The Secret to Fitness at Forty (or Any Age)

Six months ago I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the person looking back at me. How had I aged so fast in just a few years? I had gone from bright-eyed and energetic to dull and lethargic. I knew that I needed to make a change and it had to start with my fitness. After gaining about 30 pounds over a two year period, it was time to make a change.

Fast forward six months, I've dropped three waist sizes, lost about 20 pounds of fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle, and look about five years younger than I did just six months ago. My appearance has changed so much that many friends and acquaintances think that I used steroids or some other "secret sauce" to achieve such strikingly awesome results. They seem to think that it is impossible to make such a huge change in such a short period of time this late in life.




This is why I started this blog. Anti-Gravity refers to the ability that you and I have to reverse the aging process and seemingly defy the laws of nature. It is possible to achieve top fitness and look younger at any age!

However, you and I won't get there through get slim quick diets and fasts. The road to fitness isn't sexy. I'll lay out the essentials in a moment, but underlying the basics is simply the two Ds - Discipline and Determination. How bad do you want it?

Here's the "secret sauce" to how I got fit:

• Diet - I rebalanced my diet to consume more superfoods, fewer fats, lower glycemic grains, and lots and lots of protein.
• Supplements - inexpensive all-natural stuff I buy at stores like Trader Joe's and on websites like Vitacost boost my energy and fuel my muscle growth.
• Exercise - running has been the key to my fat loss, sustained increase in energy, and relaxation. Anybody with two functioning legs can run and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

This blog is dedicated to offering my first-hand experiences and thoughts related to the "secret sauce" of anti-gravity fitness. Let's have fun defying gravity.
