Your Over 50 Fitness Savior
By Fred W. Schafer, MS, CFT
October 28th, 2014
This article is for men and women over 50 who are hungry or maybe even desperate to get more fit and to turn their body clock back 10, 15, or even 20 years or more.
And while that may sound good enough already, what I propose in this article also allows you to be able to do your favorite physical activities without “just getting older” limits and for you to enjoy great health while looking and feeling like a million bucks.
Chances are though that you may be skeptical about such promises as you may have tried other solutions before with similar claims and hype filled infomercial guarantees that “others swear by” that ended up leaving you feeling disappointed from your lack of results.
Maybe you have already pledged to yourself that you won’t fall for any more “too good to be true” programs filled with fountain of youth and “new body” promises that you suspect are all smoke and mirrors.
You may have vowed not to be fooled again and instead just accept the theory of average minded victims that “getting old sucks” and that it “is what it is”.
But You Still Have Dreams
On the other hand however, you still have strong dreams for your life. So you really don’t want to believe that there is no hope for you ever enjoying rock star shape just because you’re over 50 or older.
Because if that were true then that means it’s all downhill for you from now to the end.
And that would indeed be a serious bummer…
But I hope that by the time you finish reading what I propose for you in this article you will be inspired and convinced that your best days have not been lived yet.
And ready to take action
Because deep down inside your soul, you still have that ember burning. That passionate desire to set your life on fire and live your “hero’s journey” adventure before it’s all through.
But to do so hopefully you’d agree it might be helpful to get and stay in over 50 great shape for decade after decade until you fulfill your destiny.
Like countless millions though, you may always end up giving up on yourself and quitting your fitness and health programs. Chances are they didn’t change much for you before and you didn’t feel like it was worth all the effort.
Or it could be you just aren’t sure what to do now to get your body and life back on track because you’ve neglected your health and “let yourself go” due to all of the stress in your life.
Possibly you don’t know where you should turn to find someone you can trust to help guide you through the mass of over 50 fitness, health and wellness confusion.
That is understandable because it really is tough to find someone trustworthy who also can relate to and understand you and the challenging demands those of us entering the second half century of our lives face.
Tired of having hard body personal trainer “kids” telling you what to do when they can stay fit drinking in the bar?
Someone who can not only relate to you but can also provide you with an easy to use and proven prescription for you to become a lean, fat-incinerating, anti-aging over 50 and beyond wellness machine!
Most personal trainers are in their 20’s, 30’s and early 40’s. The fact is that there are an extremely rare number of fitness trainers who are themselves over 50. And even fewer over 50 who can truly equip, inspire and guide you in how you too can balance jobs, families, aging parents, financial issues and aging changes taking place in your body while also maintaining a great body, quality of life and health.
Even rarer is that individual or source who can take you’re over 50 fitness, health and wellness soaring to incredible heights you may have never experienced before.
You may be convinced at this point it is no longer possible for you to build a nearly unbreakable high performance lean and vibrant body and spirit and rejuvenate your outlook on your over 50 future while looking and feeling better than you have in decades.
Suffering From “Gym Dread”?
Or, like thousands of other people it has been years since you have done any physical conditioning or stepped foot in a gym. Like many, you too could suffer from “gym dread” and don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of really fit people adding to your unfit insecurity.
Or you don’t want the hassles of dragging yourself to the gym a few days a week with your already overloaded schedule.
You’re probably worried about seriously hurting yourself and having to endure another nagging painful injury in addition to the increasing aches and pains you already have?
BUT YOU LIKE TO EAT REAL FOOD AND DON’T WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ON A BUNNY FOOD DIET
Maybe you just can’t seem to stick to a “diet” and want to be able enjoy your favorite comfort foods occasionally and not have to feel like you’re starving all the time?
Or you tell yourself that you haven’t been able to get your over 50 fitness act together yet because you just don’t have time to work out, can’t afford an expensive gym membership or don’t want to waste you’re hard earned money on fancy equipment that ends up collecting dust in your garage.
If you are a man over 50 you could be facing dropping testosterone levels that seem to be plummeting faster than the hopes of mid east peace talks and draining your confidence and virility.
Meanwhile, women over 50 are fighting back against the mighty tide of menopause that is giving them mood swings and declining and unstable energy.
Perhaps you too are suffering with type II diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or low back or knee pain that is slowly draining away your courage. With the combination of advancing age, obesity, chronic disease or a bad back or weak knees it is easy to see why you might feel like the odds are stacking up against you and like your “glory days” could be gone forever.
For some of you the truth may be that you just can’t seem to get or stay motivated for more than a week or two?
