inform nation welcome in Tim Edwards here at the inbound podcasting network. And this is episode number 52 of the inform fitness podcast with New York Times bestselling author, Adam Zickerman. The song that you heard at the top of the episode was performed by an inform fitness client who has one heck of a story to share with you today. You are about to hear a stirring testimonial regarding the health benefits that can come as a result of the slow motion high intensity strength training protocol administered by the inform fitness program. And in some cases, maybe even life saving. Our guest today is a longtime client of the Manhattan inform fitness location, whose name is Michael Durkin, in this episode, you will receive some weight loss tips. But you're also going to hear stories of profound loss and perseverance, and most importantly, a lesson that you are never too old to make some positive changes in your life.
Mike 02:09
That was an incredible song to start off the episode. I'm so excited about this podcast, and for our guests that were that we're going to be interviewing today, because it's a testimonial of the health benefits that come with the inform fitness program. I think in this podcast, we're gonna re ask the question what is necessary if your goal is weight loss, it's going to dispel some of the exercise myths that we've talked about before on this podcast. And I think it's going to address the understated effect of hormones on muscle growth and fat loss. And our guest today has been a client with us since 2011. And in the last seven years, he's had some unbelievable results to his health and fitness. His name is Mike Durkin, you just heard him sing just now a second ago life is a bowl of cherries, and I'm just gonna I just recalled Mike, years ago, as a fact he sang backup with Bon Jovi actually years ago on which album was that?
Mike Durkin 03:09
The crush album.
Mike 03:13
We said it sounds like we're kidding. But we're not. And what song was it again?
Mike Durkin 03:17
One wild night
Mike 03:20
One Wild night, so we'll see if we can get a clip of that song. It's he's actually credited on the on the it was a CD at the time, right?
Adam 03:28
Can we get Bon Jovi to approve us to see a clip
Mike Durkin 03:31
in addition to the backup, I also in the middle of that song, there's a primal scream. And that's me.
Adam 03:39
No way. Can you repeat that scream now?
Mike Durkin 03:43
I only do that on some of the machines that you put me on.
Adam 03:46
I only do that for big cash, Adam. I don't do that for free.
Mike 03:50
So Mike was referred by his good friend Hence Orme which if you're a listener of the podcast, he was the subject of the return of the prodigal client, which was
Adam 04:01
one of our most popular podcasts.
Mike 04:03
I personally love seeing Mike every week. He's consistent with his workouts. He works very, very hard. He's extremely positive and funny. And I've learned a lot from him over the years. And he's a financial analyst on Wall Street, loves his job has two grown kids. And he's currently 75 years old. He will be 76 in a couple of months, right?
Mike Durkin 04:24
Yeah, August

Adam 04:38
thank you very much.
Mike 04:38
my half birthday at the same time. So anyway, in order to explain Mike's results, we have to go back to the beginning, which is 2011. In preparing for this podcast and in organizing my thoughts. I thought that Mike's story can be divided into three little chapters and the first one starts in 2011 When you walked in our door, and Mike, what was going on in your life at that time?
Mike Durkin 05:07
Okay, well, this chapter of my life actually started in late 2010. And what happened in late 2010. In November, specifically, my, my wife, Terry, who I had been my soulmate for 40 years was in intensive care, at Sloan Kettering hospital, she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of thyroid cancer, and she had just been given a, you know, a few weeks or months to live at that point in time.
