Book Introduction
A Hard-Working Man's 30 Hard-Working Life Lessons
“If you hang on until the end, your life will change!”
*** QR code included for YouTube video on 8 essential exercises for people in their 50s
*** Korea's only Ido Portal Method Movement expert
If you're hesitating because you're worried that "it's too hard to start exercising," you're lucky to have come across this book before it's too late.
If you want to exercise but just lie around, you'll get a scolding, and if you don't have the will to exercise, you'll get some harsh advice.
Also, the excuse that you don't have time to exercise won't work.
The new book, "Things You Need to Hold on to as You Get Older," is a book filled with the wisdom a man in his 50s has gained through 10 years of "intense" exercise.
Many people ask author Kim Hee-jae, who boasts abilities far superior to those of a healthy 20-year-old, how he can perform such difficult movements and build such a great body.
The author's answer is simple.
“There is no secret to being healthy.
Consistency is key.
When you first start exercising, everything feels unfamiliar and difficult.
“The beginning is always difficult, but that beginning makes you strong.” The author emphasizes that we must be good at ‘letting go,’ ‘holding on,’ and ‘keeping our center’ as we go through life, and always encourages new attempts by saying, “Just as you build your physical muscles through exercise, build your mental muscles through challenges.”
This is a must-read for anyone in their 20s or 30s who wants to be healthy and free from distracting thoughts, as well as those who have lost their motivation and physical activity after turning 40 or those who have become lazy after turning 50.

Into the book
We do not live a life where tomorrow is guaranteed.
That is why our age can never be a limit.
This moment is the most precious.
You can start from this moment.
Our every day is new and always young.
Let's start with small changes to make our lives richer and healthier.
--- p.23, from “Letting Go of the Past”
Now I know.
What it means to truly age gracefully.
It is about not regretting past choices and fully accepting the present me.
And we must live more meaningfully in the short time that remains, which we do not know how long it will be.
Not fearing aging, but rather embracing the process with open arms.
Looking at your wrinkled face in the mirror and smiling.
Isn't that what a wonderful old age looks like?
I now know that every wrinkle on my face tells the story of my life.
--- p.108, from “Letting Go of Revenge”
Sometimes, memories of the past suddenly come flooding back and weigh heavily on my heart, and other times, I can't sleep because I'm anxious about the future.
But every time that happens, I take a deep breath and exhale, focusing on the present.
What's past is past, and what's not coming has not yet come.
This very moment is the only time I have control over.
--- p.110, from “Letting Go of Revenge”
People often set their own limits, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
Even when you can't see ahead, you must keep walking forward silently.
And if you walk with all your might, the path will clearly appear.
Even now, I continue to quietly move forward without stopping to take on new challenges.
Let's not be impatient looking into the distant future, but rather faithfully do what we can do now.
--- p.172, from “Catching the Present”
I realized how important it is to find the balance between strength and softness.
I no longer exercise just to get stronger.
Know how to maintain muscle recovery and relaxation while exercising at high intensity.
I started taking time for sufficient rest and recovery routines.
Additionally, we try to prevent injuries by doing proper warm-up and cool-down exercises before and after exercise.
That is why our age can never be a limit.
This moment is the most precious.

Publisher's Review
“The power to sustain oneself doesn’t come overnight.”
How Exercise Helps 50-Somethings Age Proudly
A self-improvement essay by Kim Hee-jae, Korea's only Ido Portal Method movement instructor and influencer. Kim Hee-jae, who officially introduced the Ido Portal method, the movement mentor of UFC fighter McGregor, to Korea, compiles his social media posts and shares his life philosophy.
◆ “Exercise never betrays you”
A fun philosophy gained from 10 years of 5-hour-a-day dedication
Videos and articles posted on social media with the theme of 'How people in their 50s live' are receiving a lot of positive responses from people.
When I see messages with titles like “The older you get, the more you have to let go”, “The older you get, the more you have to keep your balance”, “If you want to age gracefully, build up your lower body strength”, “We all live with a limited lifespan”, “I didn’t know this until I was in my 50s”, and “It is your destiny to be grateful for your body and protect it”, I feel a strong motivation to ‘challenge anything’ regardless of my age.
The attractive body and powerful exercise videos of the author, a man in his 50s, who puts to shame readers who make excuses like, "I'm in my 40s, I'm in my 50s," perfectly match his "hard-hitting, direct words" and draw in readers.
◆ “Why did you quit your job as an executive at a successful company to exercise?”
How to Stay Stable in Life: A Movement Expert's Guide
The author, who worked as a senior executive in a corner office with a promising outlook at a German logistics company, was shocked one day by the death of a close friend and quit the company to start a new life.
The author, who is constantly searching for ways to live healthy and age healthily, has been investing 5-6 hours a day, 6 days a week, in exercise for 10 years since retiring from his job in his mid-40s.
“For those who take on challenges, age is not a problem, but a gift.
“What a wonderful gift it is that challenges increase with age.” The author emphasizes that exercise makes the body healthy, which helps us avoid the habit of blaming our age, and a healthy body allows us to continue to take on new challenges.
That means you can keep your life bright and vivid.
"You say it's time to rest? Time isn't given to you to rest, it's given to you to invest.
10 minutes a day is enough.
Let's hang out every day." Let's start exercising for at least 10 minutes a day with the author through this book.
“Using the body is using the mind.
“The more you use your body and mind, the stronger they become.” As you read the book, you will find yourself becoming healthier.
