What is The Power of 50+ about?
The Power of 50+ is a practical guide for people over 50. It covers strength training, cardio, mobility, injury prevention, nutrition, sleep and stress, and libido. At the end you find quick-start guides for 50+, 60+ and 70+.
Is this book only for men?
No. The book is written for men and women over 50. Energy, movement, food, sleep and libido matter at any age and for everyone.
Do I need previous gym experience to use this book?
No. The book is written for beginners too. Start where you are today. Even 5, 10 or 15 minutes of movement is a starting line, and you build up week by week.
What topics does the book cover?
Mindset and motivation, the science of training and nutrition, strength training, cardio, mobility and injury prevention, sports nutrition, high-protein recipes, sleep and stress, libido and hormones, and real success stories. The quick-start guides for 50+, 60+ and 70+ close the book.
How is this book different from other fitness books?
Most fitness books are written for younger readers. This one is written for people over 50. Next to training and food, it also covers sleep, stress and libido.
Where can I get the book?
The book is available as an eBook, paperback and hardcover on Amazon and in other bookstores. You can find the links on thepowerof50.com.
Why did you write this book?
I wrote it because I went through this myself. There are plenty of fitness books, but few that keep things simple and honest for people over 50, and few that talk about libido and intimacy.
Do I need a gym membership or equipment?
The program uses machines such as a leg press, chest press and lat pulldown, or a resistance band. Every exercise has a simpler version you can do at home, like wall push-ups or a band row. A pair of dumbbells is enough to start.
How long until I see results?
The book asks for a 90-day commitment: three strength sessions a week, light cardio, protein with every meal and 7 to 9 hours of sleep. Everyone starts from a different point, so progress differs from person to person. Talk to your doctor or another healthcare provider before you begin.
Does the book also work at 60 and 70?
Yes. The book has three quick-start guides, for 50+, 60+ and 70+. Each one is adapted to that age group.
