193: Man Flow Muscle: Why Combining Yoga with Weight Lifting Improves Your Results When You're 40+ (with Funk Roberts)

Nothing is a better one-two punch for burning fat, building muscle, and building a pain-free and injury-free lifestyle if you're over 40 than by combining strength training with yoga.

But not just any kind of strength training. And not just any kind of yoga.

That's why I partnered with Funk Roberts, a strength and conditioning coach for men over 40, to create a brand-new way to train your body:

Man Flow Muscle!

Nobody understands all the nuances that go into programming a strength training program like Funk. Plus, Funk's style is a lot like my style: we both make follow-along workouts with muscle and body cues at the exact time you need them.

In today's show, Funk and I reveal…

Why Man Flow Muscle is the most effective way to workout if you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70

How to avoid the common mistakes men make when they first start lifting and when they first try yoga

How to join Man Flow Muscle at a fat 50% discount
