I like this comment about my new book so much, I plan to use some of it in my future sales literature ....... I am flattered.
Michael Spitzer’s Fitness at 40,50,60 and Beyond is an honest science based program that can transform your body and allow as much as 30 lbs of fat loss in 16 weeks.
Not just a typical diet book, Spitzer explains the effects of aging on the body and offers a 3-part program that produces all around fitness for fat loss, better muscle tone, greater flexibility and more energy.
No hype, no wild claims, no false promises. This 432 page book tells it like it is. A balance of diet, resistance training, and cardio combined in a precise 3-day-per-week plan produces impressive body changes in just 4 months.
Although a portion of the book focuses on the effects of aging on bones, joints, hormones, mood, sexual function, heart, lungs, and muscle fibers – the program and diet will benefit people of all ages looking to improve their fitness and lose weight in the most time efficient manner possible.

www.amazon.com/gp/product/0989034801REVIEWS from AMAZON -- FITNESS at 40,50,60 and BEYOND by Michael Spitzer Michael Spitzer has compiled a fascinating amount of information that reveals both the mind of a scientist/nutritionist and the physical experience of a true body builder. The result is more than exceptional, because he also conveys this information in an engaging format that will keep even those with a cursory interest in this material glued to the pages—pages that will enlighten and change ones lifestyle, health and even happiness IF they heed Spitzer’s sound advice. And one look at the author (before & after) is enough to prove every dietary guideline and exercise routine he has suggested for “our” benefit. Age does not have to be a dead end, and this book makes you want to shift into high gear again to reclaim a modicum of our youth. Highly recommended! ________________________ As a 50 year old woman, I was finding it hard to lose the weight I had gained over the years. I could tell my metabolism was slower and the extra weight was causing me to start feeling pain in my knees and back. I tried some other popular advertised weight loss plans. I would lose a few pounds, start to feel good about myself but then suddenly gain the weight back. Mike's diet and exercise information along with another book Metabolism Miracle by Diane Kress is what finally worked for me. My girlfriend from college days was in the same shape as me. She also followed this same plan and we both lost 40 pounds between July and December. We are not just lighter but feel more toned and clothes shopping Is exciting again. __________________ I was first attracted by the title of this book, as I fit in the beyond group and I have not seen a book I wanted to purchase that was in my interest. I am a healthy, active woman but with extra weight, weight that I don't need or want. I find this book as a useful means, It is well researched and detailed. I live in a colder area and going to the gym on snow days can be a problem for me. I will appreciate chapters 7 and 8 training at home and odds and ends. Great helps to stay fit. Another good chapter of interest that will be useful to me is chapter 3 nutrition and helpful hints. I think I can lose weight and improve my health with this one book that I was happy to receive today.

Newest book review from AMAZON for "Fitness at 40,50,60 and Beyond"
5 Stars-
Amazing book with abundant useful fitness information
By MEC on January 23, 2014
I am half way reading the book and I am very impressed with all the fact compilations from the author without trying to sell you a product or a regimen as it's typically done. It's written in a very simple, accessible way so anybody could understand the concepts however well documented and scientifically supported. I personally value the encouragement and positive approach to fitness at this age, being in that group myself. It's truly an inspiration!!!

Another Amazon 5 star Review for FITNESS at 40,50,60 ad BEYOND
Informative and realistic, January 31, 2014
By
RAM54 (USA)
This review is from: Fitness at 40, 50, 60 and Beyond (Paperback)
This book is well written and give you honest realistic information. Not a gimmick like 'lose a pound a day' but good intelligent information and guidelines that the average person can understand and stick with. Great photos to show you how to do the exercises correctly.
This author clearly knows what he is talking about and how to get his point across to the masses.

Nothing else worked for me, but I lost 40 pounds in 6 months thanks to this book.
By stubbycat on January 5, 2014
I should point out that I know the author personally.
In fact, I am one of the many people who encouraged him to write this book.
As a 50 year old woman, I was finding it hard to lose the weight I had gained over the years.
I could tell my metabolism was slower and the extra weight was causing me to start feeling pain in my knees and back.
I tried some other popular advertised weight loss plans. I would lose a few pounds, start to feel good about myself but then suddenly gain the weight back.

This Book Works . . . If You "Work" the Book
By lfowler910 on January 27, 2014
First of all, let's face it, if you are 40, 50, 60 and beyond (or even if you are 20, 30), you know that there is no "miracle" cure, drug, powder, or program for weight loss and getting fit, it just does not exist. YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE . . . THERE'S JUST NO WAY AROUND IT! I am 50 years old and I have struggled with my weight and the whole idea of exercise all of my life. Over the past 10 years, through watching what I eat (types of foods and amounts) and walking 3 miles a day, I have been able to lose over 90 lbs, but for the past year or so I have reached the point where I am no longer losing. With respect to exercise, I'll be honest, I just don't like going to gym (mainly because I don't know what to do with the equipment or the right way to exercise). That is why this book is GREAT. This book starts by telling you the science behind aging, weight loss and exercise and its effects on the body, and then provides actual diet tips, but, most importantly for me, it provides actual guidance as to an exercise routine, resistance training (lifting weights), and provides great pictures as to how an exercise should be done and a schedule for when to do the exercises and how often. This is exactly what I need, because I am at a loss when it comes to the gym and what I should be doing and how (therefore, I just never tried). It only takes me about 75 minutes to lift weights and do the cardio plan, which was a great surprise to me (I always thought "going to the gym" would be a 2 hour ordeal!), and that is only 3 days a week (the other days I just do cardio)! I have also had the opportunity to speak personally with the author and to get some pointers (oh, and by the way, the picture of the author on the cover of the book is real . . . not touched up). He has used these techniques over the years, they are proven and it shows. I wish I would have had this book 30 years ago! If you are looking for a book that has been tested, tried, and proven, then THIS BOOK IS IT! If you "work" this book, it will "work" for you.
Excellent Book

