Lose Fat, Build Muscle, Beat Aging, Inspire Your Kids, The Science of Getting Shredded in Midlife.

As we walked the teeming streets of Hong Kong in the middle of high summer, the utterly damp heat felt like a weighted vest. Sweat drained from nearly every pore. My drenched shirt clung to my belly and the small of my back revealing to the world around us the contours of my middle-aged body in decline.

To my forty-four-year-old self’s horror, my teenage son, taking notice, began loudly chanting, “Daaaaad Bod! Daaaad Bod!” for all to hear. He thought he was hilarious. I thought, “My God, he’s right.” But the mocking of my son served as the wake-up call I needed.

Can you relate?

Today, two years later, at age 46, I can honestly say that I am “ripped”. I am literally in the best shape of my life. I have a “six-pack” and “guns”. My waist measures in at forty-five percent of my height. I keep up with all but the fittest 20-somethings in the gym. Just the other day at the gym, a professional bodybuilder who works out there asked me when I was going to start competing. I’m 46 years old. How did I do it? More importantly, how can you do it?

Where do you even start?
What kind of workout is best?
How many days per week is optimum for training?
What should you be eating?
How does getting in shape now slow down aging?
Is CrossFit for you?
Exactly how can you become more attractive by getting fit?
Does it matter to your kids if you take care of yourself physically?
Should you be taking supplements?

The answers are contained in this book.

Over 200 references to the most up-to-date scientific research available on the topic of getting fit in mid-life, with 21 pages of endnotes.

This is not “bro science”. This not what your gym teacher taught you in high school or what you heard from some guy at work. This is not what you saw on the cover of that glossy men’s fitness magazine promising you a magic pill or impossible results.

No, this is EVIDENCE-BASED SCIENCE that is proven to get you lean and fit written by a guy who has done the work to transform his body.
