Fitness Over 50: Weekly Workout Plan! (Success Over 50 Book 2)

No nonsense approach that flies in the face of all of the other complicated approaches to fitness out there. I have been a P90X user off and on for almost 9 years now and have fallen into the trap of thinking this was the only way to go. I have followed his eating plan and I ca tell you it works. High protein and low carb. Fat is not the enemy. Just joined Planet Fitness a few days ago because at 48 years old I need to move away from heavier weights and incorporate more machines to minimize injury. This seems to be the approach he takes. Can't wait to try the workout plan.

I never rate books, but I have bought a lot of books from Amazon; fitness books especially, but I like this one the most and find it the most relevant to me. I am over 50 so that is why I picked the book in the first place; and I'm glad that I did. Some reviews were critical, saying that the workout in the book is too routine and simplistic. Well, I like it VERY much for that exact reason! Not a bunch of stupid complex exercises or confusing routines that are hard to follow and/ or would hurt me. I have been told by EVERY stupid trainer (one injured me bad!!) or physical therapist to use free weights. I am so glad that I followed the advice of this book and not them! I tried to follow my own heart and instinct before by only using machines, only to be contradicted by those people. They said that if I didn't use free weights, I wouldn't make any gains. THEY ARE LIARS. I have made more gains, and safely, using his strategies than anyone else. Combine his workout with Time Under Tension strategies and a good healthy clean diet, and I have made more gains than with any of those people. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I don't use all the strategies. But, that's okay, because what I do use, I use all the time, follow it religiously, and I have made more gains safely and injury free than I ever did before. Thanks so much!

After starting Strength at 50!: Get Strong and Fit Today! (I highly recommend), this book gives similar very good information. Even though I'm a 47 year old woman, and mother of 2 teenagers, I have felt a need to get back in shape again (don't we all!). I've been reading about how strength training is a very good thing for you whole body whether you're a man or a woman. I've started using the information in both these books when I'm lifting weights in the gym, and I'm starting to see alot more toned muscle in every part of my body. I like how this author also gives details about what he eats and when. Although I may take in less calories, it's a good framework. Worth buying!

A very simple and direct approach that makes sense of the chaotic and head-spinning information and “ flash” you find in this market. If you’re trying to salvage the remaining time you have on this planet, in the best shape you can be, read this! It might not be the full solution for you, but it it sure as hell gives you a solid, simple, and easy framework as a foundation to build upon - READ THIS!

I am a 52 years old person who do some weight lifting and practice some exercise.. Good tips for eating and have a very good life after 50

Good information, but could have used more detailed workouts. A pretty good starting point for someone just getting started. Helpful

A nice short fitness log that provides easy to follow and flexible guidelines. Specifically for us fifty plus guys. Strongest points... Concise and easily feasible.

Very short with little direction on how to get in shape or how to improve other than very briefly mentioning supplements and a couple of foods. Then he says he walks, that's it??

Really good reading, short and to the point. I wish I knew before. I was not used to fasting but it works. Recommended

Five stars simple concise and informative well worth the read a good foundation to improve quality of life and general wellbeing

A good little book with a good workout routine and other little tidbits.

great buy
