Welcome to the Get Fit Guys quick and dirty tips to get moving and shape up.

My name is Brock Armstrong and I'm the Get Fit Guy.

You know what? You work hard to stay fit and you'd like increased muscle definition to show for it.

Well, in this episode, we're going to look at a strategy that

prioritizes fat loss and maximizes muscle gain to get the results that you want. A few weeks ago,

I received a voicemail on the Get FitGuy hotline from a listener named Aaron, and this is what she

asked. Hi, Brock. My name's Aaron. I've been listening to

your podcast for a long time, and I find it really helpful. I'm a woman in, well, close to 50,

and I've been working out with free weights, kettlebells, battle ropes pretty consistently for about

three years, and I'm finding that it's like running to stay in place.

I'm reasonably toned, but I never seem to be able to develop real muscle mass or definition.

And I'm wondering if you could address this on your podcast. Like, what is a kind of fit person need

to do, especially in middle life, to get more muscle mass and kind of go to the next level.

Should I be taking a lot of protein? Should I be trying to lose a bunch of weight? My weight is actually

quite normal, quite good. But if I want definition, do I have to get super skinny? Should I be

increasing my weights by quite a bit? So I'm wondering, what should you do? If you're reasonably

fit, you want to take it to the next level, but you don't really know how. What are the most

impactful things you can do in terms of muscle definition and gaining muscle mass when you're in

midlife? Thank you for all you're doing. I really like your show. Take care. What Aaron is really

asking about is how to best change her body composition.

Now, she said she's not that interested in losing body weight.

She simply wants to shift the composition of her body from fat tissue to muscle tissue.
