    About this ebook

    After forty did you notice that the things you did in your twenties and even thirties to stay fit didn't quite seem to work as well?

    The weight gets harder to keep off and your joints are complaining a little more loudly?

    That's because you're a different person than you were back then, both mentally and physically! Mostly that's good, but it can make staying healthy and fit more of a challenge.

    Jordan Vezina has racked up over 25,000 hours training clients of all ages in Silicon Valley, and this book contains his best tips for modifying your training and lifestyle to still get results after forty.

    Don't buy into the hype that things just start falling apart at forty. Things start falling apart because we don't adapt our training as we age. You don't drive the same car you had in high school, you don't eat the same food (hopefully) and you don't think the same way. So, why should your training be the same?

    In this book you will learn:

    • Why good recovery tactics may be the most important thing you're missing in your training.
    • Why tracking your food is so crucial, and why it isn't your fault if you're not good at it right away.
    • Why habit change tools are just as important as a meal plan when it comes to fine tuning nutrition.
    • Optimal exercises to minimize risk of energy while gaining strength.
    • The basics of good nutrition and why it doesn't need to be as confusing as you may think.
    • How to test and optimize your own hormones and why this is the missing link when it comes to staying healthy and fit for most of us over forty.

      Fit After Forty - Jordan Vezina

      1

      Introduction

      Entering your forties is a unique experience. By any logical estimation you have now arrived at middle age. In a way it’s kind of like driving your car into a wall so slowly that you don’t even notice it until you’ve already gone through the windshield.

      Why do I use that analogy? Well, if someone had told me that my life was going to change this much maybe I would have done more to prepare.

      When we’re young we just kind of do whatever. We make up workouts or grab random programs off the internet. We don’t eat that great and we probably also don’t do mobility work. Why? No consequences. When you’re twenty-five everything just kind of works. Or at least it seems like it does. The reality is that we were thriving in spite of what we were doing, not because of it.

      The problem is that no one tells you this. Just like no one taps you on the shoulder when you’re young and says:

      Hey, if you don’t do daily maintenance on your body it’s going to fall apart.

      But I’m here to let you in on a little secret: Just because you hit middle age doesn’t mean everything automatically starts falling apart and you’re now locked into a slow and gradual decline until you reach the grave. It only feels that way because you don’t know how to push back against the ravages of time.

      What if I told you that not only do you not have to slowly decline into old age, but you can actually get better as you get older? Sounds crazy, right? Well, that’s exactly what I’m saying, and I have the hard science and experience to back up that claim.

      I’ve led a pretty physically intense life, starting off in martial arts when I was younger, then as an infantry Marine. We did crazy intense training (looking back on it I don’t know how no one died), but that’s the thing about being young. You can pull off a lot of stuff that maybe you shouldn’t have been doing in the first place.

      After that, I moved to Army infantry. A little more chilled out, but still a lot of physical training. I then moved into executive protection and then into a career as a personal trainer. I did it all; super intense kettlebell workouts and combat conditioning. Hell, I even took up bending nails and straightening out horseshoes for a while.

      Straightening out a St. Croix Forge Ultralite Horseshoe.

      Then Father Time stepped in.

      Not so fast, he said.

      Turns out I was subject to all the same laws of physiology that everyone else is.

      So, in my forties I got a little chubby. Okay, a lot chubby. I was chronically over-trained, and my joints were complaining more loudly. I felt stiff as a board most of the time. I realized that I couldn’t keep doing the stuff I had done in my 20s or even 30s and expecting the same result. As we know, that would be the definition of insanity.

      This realization led to the material you’ll find in this book.

      This is not your average fitness book. We’re going to talk about how to choose exercises that will allow you to build and sustain your fitness in the long term instead of shredding your joints and damaging your metabolism. We’ll cover some basics of nutrition but more importantly the
