What Readers Have Said

Praise for Fitness After 40

"As the years roll forward, we must not only stay fit but be smarter in how we stay fit....No matter what you've done previously, you can improve the chance for longevity and quality of life by getting physically active. You can sit down and read Fitness After 40 and then get up and get moving."

Nolan Ryan
From the Foreward
"As a busy executive and avid ultra-marathoner, injury was the last thing I wanted to slow me down. Like many masters athletes, however, I found myself looking injury in the eye. When I first met Dr. Wright, I learned that she does not believe arriving at an arbitrary age requires us to simply accept injury or slow down. Her "can do" approach inspired me to continue being competitive and the best I can be. In Fitness After 40, she gives great incentive and practical methods for setting and achieving fitness goals while minimizing injury...whether, for the first time in years, you are just jumping onto the trail or maximizing your competitive edge."
Roger Oxendale
CEO, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC; and Ultramarathoner
"As I approached age 50, I was overweight, had high blood pressure, and had not exercised in years. I decided it was time to invest in myself, and I worked hard following Dr. Wright's program for beginner exercisers. In the last six months, I have lost 40 pounds, I am more energetic and fit than I have ever been, and, best of all I am off high blood pressure medications for the first time in 10 years. Dr. Wright has a passion for getting us fit, and 50 is going to be a great year."

"Dr. Wright not only has a high IQ but also a high EQ, or emotional quotient. She understands people. Using her expertise as an Orthopaedic Surgeon, researcher and masters athlete, she guides and encourages readers to live their best lives now. Fitness After 40 is a must-read for everyone wanting to take control of their bodies through fitness."

"In Fitness After 40, Vonda Wright successfully shows readers how to take charge of their bodies in a healthy and sensible way....[she] shows us we can fight fate by incorporating more regular, sustainable exercise and physical activity into our lives. She also explains how to eat in a way that provides us with key nutrients and adequate amounts of energy (calories) not only to support our workouts and help strengthen our bodies, but keep our minds working optimally. Vonda's book helps readers not only look better on the outside, but feel better on the inside."
