      January 5, 2009
      Wright, Vonda, M.D., with Ruth Winter. Fitness After 40: How To Stay Strong at Any Age. AMACOM: American Management Assn. Jan. 2009. c.304p. photogs. index. ISBN 978-0-8144-0994-7. pap. $17.95. HEALTH~Physical fitness can slow the deterioration of both mind and body, but most fitness titles are aimed at the young. Here, orthopedic surgeon Wright outlines a plan for maintaining flexibility, balance, strength, and cardiovascular health in a clear, nonpatronizing style that will appeal to readers of all ages. There are good sections on avoiding and dealing with injury, as well as exercise routines and a generalized eating plan. Very well done, especially for the 40-plus set..
