If you liked today’s video, then you’ll get a ton out of this short presentation from my friend and fellow nutritionist Isabel. She SHATTERS a ton of nutrition myths about “so-called” healthy foods that could be make you fat:
Do you have friends and family who are trying to lose weight or get ready for summer? Or maybe you know somebody who “demonizes” fruit or just eats it the WRONG way?
If so, make sure you pass this along so they get the straight facts.
Training Solution Update #3:
Abdominal & Workout Finishers
In case you haven’t heard, “workout finisher” is a big buzzword in the fitness industry right now.
And for a pretty good reason. They can help you burn an extra 400 to 500 calories from every exercise session. Additionally, they help enhance the “after burn” of your workouts. In other words, you’ll burn calories at a much higher rate for 12 to 48 hours after the workout – if intensity levels are high enough.
However, like most approaches this can backfire on you. There’s hormonal processes that our bodies go through that MUST be addressed to make things like “finishers” work their magic properly.
And if you understand this process there’s a way that you can legitimately TARGET hip and lower abdominal fat with your workouts.
Now if you’re thinking of targeting your stomach, hip, or butt fat with machines – DON’T! Traditional sit-ups and crunches will wreck your back.
And those stupid adductor and abductor machines will just make your hips and legs BIGGER. Doh! Seriously, quit waiting in line for these machines and use an approach that’s proven. If you’re really trying to tone up, this is total waste of time.
I explain all the details here in this video.

Training Solution Update #2:
“After-Burn” Accelerators
-Follow this weekly exercise schedule-
Welcome back!
Today I have another exercise and training “treat” for you. I’m caught “live” on hidden camera below demonstrating how you can use your own bodyweight to accelerate fat loss for 38 to 48 hours AFTER your workout, while simultaneously gaining lean, calorie burning muscle.
So if you’re a big fan of using machines to workout, I come bearing “bad news”.
Machines severely limit your fat burning potential and hinder your results.
It’s primarily because machines control the range of motion and typically don’t recruit other body parts to help stimulate enough muscle. They also don’t elevate heart rate high enough to efficiently burn calories at a rapid rate or activate your hormones properly.
Sometimes machines can be an effective tool to ‘burnout’ an individual body part at the end of a workout. But they should NEVER be a staple if you’re serious about changing the way you look and flattening your stomach.
That’s why you should learn how to apply “After-Burn” Accelerators.
What are they?
Whenever you combine any type of higher intensity upper body weight and lower body weight circuits to significantly elevate your heart rate in strategic sequence, you are basically doing an “After-Burn” Accelerator.
It’s like a hybrid combo of intervals and weights together – but without the hassle of heavy weights or the “lameness” of cardio.
This isn’t just simply “circuit training”. It’s much more.
Because you’re not training with heavy weights, you can shorten up your rest periods significantly and get leaner without doing normal cardio, while preserving and/or gaining muscle.
Simply put, “After-Burn” Accelerators is all about using your own body weight to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously by limiting recovery time between workouts. In fact, you don’t need fancy equipment or even a gym. You can basically use dumbbells, kettle bells, TRX or even just your own body weight.
So think of these metabolic accelerators as high intensity body weight circuits.
This is also referred to as MRT (Metabolic Resistance Training), CRT (Circuit Resistance Training), or Metabolic Circuits. Names, name, names, I know.
But if you’ve never done this type of training before, you’re in for a treat. It’s very effective and fantastic for your overall health.
You’ll potentially achieve a whole new level of leanness after you incorporate the “After-Burn” accelerators above consistently into your regimen.
You can burn fat and gain muscle at the same time.
It places less stress on your joints than traditional cardio.
You’ll stimulate both fast and slow twitch muscle fibers through higher reps sets based on time combined with explosive movements that require more tension and force.
You can create an “after burn” very similar to metabolic bursting-intervals, which means you’ll still be burning calories for 38 to 48 hours after just one session. Nice…nice…and NICE!
It’s user friendly because it can be done anywhere, even in a hotel room. In fact, I used to spend all kinds of time and money trying to find a gym or health club when I traveled. Once I discovered this approach, I skipped the hassle and got rid of the headache by using my hotel room or finding a park near by.
