About this listen

A “must-read” (Mark Divine, New York Times bestselling author) fitness book for men and women over forty from bestselling author and trainer Michael Matthews.

Is this a workout book that can make you look and feel like you’re twenty again in thirty days flat? Is it a fitness book full of diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for gaining lean muscle and melting belly fat faster than a sneeze in a cyclone? Absolutely not.

But is it an exercise and nutrition book that’ll guide you on how to eat and exercise to lose pounds of fat and gain eye-catching amounts of muscle definition and strength? YES.

Muscle building and fat loss after forty aren’t nearly as complicated as you’ve been led to believe, and Muscle for Life is the go-to, comprehensive guide for anyone looking to permanently achieve and maintain their best body. Backed by over three hundred peer-reviewed scientific studies that support the Muscle for Life system of eating and exercising, this book offers a realistic and accessible starting point.

You can get a fit, lean, and strong body no matter your age or circumstances, and you can do it without following a bland diet and without living in the gym doing exhausting workouts you hate. Just pick up this comprehensive guide from “one of the most informed, intelligent and experienced fitness gurus on the face of the planet” (Ben Greenfield, New York Times bestselling author) and discover how you can finally be at your best for life.

The perfect length

The author does a nice job covering nutrition, weight management, strength training, and supplements in one reasonable length book. So many books add volume via fluff, but this one is perfect to keep the pace of information high. Some sections are too complicated for the audio format - examples are supplement criteria and weight training plans. author includes a pdf with this info, but I enjoyed the approach enough that I'll be buying the full book to use as a reference.

Excellent resource for beginners

This is a great resource for anyone who is new to the fitness space, and or resistance training as a whole. It is also a great resource for people who are looking to do a transformation, and cannot afford the high prices that one on one coaching costs these days.

Powerful

I started with Mike's Bigger Leaner Stronger almost 4 years ago now. The science hasn't changed much, so consistency and persistence have been my best friends. And that was the start of my Muscle for Life! I'm about 20 lbs heavier, and that is solid muscle. I'm more conscious of what I eat, which has always been the biggest obstacle to having the body I want. And I'm healthier and stronger than I've ever been at 48 years old! The program and the logic in this book (and BLS) was transformative for me and continues to be. i've tried other programs but none have been as successful as this one. This is a reasonable approach to building a lifestyle that prioritizes health and fitness. And I'll use the knowledge found her for the rest of my life! Thanks Mike!

Awesome book but I miss Mike.

This was a great recap for anyone who’s read/listen to BLS or TLS. My only problem is although the narrator is probably a really nice person (lol) and has a great voice, I love listening to Mike Matthews read his own books.
