Product Description
Product Description
Most of the effects of aging are reversible. Men don't have to get fat when they turn 40; they don't have to lose their muscle, energy, sexual drive, mind power, competitive edge, or anything else that American culture associates with aging. The decade of his 40s is the most crucial time in a man's life to get back in shape and set himself on the road to healthy, active, exciting living for decades to come. On this program of flexibility and strength-building exercises, nutritional advice, and tasty recipes, men will: build muscle and lose weight; have more energy and feel happier; strengthen bones; enjoy better sex; keep their brains sharp; manage stress more effectively; and, look and feel years younger.

Now in my early forties, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. It clearly explains what you (as a middle aged man) need to do to stay fit and healthy. The cover gives the impression of a man on steroids, protein drinks and the rest, but this couldn't be further from the truth concerning the content of the book. It's definitely helping to make me into a healthier person, so yeah I would definitely recommend it.

Oh look another book with a steroid fuelled model body image on the front cover! Wow I could buy this book and look like that in 4 weeks!

Good advice with explanations
29 Jun 2010
Format:Hardcover
I am really enjoying this book; it has lots of good common sense advice in an accessible format.
This book is more than a bunch of exercises. In fact, if that is what you want, you can find better books out there. For me, this book supplements exercise books I already have (not to mention tons of exercise information available to anyone online).
It covers a lot of general health related topics for men over 40 including diet, nutrition, stress, health checks, etc. It is well-written, concise, and easy to read. I like how the author provides information from studies to support many of the suggestions (granted, this is not a textbook nor a peer-reviewed scientific publication, so don't expect anything real well-documented. It would be easy enough to follow up on anything that didn't seem right).
I was skeptical and picked up my copy at the library, but I think I will purchase a copy to keep.
Bottom line: working out and eating the same way I did in my 20s no longer works for me. I am tired of trying to do my old freeweight workouts only to get injuries and still have a gut. Things change as you get older, and the sooner you realize what those changes are, the sooner you can move forward.

All the angles covered, and easier to do than I thought

Very detailed coverage of all aspects of men's health, and exercises that the over 40 man can do without too much pain!! Who would of thought of adding recipes, but it helps tremendously. Plus the helpful facts on food, portion sizes, etc. really makes following this plan very do-able, and fun!

It works for 60+ too!

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had the chance to read this book while on vacation. It reinforces everything my doctor, trainer, and nutritionist have told me over the years, and made me more keenly aware of the need to maintain your body as we age. Very well laid out, not too technical so even novices can understand. Enjoyed and am already using.
