Four secrets to looking and feeling younger than ever. Becoming Ageless presents a three-month, detailed diet and exercise plan to create a leaner, more muscular and happier you.

Developed by business mogul and fitness buff Strauss Zelnick--founder of the private equity firm Zelnick Media Capital and president and CEO of Take-Two Interactive, the company behind blockbuster video games such as Grand Theft Auto and NBA2K-- the strategies contained in Becoming Ageless are the same tactics that allowed Zelnick to evolve from a skinny, out-of-shape business executive (a workaholic wunderkind who headed the film studio 20th Century Fox in his early 30s) to one of the world's fittest and most physically active executives who reached his best-ever shape in his late 50s! "If you believe my fitness buddies," Zelnick writes, "I have a body that's aging in reverse...And Becoming Ageless is filled with the amazing tips and unique principles you'd find if you trained with me."

How I Look 15 Years Younger—And How You Can, Too
By Strauss Zelnick, author, Becoming Ageless

Oprah calls it an “Aha! moment.” For Ellen, it’s “Live your truth!” And Joel Osteen dubs it your “Second Chance.” Me, I had my own “Aha! Moment”—my reality check. It came a few short years ago when my wonderful wife, doing what all great spouses, friends, and colleagues should do, told me the truth. “Honey,” she said, “you don’t look so good.”

What she meant was, I looked old. And soft. And tired.

This hit me like a ton of bricks because I was, by most definitions, successful. I had run a movie studio, Twentieth Century Fox, by age 32. I founded my own thriving private equity firm, Zelnick Media Capital. I was (and am) the Chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive, one of the world’s leading interactive entertainment companies. I even worked out regularly and thought I ate OK. But my wife was right—I felt old, and soft and tired. Here I was, not living my best life.

I immediately set off on a path to create—not a diet, not a hardcore fitness regime—but a science-proven plan for turning my life around and living optimally. It’s called Becoming Ageless and now I want to share these secrets with you.

I know it works because I am living, breathing proof. Today, when I walk into a room, people can’t believe I’m 61. They think I’m a decade younger, maybe more. And I believe that my plan will transform you, because it’s easy, effective and will work for everyone.

You’ll boost your metabolism. You’ll enjoy all-day energy. And you’ll feel younger for life. All you have to do is follow the four secrets in the book.

Ageless Secret #1 You’ll Indulge in Delicious Foods
It’s true: You can eat to be younger. Most people associate eating for health or weight loss with a “diet”—I want you to break that association. Diets fail. Instead, focus on what I call “Forever Fuel.” It doesn’t mean you can't eat your favorite foods; you’re just getting the best versions of them. On the Becoming Ageless plan, I enjoyed the following and lost 20+ pounds:

Unlimited Foods—Lean Protein, Salads, and Vegetables—eat as much as you want. I love bison, light tuna, chicken, eggs, grass-fed beef.
Limited Foods—Some fruits and dried fruits, nuts, and cheese—in moderation.
Highly restricted foods—no processed foods, fried foods, or added sugars. Processed foods account for 70% of the calories that Americans take in. They don’t just make you fat; they age you. I want you to commit yourself to eating sensibly.

I packed the book with a ton of easy-to-make recipes that will help you get your best body ever. It’s true—even with my busy schedule, I cook, because they’re that simple. And if you cook just three meals a week, you’ll live a decade longer, studies show.

Ageless Secret #2: You’ll Unlock Your Inner Strength
One of the things I realized was fitness was the foundation for so much of my success in life—it improved my moods, shrunk my belly, got me out with colleagues (which led to promotions for me and them) and you don’t have to run an ultra-marathon or climb Mt. Everest. Just commit and be consistent. Get moving a little every day.

I work out every morning and some evenings, with men and women in their 20s, but you don’t have to as part of this plan. Some moves take just minutes to do. Here’s a few ways to do it right:

Start slow—incorporate regular walks or body weight exercises to feel the burn.
Workout when you’re working—like with a stressball or a hand grip strengthener
The book has a complete exercise plan for building muscle. Use it and you’ll avoid back pain and get injured less.

Ageless Secret #3: You’ll Bulletproof Your Body
You can’t feel younger if you’re sick all the time. I want to turn your body into a disease-fighting machine. That’s why I include:

Preventative measures—a complete checklist of all the tests you need, and when you should have them.
A guide to better sleep, so you can have a more peaceful rest.
I cover mental health too. My favorite tip to boost confidence is to ditch the scale. I prefer to measure success by what you see in the mirror and how you look and feel. If you like what you see, what the scale reads isn’t important. That was a gamechanger for me. Little changes mean big results.

