50 Athletes Over 50 This is a great new book written by Don McGrath, PhD, in which he interviews 50 people over the age of 50 who have maintained or developed incredible levels of fitness after the age of 50. I had a chance to preview this book before it came out in March. It is truly inspiring. And, it shows what can be done by people of any age if they put their minds to it. The regular price is $29.95, but it is being offered right now for $24.95. Or you can get it for the Kindle for $9.95.

Their prices are some of the most competitive on the internet, and they often offer free shipping. If I am looking to buy almost anything, I check them out first. This link is only for US and Canadian buyers.
