Lee Hayward's Total Fitness Bodybuilding

Getting in shape after 40 isn't about chasing extremes and relying on will power - it's about achieving the maximum results with the minimum effective dose of diet and exercise, so you can lose fat, build lasting strength, and enjoy your life in the process. In this podcast, I'm joined by Tom Mouland (Tom The Trainer) and we share a no-nonsense, real-world approach to sustainable fat loss, muscle building, and healthy living for men over 40. We cut through the hype of extreme short term diets like keto, carnivore, intermittent fasting, and other quick fixes. Sure, they might work for short term results - but most guys can't stick to them and they end up rebounding, regaining the weight, and feeling worse than when they started.

Getting in shape isn't just about sets, reps, or macros - it's about mastering your mindset. In this episode of the Total Fitness Bodybuilding Lee Hayward and Jeff Samataro dive deep into the mental side of fitness and nutrition. Whether you're struggling to stay consistent, feeling burned out, or just can't seem to get motivated to workout, this podcast will help you break through the mental barriers that are holding you back. This podcast explores the real reasons people fall off track - and what it takes to stay committed long term. You'll learn how to: ✅ Build unshakable discipline ✅ Overcome excuses and mental roadblocks ✅ Stay focused when motivation fades ✅ Create a lifestyle that supports lasting results This is your guide to showing up when you don't feel like it — and becoming the kind of person who doesn't quit. Because fitness isn't just a physical game... it's a mental one.

Losing weight can be a lifelong struggle, and no body knows about that more than Mark King. At his heaviest he was 886 pounds, and how he knew his exact weight was because the hospital literally had to take him to the zoo and use the scales that they have there for the animals. That was a few years ago, but since then Mark has lost an astonishing 363 pounds and is still moving and grooving towards losing even more weight and reclaiming his health and fitness. In this podcast interview Mark share's his incredible weight loss journey, from the struggles he faced early in childhood that caused him to go down the road of extreme obesity. To hitting his rock bottom. And now coming out the other side as a better person, and sharing his story to help inspire others who are struggling with their weight.

Most people "Know What They Should Do", but for some reason they just can't follow through and actually do it.

Finding your inner motivation to work out can be challenging, but we're going to unpack this topic in great detail and give you some real world practical action steps that you can start following TODAY to build that positive momentum moving forward, make progress, and feel good about yourself so that living a healthy fitness lifestyle becomes part of your regular routine as you adopt new identity as a strong, healthy, and fit person.

Losing fat, building muscle, and achieving your health & fitness goals should be a simple and straight forward process. But unfortunately most people end up self sabotaging their own success. While they may start off with the best of intentions and see some initial progress, it's usually short lived before they fall off the rails and resort back to their old habits. Even though you may "Know What To Do" in terms of what foods you should eat, what workouts to do, etc. Many people can't follow through consistently and do what they know they should do. It's almost as if there's a Mental Block holding them back and this is what we refer to as " The Fear Of Success". In this podcast we'll discuss strategies that you can use to help you overcome the fear that may be holding you back mentally. You'll see some real examples from our personal coaching students who have overcome the odds and achieved above average results with building muscle and losing fat regardless of age and genetics.

If your diet and exercise program has a START and an END date - the results are only going to be temporary. You need to look at the process of losing fat and building muscle as a lifestyle change. There is no finish line, no end date, it's simply an on going process of small daily improvement for the rest of your life! This is why suffering it out on a short term fat loss diet plan never works over the long term. If you don't create the sustainable habits and lifestyle changes that are required to maintain a lean muscular body - you'll always regain the weight back again as soon as you stop that nose to the grindstone approach. The good news is if you do the right things - the process of building a lean muscular body doesn't have to be stressful, or painful, and it can actually be more enjoyable than the way you're living right now. If you don't want to be fat anymore, and are ready to make a permanent change, then make sure to listen to this podcast to the very end.
