SAVE 25 PERCENT ON THIS ULTRA-POTENT FORMULA
Subject: Save 25 Percent On This Ultra-Potent Formula
I'm going to make this drop dead simple for you:
There's a ton of quality research that has been done on Essential Fatty Acid supplementation.
I trust my partners over at Prograde completely and they are the only brand I recommend.
Their Krill Oil based EFA Icon - as in Essential Fatty Acid- is ultra-potent.
It's also 25% off RIGHT NOW!
http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/essential-fatty-acid.html
Oh, and if you're the kind of person that likes low quality fish oil that gives you the "fish burps", well, you're not going to like Prograde's EFA Icon. Again, it's ultra-potent and it doesn't cause "fish burps" like the cheap brands do. ;-)
Yes, their website is 100% secure and they guarantee everything they sell. Just click the link below to save 25% on research backed EFA Icon.

(HDT) BETTER ABS IN 3 MINUTES?
I got this email today from Jon Benson.
Franky, I'm shocked.
His abs look pretty awesome for a former "fatty" as he calls himself... and at the age of 46!
What's even more shocking is that he trains his abs in 3 minutes, 3 days per week.
Here's how he does it... in his own words.
Oh, and be SURE to visit his homepage for more info!

Better Abs in 3 Minutes
By Jon Benson
Author, 7 Minute Muscle

Abs.
Everyone wants a tighter tummy.
Guys want a six-pack... ladies want a slim, firm waistline... and yes, some want a six-pack too.
Why be sexist? ; )
So needless to say people are freaked out to find that I train my abs in about 3 minutes.
Total.
Here's how:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit <---discount
Let me give you the dirty facts about my abs.
They are the worst part of my body... and one of the best parts at the same time.
The "worst" bit has nothing to do with muscles or even bodyfat most of the time... but SKIN.
Remember, I was obese... 46-inch waist and 38 percent bodyfat.
So my skin got pretty messed up. It never quite recovered from that and I have a "bit" of loose skin around my abs.
Drives me nuts. I may have it removed! ; )
But other than THAT... my abs are pretty good.
Here's a pretty recent shot (after a workout taken with an iPhone... so hardly a professional shot... but you get the idea... )
<img src="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/images/jon_gym_bw.jpg Jon's Abs
This is after THREE MINUTES of ab training done 2-3 times a week.
Let me spell out my thoughts on this:
If you are training your abs longer than 7 minutes a week you are doing something wrong... or you're just wasting your time.
Sorry to break it to you, but abs develop fast.
It's the BODYFAT you need to focus on.
Still, you need abs... and my HDT-Style Training in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle will get you those abs uber-fast:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit <---about HDT
Go watch and read how it works now.
Before you do, let me give you a substitute exercise for one of the three I recommend during my "3-Minute Abs" routine (found in both books on the page above.)
Hanging leg raises... they are the best when done the way I show you in my book.
BUT some people do not have the gym or the straps I recommend.
So do this instead: Leg raises on a Swiss Ball, bench or even off the floor.
Here's the tip: Raise the legs, pause at the top for 2 seconds and blow ALL of your air out. Contract your abs HARD at the top.
Then and ONLY then lower the legs slowly.
If you do this right there's no way to get more than 15 reps. I get about 8 before my abs give out!
That's all it takes. You do NOT need "high reps" to develop your abs. In fact LOW reps work better...
You just need resistance... and my way of training gives you plenty.
This means a LOT less time doing the exercises and a LOT MORE time enjoying the nice set of tummy muscles you've built.
Sounds like a plan.
P.S. Here's the latest for those interested in my ongoing legal issues with selling rights to a publisher.
This concerns YOU as the price for 7 Minute Muscle and 7 Minute Body will NOT be under my control as soon as the contracts are signed.
This was supposed to happen today... but as luck (for you!) would have it, I got caught in Austin traffic at 5:30pm and missed my 6:00 meeting with the publishers.
The president leaves town tonight-Sunday.
SO NOW... I can extend my half-price (more than half-off the Advanced Videos!) for a few more days...
... so go here:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit <---discount
P.P.S. In case you're wondering, this is not a clever marketing ploy... 7MM and 7MB are both being acquired by a publisher.
The recognize the amazing benefits this style of workouts offer anyone at any age... fatburning and muscle-shaping...
Otherwise they would not be writing such a nice check... : )
I bought a Jeep with it. So it's not making me a millionaire or anything, but it's nice to have my hard work rewarded!
Even nicer than that, I get the chance to almost give away my "baby" to you if you don't have it already...
When the deal is done, here is what you can expect to happen:
1. The page below WILL change, and that includes the price... they think the price is not right. (I think that means too low... ha... ; )
2. The specials will end due to the fact they will send millions of people to the site rather than a few hundred thousand (my readers and my] affiliates send about that much.)
3. The book will end up in some bookstore eventually... and that's FINE unless they want to alter the content... which I have a provision to prevent.
Sorry to ramble on about this, but I want you to know the integrity of the guy sending you emails every day...
Sure, I like to make a living. Who doesn't?
But I won't sell my soul to do it.
I won't give up what I KNOW works to make a buck or two... so that means I maintain TOTAL creative control over these books even after the publishers take over.
In fact I'm negotiating a position WITH this firm so I can make SURE I maintain control... and folks, I HATE working for other people!
But it is worth it... IF I can keep the quality of the materials where they are.
And they are 100% solid.
And right now they are 200% cheaper than normal... so if you don't know what all the fuss is about with all of this "7 minute workout" stuff (I prefer the 14-minute advanced workouts, which you can get too) ...
then hop over here:

