The message is simple: Learn to train for the next third of your life, and you'll have a ball.

September 20, 2009: I read this book the first time about 18 months ago. It changed my behavior. I started exercising, eating better and lost 20 pounds. Then I flunked a nuclear stress test, and needed a quadruple bypass. I am doing well. And I truly believe that I came through it better because of the action that this book motivated me to take.

September 05, 2009: Even though this book is targeted at men ages 50-70, and I'm not QUITE there yet (although I can see 50 through the windshield closer than 40 through the rear-view mirror), this book was a VERY worthwhile read. It contains both interesting and up-to-date medical insights into aging as well as motivation to help you prevent as much aging occurring as possible. It's VERY well-written and exceedingly straight-forward and to the point. Don't expect to be treated with kid gloves. Basic rule - exercise hard 45 minutes a day 6 days a week for the rest of your life.
