If you have just 15 minutes to spare, you can help build a healthier, younger body!

For centuries, body-weight exercise — actions that move your body against the resistance of gravity — has been a mainstay exercise for athletes and soldiers helping build strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility.

It happens to all of us, Reader,

As we get older, we start to realize we’re not a strong as we used to be ... or as flexible. And we admit that we don’t have as much pep as we used to have, either.

And we wonder: What’s the best yet safest way I can get back in shape — and improve my overall health?

Good news: The health and fitness experts at Harvard Medical School have the answer you’re looking for: The start-slow-and-easy workout routines that use your own body weight to strengthen your whole body — routines that offer a wealth of better health and more pep in your step.

They’re all in Harvard’s Special Health Report Body-Weight Exercise, along with easy-to-follow directions and how-to photos. And more good news: you can easily do these feel-younger exercises at home and adjust them to your fitness level. And there’s positively no equipment necessary to get great results.

Today, because they can be easily adapted to fit a wide range of needs and fitness levels, they’re the perfect form of exercise to help you look and feel younger ... prevent falls ... strengthen and protect your back, knees, hips ... fortify your stabilizing core muscles for better posture ... and more.

That’s what makes Harvard’s Body-Weight Exercise Special Report so helpful to you right now. Step-by-step, our health and fitness experts guide you to a healthier, younger body — even if you only have 15 minutes to spare. For example, you’ll discover:

•

The single tried-and-true exercise that is practically a total body strengthener.

•

How to build well-defined calves — the key anti-gravity muscles that keep you standing tall.

•

The small ab-engaging movement that helps support your lower back.

•

How to strengthen your hip muscles to help prevent knee pain and make walking easier.

•

The easy-on-the-joints cardio interval workout builds endurance as it strengthens your core.

•

The classic exercise that tones and strengthens the back of your upper arms — making it easier to open a stuck window, for example.

•

A lunge exercise that will help keep you strong and agile, making it easier to pick things up from the floor.

•

The squat exercise that helps improve your balance, stability, posture, and power.

The “super” exercise that strengthens your back muscles and helps you stand tall.

•

The simple rehab exercise helps stabilize your pelvis and prevent injuries.

And the beauty of body-weight exercise is that even short workouts can deliver noticeable results.

When you start one of these body-weight routines, there are certain changes you will notice — like having more energy, being able to lift things more easily, seeing some definition in your muscles, and maybe even losing some pounds or inches.

And then there are the changes that you can’t see — like stronger bones, lower blood pressure, and your body’s improved ability to manage blood sugar.
