Hi, I’m Matt. Welcome to Steady Beats: a newsletter about building the middle-aged life you want in small and steady beats. How to outwork a bad diet Today’s subject line is … clickbait. Sorry. You cannot outwork a bad diet—especially at midlife. But over the short run, when you’re overindulging? Maybe you can make the hole you’re digging a bit less deep with a bit more work.
ha ha, love your subject line and opening admission. "Today’s subject line is … clickbait." and the support for investing in my long-run habits and not a perfect diet over the holidays, because . . . I've otherwise miserably failed.
I'm taking cardio more seriously after a few years of strength-focused training (and starting running last year). Reading this inspired me to go for a run after work today. Thanks for the boost :)

You got me. I was ready to say why you can’t! 🤓
What comes across is a fun mix of play and planning. Sounds effortless!
Fave line: A longer burn, not a hotter one.
