As a former PE teacher, athlete, personal trainer and now one of the biggest fitness YouTubers in the World (a.k.a an absolute weirdo who films themselves doing stuff), the most common question I get from followers and even people in the street is, 'How do I get a body like yours?' People will almost whisper it, as if I'm going to usher them into a dark alleyway and reply with some kind of mystical secret. Like they're expecting to be told that they need to drink 263ml of maple syrup three times a day whilst reading the complete works of Shakespeare to their dog. Other times they seem to want me to reveal a protocol of supplements, with an inference that I must be taking steroids or other drugs, because having a good body without chemicals is now seen by some as almost impossible. It's not. This book is my attempt to shatter all of those myths and give it to you entirely straight. It is about understanding how to live your life in a more healthy, sustainable and happy way-and how to maintain that forever.

The 24/7 Body: Everyday Diet and Training Advice for Long Term Results Reviews

  • Andres Barreda

    The book is pretty entertaining, I’ve followed Mat’s work for some time now and he’s very straightforward and honest about the fitness industry.

    The book has good content and advices, oriented towards beginners. If you’re more experienced or have more knowledge in fitness maybe you already know part of the information.

    One observation is that the book lacks order with the principles Mat covers, I didn’t see a clear path in the transmission of the message. Also, some chapters talked a lot about Mat’s personal life, maybe more than it should have...

    Review copy from NetGalley.

    I'd never heard of Matt previously, but since I need to shift a few lockdown/christmas pounds in the coming months, I thought this could be a good listen. Matt comes across very well on audio, with a light conversational tone that feels like you're listening to a mate. I did hear a few mistakes that needed to be edited out, but they weren't without their charm.

    Content wise, this is pleasingly BS free. He explains in simple terms how fat loss occurs and offers some insight into muscle gain and issues surrounding supplements and crash diets. The only criticism I have is when he used vegan diets as an example of a difficult diet to get enough protein on. I've been vegan for a few years and never struggled to get enough protein. His point stands when it comes to the plant-based fad diets (of which there are many) but referring to a 'vegan diet' doesn't really mean much. Some of us eat higher protein, others don't. It's a lifestyle, not a diet.

    Overall, I really enjoyed this and I'm sure I'll check out his Youtube channel.

    It's honest and it's real. That's what I like about it. It's more geared to beginners or people needing motivation.
    If you are already training, this will not add much. But it'll be entertaining.

    Great book, definitely aimed more towards beginners just getting into fitness but I still enjoyed it all the same

  • Sara Campbell

    Listened as an audiobook - would strongly recommend this format. Hilarious, very personal and uplifting. Not what I expected at all. A great way to avoid the fad-dieting-January ridiculousness that happens at this point in the year all the time.