Burns more calories during and after workouts than normal exercise sessions because you’re limiting recovery between sets. It’s also been shown that by using compound upper and lower body movements together, you naturally maintain a higher heart rate and get a much larger overall calorie burn.
Saves time because you get a full body workout that hits nearly all muscle groups in the body, while achieving the hormone releasing effects bursting and weight training all in one.This has also been shown to accelerate full body glycogen depletion, which always indirectly leads to more body fat reduction.
It builds stability muscles, coordination, balance and core strength unlike traditional cardio and weight training machines.
It will get you in the best shape of your life.
Just remember, minute for minute you’ll burn way more calories using “After-Burn” Accelerators than traditional cardio or weights done individually on their own.
And when you place these workouts in a “strategic sequence” to work synergistically with Interval Sequencing™, your body fat won’t stand a chance.
Here’s a free example of a weekly schedule you can follow using this type of exercise.
If you haven’t been properly acquainted with my Interval Sequencing™ strategy, let me formally introduce you:
Head over to the link above and check out the article I wrote showing you exactly how to target the belly bulge with weights and resistance training.
If you know anybody who always complains about not having time to exercise, make sure you share today’s post with them. They’ll be automatically cured of their disease appropriately called “Excusitis”.
Update #1:
New GH Multiplier Workout Increases
Fat Loss AND Muscular Endurance
Today is Update #1 of my new workout video series I’ll be sharing on the blog this week. This workout has been shown to release 9xs normal amounts of GH (growth hormone) when done correctly.
I demonstrate on “hidden” camera exactly how it’s done so you can try it too. This type of approach is what triggers a “shift” in your metabolism to make lower stomach and ab fat your “go to” energy source.
It’s specifically designed to be an intense weight training or resistance training routine to accelerate fat loss AND muscular endurance simultaneously.
And – YES, you can add a significant amount of muscle without being a meathead. In fact, it should be one of your top priorities because it’s the only way you’ll achieve and maintain the lean “Hollywood” type of look.
In my opinion, using intense free weights and bodyweight training is one the greatest secrets of fat loss and body transformation.
The reason I say the word “secret” is because most people who diet either neglect resistance training altogether or don’t know how to use the right set up. Additionally, the majority of exercisers just don’t know how to push themselves properly to make a significant change in their body.
Remember, the minute you restrict calories and do cardio without weight training it leads to significant muscle loss and metabolic slowdown. That’s because your body treats fat like it’s your retirement plan. It wants to “hang on” to and save as much as possible for later. It’s just how God designed us for survival.
So if you have an apple or pear shaped type of body and all you do is try to eat healthy and do normal slow-go cardio or aerobics, you’ll just burn up muscle and end up looking like a “smaller” apple or pear. Not good.
Always remember:More muscle = a healthier metabolism and accelerated fat loss.
Muscle burns calories while you’re at rest and gives you the lean-toned look without the bulk. That’s because it raises your basal metabolism, which causes you to burn more calories 24 hours a day. You’ll even burn more calories while you’re sleeping.
Additionally strength and resistance training provides a laundry list of physical and mental benefits that will improve the quality of your life…
Reverse the natural decline in your metabolism
Energizes you
Strengthens your bones reducing your risk of developing osteoporosis
Improves your muscular endurance
Makes you strong..duh
Gives you confidence and increases your self esteem
Makes daily activities easier
Makes you less prone to low-back injuries
Decreases your resting blood pressure
Decreases your risk of developing adult onset diabetes
Decreases your gastrointestinal transit time
Increases your blood level of HDL cholesterol (the good type)
Improves your posture
Improves the functioning of your immune system
Lowers your resting heart rate
Improves your balance and coordination
Elevates your mood
Decreases anxiety and depression
Helps you sleep better
Puts you in a better mood
Increases blood flow in the brain
Ok, now that I’ve made my case (and went on a rant) about WHY weight training is critical to your long term health and mandatory for rapid body transformation, it’s time get down to business and show you how it’s done.
Introducing: The Growth Hormone Multiplier (GH10) – Also known as Rep Range-Lactic Acid Training (RR-LA)
You’ll perform two rounds of the protocol I give you in today’s video if you’re a beginner and you’ll perform three or four rounds if you’re a little more experienced.
You’ll need to rest a FULL two minutes between rounds in order to complete this properly.
