MEET THE AUTHOR

Stanford Dyson

Stanford Dyson has played sport since he was six: swimming, soccer, basketball, and track and field. A lifetime of training and studying how the body moves taught him two things. Simple usually works best, and nobody ever knows it all, so there is always something new to learn.

For years he has coached young athletes and, more recently, adults who want to get back in shape. He wrote Fitness Over 50 for them: a clear, step-by-step plan that starts from where you are today.
