Anyone familiar with Mark Mcilyar’s “Fit after 50” program?

I’ve run across this e-book program specified for us older guys. It makes a lot of claims about its customized exercises for the older male and testoreone levels ,etc. Just wondering if anyone here has any insight to his credibility and the claims he makes in his book and effectiveness of the program. TIA.

I don't know about the "Fit after 50" program but I have been doing MovNat for a year and have lost 30 pounds. I love it and never gets boring.

there is nothing special about being over 50. You need to eat right, with lots of protein and lots of healthy fat to maximize hormones and you need to lift in a progressive manner.
no matter if you are 12 or 80, a proper warm up should be performed that really focuses on building strong and resiliant knees, hips and shoulders.
other than that, everything should be the same as far as movement pattern wise. The only real difference is like most 12 year olds, you will need to regress many movements, take it slow and build a base.

I respect the information that you bring to this board but, believe it or not, a lot of people do not like lifting. There are many different roads to take to getting in and staying in shape. As long as you find something that works for you just keep moving!

I don't like going to work either sometimes but I need money.
Lifting is bar none, no debate, the best way to guarantee long term health. Muscle mass is extremely important as we age. You don't have to like it, but you need to do it and it takes 90 minutes a week to do.

It absolutely is. Losing skelatal muscle mass as we age leads to tons of health problems. Being able to stand up from a seated position or pick yourself up off the ground is the most fundamental aspect of health, and progressively overloading those movement patterns is by far the most efficient way to build that kind of strength.
That doesn't mean deadlifting 400lbs or doing bench press necessarily.

Resistance training, can be lifting weights, progressive calisthenics, bands etc, is 1000% the best way to guarantee long term health and

At this point it's not debatable at all. There are like a millions studies and meta analysis that show this and the science is really clear and pretty much everyone agrees
You don't have to lift but the two things show to slow aging both mentally and physically are resistance training and sprints over 80% i.e. true 100% sprints like you are running thw 40 yard dash at the combine.
If you dont want to lift, get a set of gymnastics rings and get progressively stronger on them.
But Mingo is right and I highly highly suggest you go read the barbell prescription by Andy baker. He is the foremost authority on training the aging population. If you live near Houston, go see him at kingwood strength.

If you add all if this then I agree.

well lifting weights is the best form of resistance training as it is by far the easist to progress easiest to track, allows most variety.
when mingo says weight lifting, he means progressive resistance training, its just weight lifting is the most popular.
most people who do any form of resistance training do not do so in a progressive manner. thats why we recommend it. also heavy external weights has been shown to increase bone strength which tends to be a problem in the aging population.Also it is by far the easiest way to build the back side of the body which is extremely imporant as we age.

Body weight can be done in a progressive manor and is so much more diverse than "lifting". I never get bored with the system I practice. To each their own but I think we agree. We just are taking different paths

trust me i understand this and how to use leverages to progress and regress, its still not even close to being as easy to do so and track

how? abd why not combine the 2 like many of us do

honestly if you are looking to really take it to the next level expecially when it comes to flexibility the gymnastics body system is pretty well laid out. stupid hard to progress though.
overcoming gravity is another great resource.