Here is another truth that you can trust and count on
There is a way that the second half century of your life can become the most thrilling, fit, healthy and well years you could have ever imagined.
Just because you are over 50 and/or have failed at your fitness and health improvement efforts before does not mean you must suffer and endure a poor quality of life. You can be different than those who spend their time dwelling on the “good old days” when they used to be able to “seize their day”.
How to Seize Your Days for the Rest of Your Over 50 Life!
The truth is that it is possible for you to become fitter, healthier, energetic, trimmer, stronger, powerful and “fully alive” in your body, mind and spirit as you age. Despite all of the difficulties and demands which were outlined above and that you may face.
With that in mind it would be awesome to find and apply a trusted, sensible, simple, doable, safe, healthy, proven, scientific, fun, affordable, time friendly solution that really works and can actually transform your body, brain and perhaps even part of your soul.
So now for the good news! My friend (if you have read this far, yes, you are now my friend), my belief is that this may be you’re lucky day. Yes, I know that sounds dramatic and like hype, but I believe that this is about to become one of the most exciting days of your adult life!
In fact, if you saw yourself described at all above, you are going to fall in love with 50FIT!
Introducing 50FIT…BRING ON THE FUTURE!
By Fred “The Fit Food Dude” Schafer,
MS Wellness, Certified Functional Aging Trainer,
Professional Speaker
Who am I and Why Might You Consider Listening to Me?
My name is Fred “The Fit Food Dude” Schafer and I have just written 50FIT.
Some of you may recognize me as the guy who spoke at your conference as I spend a good portion of my time keynote speaking at health, wellness and fitness conferences across America ([www.fredstrikes.com]).
Here is a picture (sorry for the fuzziness!) of me speaking to nearly 2,000 medical professionals in Long Beach California.
While I love speaking, what I love most is teaching others the truth about over 50 physical transformation
My story and what it means for the rest of your story
I am 56 years old and have been both studying and training to achieve high performance health and fitness for the past 41 years. It all began back in 1974 in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA when I was a 14 year old kid.
The reason I was so motivated back in 1974 to become fit, more athletic and healthy is that I was exactly the opposite! I was an unhealthy, pathetically weak, non-athletic, sickly, scrawny awkward kid with little self-confidence. I like to say that I was “physiquely challenged”.
That condition can be rough on a kid living in a tough town like Pittsburgh. Plus, I wanted to play high school football and knew that I needed to add some muscle for football and life in general unless I wanted to spend my high school years feeling like death warmed over most of the time, sitting on the sidelines and getting my butt kicked.
But when I announced my plans to build my body into a healthier and stronger one, the mocking hit me like a hurricane on the gulf coast. Kids in the neighborhood laughed in my face while insults were hurled that I would always be a “skinny weakling” and other names not fit to print here.
Even people in my own family poured on the doubt. “Why don’t you just be happy with the body you were born with?’ and “you’re not meant to be a physical guy, you should concentrate on using your brain” other well meaning detractors felt they needed to tell me.
But I knew my life was destined for mediocrity in some areas if I did not get more physically fit and strong to compete in the arena of life.
Plus, I had read the stories of Benjamin Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt.
Benjamin Franklin transformed his body and health by doggedly working out with barbells and swimming every day while his buddies mocked him. Years later his buddies worked for him as he worked to change history. He continued his fitness system throughout his life.
Teddy Roosevelt’s father had instructed Teddy as a youth to work hard to improve his poor health and scrawny body. His father felt that Teddy’s lack of physical health would hold him back from being successful later on and possibly limit his life.
Me…December 1974
So Teddy Roosevelt transformed himself into a physical powerhouse, and like Ben Franklin, stuck with it for a lifetime. He went on to accomplish more in his life than most of us even dream about.
Hearing that inspired me and I became laser like focused on getting more fit and strong. Despite ongoing discouragement, I pestered my parents for over a year until I finally convinced them to get me a set of barbells (and apparently a basketball) for Christmas in December 1974!
At first, progress was unbearably slow and even with a few months of dedicated training it seemed like my body was never going to respond as you can see in the picture below from March of 1975.
March 1975
Finally that special moment happened when things took a turn for the better. The High School Football Coach saw me in the hallway between classes one day and asked if I had been lifting weights?
Apparently I had somehow created a muscle on my body! That little encouragement that my work had actually produced a noticeable result was all I needed. (And likely all you need too) I became even more committed to working out and better nutrition.
For the next two years I plunged into studying fitness and nutrition and worked against all odds. But the negativity and insults seemed to grow even stronger. Upper classmen, teachers, my friends and even my parents, brothers and sisters kept warning me of getting my hopes up too much.
