Ageless Intensity offers strategies to promote healthy aging based on the latest exercise science, including the application of high-intensity workouts. -Martin Gibala, PhD, Professor at McMaster University and Author of The One-Minute Workout: Science Shows a Way to Get Fit That's Smarter, Faster, Shorter I spent my working life as a professor dedicated to understanding back pain. After 32 years of probing pain mechanisms and building athletic performance and resilience, I found I had become a 60-year-old person losing resilience because of the sitting habits of modern life. I was unhappy about losing my strength and feeling my abilities decline. But such weakening can be reversed, as Ageless Intensity explains. In this book, Pete McCall has synthesized the science on aging well, explaining how to implement the science to enhance your resilience. He explains the reality of the finite capacity allowed by biology but then shows you how to use that capacity wisely. He covers the science of training adaptations, explaining why some body systems adapt quickly and others more slowly. Use this book to become more robust and resilient. Employ the wisdom to live well and feel FABULOUS. -Stuart McGill, Author of Back Mechanic and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the University of Waterloo
