Your Last Chance To Lose Belly Fat Forever (Hours Left)
You've been hearing me talk about my good friend Josh Bezoni,
"The Belly-Blasting King" a lot over the last week.
The reason I've been talking so much about him and his new
7-Day BellyBlastDiet is because of the flat-belly RESULTS
Josh has helped tens of thousands of men and women get in
record time. And, quite honestly, I don't want you to miss out
on your last chance to finally be slim, healthy and happy.
In fact, here's something I want you to do RIGHT NOW. I want
you to click on the link below and scroll down Josh's web site
and just LOOK at the extraordinary before and after photos
of the people Josh has helped get a flat belly fast. And I want
you to WATCH the inspiring video right above those photos
from these good folks.

These are people who were, not too long ago, just like you.
They were embarrassed about their bodies. They were worried
sick about their health and the example they were setting for loved
ones. And they never thought they could ever find a way to
REALLY lose that bellyfat, because they'd failed so many times
in the past.
They'd practically given up all hope.
But they did lose the bellyfat fast with a PROVEN program…
and now they're loving life. They've dropped 20, 40, 60, 80
and 100+ pounds faster than they ever thought possible. And
you WILL do the same. You just need to decide to take that
first step by visiting that little link below. Prepare to be inspired
by that video and those photos.

I tend to be a little addicted to working out...
I had a great DENSITY workout yesterday. I'm really trying to improve my squat form. It is getting better and better.
Today I performed the 5 minute mini circuit this morning. I will ride my bike and spend some time outside this afternoon walking and playing with BJ. She is LOVING this cooler weather. The best thing about it for me is NO bugs. I don't really mind the heat. I like to sweat, but the bugs drive me insane.

1. Today is the “official” RELEASE of the 7-Day Belly Blast Diet and to celebrate, Josh is having a big 3-day pre-sale and including a special belly-blasting bonus that will ONLY be available until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
2. This pre-sale is HIDDEN from the general public, at a special website page that has been set up ONLY for Josh’s closest fitness friends.

You see, the secret to this program is that it harnesses the power of 3 sneaky tricks to overcome the 3 biggest obstacles that are keeping you from achieving a flat belly fast.
And by the way, one of these sneaky tricks is a new technology Josh developed called “Calorie Confusion,” which ensures that you keep getting rapid fat loss results without hitting a plateau or experiencing that dreaded rebound.
And the crazy thing is, even though this isn’t a difficult program to follow, it’s still VERY powerful. The first people to experience this program dropped as much as 11 pounds of belly fat, excess water, and toxic waste in the very first 7 days.

Josh and Kim are NOT available for direct one-on-one coaching, but when you get The 7-Day Belly Blast Diet TODAY, you’ll get access to this LIVE call for *FREE*.
The truth is, I wouldn’t be recommending this program if I didn’t believe in it 100%.

3 Problems with Interval Training
By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Interval training is not as good as *they* make it out to be.
Seriously.
By *they*, I mean the inexperienced personal trainers and generic
fitness magazines who aren't sure what they are talking about.
In fact, the advice they'll give you can cause a LOT of problems
with your interval training -- including the BIG 3 I'm about to
share with you...
After all, you're probably already doing some form of interval
training, but what kind of RESULTS are you getting?
Are you truly enjoying your workouts?
When is the last time you did an interval training workout where you
thought 'Wow, that was really fun!'?
Trust me, you CAN have fun, fast, proven, and powerful interval
training workouts. I'll show you how in a second, but first...
The 3 Problems With Interval Training
1) Intervals can stop working if you do the same workout over & over
Yes, you MUST switch up your interval training every 4-6 weeks.
If you continue to do the same interval workout, you're results will
slow down.
So if you're doing intervals and you're stuck at a fat loss plateau,
then it is time for a new interval workout.
2) Intervals can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing
Jumping into an advanced interval program on the treadmill or with
kettlebells is a bad idea. That's why you need to start safely.
However, most people don't realize that even beginners can do
interval training if they get a professionally designed program.
Fortunately, there are beginner interval workouts in my new manual.
3) You don't know what else to do for intervals
Okay, great, now you know that you need to do a different interval
program every 4 weeks, but what are you to do?
Well, the great news is that there are dozens and dozens of ways to
do intervals. You can do the 30-60 method, Adrenaline intervals,
Tabata intervals, and even aerobic intervals (perfect for runners
who want fat loss).
There is absolutely no reason you should ever be bored of interval
training or wondering what type of intervals you should do next.
BUT WAIT...One more problem: You don't have any fancy equipment!
Most people think you need a treadmill or bike to do interval
workouts, but that can't be further from the truth.
In the 31 Interval Training Workouts manual, you'll discover how to
do intervals with kettlebells, hill sprints, and even bodyweight
exercises (including a NEW bodyweight cardio 5x5 circuit).
In fact, I've spent this summer in my "Turbulence Training lab"
creating the Ultimate Interval Training Guide, featuring over 31
different interval workouts and replacements...
...including NO-equipment bodyweight cardio circuits, kettlebell
intervals and "ladders", hill sprint workouts, and much, much more.
The new TT 31 Interval Training Workouts Manual solves all of the
BIG 5 problems with interval training and gives you the much needed
variety for your fat burning workouts.
But the only way to get these 31 NEW workouts is by taking advantage
of a 50% off sale this week ONLY here.
With these workouts you'll have the exact prescription for fast fat
loss from intervals. No more of that generic "get on the treadmill
and then go fast and then go slow" advice you get from uneducated
members at the gym or at work.
This is the real deal.
You'll soon be boosting your metabolism with proven, powerful
interval training workouts from one of the first trainers to
introduce fat loss intervals to the world.
I've been using and preaching intervals for over 13 years now, and
having trained thousand of clients - in person and online - I know
exactly what works.
Fixing intervals to help you lose fat fast. Get all of those new
interval workouts here.
Looking forward to your success story!
(But hurry, this offer is only available until Friday.)

