About this listen
A 10-week strength training programme that could transform your life...
You’ve already figured out that strength training is the best way to burn fat, develop lean muscle, and get in great shape.
And you’re ready to get started in the gym, as well as improving your diet.
But what exercises should you focus on? How many sets of each exercises? What about repetitions...rest periods...rest days?
Then there’s all the conflicting advice out there on diet and supplements in a very noisy health and fitness world.
The biggest problem of all? Finding an approach to weight training that you enjoy - and a diet that can be maintained in the long term.
Most men and women don’t - that’s why their attempts at achieving their fitness goals often end in failure and frustration.
In this audiobook Marc McLean, author of the Strength Training 101 book series and online fitness coach, lays out his full 10-week weight training programme, step-by-step.
But Marc has made all the same successful strategies available in his online programme Be Your Own PT in audiobook format so that you can access them, copy them - and get great results too.
In Be Your Own PT, Marc shares:
- The exact gym workout plans he uses with clients.
- Demonstrations of every exercise.
- His unique approach to diet that you’ll never struggle with.
- The three foundations of every successful workout programme.
- A week-by-week plan of action that you can follow.
- A series of positive habits that you introduce each week.
- A bonus guide on natural supplements that can help you achieve your fitness goals quicker.
- Success stories of people who achieved great results.
Time to get started on your transformation!

It's time to learn how to burn fat fast - even if you've failed in the past! Burning fat is easy...but so many people make such hard work of it.

There's a growing army of women out there laughing, because they've turned their bodies into fat burning machines - without exercising most of the week, or eating like a rabbit. They've transformed their bodies - and are now in the best shape of their lives. The reality is that weight training incinerates body fat, develops lean, toned muscles, increases your strength, improves your mental health, strengthens your heart, lowers your risk of disease, strengthens bones, improves posture, boosts your confidence - the list goes on.

The fitness industry tries very hard to gloss over the less glamorous parts of achieving a healthier body and a happier life. It seems like everybody else already knows what to eat or how to use heavy weights and complicated machines. But the truth is, every person's fitness journey is unique. What really matters is identifying what works for you and understanding why it works.

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts. Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

Losing fat is tough. The biggest issue us women face is a complete lack of information. I mean, look at how it is marketed to us in the first place. We’re told to lose "weight" all the time. Losing weight and losing fat are two completely different things. You could lose weight and still be the unhealthiest person in the world. You can eat as much as you want and eat as healthy as you think you can, but if you follow this wrong goal, you won’t get the results you desire.

Practical Approach To Getting In Shape
I’ve listened to all of Marc’s audiobooks, but I’d say that Be Your Own PT is definitely the most practical of them all. It’s set out so that you can follow along each of the 10 weeks of the weight training program.