I was constantly bombarded with put downs and criticism like, “you are wasting your time, weight lifting will hurt you, stunt your growth, cause hair loss (joking), etc, etc.
But I had to believe a person could use both their brain and their body to build a healthy, high performance physique and victorious life. So, while my high school friends were out partying on Friday nights (I did my share though!) I spent many of my high school evenings in my musty attic gym training and blaring (and singing along with) the Rolling Stones and Led Zepplin.
Gradually, little by little I added more and more strength, health, energy and a newfound level of confidence. Some would even say arrogance!
Below is a picture from my high school graduation party in June of 1977. I had just thrown one of my buddies into the hotel pool and apparently thought this act deserved a flex pose.
June 1977
Though not trim and slim it is clear to see that I had added muscle, size and strength. My goal at that time was to play college football as a lineman, so becoming thinner was not the priority then.
I was now even more hooked on the benefits of fitness training and eating wholesome foods and something in my spirit was also strengthened. I was a somewhat troubled and confused kid looking for hope that I could make it in this life. My physical training efforts gave me that hope at that time.
What I learned through my physical training and more disciplined eating were principles that have helped me to be successful and hopeful in other areas of my life. These principles can help you in your over 50 future.
What I learned is there is always hope we can make life positively different and better. The key is to find out what works and then to keep doing it, making small amounts of progress each day. Those improvements can snowball and add up quickly!
I remained dedicated to my training all the way through college graduation. After graduation things changed as I found the corporate work world posed different and more imposing demands from my previous years.
Working in corporate America for a national restaurant chain meant insanely long hours, crushing stress and ample opportunity to eat and drink too much.
My training and discipline went out the window. Sure enough, problems quickly began to show up in my life. Problems like growing body fat, weak soft muscle, declining energy, poor sleep, mild depression and an overly edgy attitude towards others and life in general. One of my co-workers started calling me, “Mr. Miserable” due to my increasingly negative, slightly hostile and noticeably pessimistic attitude.
I didn’t realize how de-conditioned (trainer language for out of shape) and fat I had become until a trip home to visit my parents and my dad not so gently told me that I had become fat!. Little did I need him to tell me what I already knew as my scale was showing close to 240 pounds!
Below is a picture (Summer of 1983) showing my less than happy attitude and growing fatness!
Summer 1983
I already knew that I needed to get back to training and better eating as watching my weight jump from 190 pounds to nearly 240 was a clue. What finally got my attention though was a numbing and almost paralyzing level of low back pain.
Several years earlier while playing college football I had begun to experience significant pain in my hip and lower back and was diagnosed by our team doctor with a severe case of scoliosis. I was eventually able to get that pain to subside at a manageable level and keep playing football.
How I did that, almost unknowingly, was through increasing the consistency and effectiveness of my work-outs during football season.
But now, due to a new “corporate America” lifestyle and nearly a year of not working out and abusing my body with too much unhealthy food, drink and unhealthy stress, the lower back and hip pain had returned full force.
After visits to several doctors I heard the same news. If I did not get surgery, my situation would continue to deteriorate as I aged. The thinking, I’m sure, was that as I aged I would grow weaker and my bones would get weaker too which would lead to a further deteriorating spine.
One doctor suggested to me that unless I got surgery I could look forward to potentially being a “cripple” by the time I was fifty. I seriously considered surgery at the time but also remembered that back when I had been consistently training there was, for the most part, non-existent low back discomfort and pain.
I asked the doctor if there was any danger in my putting surgery off for a year and instead focus of strengthening my body to see if that could help. The doctor, though skeptical, said that waiting one year was acceptable.
With that in mind, I returned to my fitness and nutrition research and wrote up a new and improved work-out and nutrition system. In a few short months, not only was the pain gone completely, but so was all of the excess body fat I had accumulated. In fact, I had become more fit than ever! (see picture from summer of 1984)
Summer 1984
Summer of 1984, 30 years ago. That’s me in the center with my training partners Dave and Bud. The methods used then are much the same as the ones you will discover in 50FIT.
These methods have proven wrong the “medical experts” who predicted I could be a cripple at 50 if I did not get surgery.
Also proven mistaken were the many doubters and detractors that mocked me saying my methods were incorrect and that I should be “doing more cardio” etc.
Sadly, many of the naysayers in my life are either no longer with us, have very poor health themselves or have had to undergo several excruciating surgeries to try to repair themselves.
On the other hand, the picture above is from 30 years ago and I have never looked back. Now, at 56, I am in even better shape (minus the hair) than I was in the picture above.
And, Lord willing, I will be in even better shape at 65, 75, 85 and maybe even 95 (Good to have big goals right!) than I am today.
