Despite the fact that Fitness for Old Farts will keep you in stitches, it covers a serious subject. After the death of yet another friend in his 50s due to heart failure resulting from lack of condition and too much weight, Tim Plewman and a group of his friends formed a 'Fellowship of old farts' to ensure that the same doesn't happen to them. They voted Tim the leader and set him the task of getting fit and losing weight and helping them to do the same. Fitness for Old Farts is the outcome and proof that the programme they followed really does work. Well-known actor Tim Plewman engages his readers right from the start with his inimitable brand of humour and empathy, yet provides practical and honest help to men over the age of 50 to rediscover good health and a respectable physique, while still enjoying their meal times. Using himself and his friends as role models on what can be achieved with the correct, progressive gym exercise programmes, as well as healthy food choices, Tim goes right to the heart of the matter as he understands the problems and motivations relevant to 'old farts' and how to shift their preconceptions and fears.
And at the end of it all he provides a selection of tasty and simple-to-prepare dishes.

Tim Plewman has a diverse and distinguished career as an actor, dancer, humorist, director, writer and producer. He and his wife, Cathy, run a highly successful production company, Plewman Productions, which has produced 18 theatre and over 160 corporate theatre shows and videos. Tim is a proficient voice-over artiste and has taken leading roles in 6 TV series. He is perhaps best known for his one-man show, Defending the Caveman, which won him the Vita Award for Best Comedy Actor in 1998. Tim finally decided to close the show after nine years and 1 544 sold-out performances.
