msn health and fitness - This is a really powerful general health and fitness site but with some specific information for the BB Generation also included. Check out the Special Report “Fight Age with Muscle” (see the post) by reading the full report via the msn link. The Special Guides section on msn’s site has some really interesting stuff – I particularly liked the discussion on the pros and cons of pole dancing as the coming fitness trend! Some things the BB Generation probably has to avoid, but who knows!

You Look Great! What Happened?: The over-50 Guide to Health and Fitness
By R.D. Cain
Amazon $22.79 (October 2007 price)
Here’s the Amazon Editorial Review: “While living in Europe, I was amazed by the many seniors I saw skiing, climbing mountains, hiking and strenuous farming well into the autumn of their years. Compared to our European counterparts, Americans let age define who we are, how we should act and even whom we should love. Europeans have shown us that we can be as vibrant at 70 as we were at 40! The secret? Keep moving! Go to a gym, meet people and take up a sport that’s going to make you enjoy the things you can do with your body!”
