Introduction
Help! Get me out of this body!
Whats happening to me?
This is not what I signed up for.
If youve ever had those thoughts while standing naked in front of a mirror, youre hardly alone. The sad reality is that most people who are in their 40s, 50s and beyond are dissatisfied with their physical condition. Many of them are overweight, understrength and overwhelmed by aches and pains, chronic illness and plummeting energy levels.
In short, they are pretty pathetic imitations of what they used to be - and of what they should be.
If thats you, you need to know that growing weaker and less fit does not have to be your destiny as you age. You have it within your capacity to wake up every morning better, healthier and stronger than when you went to bed the night before. And that is true whether youre 27, 47, or 67.
Chronologically, age means nothing. In order to preserve your age, you need to preserve your physicality. And the time to start preserving it is now.
Thats because, by the time you enter into your fourth decade, your body is beginning to show signs of wear and tear
Blood vessels lose their elasticity, making the heart work harder to pump blood around the body
Muscles, joints and tendons lose strength and flexibility
Testosterone production plummets
The metabolism slows down
Society expects you to start going downhill as a result of these natural consequences of aging. After all, its what everyone else does, right?
Once they hit 40, they get fat, lethargic, sick and decrepit. Every decade the downward spiral continues - then they die.
Is that the sort of future you want?
It doesnt have to be.
You see, there are a whole lot of people who have totally flipped that script. At 40, 50 and even 60 something they are genuinely in the best shape of their entire lives!
How have they done it?
By rejecting the ridiculously low bar that society has set for them and by learning the truth about fitness, health and well-being over 40.
That truth is what you will learn in this book.
It is encompassed within the 7 foundations that you must incorporate into your life in order to stay strong, lean and healthy at any age.
When you know, understand and apply the 7 foundations you will have the solution to the problems that plague many people in their 40s and beyond
Your body does change when you age, and in this book, you will discover exactly how it does so. More importantly, though, you will find out precisely how you need to adjust your training to compensate for those changes.
This book will also show you how to infuse your mind with the mental strength to power you through the physical changes that will make you more powerful. By applying the strategies Im about to share with you, youll become laser-like in your ability to set, hone in on and systematically work toward the accomplishment of your goals.
Critically, we also demystify the whole subject of fitness nutrition. No other subject has led to such confusion, frustration and disappointment. Yet, what you eat is more important than anything else that you do. In Chapter Nine, you will finally learn how to eat the right way for your body.
Of course, there are literally thousands of books on getting in shape. So, why should you listen to what Ive got to say?
Well, the honest answer is that you shouldnt. You should listen to the science of fitness, anatomy, biomechanics, kinesiology and nutrition. The great thing about science is that it is objective - it is not swayed by emotion, popularity, gimmicks or money making trends. All of that science is presented, disseminated and distilled in the chapters that follow. In fact, they form the basis of the 7 foundations that will underpin your future fitness program.
The problem with science, however, is that it is often presented by people who have no practical, on the ground experience in the discipline that it is applied to. And thats where I come in. You see, I am a personal fitness trainer who has used these 7 foundations to help hundreds of men and women over the age of 40 to regain their youthful vigor, transform their bodies and become stronger, more agile and healthier than when they were in their 20s and 30s.
Ive written this book because I train people every day who, even before theyre 40, are struggling with all 7 of these foundations. In the over 40 age-group, though, it is particularly challenging due to changes occurring in their bodies. I find that my clients have little to no knowledge of what is happening, and have either lost their confidence or have never gained it in the first place. I want this book to inspire people to take charge and start implementing these foundations into their workout routines.