Top 5 Fat Loss Tips
By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Men's Fitness magazine recently asked me for 3 of my best fat loss
secrets. Since most times the magazines just don't have enough space
to run my full tips, I thought I'd give you a more detailed
explanation of my secrets here (plus a few extra bonus tips that I
didn't send to the magazine).
Secret #1 - Focus on burning carbohydrate, not fat, during your
fat-loss workouts.
Sounds backwards, right? But not when you look at how I structure
my workouts. Remember that Turbulence Training focuses on resistance training
and interval training. Both of these use carbohydrate as the main
source of energy. So it's obvious the workout is designed to burn
carbohydrates during the training session. I have no interest in you trying to train in your "target heart
rate zone" for fat burning (aka - the fat burning zone). The whole
idea of a fat-burning zone is an over-simplified idea of how the
body works during exercise. Leave the inefficient fat burning zone to the mis-educated trainers
in the commercial gyms (that not surprisingly, also want to sell you
a heart rate monitor so you can stay in your "fat burning heart
rate zone"). If you want to get the most results in the least amount of time,
focus on burning carbohydrates, not fat. Why do my fat loss workouts focus on burning carbohydrate rather
than fat? In order to burn more calories after the workout, that's why. When
you exercise with intervals and heavy resistance training, your body
uses more calories in the hours after exercise than it would if you
did traditional cardio and lifted lighter weights. I call this 'Turbulence'. By any name it gives you the same results
- maximum improvements in your body composition (helping you lose
fat while gaining muscle).
Secret #2 - Use a range of repetitions in your strength training
workouts.
In order to train more muscle fibers and burn more carbohydrates, I
have clients use a range of repetitions within the same workout. The Turbulence Training workouts now use 6, 8, and 12 reps per set
in order to work the muscle the most effectively. This will burn more carbohydrates and promote as much muscle growth
as possible when you are keeping the calories low.
Secret #3 - Use the stationary cycle for interval training.
I choose the stationary bike for intervals whenever possible
because cycling against a resistance can help maintain muscle mass. Cycling against a resistance also allows you to perform a large
amount of mechanical work, and that is a key determinant of the Turbulence in my training. But please note: I don't use low-intensity, fast pedaling 'spinning'
intervals as I'm convinced that the hard, resistance based intervals are more effective for fat loss. My clients only cycle
against a strong resistance in their intervals. And while I really like the bike, but there are many other ways to
do intervals. Use what works for you, but if you are at a plateau, try the bike.
Secret #4 - Increase meal frequency
Okay, so this isn't really a secret to anyone that has read about
fat loss. But a 2005 study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
showed that eating 6 times per day was associated with eating fewer
calories per day, lowering cholesterol levels, and lowering
post-meal insulin levels. Combine an increased meal frequency with an increased protein and
fiber intake, and you'll see your body composition improve rapidly.

Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D.
See below for more details...
Secret #5 - My Synergistic Turbulence Training Workouts
My Turbulence Training Fat Loss workouts are fast becoming the most
effective way to burn fat, build muscle, and get lean. The
synergistic strength training-interval training workouts are
efficient and effective - getting you in and out of the gym in
under an hour. Here are some tips that you can use for an advanced training phase.
Use these advanced secrets for 2 weeks then return to your normal
training schedule:
a) Add 10 seconds to each interval but maintain the intensity
b) Add in some bodyweight circuits (10-20 minutes per day) done in
the morning or evening (if you do your regular workout in the AM, do
your bodyweight circuits after dinner; otherwise, do the bw circuits
first thing in the AM, and then do your regular workout at lunch or
later in the afternoon or evening)
If you are advanced, you can use squats, pushups, and bodyweight
rows for your circuit.
If you are a beginner, you could use lying hip extensions, modified
pushups, and stick-ups.
c) Add an extra set to each exercise in the first superset you do
in each workout.
Again, use these three tips for an advanced fat loss period of two
weeks, then return to a normal training schedule.
But always stick to the best fat loss nutrition plan possible.
If you have any other questions, just let me know.
Sincerely,
Craig Ballantyne

I have to say, I am loving this "almost" fall weather. I've been spending a lot of time outside soaking up some Vitamin D (sun)! BJ is loving it too. I have to drag her back to the house when it's time to go in for a while. When the weather changes just a little, my 10 year old dog, becomes a puppy again!
I have about 4 weeks at home now, so I plan to enjoy every moment of it. October will be slammed busy!
This week I've started doing a 5 minute mini set 1st thing in the morning, well after my 1st cup of coffee.
50 seconds squats, 10 seconds rest
50 seconds lunges, 10 seconds rest
50 seconds pull downs, 10 seconds rest
50 seconds push ups, 10 seconds rest
50 seconds plank, 10 seconds rest
Planks are the HARDEST for me!
I am going to start a weekly newsletter to include at least one article per week of the following:
1) exercise
2) nutrition
3) natural health
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Get outside and enjoy this fantastic weather!
