Fitness After 40: Strength and Energy for Midlife review
A $17.99 midlife fitness ebook that promises the science of ageing while citing none, under an invented doctorate.
Pass
The advice implied by the contents is right: resistance training becomes more important with age, not less, because muscle mass and bone density decline without it, and recovery needs more attention than it did at twenty. That makes this the best-aimed of the seller's three fitness titles. It still promises the science of ageing without a single citation, still shows you no exercise before purchase, and still credits an invented degree. Three of the fitness titles from this seller credit three different doctors with the same invented degree, a PhD in Workout Psychology, with twenty-four, twenty-eight and thirty-two years of experience. Anyone over forty starting from inactive, especially with blood pressure, cholesterol or joint problems, should get checked first.

Strength first, at the right age
Ageing and metabolism, midlife workouts, balancing training types, nutrition and recovery.
Resistance training and recovery genuinely matter more after forty.
Science promised, none cited
The metabolic and ageing claims are asserted without a reference.
Public health bodies publish activity guidelines for this age group free.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Marjorie Adams with a PhD in Workout Psychology and 24 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 437000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
