About this listen

The bestselling fitness book for women who want to lose up to 35 pounds of fat or more and gain whole-body muscle definition in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts.

Is Thinner Leaner Stronger a body building book that can give you a toned “Hollywood babe body” in 30 days flat?

No.

Is it a weight loss book for women full of diet and exercise “hacks” for gaining lean muscle and melting belly fat faster than a sneeze in a cyclone?

Absolutely not.

But is it a science-based weight training book (and nutrition book) that’ll demystify muscle building and fat loss and show you exactly how to get a lean, strong, and fit physique without spending hours in the gym every day?

And while still enjoying your favorite foods, like hamburgers, pizza, and ice cream?

Yes.

And you’ll see visible results in the mirror and gym in your first month on the program.

Because here’s the deal:

Muscle building and fat loss aren’t nearly as complicated as you’ve been led to believe.

You don't need to: Obsess over "clean eating" and avoiding “unhealthy” foods like sugar, meat, and bread. Some foods are more nutritious and should be eaten more frequently than others. That's it.

You don't need to: Grind through hours of punishing strength training workouts every week. Sweating buckets, getting really sore, training until bone-tired . . . all wholly overrated for gaining muscle and strength.

You don't need to: Slog away on the treadmill. In fact, you don't need to do any cardio exercise at all to shed belly, hip, and thigh fat.

Those are just a few of the harmful fitness lies and myths that keep women weak, overweight, and confused.

And Thinner Leaner Stronger will teach you something that most of those women will never know:

How to cut through all the confusion and clutter and create clear, structured, no-nonsense diet and training plans tailored to your fitness goals, circumstances, and preferences.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll discover inside this health book for women:

● The 10 biggest fitness myths and mistakes that keep women from achieving the body they really want. For example, “only calories matter,” “carbs and sugars make you fat,” and “strength training makes you bulky.”

● The primary driver of muscle growth that forces your muscles to get fitter and stronger. And no, it has nothing to do with “muscle confusion,” “functional training,” or any other pseudoscientific fitness nonsense.

● How to create meal plans for building muscle and losing fat with foods you love so you never feel starved, deprived, or like you're "on a diet" (and especially a “bodybuilding diet”).

12 months of workouts for women created by the author to show you how to use principles and methods taught in the book to get tight legs and glutes, sculpted arms and back muscles, and a flat stomach.

● A no-BS guide to fitness supplements that’ll save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on useless (and sometimes even dangerous) pills, powders, and potions.

And that’s not all, either . . .

Thinner Leaner Stronger is one of the most popular women's strength training books of all time, with over 500,000 copies sold in 13 languages, and it has helped tens of thousands of women of all ages and abilities transform their body composition, fitness, and health.

367 peer-reviewed scientific studies support the Thinner Leaner Stronger system of eating, training, and recovering for losing fat and building muscle and strength.

Thinner Leaner Stronger is regularly revised based on the latest findings in nutrition, exercise, and supplementation research, with the latest version (fourth edition) released in 2023.

Here’s the bottom line:

You can get that head-turning “beach-ready body” without following weird, extreme, or complicated diet, exercise, or supplementation methods or strategies.

And this women's weight lifting book shows you how.

So, get your copy now, and start your journey to a fitter, leaner, and stronger you.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Awesome fitness book

A great no-nonsense guide to health & fitness. Stresses hard work, discipline and proper techniques over quick fixes that aren't sustainable.

Fantastic, Concise and Incredibly Informative

Thinner Leaner Stronger is exactly the resource I've been looking for! For the past 9 months I've been fascinated with building a better, healthier and leaner body, but have struggled to find something female specific. This book packages up everything you need to know, and the convenience of having it in audio means I can listen to and from work, and I can pick and choose which chapters I'd like to revisit. Thank you so much- have already started implementing your strategies, and have been raving about it to a bunch of friends! :)

Generic information and not female specific

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably not - would have been so much more enjoyable and helpful if it was specific to female nutrition and skipped all the male stats and data

Any additional comments?

Whilst quite informative, it was very general in nature. Good to hear that he is not trying to sell supplements and merc.

Great book - shame audible messed up the chapters!

Love the content and I’ve learned a lot listening, but the layout of the content has major issues. Over 7 hours of the book (e.g. the parts you’ll want to listen to again!!!!) are lumped into a single chapter with no breaks for the ability to easily find the parts you want. No fault of the author, I even contacted Audible and was sent a nonsense generic reply. Would be five stars if this wasn’t the case. Really disappointed in Audible, but looking forward to starting the program. Thanks heaps Michael!!