You might be thinking, well great for you Fred, why should I care?
Well the reason you might care, is that the secrets I accidentally discovered in my effort to avoid surgery can transform your over 50 fitness, health and wellness too.
And I have taken those secrets that I discovered and turned them into a powerful youth restoring system that simply unlocks the potential within every human body.
This is great news for you too because of how your body is made and how well it can perform if you simply infuse some doable fitness, mindset and nutrition “systems” into your daily life. Systems like those you can get in 50FIT.
You will get an opportunity to learn and apply these systems for your own benefit in a few moments if you desire.
But I have taken all of my 41+ years of hard earned knowledge (read over 1,500 fitness books and articles, have a Masters Degree in Wellness and Health, four personal trainer certifications, over 10,000 hours in the gym working out and testing every conceivable fitness method and exercise on the planet and have worked as a trainer since 1995.
Because of my 41+ years of trial and error experience you get the “gold” I have mined of a simple, realistic, affordable system that can revolutionize your body and mindset in the next 28 days.
Yes, it is entirely possible for you to enjoy better results in the next 28 days than you have experienced in the past 28 months for sure and for some of you, possibly the past 28 years!
What makes me any different than other trainers and those promoting their health and fitness programs? First of all, I have been studying fitness and training longer than most of them have been alive!
Furthermore, I have survived many of the challenges and “wringers” of life that come with added experience and age that can sidetrack a person’s best fitness intentions.
The despair and agony of divorce, helping raise three kids, being “let go” from several jobs and having to relocate families to a new part of the country, death of family members and friends, financial devastation, working multiple jobs to make ends meet, various career changes, ever increasing always unpredictable “issues” that come with growing responsibilities in owning and operating several business while being a husband, busy father and involved in church, scouts and more!
Through all of that and the amount of energy and time required and expended I have managed to maintain my fitness, health and wellness lifestyle. As a result I am a rock solid expert in fitness, health and wellness sustainability.
A 20, 30 and even 40 year old trainer does not know yet what you and I do because they have not faced what we over 50’s have.
But what also makes me different is that I have to train to overcome pain
Like most people, I want to feel and look my best. I want to fully participate in life and protect my health and live a long, rewarding and enjoyable life.
But for me, there is another motivator. If I go more than 1-2 days without some sort of physical training, my low back and hip pain begins to return. In addition to that pain I begin to feel sluggish and can’t seem to think straight. My energy starts to drop and my mood becomes less enthusiastic to say the least.
So, I have had to learn how to maintain my training in the fastest, easiest, most enjoyable and most effective way possible and I will teach you how to do the same.
And if you do, the results you get may positively stun you.
With that in mind 50FIT is a complete over 50 fitness, health, nutrition and wellness lifestyle prescription program that takes you step by step through the next 28 days of your life into a much healthier, leaner, more energetic, fit, and attractive over 50 and beyond future.
In 50FIT I will reveal to you what are some of the most overlooked secrets to more dynamic over 50 and beyond fitness, health and wellness.
But for now I want to make darn sure you are aware of what is probably the most dangerous problem “mysteriously” and ever so slowly destroying your health, undermining your efforts to look and feel your best, causing you to gain excess body fat and making you feel old and tired with growing aches and pains. What is somewhat insane is that almost no one in the health care professions is talking much about it.
Instead, the focus in much of health care and in discussions of becoming fit and healthier is on trying to fix the sickness and disease and over-fat bodies this problem has created.
Furthermore, when trying to improve health and fitness we are often directed to substandard solutions that don’t deal directly with the hidden problem creating so much of the over 50 (and much younger) sluggish, flabby, pain and disease ridden, injury prone, weak and overall “de-conditioned” unhealthy and unfit bodies we seem so willing to tolerate.
But once you know about this almost mysterious issue sabotaging your body and health and how to avoid it and counter it, you will be able to:
Feel like a teenager again with more energy surging through your veins than you have felt in decades. Possess and possibly surpass the metabolism of your 20′s. Improve your posture and shrink your waist and midsection. Sculpt a lean, healthy, more attractive body that makes you feel more confident and self-assured in your swimsuit or birthday suit. Still be able to eat your favorite foods occasionally and not stress over what diet you should be on or worry about everything you eat. Restore hormonal balance naturally without resorting to harmful drugs. Kiss back and knee pain goodbye and say hello to the beauty and joy of moving freely and even with wild abandon (when you get the urge). Look 10 years younger in the next 28 days. Possibly lower risk of high blood pressure, type II diabetes, heart disease and cancer or reduce symptoms of these issues through “systemic’ health training. Gain a more positive outlook about the next chapters of your over 50 story and adventuresome life!
