Sal Di Stefano co-hosts Mind Pump Radio and Mind Pump TV. By 19 he was managing health clubs, and by 22 he owned his own gym. After 20 years as a personal trainer, he has dedicated himself to bringing science and truth to the fitness industry. In fact, he considers himself a "fitlosopher!" What you'll learn from this episode: As a proud parent who just recently welcomed another addition to the family, what does Sal think about studies that say childless couples are happier? How fitness done right rewards you with numerous lifestyle improvements—whereas, done wrong, it just becomes stressful punishment with results that may actually run counter to your intentions. Trying to figure out how you could possibly find the time in your day to work out for an hour—or even half an hour? Remember: those 60 (or 30) minutes don't have to be consecutive. Chipping away at a fitness regimen for 10 minutes at a time always beats zero minutes. Why, if you want to train in a way that conquers the metabolic ills of modern, sedentary life like obesity and diabetes, Sal recommends building muscle as the closest thing to a panacea there is (and explains why women shouldn't be afraid of "bulking up" by following a muscle-building routine). How poor sleep and starvation dieting may be making your body more efficient with its use of calories—which is bad news if you're trying to lose or maintain weight. And so much more!
