Review of Fit Over 40

Fit Over 40 is a best selling ebook (a digital book that you download to your computer) that profiles 52 men and women between the ages of 40 and 80 who have achieved amazing health and fitness.

Fit Over 40 was written by Jon Benson and Tom Venuto. Jon was obese when he was in his 30s and was warned by his doctor that he probably wouldn't live to see 40. He made major lifestyle changes, and now, at 46 years old, is extremely fit and healthy. Jon's transformation is what inspired him to write the book. Tom is a respected fat loss expert and the author of the best selling ebook Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle.

Fit Over 40 is different from most other health and fitness books in that it's based on role modeling. Role modeling is when you follow the methods of people who have achieved what you want to achieve.

When Jon decided to get fit and healthy, he determined that role modeling was the most effective way to do it. He interviewed and worked with dozens of role models and developed his own personalized exercise and nutrition program based on what he learned from them. Within 12 months, Jon was able to decrease his body fat from 38% to 9%, reduce his waist size from 44 inches to 33 inches, double his strength, lower his blood pressure, and get into the best shape of his life.

Because role modeling was so instrumental in Jon's success, he decided to compile an entire book full of health and fitness role models. Fit Over 40 contains the profiles of 52 men and women between the ages of 40 and 80 who are committed to exercise, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

What makes Fit Over 40 so interesting and useful is that it's not just one person's ideas on exercise, nutrition and healthy living, it's the ideas of 52 diverse people. These people tell you in their own words how they train, how they eat, and how they think about health and fitness. These are real people who have achieved real results, and they share exactly how they did it.

I'm 53 years old myself, and reading about the role models and seeing their pictures was very informative and motivating. I was able to make improvements to my own exercise and nutrition program based on what I learned from several of the role models.

In addition to the profiles of the role models, Fit Over 40 contains Jon's inspiring transformation story and plenty of information and advice from Tom Venuto on strength training, aerobic exercise and nutrition, as well as his over-40 training tips and anti-aging strategies.

My one complaint with the book is that the section dealing with Jon's transformation story should have been proofread better. There are several sentences where a word is missing or a word is repeated, and it seemed like the word "literally" was used much too often. But this is a minor complaint, and overall I found the book to be enjoyable, inspiring and packed full of useful information.

The bottom line?

If you're looking for some quick fix or "magic pill" solution to getting fit over 40, this book is not for you. If you want to learn from a group of extraordinary role models how to use exercise and nutrition to get fit and healthy and slow down the aging process, this book is exactly what you need.