The Almost Unheard of Health Problem Affecting Millions
But first, let’s tackle the true culprit that is stealing most of your beyond 50 fitness, health, health and wellness.
And to make matters worse, also possibly reducing your wealth, emotional energy and time through costly doctor visits, prescriptions and surgeries that in many cases still haven’t fixed your real problem!
By all means, visit your doctor if you are facing health troubles. But it still makes sense that to make things better or to avoid the messes we’ve described above it would be great to get a more accurate diagnosis of your problem in the first place.
And that is what I propose to do for you right now. The real issue that is creating most of the health, wellness and fitness problems of millions of over 50 adults is a condition that is largely ignored by most health “experts”, and even the medical profession.
The fact is that this condition is creating a massive amount of substandard (yes, I like the word substandard) health and fitness and unnecessary suffering in the lives of millions of people
And, though I may not know you personally, I can safely assume that you too may likely be a victim of this fitness, health and potentially life threatening condition.
This condition is known as “Sarcopenia”. Sarcopenia is a Greek word that means, “poverty of the flesh”. Sarcopenia is seen most often in the heath care profession when working with sick and elderly patients. In that case, we simply call it “muscle wasting”.
When a patient goes into the “muscle wasting” phase, they are in danger. That is because once they start to rapidly lose muscle, they obviously begin to lose strength. As they lose strength they lose energy to fight to regain their health and their immune system is weakened as well.
Their muscle also significantly affects their metabolism which affects the health of their cells, the amount of calories they burn and their appetite for healthy foods.
So, if a person is experiencing sarcopenia (muscle wasting), they have a few serious fitness and health problems going on.
You, however, are probably not sitting in a hospital bed with a life threatening disease watching your muscle quickly withering away as you read this. Yet at the same time, unless you are purposely working to stop it each day, your muscle is likely slowly leaking away from your body a very small fraction each day.
You, in actuality, are suffering from a simply slower version of sarcopenia. The only good news you may be able to take comfort in is that you are not alone. Millions of Americans are in the same what I call “lifestyle sarcopenia” boat.
How so you ask?
This is so because research has shown that the average American loses ½ pound of muscle tissue each year after the age of 30 (probably late 20’s these days). That is 5 pounds per decade!
Furthermore, studies by health researcher Wayne Westcott of the YMCA shows that the average American loses 15 pounds of muscle between the ages of 30-60.
So many of the poor health issues people over 50 are facing is in many cases directly related to their muscle loss. For example, a majority of people with back and knee pain have lost their muscle and strength and now they are, “feeling the pain”.
The primary reasons for this sarcopenia lifestyle muscle loss are declining and ineffective physical activity, poor nutrition on a consistent basis and too much ongoing negative stress. Stress hormones break down the body, including muscle and bone tissue.
Unfortunately some people who should know better promote sarcopenia as being, “age related”. As in the banner shown above.
While I agree with the idea that sarcopenia is the number one threat to your health and vitality, I do not agree at all that it is age related. It is not because of your age! That is simply a myth and an excuse too many people use to eliminate themselves from their potential best.
Sarcopenia and muscle leaking are almost entirely lifestyle related!
The main cause of “lifestyle” sarcopenia is declining, ineffective and inconsistent physical activity, poor nutrition and too much unhealthy stress.
That is why I created 50FIT!
50FIT is out to prove that the “age related” sarcopenia theory and mindset is wrong because it is not the truth. Plus, it is just plain wrong to make millions of people think they are victims of their age. That causes me to rage!
OK maybe not rage but definitely get angry. Yes, it makes me very mad to see a message being spread that is not true and causes people to feel sad and blue. The truth is there is much over 50 year olds can do to make our lives better as we age. Especially our fitness and health!
Yes, there are some obvious aging changes we all eventually experience. But when it comes to the leanness, body composition (ratio of fat to muscle), health, bone strength, energy and functional ability, aging changes are minimal from decade to decade as long as you keep your muscle intact and functionally strong.
Dan Ritchie, PHD and an expert in functional aging points out that “master athletes” in their 60’s and 70’s can usually not match their personal best records from their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. While some master level athletes over 50 actually do surpass their records from their youth, most do lose a step or two in their later years.
However, many of those master level athletes can still outperform many of the younger athletes they compete with and easily beat less skilled people 20, 30 and 40 years younger than them.
Loss of capacity due to aging is minimal if you know what to do.
Of the factors outlined above the number one contributor to sarcopenia is declining and INEFFECTIVE physical activity. All physical activity is good and beneficial of course. Nonetheless, some forms are better and just a few are best at preventing or reversing of sarcopenia or what I also call “muscle leaking.”
