Introduction
I know firsthand that strength, muscle, and fitness can come to anyone, at any age. After all, I started gaining muscle lateI took up strength training in my 30s, and by the time Id reached my 40s, I was already enjoying the clear and profound results.
Im nobody special; Im the perfect example of how an untalented, ungifted, and relatively normal person can get into great shape. The only thing Ive ever had going for me was that I found strength training really interestingwhen I got into strength and muscle training, I seriously nerded out on every book, article, and video I could get my hands on.
The truth is a simple and beautiful one: If you do it right, theres no reason you cant get into the best shape of your life in your 40s and beyond . Especially if youre new to strength training, you can achieve fantastic results that are so often ignored when people talk about fitness over 40.
It doesnt all need to be salads, kale, quinoa, and endurance. You can do more than get in shape; you can get strong, you can build muscle, and you can look like the most athletic, outstanding, confident version of yourself. The only thing holding you back has been the expectations other people have of youperhaps the ones youve had for yourselfand lacking the information and guidance you need to put it all into action.
Ive worked with this exact kind of mindset, as a personal trainer and over-40s strength specialist, for over a decade. Its my own experiencegetting into the shape of my life and building muscle over 40and I can tell you that I have hundreds (if not thousands) of successful client stories that back up this exact same transformation process.
I often look back on the worries and expectations I used to have and feel like I could have started sooner if Id just known what I was doing, and if Id known that I could make an amazing physical change. Thats why Ive written this book: I want you to have the knowledge and experience Ive gained by doing over the past 15 years, from nutrition to training to recovery.
Instructions: How To Use This Book
Lets be real herewe already start to age from the moment we are conceived. The fact is, aging is not an evil to be overcome. Actually, it can be quite pleasant! But when it comes to physical activity, preconceptions affect our motivation to move. The processes associated with aging, such as chronic conditions, diabetes, elevated blood pressure, arthritis, and back problemsto name but a feware actually very similar to the ones induced by physical inactivity. The reality is that the symptoms of aging could actually be re-labelled as symptoms of disuse ( Bortz, Disuse and Aging, Journal of the American Medical Association ).
If this is not evidence enough, additional scientific and medical evidence should motivate you to get moving. Dr. Dorothy V. Harris and Dr. Bette L. Harris provide many more reasons to be physically active: Exercise is natures best tranquilizer ( The Athlete's Guide to Sports Psychology: Mental Skills for Physical People ) because it boosts serotonin levels in the brain. Researchers have found that individuals suffering from moderate to light depression who regularly engage in at least 15 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise typically experience an improvement in their condition.
This book will give you the tools to understand how you should be moving, either at home or in an equipped gym. All you should know about the physiology happening when you use your muscles, as well as how to treat them well and help them heal, will be explained in this book. Your posture is something that needs to be addressed, too: this is the foundation of all workouts! Identifying which body type you are will also provide you with customized tips on how to become fit accordingly.
Different workouts are explainedstrength training and cardio training, and their variations, from HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) to weightlifting. These are all good, but they require to be set up, following a pattern and a schedule according to specific factors. Do not fret. This book suggests a training plan that you can tailor to yourself, modifying the weight you can work out with (either body weight or added resistance of dumbbells). The different positions and exercises are all explained using visual aids. The muscles these exercises target are detailed in illustrations that I call , as well as the reasons to avoid specific positions. I will give you the keys in this book to adapt these workouts for you and your body. Following the visuals and the explanations will help you avoid injury.
