Fitness Over 50: A Rational Approach to Aging Gracefully | Steve McKinney

What if everything you’ve been told about working out after 50 is actually making things worse?

On this week’s Better Health Bookshelf, I’m featuring the book The Gospel of Fitness: A Rational Approach to Aging Gracefully.

My guest is Steve McKinney, a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and pastor. With over 30 years in the fitness world and a deep passion for helping people age well, Steve has created a refreshingly rational approach to fitness over 50.

In this episode, Steve breaks down the myth that you need long, punishing workouts to stay in shape. His 3-W System, weight training, walking, and watching your diet, is designed specifically for aging bodies.

It’s safe, efficient, and focused on building strength, not breaking you down.

Whether you're looking to regain energy, stop joint pain, or start gaining muscle after 50, you’ll want to hear Steve’s practical, science-backed advice.

If you’re skeptical of trendy over 50 workouts that overpromise and underdeliver, this episode is your permission slip to train smarter, not harder, and finally take control of how you age.
