How My Mom Used Thinner Leaner Stronger to Lose 11 Pounds & Double Her Strength Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

    • Fitness

We’re fast-approaching Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, which for many of us, means spending time with family.

Well, I don’t trust 2020 the slightest bit, so I’m going to beat it to the punch and spend some time with my mom before it’s expected. (It’s never a bad idea to keep father time on his toes and rattle expectations in such an unpredictable year).

Jokes aside, on this episode I’m indeed chatting with my own mother, Laura Matthews, and discussing how her fitness has changed since following my programs.

Before Thinner Leaner Stronger, she was athletic and doing ballet, but she wasn’t entirely happy with her physique. After reading my book and following the program, she’s lost fat while gaining muscle and is now in the best shape of her life at the age of 61.

In this interview, we talk about her story and the important lessons she’s learned along the way, including what she was doing exercise-wise before reading TLS, how understanding and changing her diet lead to big changes, how she doubled her strength while losing body fat in her first six months, the importance of regular deloads, and more.

So if you’re looking for a jolt of inspiration and like motivational stories, I highly recommend you listen to this episode.



9:09 - What were your numbers before and after you read my book?

20:21 - What were some of the diet and exercise obstacles that you had to overcome?

25:21 - Did you notice any positive or negative effects from flipping the carbs and the fat?

28:05 - Did you have to make any adjustments during cutting?
