Fit at 50 and Beyond

Achieving Optimum Health at 50 and Beyond

About the book:

Many of us prepare for the financial aspects of our future retirement, but fail to prepare for lifestyle changes we need to make in order to remain healthy and fit. As active teens and young adults, many of us ate whatever we desire without too much concern about weight gain, and participated in sports or kept fit at a gym without focusing on our physical stamina. However, as we move from young adulthood into our fifties and beyond, we often find ourselves overweight and out of condition. Unsure of how we got there, and not understanding the changes that our bodies are undergoing, many people feel confused and frustrated as they unsuccessfully try to improve their health and overall appearance.

Written by Dr. Michael Gloth, a leading expert on aging and nutrition, Fit At Fifty and Beyond: A Balanced Exercise and Nutrition Program provides intelligent and sensible advice for mature adults to improve their health, well-being, and overall fitness and appearance. Dr. Gloth includes an overview of the natural aging process, delectable sample recipes developed by leading chef Rudy Speckamp that are designed to work with the nutritional principles outlined in the book, practical tips on choosing the right exercise and nutrition program - a basic "game plan" for getting into shape and staying that way, a detailed home exercise program, and advice on handling lapses in nutrition and exercise as readers strive to reach their ideal body weight.

Fitness is not only for the young; it can be achieved at any age. Fit At Fifty and Beyond teaches boomers and seniors how to modify their lifestyles in a straightforward way that will help them achieve optimum health and fitness.

What other people said about "Fit at 50 and Beyond":

"Reading your book as been an inspiration to me. I have just been awarded the most awesome responsibility of spreading the work to all Senior Americans that we can be fit and healthy by taking care of our bodies. As Ms. Senior America I am honored to be a spokesperson for all seniors across the U.S. I have always been active and, after having grandchildren, just wanted to take it to another level so that I could be able to run and play with them and enjoy every precious moment.

Your book speaks to all of us, young and old, as we age to take charge of our lives and keep on keeping on eating right (making healthy choices, as stated in your book) and exercising to keep our bodies in good working order.... Having a good attitude goes a long way and eating healthy. If we will just exercise by walking, stretching, lifting weights, and a few floor exercises it will keep us fit and then enjoy the recipes in your book, we will live well..." Olivia Haley, Ms Senior America

"A gem of a book - inspiring, motivating, sensible, and filled with explanations about exercise, weight loss, and nutrition. Alternatives are offered to suite the individual as well as suggestions for getting back on track after detouring from the goal. The book reads easily, offers recipes, and has the feel of a good friend giving supportive advice" - Brenda Kurz, Fitness Instructor
