40 seems to be a magic dividing line for athletes at any level, in any
sport.
As someone who has been pumping iron since his thirties, I can tell you that
now, approaching 50, it's much harder to get lean, harder to get stronger, and
harder to stay injury-free. Still, it can be done.
Since this is a personal website, I'd like to share some personal tips for
staying fit and strong.
Exercise is not the whole prescription for fitness over 40. I discovered,
almost too late, that good nutrition is perhaps even more important. As someone
who was on a fast track towards having a heart attack in his forties, and having
now completely reversed that situation, I would like to tell you about what
helped me.
And after all these years in the gym, I'd also like to share some
"secrets of iron."
Finally, several
books over the years have provided information and inspiration.