FASTER FAT BURNING/MUSCLE SHAPING WITH HDT WORKOUTS
All this past week I've been telling you about this:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit <---new.page
This is all about how shorter workouts (7-14 minutes) are better for fatloss AND muscle gain than longer workouts.
Naturally this freaks a lot of people out.
When they see me they assume I train for hours a day.
Wrong. I work out about 3 hours a week total in the gym when I'm not preparing for a photoshoot. When I am I increase the cardio... that's it.
However, I spend HALF the year training about 1.5 hours a week in the gym using my 7 Minute Muscle workouts.
I like training longer, so I mix it up... but the results I get from 7 Minute Muscle are equal OR better than longer workouts so this next year I plan to train using 'nothing' but 7MM.
More here:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit <---new.page
I've been getting swamped with questions about one thing in particular:
WHY are shorter workouts better for fatloss?
The secret behind this is a trademarked term (by me... : )
HDT "Hyper-Density Training"
HDT is the most unique form of density training there is.
Density training is basically more work in less time.
This creates the demand for more energy.
More energy spent = greater fatloss.
More energy demanded = more lean muscle.
All of this in 7-14 minutes per day.
3-5 days per week.
I made a new website about HDT to explain it.
Go here now...
this comes down in a few days:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit <-----about HDT
P.S. HDT works for everyone, even those who workout in their home without weights.
Just by going to the new page you'll learn how to use the principles behind HDT (freee) to help you with your workouts...
... and you can also get the "last-call" for my System that covers HDT and brevity training in detail...

On The Road Again...
FIVE SUPER SIMPLE FAT LOSS TIPS
Fat loss isn't rocket science. I know we love to make our problems seem much bigger than they really are, but when you really look at them they're typically easy to solve. And that's often the case with fat loss.
To prove it to you here are five super simple fat loss tips you can easily follow:
1) Stop guzzling liquid sugar. Yes, I mean soft drinks and juices and bottles of iced tea loaded with high fructose corn syrup. For the most part, a 12 oz can of cola is 150 calories of pure sugar. Have a couple of those a day...
2) I've written it a gazillion times and I will continue to - eat breakfast! If you want to make fat loss easy then make sure you start your metabolism off on the right foot.
3) Eat more fruit. Aim for at least 5 servings a day.
4) Eat more veggies. Again, aim for at least 5 servings a day.
5) Stop eating so many processed foods. If it comes in a box from your grocery store it's most likely processed. The fresher the foods the better.
* Bonus tip*
You can make tips 3 and 4 a breeze by using a whole foods based multi. Personally, I love Prograde Nutrition's VGF 25+
http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/vgfmen
OR
http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/vgfwomen
because it is made from 25 WHOLE veggies, greens and fruits.

THE BEST 16-MINUTE WORKOUT EVER
When Jon Benson wrote "7 Minute Muscle" and "7 Minute Body" (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought he was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor.
I was right... and I was wrong.
I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages.
I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle:
THIS makes people THINNER...
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit%20-close-out-SALE
The short version of the science behind why this happens and a sample workout routine is included in today's newsletter.
Yep: the workout Jon intended people to use for building muscle turned into one of the fastest ways to melt body fat.
Weird.
The secret is density training.
Density is basically getting the most amount of work done in the least amount of time. More work in less time = more energy.
More energy spent = greater fatloss.
Fatloss (and muscle-shaping) is not an issue of length of time as much as it is an issue of work divided by time.
The body was made to perform in bursts, not in long bouts. This is why our immediate fuel sources (which come mostly from carbohydrates) are WAY too efficient... so much so that we store incredible amounts of fat from consuming too many of the "fast-fuel" foods.
The best way to combat this fat-storing problem is to use your body the way it was designed to be used: In bursts of fat-burning power that are intense, short, and highly focused.
That's the basics behind density training.

