The Blueprint to an Effective and Sustainable Workout Program!!!

There is a lot of noise in the fitness industry about what works best with regard to weight loss, muscle building, and transformation. There are so many different workout programs, cleanses, and information that it can be challenging to decipher between what actually works long term and what doesn’t 

With that said, I wanted to have a conversation with someone that is one of the most knowledgable, respected, and successful experts in this space. Today’s guest is Mike Matthews. Mike is the best selling author of books like “Bigger Leaner Stronger” and "Thinner Leaner Stronger." He is also the host of the "Muscle for Life Podcast" and founder of the #1 best-selling all-natural sports supplement brand, Legion athletics.

More importantly, Mike is a “go to” for all things muscle building, fat loss, and body transformation having helped tens of thousands of people change their lives via health and fitness. Check out his IG page for some of these before and after photos. It’s quite inspirational. Believe it or not, most of his clientele is the normal everyday person who is “unfit” and looking to become “fit” that doesn’t have hours upon hours to spend at the gym everyday. So if you are that person who is struggling to get started, keep “starting and stopping,” have hit a plateau, or just looking to up your fitness game then this episode is for you.

This episode is going to provide you the blueprint for a workout program that is effective, sustainable and help you create the ultimate health transformation. 

We chat about the staples that are necessary for a successful fitness program that includes what to eat, what to do in the gym and the importance of protein. Mike and I discuss other things like how to not fall into the trap of making your body an idol or your identity, how to break through a plateau and how much time is REALLY necessary to spend in the gym to get results and how to maximize it.
