Summary
It's never too late to change how you think， feel， look--and live。
As we get older， our bodies go through many changes--physical and mental。 Most are out of our control。 But for those that aren't， all we need sometimes is advice about how to make specific， sustainable， and successful modifications that can alter the course of how our lives go from that point forward。
This is where you can benefit from guidance， motivation， and encouragement from Joan MacDonald of Train with Joan。 Just a few years ago， this septuagenarian wasn't happy with how she looked and what she ate。 With help from her daughter， Michelle （a certified strength and conditioning specialist）， Joan developed exercise and diet goals as well as objectives for how to change her mindset--not just how she saw herself physically but how she felt about herself mentally regardless of her physical fitness or her age。
This isn't your typical self-help guide。 Yes， you'll learn about how Joan made her miraculous transformation as well as how Michelle helped her mother on that journey。 But you'll also learn how to apply those goals and principles to your own life， including creating your own meal plans and fitness routines based on the sample plans in this book。
Change is intimidating， but this book will help you learn what you're capable of--and how to enrich yourself no matter at what stage in life you are。 Everything you need to get started--and to stay dedicated to a new path--is inside this book。 With Joan and Michelle by your side， you'll discover how to make changes for today， changes for tomorrow， and changes for the remainder of your life--long may you live。

Very disappointed， I’m glad a bought a Kindle edition first。 I downloaded it this morning on its release date and within a couple of hours returned it。 I was so looking forward to this book and had hoped for a section on specific exercises and routines， but there was none of that。 The basic information on nutrition and exercise is good if you are new to those important topics， but there was absolutely no new information for me。 I suspect the omission of any exercises and workout routines is inte Very disappointed， I’m glad a bought a Kindle edition first。 I downloaded it this morning on its release date and within a couple of hours returned it。 I was so looking forward to this book and had hoped for a section on specific exercises and routines， but there was none of that。 The basic information on nutrition and exercise is good if you are new to those important topics， but there was absolutely no new information for me。 I suspect the omission of any exercises and workout routines is intentional so that people will purchase the app， but I tried the app earlier this year and found it glitchy and tedious to use。 I wanted a workout book， if that’s what you are looking for， this isn’t it。 。。。more

This wasn't the book I expected it to be。 As a woman， who's getting older， I was excited at the thought of a program that focused on the changing needs of the older gal。 Unfortunately， I found nothing new here。 Every section talked about mindfulness （great， but also without the depth needed to make it practical）。 There's a big focus on the lived experience of the author and those profiled in the book， which had me feeling like I was reading / reviewing a coffee table book of someone's really hea This wasn't the book I expected it to be。 As a woman， who's getting older， I was excited at the thought of a program that focused on the changing needs of the older gal。 Unfortunately， I found nothing new here。 Every section talked about mindfulness （great， but also without the depth needed to make it practical）。 There's a big focus on the lived experience of the author and those profiled in the book， which had me feeling like I was reading / reviewing a coffee table book of someone's really healthy， older mom， doing all sorts of active things。 It just didn't speak to me， especially the section about nutrition。 What I thought I was getting was a program tailored to an older woman - fitness plans， ways to deal with the inner grumbles， tactics to help with aging and changing hormones， solid dietary advice specifically geared to the older woman。 But， what I found was the same old suggestions， based on data compiled more than 100 years ago， on young men。 So… ectomorphs eat this way， endo's this way， here's a new word called 'macros'， and you'd better just grin and bear it if you're not feeling like exercise today， because it's good for you。 I gave it three stars because the layout's beautiful， the photos unique to the topic， and it's a decent read， if predictable。 There's nothing inherently 'bad' about the book， but I don't feel it serves the market it's trying to connect with。 。。。more

As someone with a lifelong commitment to exercise and fitness， it was hard for me to adapt to my new reality when I was diagnosed with a serious disease a few years back。 Uncurable is a hard word to accept， but fortunately my “affliction” is treatable， so after having treatment， I was kind of a mess and in need of help and a place to exercise。 Coincidentally， between my illness and the pandemic， I was suddenly gymless！ Lucky me， I received a copy of Flex Your Age by Joan Macdonald who， along wit As someone with a lifelong commitment to exercise and fitness， it was hard for me to adapt to my new reality when I was diagnosed with a serious disease a few years back。 Uncurable is a hard word to accept， but fortunately my “affliction” is treatable， so after having treatment， I was kind of a mess and in need of help and a place to exercise。 Coincidentally， between my illness and the pandemic， I was suddenly gymless！ Lucky me， I received a copy of Flex Your Age by Joan Macdonald who， along with her daughter Michelle （a certified strength and conditioning specialist）， wrote this book to help others achieve the good health the authors enjoy。 Bottom line: Joan made a miraculous transformation （helped by Michelle）。 The book includes motivation techniques， fitness and nutrition fundamentals， and tips on how to “find and contribute to a community of support。”It’s filled with good solid advice Four stars。 Just in time for New Years！ Thanks to DK Alpha and NetGalley for providing a copy in exchange for this honest review。 。。。more
