Pages : 224
Book Description
"[Fit at Mid-Life] reinforces the message that fitness can and should be for everyone, no matter their age, size, gender, or ability." ––SELF What if you could be fitter now than you were in your twenties? And what if you could achieve it while feeling more comfortable and confident in your body? In Fit at Mid-Life, bloggers and philosophy professors Samantha Brennan and Tracy Isaacs share the story of how they got the fittest they'd ever been by age 50––and how you can, too. Their approach to fitness is new and different—it champions strength, health, and personal accomplishment over weight loss and aesthetics––and explores the many challenges, questions, and issues women face when seeking fitness in their forties, fifties, and beyond. Drawing from the latest research, Brennan and Isaac deliver a wealth of concrete advice on everything from how to keep bones strong to what types of fitness activities give the biggest returns. Taking a feminist perspective, they also challenge society’s default whats, whys, and hows of every aspect of getting fit to show how women can best take charge of their health—no matter what their shape, size, age, or ability. "Fit at Mid-Life combines personal stories with scientific evidence, feminist reflections and how-to advice for both women and men who don’t want fitness to fade away in their middle years."––The Toronto Star

Book Description
If I'm honest with myself, I have to admit that I entered the fitness world for all the wrong reasons. Thus begins my memoir about a decade in the fitness world; a decade of trying to turn a hobby into a business. I share with you some of the funny - and downright crazy - things that happened along the way. Who is this book for? It's for you, the person who picked it up and wants an inside look at the fitness world, the world of entrepreneurship, and what happens when things don't go as planned. I've pulled back the curtain to reveal some of what I went through in this, my third career in as many decades. As I turn to my now fourth career as an author, I want to close the chapter on fitness by acknowledging all the sweat - metaphorical and literal - that dribbled and percolated out of me over the past decade. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the wonderful world of fitness. And if it encourages you to join a gym or group exercise class, that's great. If it inspires you to get up and move more, well, my work here is done. Enjoy! From the foreword: "Whether you are an avid fitness junkie, weekend warrior, fitness instructor, or just your everyday Joe, there's something for you in this book...As you read through Amanda's journey from beginning to end, you gain inside information and a few laughs you didn't know you needed. So sit down with a cup of coffee and get ready to have a great conversation with a friend. Because that's exactly what this book feels like - a conversation with a friend about real life."
