Old School New Body review
A weights and eating plan aimed at people over 40 who want to lose fat and keep muscle

Is it worth it?
You're somewhere past forty, you saw yourself in a photo, and the person in it looked heavier and more tired than the one in your head. Your clothes sit differently. The classes at the gym feel like they're aimed at people ten years younger. That's the reader this book is talking to, and it talks to them well. The core argument is that gentle stuff (spin, hot yoga, core work) is fine but won't change your shape, and what will is lifting weights properly in short hard sessions a few times a week, eating enough protein, and not fearing fat. That's not fringe. Resistance training plus decent protein is about the most solid advice going for holding onto muscle as you age, and most people over 40 genuinely aren't doing it. The sales page is a different animal. The numbers it throws out (aging six months extra per year, 90% of people over 35 losing muscle) are stated with no source behind them, and "look ten years younger" is the seller's promise, not a measured result. Read that part as advertising and ignore it. What you're actually paying for is a clear, unfussy strength and eating plan written for middle aged bodies, in plain language. Useful if you'll follow it. Useless on the shelf.
Pros
- Based on resistance training, which genuinely works
- Short sessions, a few times a week
- Written for over 40s, not for competitive lifters
- No supplements or equipment beyond weights required
Cons
- Page states big claims about aging with no source given
- Billing is set up as recurring, so it isn't a single payment
- Nothing in it you couldn't assemble free, you're paying for it being in one place
What you get
A digital book you download and read, by Steve and Becky Holman. No app, no coaching, nothing physical in the post. It covers five principles they say run against standard diet advice, a resistance training approach built on short sessions a few times a week rather than long cardio, and how to eat alongside it. Extra reports are commonly bundled with it.
Before you buy
- Find out exactly what the recurring charge is, how often it hits, and how to cancel it
- Check the refund window and how you claim it before you pay
- Make sure you have dumbbells or gym access, because the plan needs weights
Who it suits
Men and women in their 40s to 60s who are willing to lift weights and want one simple plan to follow
