Most of the developed world is experiencing an aging population. In America alone, an estimated 45% of the total population is over the age of 40. When this aging demographic is combined with the current concerns over healthcare cost and availability, it is easy to see why more individuals are expressing an interest in staying fit as they grow older. In Fitness at 40, 50, 60 and Beyond, author Michael Spitzer has distilled decades of medical research, diet guidelines, and exercise routines into a complete program that offers an effective and time efficient way for readers to get in far better shape than they thought possible. The book begins with a detailed look at what happens inside the body with the passage of time. Topics covered include the age related aspects of muscle tissue atrophy, slowed metabolism, weight gain, bone loss, heart and lung function capacity, sexual changes, hormone decline, anxiety, depression and more. After examining these effects of aging on the body, the book then details a program of dietary planning and 3-day-per-week exercise regimens that can produce amazing fitness results in as little as 16 weeks. This 432 page book is illustrated with 260 photographs. Every exercise is clearly described with accompanying photos that demonstrate both proper and improper technique. Diagrams, tables, and charts are also used to explain meal plans, recipes. and other principles. At the end of each chapter, summaries are provided that can be copied and carried for quick, easy reference.

Now in paperback. The bestselling author of The Willpower Instinct introduces a surprising science-based book that doesn't tell us why we should exercise but instead shows us how to fall in love with movement. Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But, as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy. Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and mastery--and why it is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. McGonigal tells the stories of people who have found fulfillment and belonging through running, walking, dancing, swimming, weightlifting, and more, with examples that span the globe, from Tanzania, where one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on the planet live, to a dance class at Juilliard for people with Parkinson's disease, to the streets of London, where volunteers combine fitness and community service, to races in the remote wilderness, where athletes push the limits of what a human can endure. Along the way, McGonigal paints a portrait of human nature that highlights our capacity for hope, cooperation, and self-transcendence. The result is a revolutionary narrative that goes beyond familiar arguments in favor of exercise, to illustrate why movement is integral to both our happiness and our humanity. Readers will learn what they can do in their own lives and communities to harness the power of movement to create happiness, meaning, and connection.
