Are you pushing 50 – or (like me) are you well past that?

I’ll bet you’ve heard about the tremendous benefits of exercise and weight training . . . how seniors may slow the aging process and retain – or even reclaim – much of the strength and fitness of youth. Well, it really is true.

Let me show you how.

A strength and fitness blueprint for senior beginners . . .

End any confusion and guessing about beginning training with this easy-to-follow book for mature beginners. It is written in plain, non-technical English.

The most affective strength and fitness programs known combine weight training with cardiovascular exercise. It doesn't matter if you are a world class athlete or an average man or woman. Weights and cardio are the premier formula for optimal fitness.

Many sources provide solid bodybuilding, exercise and fitness advice. However, information specifically for seniors isn't as plentiful. If you are close to 50, 60, 70, or more, you should adjust the content, volume and intensity of your workouts. Doing too much too soon may result in overuse injuries or psychological burnout. I will show you how to avoid them.

My promise to you: Follow my step-by-step guide and you will be on the path to greater strength, normal body weight, and vibrant fitness.

For a mere $19.95 you can make Gray Iron: A Fitness Guide for Senior Men and Women your step-by-step road-map to success. Now that is real value!

The newsletter and web site provide information to help users establish and maintain a fitness lifestyle. But fitness information is not the same as fitness advice, which is the application of exercise and dietary practices to an individual's specific circumstances. Therefore, always consult with your physician for assurance that fitness information, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate for you.