Ageless Secret #4: You’ll Discover a Deeper Connection
People who focus solely on the body and not the mind are shortchanging themselves. For lasting success, I’ve found that it’s essential to construct a support system that will hold you accountable—and cheer you on. Consider texting a friend after every workout, and revel in the virtual high-five; better yet, join a workout class. You’ll strengthen bonds with friends and loved ones and elevate your mood and productivity.

I’ve also found a benefit in embracing my spiritual side. For my quiet reflection, I personally have integrated morning prayer. It’s life-changing, and feeds into personal success on every level. To help you focus, meditate, do yoga, and find a community that supports your new lifestyle.

You see why I had to write this book. By following the pillars in Becoming Ageless, you’ll be happier and healthier; stave off disease; enhance your spiritual connections; and lose fat from where it matters most. That’s something you want at any age. I know it’s worked for me.

And you know who else is happy?

My wife. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Lots of good information in the end it’s up to you to follow or just read and hope. Strauss is a success but has put in the work. Time to start getting up at 5am and eating right

Very easy to read and very easy to understand. Strauss Zelnick has unique knowledge.
He offers excellent advice. Following his advice will take discipline. But no gain without some pain.

Inspiring, informative, incredible!

I’m a guy in my late 20’s. Like countless other fitness-minded guys my age I’ve spent thousands of hours working out, playing sports, and reading about nutrition. I know all the fitness blogs, magazines, YouTube channels, etc. and thought I had it covered – didn’t really think I’d ever buy a health or fitness book on amazon. I bought this book because the author was a guest speaker in a class I took in business school a couple of years ago (because of his professional accomplishments) and that was one of the single best classes I’ve ever attended. Whatever he writes I’ll definitely read - especially if it's about something that interests me as much as health and fitness.

The book surpassed all expectations – it really is inspiring, informative, and incredible. It’s broken into five parts with a very clear logical progression and all the concepts are explained really well – even the more advanced parts. It’s not only about working out and eating healthy, but also about how to perform better outside of the gym - about being healthy in a broader sense. It’s full of useful knowledge presented in a way that makes it easy to apply
and it's really hard to put down once you've started reading.

Whatever you’re looking for and wherever you’re at, I’m certain this book will be useful – I know it was for me. I have a number of loved ones I’d like to keep around for as long as possible and they are definitely getting a copy for Christmas.

You need motivation? Then read this book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2018

Altura ugh I have read articles, this is the first time I read a book about health and fitness, as I have always felt I don’t need the motivation. I love exercising. It’s like a therapy, with the benefit of improving oneself. I chose this book because the picture of the author, a 60 year old man, looks great. And since there is the stigma that at that age you do not look awesome as Mr. Zelnick does, I wanted to discover his secret. What does he exactly? I also needed a motivation to keep up the good work, and make the necessary adjustments that I know deep inside I have to make. I would recommend this book to someone in need of motivation to make a change in his/her habits, either with their diet or because the doctor told them: “You need to get on a treadmill”. It is a great start. I give it a 5-star rating because everything he says is backed by research. It’s the plain cold truth about what you have to do to get in shapeand stay that way. No detours, no skipping in line. And because he’s living proof (his amazingly looking body) of it. I want to look AND feel like that when I’m 60.

Better Lifestyle Instruction Guide Thank you so much for writing this, Mr. Zelnick!

Soon as I saw this was written by a CEO, I knew I had to read the book. As a small business owner I know you don’t waste time and the author didn’t! This is an easy read, gets right to the point & it really delivers! I have share this with my siblings and friends because many of us have fallen into the diet traps… starving ourselves repeatedly, and getting bad results every time! It’s mighty hard to exercise without “fueling up” correctly beforehand.
He provides instructions for 7 days worth of meals. None of the meals involve strange new foods or “rocket science” technology to prepare. He may be a CEO, but, he’s also very practical & down to earth - that’s my kind of lifestyle

Strauss is for Real!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I truly loved "Becoming Ageless" and have already bought multiple copies to give to friends and family members. In short, this book exemplifies the way that Strauss Zelnick lives his life. Whether it is professionally, personally, or in fitness, Strauss loves to help and mentor people. He gets tremendous joy out of sharing his experience for the sole purpose of benefiting others, and he has touched so many lives. With all of his successes, he is one of the most humble people you will ever meet. Strauss is always willing to welcome new faces to his workouts and treat them like they are family. I am so excited to share this book with others and I am incredibly grateful to call Strauss a friend.

Not what I thought it would be. Very disappointing. If you are a senior all he talks about are his heavy duty workouts. His food advice can be found on line.

Good for beginner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

He is an extraordinarily accomplished individual so it’s always interesting reading a bit about his story but there is not much new in here that anyone who is fit and healthy and exercises often would not know already.

BUT if you are a couch potato just starting out there should be a very good place to start however.

One caveat is that he gets up at 6 am every morning six days a week to train, and he trains Ian’s hour in the evenings as well, so there are no shortcuts!
