Im 66 years old, with the stamina of someone 20 years younger, higher testosterone and remarkably in the best shape of my life!!! Thanks Funk!

In the past I power lifted, did some professional wrestling (Mr. Hollywood), and just lifted heavy. Then I discovered Over 40 Shred and I was impressed with Funk and his passion for guys over 40. The workouts are hard but fun, I havent been in this good of Cardio shape... EVER!
~ Tim Matuska, 61
I started this program with 5 months before I turned 40 (figured Id get a head start). I spent a lot of time lifting heavy weights, but my joints were in so much pain after these heavy workouts, that I just quit. I blew up to a sloppy 205 in no time and was rewarded with a dadbod. I am about 4 months in and rocking a pretty nice 4-pack with a pouch and dropped down to 188, with no joint pain and MUCH more mobility and flexibility! I am so looking forward to continuing this journey!

As a former athlete and combat vet, I had an idea of what being in shape looked like. I also knew how far off I had fallen. Funks program provides excellent and simple direction and guidance. In a little over a months time, 3 inches and a lot of bad habits were gone. Funks straightforward, no BS, researched based approach was the answer I needed- easily followed and sustained!
~ Eric Brown
In the first 2 months of the program I lost 21lbs and 7% body fat. I learned you dont need to kill yourself to lose weight! Only 30 minutes exercise 4 times a week for amazing results. I found the nutrition so simple and tasty within 1 week I had good eating habits for life.
~ Rob Powell, 42

Introduction
We are all aging and its just a fact of life!
That does NOT mean your body, mind, joints, and energy have to deteriorate , leaving you with joint and muscle aches and pains, brain fog, a slow metabolism, blood sugar problems and diabetes, zero energy, relying on a medicine cabinet full of pills just to get you moving in the morning.
You have a LOT of control over how your body feels as you get older, but the problem is youve been lied to and misled about the foods, workouts, and strategies to help you lose fat, stay young and get into shape.
In fact, its NOT your fault if youre over 40 and your mind and body feel 20 years older
