About the Author

Chris Tiley, the author of the Never Too Old to Lift, is a physiotherapist with over 13 years experience in various settings from hospitals, elite sport and private practice. He has developed a good understanding about the type of injuries that you might be concerned about when starting training as an older adult.

“I’m passionate about introducing strength training to over 60's and to those who never thought that they would be able to do it. I love seeing the results that they achieve, seeing their confidence grow and seeing how much it brings back to their everyday lives.”

Objections You Might Have to Starting Strength Training

You might be reading and thinking “I’d love to start feeling stronger but…”

  • I’m too old to get started with strength training.
  • I have arthritis, osteoporosis, ongoing pains, etc. I should probably avoid strength training and do something else.
  • Strength training is dangerous and I’ll end up with an injury.
  • I don’t want to step foot in a gym.

These are common fears and the exact reason that Chris wrote this book.

  • Every exercise can be regressed or adapted for your ability level or around any pains you have. These exercises can be slowly progressed over time.
  • The stronger muscles that you will be building will make you more robust and resilient, actually reducing your risks of future injuries. Increased strength can also help reduce the symptoms of existing injuries.
  • You do not need to go into a gym to start strength training. All exercises can be performed at home with just a few bits of equipment.

Bonuses

Along with the book you will also receive a downloadable version of the extended goal planner and workout template which will help you to create and document your workouts for the full 12 weeks.

The content within the book will guide you through completing the planner. This can be either filled out and saved on your computer or can be printed and done with pen and paper.
