[It] maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, 'The Barbell Prescription' challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health -- and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job." --Page [4] of cover.

Rebuild your bones : the 12-week osteoporosis protocol / by Calton, Mira,author.(CARDINAL)608376; Calton, Jayson,author.(CARDINAL)608375;
Included bibliographical references (pages 279-3100 and index."A guide to understanding and reversing osteoporosis with a 12-week plan featuring diet, lifestyle, and supplement adjustments to achieve micronutrient sufficiency and rebuild stronger bones Mira and Jayson Calton know all about building strong bones; Mira developed advanced osteoporosis at the age of 30 and, with Jayson's help, reversed her disease through micronutrient therapy. Readers will be shocked to learn that their so-called "healthy" diets may actually be contributing to their micronutrient deficiencies and ultimately their osteoporosis. In fact, the majority of the foods many of us eat are micronutrient-poor, filled with what the Caltons call "naked calories"--foods that have been stripped of their essential, health-promoting micronutrients. Our diets are also filled with antinutrients--naturally occurring substances in certain foods that can reduce the body's ability to absorb micronutrients. In Mira's case, she was getting plenty of these naked calories and antinutrients, but very few of thevitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and amino acids her body needed to maintain strong bones.      In Beating Osteoporosis, the Caltons reveal how our lifestyle habits may be depleting essential micronutrients in our bodies. They provide an easy-to-follow prescriptive plan to reverse these effects, including recipes and meal plans that will appeal to all readers (including keto, paleo, low-carb, vegan, and low-fat options), exercise advice, supplement plans, and checklists. Thisis the go-to guide for anyone who wants to safely and naturally reverse or stave off osteoporosis, without drugs"--

Peak 40 : the new science of mid-life health for a leaner, stronger body and a sharper mind / by Bubbs, Marc,author.(CARDINAL)805272;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Work smarter, not harder. The first guide to truly holistic health and fitness for those in their 40s From Tom Brady to Serena Williams, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer athletes are increasingly peaking later in their careers. Let Dr Marc Bubbs be your personal trainer in this accessible guide- aimed exclusively at those in their 40s. Create a customized program that works for YOU-from diet, to sleep, type of training and mindset, this book has all the tools you need. Peak 40 is for anyone wanting to rediscover the best version of themselves coming into their 40s. Author Dr Marc Bubbs is a performance nutritionist with a portfolio of professional and Olympic athletes - but he is also the dad of three girls, all under 7! Dr. Bubbs is here with you, in the eye of the mid-life storm, and he has created the ultimate book to help you through it. For fans of Joe Wicks and Michael Mosley, Dr. Bubbs offers simple, evidence-based and time-efficient strategies to help you reignite your energy and passion. His realistic, grown-up and non-judgemental approach is to explain the effect some food groups and lack of exercise and sleep have on our body. The information presented is easy to digest and he offers advice that can be tailored to your body and personality type. In his expert opinion, small changes such as 'not eating after 8pm for five out of seven days' can have a big impact on weight loss and positive mood. Rather than eliminating certain food groups like fats and carbohydrates, he looks at 'turning the dial' on them depending on individual needs. If life has become too sedentary, he provides ways to increase suppleness so that you can start to reintroduce movement into your life without causing pain. Guiding us through the myriad of confusion lifestyle messages, Dr. Bubbs teaches us: How to increase flexibility; How to train with achy joints, knees, back, shoulders...; Whether a plant-based diet is right; How to maintain bone health; Whether to lift weights; Who should do HIIT (and who shouldn't); The importance of glucose control in your diet; Advice on dealing with anxiety and low mood; How to set realistic expectations."--

Unbreakable : go strong. live long. a woman's guide to aging with power / by Wright, Vonda,author.(CARDINAL)491944;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 335-360) and index.Introduction: We are not the victims of the passage of time -- The time bombs of aging -- Movement: Your strongest shield for an unbreakable future -- Building an unbreakable mindset -- Where are you now? The unbreakable assessment -- The exercise prescription for FACE-ing your unbreakable future -- F: Flexibility and mobility -- A: Aerobic activity -- C: Carrying a load -- E: Equilibrium and footspeed -- Unbreakable nourishment -- When menopause enters the equation -- Peak mental performance -- Moving beyond optimized health and into peak physical performance -- Precision longevity: A journey into the final frontier -- Appendix 1: Exercise protocols -- Appendix 2: Dr. Vonda's dinner system and favorite unbreakable recipes -- Appendix 3: Unbreakable strategies for managing pain and injury.Stronger muscles and bones, increased mobility, lifelong independence, and a new mentality for aging with power--this cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training, and lifestyle will optimize a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity yet too often women in particular neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss, and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms--what Dr. Vonda Wright refers to as the "musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause"--can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility, and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr. Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories: Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function. Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth. Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life. Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of "zombie cells" and improve your cell function. Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.
