			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_33" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.pgaprogolfer.com/DietandExercise/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/skiier1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-33" title="Olympic skiier" src="http://www.pgaprogolfer.com/DietandExercise/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/skiier1-300x216.jpg" alt="Olympic skiier" width="300" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This could be you.</p></div>
<p>Winter is already upon us, so if you have not reached your goals in your <a title="TAA altern." href="http://j.mp/aof_14" target="_blank"><strong>weight loss program</strong></a>, click on the link to get in shape for the season.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss another powder day with an injury or weak legs that can&#8217;t ski more than a half day!</p>
<p>Every time I read a skiing magazine or see another so called expert recommending ski-specific workouts, I cringe…especially when I see some of the foolish exercises recommended! After all, isn&#8217;t the goal of an effective skier fitness training routine to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">reduce injuries</span> while simultaneously building incredible strength and endurance.?</p>
<p>Of course it is! We all want to tear up the slopes for as long as possible and as best we can, and avoid the dreaded ‘Jell-O-legs’ that might cut our day of skiing short, and also prevent nagging injuries that could cut the whole season short for us.</p>
<p>The problem I&#8217;ve seen with workout routines that are being recommended for skiers is that they  use inefficient exercises that don&#8217;t carry over that well to the actual skiing movements, and also might be setting someone up for an injury. Ff you&#8217;ve ever seen workout routines that recommend machine leg presses, machine leg extensions, and machine leg curls, please run screaming from the gym as fast as you can! That advice will set you up for injury, and certainly won&#8217;t help your goal of strength and endurance – one that&#8217;s actually applicable to the skiing movements.</p>
<p>The same can be said about authors recommending smith machine squats or any smith machine exercises whatsoever&#8230; they should all be avoided because smith machine movements follow unnatural movement patterns which are not bio mechanically correct and can create excessive stress on your back and injury to your knees.</p>
<p>Now what about wall squats – or ‘wall sits’? Although almost every skiing fitness program seems to recommend this exercise for skiers, I don&#8217;t find it to be optimal at all. However, I will say it&#8217;s a step in the right direction when compared to the machine-based exercises that I just mentioned. But wall squats are not a truly effective exercise that carries over directly to strength and endurance throughout the entire range of motion that your legs will use while skiing. This exercise can be mildly effective since even an isometric exercise held for endurance in one joint angle will still carry over to a slightly wider range of motion</p>
<p>Typical ski workout fitness routines they often neglect to achieve a proper joint and strength balance, that is, a proper strength ratio between quadriceps, and hamstrings. Although skiing demands a lot of work from your quadriceps and less work from your hamstrings and glutes, it is still vitally important for injury prevention to maintain proper strength ratios between all of the muscle groups of the lower body and also make sure the small stabilizer muscles around the joints are properly strengthened. It is just another factor  lacking in most skier workout programs.</p>
<p>For the advanced trainer, I suggest that you go to this site and take it to one level higher in your <a title="TAA order" href="http://j.mp/aof_12" target="_blank"><strong>weight training program.</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ Want to read a eye-opening fitness article? Then check this one out... it was sent to me by Jon Benson. I have his permission to forward it to you. Enjoy! ]</p>
<p>One of the most surprising benefits I&#8217;ve discovered for being engaged to a gal from the Middle East, other than the vast cultural exchange, is the cooking.</p>
<p>Oh, yes ladies&#8230; my gal COOKS!</p>
<p>Which is good since I am a lousy cook. : )</p>
<p>Hanna enjoys it&#8230; and she brings a Middle Eastern flair to some really boring fitness/bodybuilding foods that I want to share with you today.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s just two quick tips from Hanna on making the ultimate in &#8220;boring&#8221; foods &#8212; egg whites and tuna (yuck) &#8212; taste incredible.</p>