Want a practical example? Great... let's look at a 7 Minute Muscle chest workout followed by a 7 Minute Muscle "GXP" Cardio workout.
Your total workout time: A whopping 16 minutes.
That's "TOTAL" workout and cardio time, minus a short warm-up.
After your warm-up, you would start with the first of two "Phases":
The first 5 minutes is called The Power Phase.
This is followed by The Mass Phase (Mass is for adding lean muscle) which last only 2 minutes.
During the Power Phase, your weight you select for any movement (from a bench press to a push-up) stays the same. This makes it very easy to shorten your rest intervals between sets.
Your repetitions will be a maximum of 5 for your Power Phase using a weight that's about 60% of your normal 5-rep max. You will rest as little as possible between sets.
The first few sets will feel light, but as time progresses this "light" weight will become more and more challenging. In fact you will drop your repetitions down quite low in order to complete the 5-minute Phase... and that's GOOD.
That's what we want: As many repetitions as you can get during 5 minutes, but never exceeding FIVE repetitions, during your Power Phase.
Your rest intervals are up to YOU... you can rest a short or as long as you need.
This is a very creative and personal workout!
Your goal is simple: Get more TOTAL reps (called "Aggregate Repetitions", or "AR") than your previous workout.
This is what makes 7 Minute Muscle so unique: The progression is built-in.
Most people fail to progress in the gym because they simply do not track their workouts carefully enough.
With 7 Minute Muscle you don't have to track an entire workout: Only ONE number. The total number of repetitions, or your "AR".
Simple!
Your Power Phase for a chest workout may look like this:
EXERCISE:
Incline Machine Press (upper chest)
5 reps (rest 20 seconds)
5 reps (rest 15 seconds)
4 reps (rest 20 seconds)
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)
1 rep (rest 20 seconds)
1 rep (end)
]Total AR: 22 reps
Total Time: 5 minutes
Your goal next time is to get 23 repetitions using the same weight. Once you can get 5 repetitions every set it's time to increase the weight for this movement.
You would then move to your Mass Phase (2 minutes) which would be a different chest exercise for TEN repetitions.
Same goal, same principles apply... beat your previous AR.
The end result is a 7-minute workout that shapes your chest AND burns a lot of fat due to the principles of time/energy expenditure and the fact that muscle burns calories.
More details here:
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit ; <--close-out-SALE
You end your 7 minute workout with "GXP" Cardio. This is 9 minutes long... that's it! But your body is primed to melt off a lot of fat after your 7 minutes of intense weight training... and you will drop the fat if you do this workout right.
You start with 3 minutes on the exercise device of your choice (I prefer the treadmill.)
You work your way up to 85-90% of your maximum heart rate, or a perceived exertion rate on a scale of 1-10 of 7 to 8. No more is needed to get the desired results.
You stay at this level for just 3 minutes.
Then you cool down for 3 minutes.
That's IT.
That's your entire cardio workout and weight-training workout... all in 16 minutes (about 20 with a warm-up.)
And you will progress faster, burn a lot more fat, and save SO much time you may have to take up a new hobby!

Enjoy the time you save!
Sincerely,

P.S. Jon's System just got bought out by a publishing company. He has a few days left before he loses control over the pricing of the product...
... SO he cut the price WAY DOWN for the next few days to give my readers a shot at everything... the book, the intro videos, the in-home "7 Minute Body" ... and even the optional ADVANCED 14-minute workout videos!
It's all here... but hurry:

DUMBEST “SLIMMING” SNACK ADVISE EVER
Dumbest 'Slimming' Snack Advice Ever
It's no wonder people are so overweight. It's no wonder people don't have the flat stomach they crave.
With TV commercials as misleading as they are it's really no shock whatsoever.
You're inundated with crummy information and myths every time you turn on the TV.
A while back they were running a commercial for some silly Rice Puff product. It was in an office setting and someone had brought in cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.
One woman looked worried she was going to ruin her "diet" because of the temptation and decided to "fill up" on a Rice Puff product.
Come on. You're smarter than that. You know darn well that a rice puff thingy is going to fill you up and stop you from stuffing your face.
For one thing, you need to expect these situations to arise. Whether you want six pack abs or just want to get to a perfectly healthy weight, you have to have a plan for temptation.
Second, that means you need to plan meals so you aren't completely starving when someone brings cupcakes to your office or something.
You know you need to eat small, frequent and nutritious meals if you really want to achieve fat loss.
Third, if you are looking for a great tasting healthy snack that fulfills your love of chocolate then look no further.
Prograde Cravers are just what the fitness pro ordered. ( Check them out here: http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/cravers )
Cravers are only 180 calories and they are made with 100% organic dark chocolate. They are completely delicious and they are the perfect snack for busy people on the go.
They even come in three flavors. Personally, I love the Chocolate Peanut Butter bars!
Anyway, don't buy the hype on TV. You know better than that. - If you want to check out Prograde Cravers right away go here: http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/cravers