This type of training is specifically designed with short rest intervals and a wide variety of rep ranges to increase production of lactate (lactic acid).
The reason this happens is because of the anaerobic break down of glycogen, which causes the burning sensation in your muscles when you lift weights. High levels of lactate are directly correlated with the increased release of growth hormone (GH).
This will help you fight metabolic slow down because GH helps mobilize and burn fat hormonally. In fact, if this training is done correctly, GH production can potentially be up to nine times normal amounts.This is significant.
Additionally, when you combine strategic rest periods while hitting your muscles with different rep ranges in the same session, you bring in a host of other benefits to stack the deck in your favor.
This means fat loss (through production of extra lactate) combined with strength and muscle gains (by hitting all rep ranges you’ll stimulate both fast and slow twitch muscle fibers).
So as you can see, you get a pretty sweet metabolic effect from this type of training.
I’ve been using this method and refining it with my clients with sick results for the last few years now. That means awesome btw.
Ok, so you might be wondering what I’m up to and “why” I’m giving away all this killer free content. Well, there’s a reason.
It’s to celebrate the release of our Brand New 4 Cycle Solution Exercise & Training Accelerator Package (available Tuesday, February 21st and it will discounted for my readers at a special launch price).

New FREE Report Uncovers Exercise Tricks To Accelerate Fat Loss & Release More Hormones
The last time I read the updated research, it said that 60% of people who exercise are still overweight. That’s sad.
Something is obviously BROKEN here.
This is one of the main reasons I decided to do a series on weight training and/or resistance training. I’ve always been a real stickler about weights and resistance training because so many people miss the boat when it comes to monitoring and applying proper intensity levels.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves…
People who go to the gym and meander around acting like it’s social hour doing 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps of this and that – with no real plan. Or even worse yet, a personal trainer doing the same exact thing with a client!
I see it ALL the time.
What a waste of freakin’ time (and money).
Just another reason I’m sharing this stuff. To help all those people who are missing the boat. If you’re investing your precious time and / or hard earned money, why not make the most of it?
Reality:Most people have what it takes, but they lack focus – so they never push hard enough to produce a result when they resistance train.
When you learn how to apply REAL intensity to your resistance training you’ll activate your metabolic triggers to unleash fat burning hormones and stimulate more muscle fibers while burning through a lot more calories during and several hours after your workout.
THIS type of intensity is what will make you look different (or should I say “better”). THIS is what will make your muscles firm, toned, and strong. THIS is what will help you turn heads. Got it?
Intensity. This guy has it, but unfortunately not the right kind.
So my advice is:
Learn how to monitor your intensity levels on EVERY set.
I know this sounds a little anal, but it becomes second nature after a little practice.
Do yourself a favor the next time you workout. Make sure you use the following Intensity Stacker tricks I reveal in today’s video:
Progressive Rest Reduction (1 minute and 29 seconds into the vid)
Forced Reps (2 minutes and 14 seconds into the vid)
Negatives and Partials (3 minutes and 9 seconds into the vid)
Up and Down the mountain (5 minutes and 11 seconds into the vid)
What will happen when you try these Intensity Stackers?
You’ll automatically get TWICE the muscle stimulation (and way more of a calorie burn).
You’ll instantly produce a LOT more natural growth hormone because Intensity Stackers are specifically designed to produce more lactate, or lactic acid, which = more GH (and endorphins) released.
You’ll be able to dramatically cut down your workout time because you’ll fit way more volume (reps and sets) into the same amount of time.
You’ll sweat your living arss off and just plain FEEL a whole lot better physically and mentally.
Sweat is a great thing… It’s just a sign that your fat is crying. Ha!
Today’s knowledge bomb should definitely get you excited (or should I say “pumped”…hehe) because you’ll have several new tricks to try next time you workout.
BTW – I highly recommend you try to learn something new everyday. It’s one of the secrets of the journey. Whether it’s fat loss, health, or any area of life; knowledge IS power WHEN it’s applied properly.
That’s why I put together this brand new report for you to download. And since you’re cool enough to spend time on my blog, you can download it for FREE right now. NO email required.
All I ask for in return is for you to hit “like” button and pass this along to anybody you know who exercises but still struggles with their weight.
Seriously, quit waiting in line for these machines and use an approach that’s proven. If you’re really trying to tone up, this is total waste of time.
