60's say "Yes" to the wisdom and guidance in this book. Think of it as retraining your mind first - most of what we know about exercise is not helping us stay mobile and flexible. MEH's information and methods are gentle, effective, doable for any age. You will actually witness your posture improving first. It's amazing. Next your legs feel stronger. Next your backaches are less and less often. Stiffness starts to say goodbye. And personally I can tell you I smile more. I have bone fusions, slipped discs, degenerative disc disease, osteo loss - you name it. And I feel great if I move everyday the MEH way. And I plan on moving painlessly the MEH way everyday for the rest of my life to overcome what nature and life handed me. Yoga did not give me this fluidity although I think it is powerful too. Qui Gong did not give me this fluidity and strength although I think it too is powerful. Tai Chi did not give me this fluidity and strength although I completely think it beautiful and powerful. Somehow, someway, the MEH workouts blend and move one through all these modalities and add a little something else besides.

Enjoyed reading this book, packed with so much useful information regarding the effect of Miranda's exercise technique on keeping fit whilst ageing.
I bought the book mainly for the exercises to help people manage Osteoporosis. I found the exercise instructions a little lacking and had to buy the DVD's in the end to get the right idea.
That being said, it seems Miranda has put lots of research into her exercise techniques which convinces the reader to give it a go.
I guess the proof is in doing what she recommends and seeing if it works for you.
Definately worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHLY recommend reading before you do the exercise routines. Outstanding info even for 2017

WOW! I learned so much from this! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! A friend recommended this to me. She insisted I don't just watch the YouTube videos or go on the site. She said the science and tech were very important to know so I would stick with the program and make the most use out of it. VERY good advice. So I pass that on to you!

Personally I was looking for something that didn't over-do it for me. I'm out of shape and the idea of HIIT to get back into shape just makes me cringe. I want to do weights, but I just can't seem to get to the gym. This seemed like the perfect gradient to starting. Now I realize this is the perfect exercise forever. But I wouldn't have known this had I not read the book. Well, listened to it anyway because I did audible.

I sit a lot at work. And as I get older, I am not moving as much. I used to be so flexible too! There is so much information on why we slow down and how this simple, fluid exercise energizes and tones you. I like to think of it as modern-day tai-chi sort of, when I explain it to others.

This is a MUST read! Even if you do this workout in addition to other forms of exercise.

The exercises were very much the same on all the DVDs. Very good, my only complaint would be that she does the exercises much too fast. It is hard to keep up with her, so I just do it at my own speed. Also, it is very much like the old Jane Fonda exercises of 20 years ago, and also Yoga poses. That said, it is good to have the lovely background of Montego Bay as you watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to become "Functionally Fit"?
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2015
Verified Purchase
I'm enchanted with these videos. I run two/day: the first being a repeat of the one I did in second place on the previous day, the second being the next new one on the list. (About 45 minutes total) This works very well for me. (I'm much better on the new one when I repeat it on the next day!) Miranda keeps up a helpful patter of encouragement and informational material. I'm learning the names of the individual muscles, what they do for us, and why it's important to keep them toned, strengthened, and flexible - all while I'm doing the movements! She is an obviously accomplished ballerina and fitness instructor who is able to move to the highest levels of performance (Delightful to watch!) while continually prodding us to go "a little farther each time" in a comfortable supportive manner. Working in front of a mirror (her suggestion) does help in following the video. I bought a portable DVD player and play it on my dresser where I can see myself progressing. I'm hoping to become very functionally fit. This will do the job!

Being nearly 70 years of age, I'm very interested in this subject. Although I have my own fitness regime, I found some of the exercises in this book to be very useful and totally different from what I typically see in a fitness program. I was also impressed with the information on how exercise affects the rate at which we age. I was already aware of this, but her explanation goes deep into the reasons for this.
I can highly recommend this book for anyone who is concerned about any aspect of the aging process.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2015

This is an excellent book and introduces a way of exercising which does not need any special equipment. The specific exercises are at the end of the book which is possibly why a previous reveiwer did not notice, the 'how to' comes here and there are some good samples on 'YouTube' It points out how the muscles can be renewed at any age and is a very challenging book.
