Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #527: Marc Perry’s Favorite Time-Proven Fitness Tips for 40+-Year-Olds


Listen Later

“I don’t have time to workout.”

“Eating properly is too hard.”

“I’ve tried it all before. Fitness just doesn’t work for me.”

I get hundreds of emails every day and often hear stuff like that, and especially from folks in their mid-30s and 40s.

Whether they’ve fallen off the wagon and want to get in shape again, or have never really tried to achieve any serious fitness goals, these people are frustrated. And I understand.

Building muscle and losing fat isn’t easy. Creating a sustainable lifestyle that allows you to stay consistent over the long-haul is even harder. That’s especially true when you have a busy professional career and a spouse and family to attend to, and even more so if you also need to travel frequently.

That’s why I invited Marc Perry back on the podcast. In case you’re not familiar with Marc, he's the creator of BuiltLean.com and specializes in helping men in their mid-30s and beyond create systems and habits that allow them to reach their fitness goals faster and enjoy themselves along the way.

In this episode, we discuss . . .

- The different stages of getting fit as you get older
- Unique challenges of getting in shape especially with hectic work and home lives
- Where to start if you’re out of shape
- The benefits of crawling
- The importance of accountability
- And much more . . .

So if you’re 35 or older and want some actionable fitness advice that goes beyond “tough love,” give this podcast a listen!