And, if being active, lean and healthy and living a long full life and looking and feeling your best is important to you, your muscle leaking condition is setting you up ever so slowly for the exact opposite.
The dilemma of “leaking” muscle
You see, as your muscle leaks a little each day you become a little weaker, a little less energetic and a little slower in your movements. As this happens, your metabolism slows which means your body burns less calories each day which means that the muscle you are leaking is now slowly being replaced by body fat unless you are also reducing calories more each day.
Muscle tissue does not change into fat tissue. That is physically impossible. What can happen though is that muscle tissue can be replaced by fat tissue. Especially if you keep eating the same amount as you were.
But as you leak muscle you are not only a little weaker, less energetic and slower, but also feeling less youthful and growing fatter or at least flabbier and softer (less toned) than you were a week ago.
And though you know you should probably get some physical activity or exercise, each day that your muscle leaks away you feel less and less like getting up and moving. Think of it this way. Your muscle is the physical power source and life force of the body. As you let it leak away each day, you are slowly losing your power.
“Older Adults Are Not Sick – They Are Just Weak!” Wall Street Journal, July 2014
And, I know it sounds dramatic to say this, but each day you let your muscle leak away you have lost a small slice your life. Why? Because muscle truly is your physical life source.
As you slowly lose muscle, you are ever so slowly starting to lose your life
You may want to argue against what I just said but you cannot argue (well you could I suppose) that as your muscle leaks you are speeding up your aging process and possibly putting yourself on the path to premature disability and death.
Wow, that sounds pretty dramatic right? Let’s break it down. Where does heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, knee, hip and back pain, excess body fat (obesity for the PC crowd), arthritis and at least some if not all forms of cancer come from?
In many cases a primary factor is a less than healthy body and lifestyle right? And yes, arthritis and cancer are a little tougher to pin down but all of the above are either directly or indirectly related to an inactive, overly stressful day to day lifestyle combined with poor nutrition.
But for now the focus is to help you avoid suffering from muscle leaking or “poverty of the flesh”.
I want to do my best to help you “get it” that if you are interested in being your physical best you have got to find a way to stop the “muscle leaking” most people are unknowingly allowing to happen.
50FIT will stop muscle leaking cold in its tracks as well as give you a ton of other cool fitness, health and wellness benefits. In fact, my belief is that you will be positively shocked at how much more incredible you look and feel in just 28 days of following the 50FIT lifestyle prescription program.
Or, you can choose to pay another co-pay at the doctor’s office, pop another pill, add another artificial body part or get another adjustment. Those solutions may give you some temporary relief and benefit.
50FIT will give you long term, possibly permanent, benefits
And, you won’t have to kill yourself with overly demanding long and boring work-outs or overly restrictive food choices!
But the first benefit I want you to get it is to reverse your muscle loss and begin to restore the muscle of your youth and actually plan to surpass it. Because no matter what else life throws at you, if you are letting your muscle leak away each day, you are in fact living in a sinking ship.
Become an over 50 fitness, health and wellness “rock star”
In order to reverse your muscle loss and enjoy you’re over 50 physical rock star life it will require a combination of desire on your part along with taking action on the golden information you will learn in 50FIT.
This is the information I have spent most of my life learning and benefiting from. What I have learned will save you a ton of time, money, suffering and frustration. And, what I have learned will set you free to become the physical “rock star” you may have had no idea lived inside of you.
This information will transform the bodies and health of any man or woman over the age of 50. However, there are obvious differences in men and women and men and women often have different goals and desires in what they want to see and be in their bodies and health.
In 50FIT I have built in adjustments for men and women to follow if they desire. The basic fundamental program will be the same for both sexes but most women do not want “bigger biceps” just as many men are not focused on “slimming their hips”.
You will be excited to learn that you can make modifications to the 50FIT system to literally sculpt your body and health as you see fit for a man or a woman.
Marilyn Monroe Started It All Over 50 Years Ago. Now You Will Find All of the Knowledgeable and Wealthy Celebrities Like Demi Moore, Vanna White and Jennifer Anniston (soon to be 50!) Using Routines Like Those in 50FIT to Keep Their Bodies Camera Ready for Movies and TV.
How Benjamin Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, Sean Connery (still at it!) and Vin Diesel (age 47) Kicked Butt and Took Names Throughout Their Lives and Kept Their Testosterone Levels Ridiculously High. [Hint: It wasn’t with the aid of any idiotic “low T” or performance enhancing pills or by mindlessly plodding along on a nearly worthless treadmill!]
