Product Description

'Bench Press Your Body Weight at Age 65' is about how anyone, but particularly those approaching retirement, can reap the incredible benefits of strength training, and roll back their biological age by 20 years. The book details how William Faro stumbled across the benefits of strength training at age 50, uncovering scientific studies indicating a complete slowdown in the ageing process, as well as a host of other benefits ranging from lower blood pressure to reduced body fat, from lower cholesterol to improved insulin sensitivity. 'Bench Press Your Body Weight at Age 65', describes a practical fountain of youth, rolling back the years by altering one's biological age, as scientifically measured by a standard set of biomarkers of ageing, every single one of which is improved through strength training. Part 1 (Chapters 1-18) covers the benefits of strength training with a short chapter devoted to each one. The eighteen benefits can reverse biological age by up to 20 years ensuring total mobility, and thus independence and dignity, right into advanced old age. Part 2 (Chapters 19-30) covers every aspect of exactly how to build strength through resistance training. It also covers the appalling consequences of reducing muscle mass (sarcopenia) and bone density in old age - both of which are reversed by strength training.
