Society expects you to get weaker with age. This book expects you to get stronger out of spite.

Let's be honest: most fitness advice for women over 50 basically amounts to "Don't fall and break a hip, dear." As if the moment we hit menopause, we should trade our dumbbells for knitting needles and accept our new role as fragile decorative objects.

Louise Harper calls BS on all of that.

In Fitness Over 50 for Women: Building Muscle After Menopause, Harper delivers the no-nonsense truth: the strongest person in the room isn't the 25-year-old gym bro taking selfies—it's the 65-year-old woman deadlifting while wearing a shirt that reads "I've survived everything life has thrown at me, including menopause. What's your superpower?"

This gloriously myth-busting guide reveals:

• Why those adorable little "senior fitness" classes are the exercise equivalent of being patted on the head and told to go play in the corner

• How to build impressive muscle when your knees make sounds like a haunted house every time you squat

• The exact amount of protein needed to maintain muscle after 50 (spoiler alert: it's more than a yogurt cup and your sad side salad)

• Why there's no bigger badass in any gym than a woman of "a certain age" who's crushing it while the youngsters check their Instagram between sets

• How to turn "I'll break a hip" fear into "I could crack walnuts with my glutes" confidence

With equal parts science, sarcasm, and actionable advice, Harper's approach works for real women with real lives (and real knee replacements).
