DISCOVER HOW ATHLETES OVER 50 LEAD EXTRAORDINARY LIVES What does it
take to continue to participate in athletic activities and
sustained exercise later in life? How does it differ from managing
these activities when you are in your 20's or 30's? Do you wonder
if, or when, you have to give up your physical activities? You will
be intrigued and inspired by the answers to these questions from
Don McGrath's book about 50 interviews of athletic people over 50
years old. True stories from his spectacular interviewees will
inspire you like no others. Many of McGrath's subjects never
imagined that they would be role models for exercise and good
health. Still, by applying a common set of characteristics, they
have broken remarkable mental and physical barriers to succeed.
Peek into the lives of Linda Quirk who ran seven marathons on seven
continents at age 55, and in 2010 plans to run across four of the
world's largest deserts; Sandy Scott, 69, who broke a vertebrae at
age 65 and four years later won a state cycling 20k championship;
or 75-year-old veteran tap dance Gene GeBauer. With U.S. health
concerns at the forefront, the athlete's way of life helps us to
understand how to take responsibility for our well being. Lessons
learned from these interviews can help us avoid doctors' offices,
stave off diseases, and have more joy and contentment. In his final
summary, McGrath examines the behaviors and attitudes necessary for
all of us to have health and satisfaction through an active life.
If you want to know the secrets of those who are still going strong
in athletic activities in their later years, then this is the book
for you. Foreword by Olympic Cycling Gold Medalist Alexi Grewal.
In his new book Feel Younger - Now, author Don McGrath, Ph.D.
shares how he discovered the secret to losing weight, becoming fit,
and improving energy, for people who have tried and failed many
times in the past. He also shares a proven step-by-step solution,
and includes access to training materials and tools that go way
beyond what you expect to get from any book. "From my last book, 50
Athletes Over 50 Teach Us to Live a Strong, Healthy Life, I
observed that the incredibly healthy and fit over-50 athletes I
interviewed did not struggle at all with staying lean, fit, and
healthy," says McGrath. "In working with non-athletes to improve
their fitness, I saw the enormous struggles that they face. Most of
them really want to lose weight and become fit, but almost all have
failed multiple times. From the lessons I learned from both
athletes and non-athletes, I discovered the secret to losing weight
and getting fit." A very unique aspect of Feel Younger - Now , is
that it includes links to resources that compliment the book and
provide valuable tools and training. "Before writing Feel Younger -
Now, I created the 21 Days 7 Habits Training Program, which
provides training and tools for building the 7 habits outlined in
the book. I really feel like this is much more than a book. It is
everything that anyone needs to make the changes in their life that
are required to feel younger now " Reviews: "America has an energy
crisis and it's not the kind you think. It's a personal energy
crisis. The combined effects of sedentary lifestyles and poor diets
have conspired to rob millions of the vitality needed to enjoy life
and achieve success. The solution is Don McGrath's, Feel Younger -
Now , a life transforming guidebook for anyone who is over
stressed, overweight, overtired or undernourished. McGrath's
program is unique because it's built upon the most solid foundation
of all - habits or rituals. In an easy to follow, step-by-step,
process McGrath shows the reader how to build the seven habits that
result is a sustainable change in lifestyle." - Marc Middleton,
Founder and CEO of Growing Bolder Media Group "Feel Younger -Now,
proves that feeling great defies age. Don McGrath gives the reader