I was first attracted by the title of this book, as I fit in the beyond group and I have not seen a book I wanted to purchase that was in my interest.

More Feedback...
" I wish I had this book before I spent $800 on a personal trainer"
" I know this is supposed to be for people over 40, but it's actually good advice for everybody. If I had started a routine like this when I was in my 30s I would be in much better shape today."
" Your information really helped me. I'm 51 years old and have lost 25 pounds in 3 months. That is better than any results I got trying other diets and plans."
" It was refreshing to see an honest and well explained program to really take charge and lose weight instead of all the money wasting scams seen on TV. I have never seen these fitness topics explained in such an in depth and entertaining way."
" Its really packed with lots of information, but is written in a way that makes it interesting. I liked the story about you and your wife meeting the elderly couple on the Great Wall of China."
" I own several books about exercise, but none of them explain the proper technique like you do. Now I know why my joints used to hurt and I never got the results I thought I should have."
" I think this may be the new Bible for diet and training for the AARP generation here. I'm not just saying that to be nice. This book covers almost everything a person could ask for."
" It is good that you give equal attention to both men and women. Your discussion of body mechanics between the sexes is something I have never seen covered in books of this type in the past."
" I found the informational chapters very interesting. I think it is much easier to stick with anything when you know WHY, instead of just being told "eat this", "do so many reps of that." Fast Twitch versus Slow Twitch and how the Fast Twitch deteriorates faster with age, for instance-interesting, useful stuff."
" The first night reading this book I learned four things I have been doing wrong for years. Now I know why I saw no results."
" Over the years I have tried almost every product or diet that comes out. Sometimes they work a little bit, but nothing seemed to really work for long. I was happy to be one of the test subjects for this book at the center because I needed to do something. I was only getting heavier and feeling worse. What can I say? This works. That is all that matters for anybody like me who was serious about improving my health and was finally tired of wasting money on garbage that promised everything but delivered nothing"
" Hurray. No more loose and and flabby batwing arms.

Sometimes the need for honesty takes priority over modesty.
In a small local interview about my book this weekend I was asked ..
"What is special about your new book"
My reply .........
"The book tells the honest truth on how to get surprisingly fit after age 40. When a person finally reaches the point they are fed up wasting money with all the lies, scams, and other miracle products on TV that promise easy weight loss and they have reached the point where they are ready to get serious, take charge, and REALLY make a change -- then this new book tells the truth on what it takes to get there -- with lots of success stories to back it up. Guaranteed "

Regarding the new FITNESS book --- several people have written to say they really like the story of 92 year old Chinese couple we met on the Great Wall --------- and also the inspiration they found in the last "Final Words" section.

Newest Review for FITNESS at 40,50,60 and BEYOND.............
Much more than your basic exercise and diet book, April 12, 2014
By Andrea Polk (Pacific Northwest - USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) This review is from: Fitness at 40, 50, 60 and Beyond (Paperback)
Michael has taken a great deal of care to make sure that anyone age 40+ can easily learn the concepts within it and apply them to their own life. Fitness at 40, 50, 60 and Beyond is a 'realistic plan' for how to change your health...and your life.
Being a woman in my mid-40's, a former athlete and police officer, I know the value of fitness. I also know what it means to be fit versus just looking good. It's always a two-fold proposition: exercise AND dietary changes, to get stronger and healthier, at any age.
This is what the author is advocating, and it has worked for him, and many, many others to get fit. It's not an overnight 'fix', but rather a well-written book that explains a lot of fitness-related details and discusses how they fit into your overall health. The Glycemic Index and flexibility as it relates to mobility, were particularly good inclusions in this book.
With this book you get both a realistic, healthy eating plan and a way to get started with resistance and cardio training. Exercises for specific body parts are illustrated by photos of the author doing them. Training at home and in the gym are addressed, so no one is left out. All good, solid, accurate information delivered in an easy-to-follow way.
At the end of the book 'Odds and Ends" include Female Hormone Instability, Cholesterol Control, Better Sleep and more!
Both my husband who is in his 70's (and has worked out almost daily for 50 years), and I have read this book and we have both found it to be very helpful and well done.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a guide to 'how-to' for older folks, but truly it's much more than that as it offers exercise and diet related information with lots of age-related tips and guidance. Michael is very knowledgeable and in this book, it shows!