People like Demi Moore and the Sean Connery are serious about their fitness health and wellness. They use many of the methods like those in 50FIT. Just because we may not be wealthy celebrities should not mean we have to subject ourselves to less than the best!
50FIT is unique because it does not insult you with “Old Fart Fitness” routines like using tiny plastic dumbbells or water aerobics that are better than sitting on your butt for sure but that do very little to make serious improvements.
At the same time, you are not faced with any “fitness fire-breather” fanatic stuff that leaves you feeling like the hulk has just trashed your body. “Killing yourself fitness” does not work long because any sane and reasonable person will not stay with it for long. So without further ado, see below what 50FIT will do for YOU.
Here’s What 50FIT will do for you!
Why both men and women will love 50FIT!
50FIT is not another weight loss or diet program. 50FIT is an all inclusive “lifestyle prescription program” that improves your body composition (reduces fat/preserves lean, healthy and attractive muscle), your health (avoid/reduce chronic disease and pain) and your performance (mobility, stamina, range of motion, energy, activity ability). 50FIT is an all encompassing yet brief work-out. It improves your core, your strength, your energy systems (heart, lungs, arteries and blood vessels) and movement quality. Most other fitness programs are focused on improving only one of these factors and many of them (such as a treadmill) do a pretty crappy job as far as measurable results go! 50FITincorporates a sensible and sustainable nutrition format and motivational mind-set tools you can use for not just 28 days of success, but for the rest of your life!
Here is the bottom line list of what 50FIT means to YOU
It will move you to drop 10 pounds of body fat in 28 days. Have the body of your youth again. You can reverse the clock and look 10 years younger as your waist shrinks and your body regains a lean & fit youthfulness. Be able to improve your fitness with an enjoyable, time-friendly lifelong system that can be done at the gym or at home in your pajamas with zero or minimal equipment. Move with the beauty, grace, strength and power of a puma by using full body, functional metabolic strength training. This is the most effective fitness method known for dropping excess body fat and adding youthful muscle and years of enjoyable life. Look more attractive than you have in a long time. Maybe better than ever! Avoid/reduce the deadly Metabolic Syndrome which threatens your life! The blend of your abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood glucose and elevated triglycerides is a more likely predictor of coronary vascular disease than diet or genetics alone.> Fight damaging belly fat hormones that destroy your cellular health. Fortify yourself against the ravages of unhealthy and depressing stress! Feel a surge of energy as stress hormones flee your body and beta endorphins flood your brain to elevate your mood and boost your spirit with a happier outlook on your day and life. Reverse type II diabetes. Yes, you can possibly be less dependent on or even eliminate drugs to treat type II diabetes! Possibly extend your life by 10 active, full enjoyable years (you will learn how and why in 50FIT).
Be truly excited about the “second half century” of your life as you begin to comprehend that most of what we are told about aging and health is mediocre and that we can be physical “rock stars” into our 90’s without medications, surgeries, expensive equipment, gym memberships, personal training (money well spent if your trainer is good, but I will teach you more and better than most of them for a fraction of the cost!) Look better in your jeans. Your butt should be the strongest muscle on your body. When it is strong and conditioned, it not only looks better and firmer, but (no pun intended) it will power-ize your whole physique and persona. Plus, building a strong healthy butt is one of the best ways to eliminate back pain. A strong butt is a happy butt, I like to say! You will soon have a happier butt if you join me in the 50FIT lifestyle. Start on finally getting your six pack abs. If you have never had six pack abs, you may be able to make that happen in 28 days. However, it will likely take a bit longer depending on how far you have to go and how well you follow this program. You will, however, make noticeable progress to your six pack abs in the next 28 days if you follow 50FIT! Strengthen your weak and painful knees, back, hips and shoulders so you can live free to participate in all of the great adventuresome activities that life has to offer. All of these issues are due in part to a de-conditioned, weak body. You can overcome that. The body is one comprehensive connected together system. If your knees hurt for example, that is a clue that overall your physical systems need some work! Reduce your risk of cancer and other life threatening, debilitating diseases. Lower your resting heart rate, strengthen your heart and reduce your chances or heart disease or heart attack. Be more injury resistant as you “bullet proof” your joints, ligaments, bones and muscles so that when you fall or jar your body you can better endure trauma with less chance of the drama of broken bones and having to sit on the sidelines of life for weeks or months. Reduce your blood pressure and cholesterol naturally with less dependence on pharmaceutical drugs and their less than enjoyable side effects. Improve your hormonal profile. For men, improve testosterone and growth hormone without having to take any prescription drugs or bogus supplements. For women one of the best ways to improve your hormone health is to strengthen your body. No worries, you won’t look like a man. Marilyn Monroe was the first women to use strength training to improve her body and her health and I think we would all agree she did not look like a man! Improve your confidence in all physical activities and sports and every area of your life. Improve your posture, power and presence. Walk with greater confidence and charisma. Tones your muscles, which looks great and raises your basal metabolism, which causes you to burn more calories 24 hours a day. You’ll even burn more calories while you’re sleeping! Reverse the natural decline in your metabolism that begins around age 30. Be more energized. Energy is developed in your muscle cells.
