Don’t Just Survive Your Golden Years—Conquer Them.

Are you worried that "growing old" means slowing down, sitting down, and eventually never getting back up?

You aren’t alone. We have all seen the difference between Longevity (simply keeping the heart beating, perhaps hooked to machines) and Healthspan (remaining alert, active, and independent). The decline of aging feels inevitable—we lose muscle, we lose breath, and we lose our spark.

But what if you could reverse the slide?

In Reclaim Your Prime v2, author Charles Miske, "casually fit" mountaineer and endurance enthusiast, dismantles the myth that seniors should "take it easy." Instead, he presents a science-backed, accessible roadmap to building a body that is durable, resilient, and ready for adventure.

This isn't a program for Olympians. It’s a guide for the rest of us.

If you are confused by fitness influencers and intimidated by complex science, this book cuts through the noise. It focuses on the specific needs of those in their 50s, 60s, and beyond, offering a practical "Minimum Effective Dose" strategy to get you fit without burning you out.

Inside, you will discover:
• The Power of Zone 2: Why "conversational cardio" is the foundation of a massive aerobic engine, helping you burn fat and build endurance without the fatigue.
• The VO2 Max Secret: Why your "maximum oxygen uptake" is the single best predictor of how long you will live—and the exact "smart math" protocols to boost it safely, even if you’ve never done an interval in your life.
• Essential Strength Training: The missing link for aging well. Learn the "money moves" (Squat, Push, Pull, Hinge) that build the bone density and stability required to stay independent and injury-free.*
• Data-Driven Training: How to use modern apps and wearables to find your personal training zones, so you stop guessing and start progressing.
• The 90/10 Rule: How to balance easy days with hard days so you can recover faster and enjoy your life outside of training.

Stop building a wide foundation with no roof.

Whether your bucket list involves running an ultra-marathon, cycling around a beautiful lake, or simply having the energy to chase your grandkids through the park, you need a plan. You need to build the engine (VO2 Max), the fuel tank (Zone 2), and the chassis (Strength) to carry you there.

It’s never too late to take the reins.

Don’t let age dictate your limits. Join the journey to become fit, vigorous, and hard to kill. Scroll up and start making strategic gains today.

*Note: This Second Edition includes a brand-new section on integrating Strength Training specifically for the older adult.
