Welcome back to another episode of the Legendary Life Podcast. I'm your host Ted Rice. This is the show that's all about taking your

health, your body, and your life to that next level. And today I'm back

with a third installment on everything you need to know about building muscle in your 40.

So this is the third installment.

I recommend that you go back and listen to the introduction where I talk about why you should care because many of you may not care about

Building muscle in fact you're probably in the gym thinking oh, I've got loss of some calories.

However, that is not the way to get the best results from exercise

or to live a long healthy life.

We talked about sarcopinia, the age-related loss of muscle. We talked about the different types of muscle that you have in your body and why that's relevant to what we went over in our second installment which was lifting weights and why resistance

training is so important how to do resistance training properly and today we're

going to tackle protein. So protein is the second most important thing that you need to take care of if you want to build and or maintain your muscle mass.

And before we start talking about protein,

I want to tell you about my workout.

Yes, I've mentioned it several times now

and probably say, yeah, yeah, yeah, Ted, I know, but what I didn't tell you before was why I decided

to write this workout program and I'll tell you I believe that everybody can get great results in the gym.

But in my 18 plus years of experience hanging out in gyms watching different people do

different workouts and seeing people

spin their wheels and do the same exercises with the same weight and having the same body

for years on end I thought wow that that really sucks it doesn't need to be like that

I also remember when I used to get so frustrated with trying different routines If you remember my story about how I got started

lifting weights when I was 12 years old, I followed Arnold Shortsnager's book.