If that Wasn’t Enough Good Stuff for You Already, Keep Reading!

Increases your stair and mountain climbing power. Can increase your overall activity level more than 25%. Can increase your resting metabolic rate by 15%. You can gain strength increases of 113%!

Makes your body stronger and safer for everyday working, living & playing. Improves your health and function of your nerves and nervous system. Makes you less prone to low-back injuries. Decreases your resting blood pressure. At least 10 other amazing, incredible things I didn’t think of that will make your life better!!
Stop Accepting Counter-Fit Fitness, Health, Nutrition and Wellness Solutions That Leave You in a Fog of Frustration!
To enjoy the benefits listed above you must first push past the fog of fitness misinformation being foisted upon you. There is so much counter-fit health, fitness, fat-loss, and wellness information being spread that it can seem impossible to get to the few essential facts you need to know and follow.
In my experience, the number one thing that is messing up over 50 fitness and health lives is ignorance. Not knowing the truth of what is actually possible for you and really works.
In 50FIT you will learn the truth and the few essential facts that you can trust to thrust you into great over 50 shape.
50FIT assumes that living within each over 50 year old person is a true physical stud or stud-ette waiting to be set free! The issue for way too many over 50 year olds though is that they do not believe that this level of fitness is still possible for them. Or perhaps they have never felt that way, even in their under 50 days!
If that describes you, that is about to change for you! Have you ever said or thought, “I wish I knew about this a long time ago? It would have saved me so much time, money, headache and heartache!”

#4 – 50FITNo Nonsense Nutrition Method
Finally, a no-nonsense nutrition plan you can use for a lifetime of serious success!

Thankfully, you can discover the simple no-nonsense facts about food and being fit. This simple nutrition plan is so easy to follow that you’ll be able to use it no matter how busy your life is.
You won’t have to prepare 6 meals each day and haul around a cooler at work (Like I used to do). Instead, you’ll discover how to enjoy your favorite foods without the guilt and unsatisfactory fitness and body fat.
You’ll be able to enjoy eating, shed fat faster and become healthier and more energetic with a powerful combination of the 50FIT workouts and this easy-to-follow, but no-nonsense nutrition plan that you will love.
Here’s what you get with the No Nonsense Nutrition Method:
A simple formula to know how many calories to aim for each day. This is not a “calorie counting” program per say but calories do affect excess fat build up on the body so “calorie awareness” is important. Nutrition basics of Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates in a way that makes sense to you. These are the three macronutrients and are more important to your success than just counting calories. You will learn why “low fat” diets are truly not the best way to build a lean body and healthy heart. The two nutrition mistakes most people make that keep them over-fat and under-fit and how you can easily avoid these costly mistakes that destroy your otherwise best efforts. An outline of what are the worst foods to eat, which are average, good and great and how to get better at putting more great and less poor foods on your plate. Because of your 50FIT exercise program, you can occasionally eat commonly frowned upon “bad” foods and drink such as french fries or beer and still reach your goals. You will be encouraged to eat more of the great and good foods of course, but there will be those times to take a break from your more disciplined eating! You will get a mix of methods to give you a variety of meal “schedules” throughout the week. For example you will learn ways you can have smaller frequent meals and/or use intermittent fasting, eat larger dinners if you like, have late night snacks, enjoy your favorite carbohydrates occasionally, follow Paleo principles and much much more! The No-Nonsense Nutrition Plan makes sense and can be used for an entire lifetime. I have studied nutrition for over 40 years and worked as a nutrition professional in health care, schools and fitness facilities. This approach incorporates the best of the best of what I have learned, is super simple, gives you choice and flexibility and the ability to occasionally “cheat” and eat your favorite comfort foods. You will be “free” of the foolishness of constant dieting but instead be fortifying your newfound over 50 physical fortress with wholesome, filling, great tasting foods. You will also learn which, if any, supplements you may want to add to your nutrition plan. However, you can be stunningly successful without any supplements! In summary, if you have struggled with food, excess body fat, disciplining yourself to follow a diet and not-so-great health and wellness partly because you eat too much and too much of the wrong stuff, you will be thrilled with the No-Nonsense Nutrition Methods!
