The companion journal to Mike Matthews’s acclaimed fitness bible Muscle for Life—“a must-read for anyone at any age who wants to lose fat, build muscle, and get strong…for life” (Mark Divine, New York Times bestselling author).

In the “meticulously researched, clearly written, and utterly practical” (Strauss Zelnick, author of Becoming Ageless) Muscle for Life, fitness guru Mike Matthews presented the tools and science to achieve and maintain your best possible body. Muscle for Life was published as the definitive fitness guide for men and women over forty who want to build muscle, lose fat, and get healthy without having to follow fad diets or tedious workout routines. Now in the accessible and guided companion fitness journal, Mike distills the finer points of Muscle for Life into an easily digestible guided journal to help you maximise your workouts, track your progress, and make greater gains.

This guided journal includes:

  • Tips for maximising the impact of each workout
  • Tools to track improvements in your performance and body composition
  • Weekly meal plans and space to meal prep
  • Detailed recordkeeping for sets, reps, and personal records

And more!

This fitness journal takes you by the hand and makes working out simple so you can stop puzzling over workout splits, exercise regimens, rep ranges, and the rest of it. Instead, with this journal, Matthews will coach you week by week through the entire program and show you how to get fitter, leaner, and stronger faster than you ever thought possible.

Whether you want to lower your cholesterol levels, reduce your risk of heart disease, eliminate aches and pains, or have the best body of your life, Mike’s advice offers actionable takeaways for everyone and every body.
