Three men in their late forties and fifties mid-stride, doing high knee lifts in bright light

The only
home fitness
plan built for
men over 40.

A desk or a trade, kids at home, a stiff back, a knee with opinions. Second Wind is for US men from 40 to 60 who have put on 15 to 40 pounds since their thirties, carry most of it in the belly, and have tried a gym and quit it at least once. The plan starts from where you are today.

Twenty minutes, at home.

Twelve weeks of 20-minute workouts you do in the room you already have, with the equipment you already own. A two-minute quiz sets it up: age, waist, weight, joints, time per day, equipment and how you eat now.

A coach reads your replies

Tell Second Wind how the week went. A coach reads it and rewrites your plan around your knees, your week and your age, so the plan changes when you do.

Your coach

Reads your replies

Tell it the knee barked. The week changes.

Sample

Member writes: knee sore on the stairs.

Coach rewrites: Thursday's split squats become box sit-to-stands.

Dinner you can cook.

Simple meals sit beside the workouts, built from what the quiz says about how you eat now. Weeknight food, after work, with ingredients from an ordinary shop.
