Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews - You Can't Screw This Fitness Thing Up

Starting point is 00:00:00 Have you ever garbaged down enough food to trank a girthy buffalo and then fretted that you've ruined your diet? Have you ever skipped a workout or two or five because of injury, travel, or reasons best known to the dread Lord Cthulhu and then despaired that you have completely derailed your progress? Have you ever wanted to pack it in because despite your best efforts in the kitchen and gym, you felt like you're trying to swim upstream in a river of jello? Of course you have. We all have. And here's the thing. None of that actually matters because you can make every mistake imaginable without screwing this fitness thing up. That's right. You can blow past your calories time and again without blowing it. You can miss scores of workouts without wrecking it. You can stray

Starting point is 00:00:51 through the sunless streets of slumptown without spoiling it. In short, you can fail over and over in fitness and still succeed. How? The only way to really lose at this game is to strike your flag, is to give up. That is the big secret. No matter how many times you tumble off the wagon, so long as you clamber back onto it and clatter onward, you can't mess this up. Because fitness is not a contest with winners and losers. There are no deadlines. There are no duels. There are no distinctions or demerits. Fitness is like love, laughter, and learning. It is a wellspring of health and happiness to pursue purely for its own sake. Fitness is not fleeting. Fitness is forever.

If you like what I'm doing here on the podcast and elsewhere, then you will probably like my award-winning fitness books for men and women of all ages and abilities, which have sold over 2 million copies, have received over 15,000 four and five star reviews on Amazon, and which have helped tens of thousands of people build their best body ever. Now, a caveat, my books and programs cannot give you a lean and toned Hollywood body in 30 days, and they are not full of dubious diet and exercise hacks and shortcuts for gaining lean muscle and melting belly fat faster than a sneeze in a cyclone, but they will show you exactly how to eat and exercise to lose up to 35 pounds of fat or more if you need to lose more or want to

Starting point is 00:02:40 lose more and gain eye-catching amounts of muscle definition and strength. And even better, you will learn how to do those things without having to live in the gym, give up all of the foods or drinks that you love or do long grueling workouts that you hate. And with my books and programs, you will do that. You will transform your physique faster than you probably think is possible, or I will give you your money back. If you are unsatisfied with any of my books or programs, the results, anything, for whatever reason, just let me know and you will get a full refund on the spot. Now, I do have several books and programs including bigger, leaner, stronger, thinner, leaner, stronger, and muscle for life. And to help you understand which one is right for you,

Starting point is 00:03:30 it's pretty simple. If you are a guy aged 18 to let's say 40 to 45, bigger, leaner, stronger is the book and program for you. If you are a gal, same age range, thinner, leaner, stronger is going to be for you. And if you are a guy or gal, 40 to maybe 45 plus muscle for life is for you. Well, I hope you liked this episode.
