Start Deadlifting Your Doubts

Remember when fitness meant Jane Fonda in a leotard? Turns out we've been doing it wrong for 40 years. This book shows why your fear of "getting bulky" is like worrying about accidentally becoming a millionaire—while your muscle mass disappears faster than your reading glasses.

What Your Hot Flashes Didn't Tell You:

Those pink 3-pound dumbbells gathering dust in your closet? They're not even heavy enough to be paperweights. Meanwhile, science proves women who actually lift weights reduce their risk of dying from ANY cause by 24%. (Yes, more than men. We're better at this too.)

Inside You'll Discover:

✓ Why the 1200-calorie diet is basically voluntary starvation with a marketing budget

✓ How to turn your post-menopausal muscles into an internal pharmacy (no copay required!)

✓ The truth about "toning"—spoiler: it's a made-up word to keep women weak

✓ Why you need MORE food to weigh less of the stuff that matters (hint: fat)

✓ How women in their 80s are out-lifting women in their 40s who started too late

Perfect For You If:

• Your idea of strength training is carrying all the grocery bags in one trip (and regretting it)
• You've been doing the same step aerobics routine since the Clinton administration
• Opening jars has become a team sport
• You're tired of doctors suggesting pills for problems that iron could solve
• You'd rather be the grandmother who gives piggyback rides than receives sympathy cards

Real Science, Real Results, Really Funny:

No made-up testimonials or stock photos of silver-haired models pretending to exercise. Just research-backed truth bombs about building strength after 60, delivered with enough humor to make you snort-laugh your protein shake.

Warning: Side effects include accidentally becoming the strongest woman at book club, needing new jeans (in a good way), and making your doctor suspicious about why your health markers improved without medication.

Your muscles are waiting for permission to grow. This book is your permission slip.

Because "aging gracefully" is just another way of saying "shrinking politely."
