This past Monday I was given an invite to attend the launch party for JB Bearns’ new book entitled Do It or Age Quickly: 60 Second Practices to Live Better, Stronger and Longer at the fabulous rooftop of the Empire Hotel in Manhattan. You might know JB Bearns from his popular at-home exercise Urban Rebounder fame, but he’s also a celebrity personal trainer and twenty year master of the arts of yoga as well as martial arts. Basically, the man knows what he’s talking about!

I’ve actually used his Urban Rebounder for quite some time. My mom got it for me as a gift (gee, thanks mom–what are you trying to say? *stares at twinkie*) and I was surprised at how much those DVDs and that little trampoline got my heart rate up. I had to retire my rebounder since I had to do some downgrading and it no longer fit in my living room, but boy is it a workout and a half.

To truly live the healthy lifestyle, one must do more than just simply workout. From his years of studying martial arts, Bearns learned about many practices and products from his instructors (who are now in their 70s 80s and 90s yet look half their ages). They were all quick and simple techniques to follow that are all described in Do It or Age Quickly.

Of the book, Bearns says,

It [Do It or Age Quickly: 60 Second Practices to Live Better, Stronger and Longer] is a system of 21 simple techniques to care for your mind and body that most people have not heard of before. I will tell you about a hair preservation routine for men, natural toothpaste that whitens teeth and doesn’t strip away your enamel, herbal tea that energizes and bolsters your immune system, facial creams that are better than anything on the market that heal and preserve your skin, stress and fear-reducing methods, a consumption routine that streamlines digestion and brings about effortless weight-loss, and stretches and exercises that take only 60 seconds each. In fact, the beauty of this book, as you can probably tell from the title, is that each of my 21 recommendations takes only 60 seconds each!
