Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews
Health & Fitness:Fitness
Can you be both underweight and skinny fat? How do you fix it? If you’ve just had a baby, can you still workout? Should you make up missed workouts on rest days? Is it ok for your back to bend during deadlifts? Are Nordic curls worth doing? All of that and more in this Q&A podcast.
Over on Instagram, I’ve started doing weekly Q&As in the stories, and it occurred to me that many podcast listeners might enjoy hearing these questions and my short answers. So, instead of talking about one thing in an episode, I’m going to cover a variety of questions. And keep in mind some of these questions are just for fun. :)
So if you want to ask me questions in my Instagram stories, follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness), and if I answer your question there, it might just make it onto an episode of the podcast!
If you like this type of episode, let me know. Send me an email (mike@muscleforlife.com) or direct message me on Instagram. And if you don’t like it, let me know that too or how you think it could be better.
