You just found the most downloaded health, fitness and entertainment podcast in history approaching over half a billion downloads.

This is Mind Pump. Today's episode, we talk about customized workout programs. We're doing them right now here at Mind Pump. This is the first time ever you can get a MAPS program that is yours. You individualize. Here's what you do. Go to mymapsprogram.com, fill out the questionnaire, and within one week, you get on the phone with a trainer who will deliver to you an individualized MAPS program. It's awesome. Go do it. Look, this episode is brought to you by a sponsor, Ketone IQ. So one of the benefits of going on a ketogenic diet, this is a diet where you completely avoid carbohydrates, like zero carbs, is your body starts to run on ketones. And people like this because they feel sharp. They have more energy, steady energy throughout the day. They have mental clarity. In fact, I tend, I used to go on ketogenic diets when I would do podcast circuits. I would fast the day before, then I'd go there. And when I would eat, I would have no carbohydrates. And I just did better on the podcast because of ketones. Now the problem with that is I had no carbs and that sucks. It's also not great for exercise performance. Terrible pumps in the gym, but that's okay. I sacrificed it for the mental clarity. Well, check this out. There's a company called Ketone IQ that makes exogenous ketones. So what that means is you can eat carbs like you normally do, take ketone IQ, and now you have ketones that your body can run on. In other words, get the benefits of a ketogenic diet without having to avoid the carbs. Ketone IQ will improve energy and clarity.

Maps workout programs have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people, but we're the first people to tell you that although those programs are great, nothing is as good as a customized workout plan. That's a fact, look, we were trainers for 20 years. I could create the best workout for an individual, far better than a general program ever could. That's why I'm so excited to talk about what we've done next. We're gonna talk about individualized maps workout programs. This is the first time in Mind Pump history.

Justin, to put you on the spot a little bit, do you know how many total we have now?

Adam Schafer (2:55)

I believe it's 32 32?

Sal Di Stefano (2:58)

Maps programs? Yeah. I'm gonna tell you why this is so exciting for me, because first off, the reason why we have so many maps programs, one of the reasons, is because people are very different. People have different goals, different fitness experience.

One program may be phenomenal for one person, one may be absolutely horrible for another person, even if it's well written, it could cause injury, or just be totally inappropriate for that individual.

Doug Egge (3:26)

We'll add another layer to that at the time of their life, too.

Sal Di Stefano (3:28)

That's right.

Doug Egge (3:28)

I mean, a program that's great for you and suitable for you at one period of your life versus post-kid or crazy new job, or whatever, that completely changes.

Sal Di Stefano (3:39)

That's right. I mean, you could follow even a maps program, get great results, life circumstances change, and suddenly it doesn't work for you anymore. You plateau or even go backwards. And so this was always a struggle for us, but how in the heck do you create hundreds of thousands of individualized-

Doug Egge (3:55)

High scale that.

Sal Di Stefano (3:56)

Workout program is impossible.

Doug Egge (3:57)

Well, the answer was always the podcast. The podcast was, because no way any of us would have felt comfortable building a e-commerce business where we just pedaled and sold workout programs without adding context to that. And the podcast always served as the conversation to help support people through that. Because if you follow a maps program and you listen to the podcast, you could start to figure some stuff out. Yeah, exactly. And you use the tools that we've provided for you and all the free guides and content, you can start to take a maps skeleton and customize and modify and kind of figure your way out through it.
