Publisher's Synopsis
This book is for men approaching 40 and older who wish to begin or continue a lifestyle that improves their health and fitness as they age. It's a compilation of current professional advice with a lifetime of acquired knowledge and experience by the author. He will walk you through each decade explaining the physiological changes, challenges, and what can be done to safely continue an exercise regimen for life. What makes this author unique is he has lived his advice to his present day advanced age. A former nationally ranked Olympic weightlifter, powerlifter, and bodybuilder, he knows what it takes to minimize injury, get stronger, fit, and healthier. He's effectively applied what he knows to his clients. Far from an exercise book, this invaluable, insightful information is an easy read filled with tips and techniques often absent from other health-fitness publications. By the time a man reaches 40, he begins to notice change in his body and features. Perhaps, he's been going to the gym since his teens to maintain a certain fitness level. He might have reached a level of fitness where he's competed in sanctioned meets. They may be in strength sports like crossfit, Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, or power lifting. Or, maybe, he's led a more sedentary life which has "slowed" him down. He might need to catch his breath while jogging with his son around the track-. Did your legs feel weak and achy after that short run? In every instance, he doesn't quite know how to manage the variances from what seemed normal throughout his earlier life vs. the way he feels today as he reaches that mystical age of 40. What's more, it's only the beginning. Each decade, thereafter, men can expect more change as they age. Their health, fitness, and longevity will depend on how well they've managed themselves to this point in life and how physical change will be handled moving forward. They need sound, reliable advice from a well-rounded source experienced as an exerciser, competitor, coach, and certified trainer. It's important to have such an astute advisor! Why? Most aging men want to live and stay healthy, longer. They need the assurance and confidence that advice given is competent, tried and true without the hype. The author is such a source; he began his journey at 15 years of age. His experience goes beyond the gym; he's was a strength sport competitor, coach, and is multi-certified as a trainer. Further, he's effectively applied what he's learned to himself, first, before this experience has been successfully shared with others.
