Biggest Excuses Some People May Make To Avoid Starting A Health &
Fitness Program After 40:
1."It sounds great, but my hormones are a mess."
My hormones were so messed up at one point, it looked like there was
no hope for me. I overcame it with diet and by working with my
doctor. You can, too.
2."Well, I'm too embarrassed to go into a gym."
So was I at first. Did you look at my before picture? Start
exercising at home, get outside and walk, but do SOMETHING... Now!
3."But I couldn't possibly gain muscle at my age."
Actually, the research is 100% conclusive about this... you can gain
strength and muscle at any age. Landmark studies by William Evans at
Tufts University showed that men and women in their 80's and 90's are
as responsive to strength training as anyone.
4."Yeah, but I can't change my diet because my family eats a certain
way and we'd all have to change."
You go first then. By setting the example and being a "leader",
you'll become the positive influence in your family and you may be
surprised how family and friends will follow.
5."I work out enough just doing yard work."
Good for you. Even mild exercise like gardening or raking leaves has
health benefits. But how's your muscle to fat ratio? How's your
strength? Do you like the way you look naked? Truth is, you NEED a
comprehensive program ¡ª strength training, cardio, nutrition, and
proper mental attitude or you're settling for so much less than you
can be
6."Those people have superior genes."
You're right¡ªsome of the people in Fit OVER 40 do have above average
genetics. But many of them have horrible genetics and overcame that.
Besides, the research shows that genetics are only 30% of the
equation. That 30% is an advantage for sure, but any gerontologist
will tell you that 70% of the aging effects most people experience
are NOT "normal" and can be prevented through lifestyle factors under
your control.
7."But I don't want to look like Arnold."
Don't worry. It's extremely difficult to gain muscle bulk unless
you're shooting up steroids or you're some kind of genetic freak. FIT
OVER 40 training principles will make you toned and lean, they won't
turn you into Mr. or Ms Universe.
8."I'm post menopausal."
So are almost ALL the women inside the FIT OVER 40 e-book. If they
did it during or after menopause, what's stopping you?
9."I have osteoporosis."
Well in that case, you can't afford NOT to improve your diet and
begin some weight bearing exercise IMMEDIATELY to improve your bone
density or your osteoporosis will only get worse! (check with your
doctor first, then get moving!)
10."I tried before and failed."
Really? So you try things once and then you give up? When you were a
baby and you fell over the first time you tried to walk, do you wish
your parents had given up and said "Oh well, he tried to walk once
and fell over¡ªI guess he'll just have to crawl the rest of his life?"
11."I'm over 70, it's just too late for me."
Over 70? So are 5 of the people in this e-book! Wait until you read
about how a great-grand dad kicks the tails of kids literally 1/3 his
age in the gym, in business AND in his love life! Wouldn't you like
to find out how these 70+ year olds got themselves in fantastic
shape? By the way, Jack Lalanne turned 90 recently and he still works
out two hours a day. Ask Jack if he wishes he gave up at 70 because
it was "too late."