<p><strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.jonbenson.com/img/hannatips.gif" /></p>
<p>TIP 1:<br />
Lively Egg White Omelette</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face facts:  Egg whites suck. At least that&#8217;s what I USED to think until Hanna decided to experiment with my morning omelette.</p>
<p>Now I eat this stuff like it was candy.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what she does:</p>
<p>1. She cooks the veggies separate from the egg whites. You&#8217;d think this would be common sense, but I never did it and I&#8217;ve seen a lot of people just toss it all in together.</p>
<p>2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to the veggies. This alone improved the taste tremendously.</p>
<p>3. Add 1/2 egg yolk to the veggies after cooking for 1 minute. This, again, is primarily for taste.</p>
<p>4. Garlic!  If you love garlic, here&#8217;s your chance. Garlic ROCKS in egg white omelets.</p>
<p>5. Use Pam or another non-stick spray for the egg whites and cook them like you would a normal omelette. Then pour the almost-cooked veggies in the middle. Do the omelette dance.</p>
<p>6. Here&#8217;s the SECRET SAUCE&#8230; literally. This will sound nuts until you try it:</p>
<p><em>Shrimp Cocktail Sauce</em></p>
<p>Okay&#8230; Hanna&#8217;s bright, but this was an accident. She thought it was salsa. But I&#8217;ve NEVER gone back to salsa after stumbling on this incredible treat! I have no idea why it tastes so good, but it makes the omelette.</p>
<p>Try these tips and see if your egg white omelette doesn&#8217;t become your favorite meal of the day.</p>
<p><strong>TIP 2:<br />
Canned Tuna Extraordinaire</strong></p>
<p>Again, I have the lovely Hanna to thank for this.</p>
<p>Like egg whites, I used to HATE canned tuna. Now, again, I can eat this every night without complaint.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what she does:</p>
<p>She cooks the veggies the same way as in the omelette above and then pours the tuna from the can into a skillet. That&#8217;s IT.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never had &#8220;tuna ala skillet&#8221; before&#8230; and I have no clue why this tastes so smooth and delicious, but it does.</p>
<p>If you hate canned tuna for being dry or tasteless, try this. You&#8217;ll never go back.</p>
<p>If you want 40 pages of recipes like this&#8230; very yummy and VERY healthy&#8230; then be sure to pick up my EODD &#8220;Favorite Foods&#8221; Dieplan.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s more about it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip');return false;">Favorite Foods Diet + Recipes</a>  <-- click.here.for.more</p>
<p><strong>Remember:<br />
Don&#8217;t Quit. Get Fit!</strong></p>
<p>P.S.  Most of the recipes that come with my EODD book can be prepared in 15 minutes or less&#8230; so do not let the clock become your enemy when it comes to getting lean!</p>
<p>And remember:  You can eat your favorite foods several days per week on my plan and still get rid of excess bodyweight.</p>
<p>Why give up living when you don&#8217;t have to, right? : )</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ Sometimes I read an article so great I have to pass it along to all my readers. This recent post by fitness expert Jon Benson is one of those articles. See if it doesn&#039;t help you with your motivational goals. Thanks! ]</p>
<p>Several recent studies have pointed to the validity of doing very short cardio sessions (10 minutes) several times a day as being as beneficial&#8230; or even better&#8230; than one longer session. I agree, assuming you do some form of interval work in your cardio sessions. In fact, unless you want to drop a lot of bodyfat, you can get by with one 9-minute session a day if you do it right.</p>
<p>Quick Start: Try three super-short sessions with at least a 2-3 minute higher-intensity &#8216;burst&#8217; in the middle. You do not have to go to the gym to do this. You can do this by walking stairs, stepping up and down on a low platform, or even walking outside. Let&#8217;s face it: 10 minutes is a lot easier on the brain than 30 minutes&#8230; and just as good.</p>
<p>For More Information: When you pick up my book <a href="http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip');return false;">The Every Other Day Diet</a> you&#8217;ll have a chance to get my book <a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 Minute Body</a> <strong>for 1/3 the retail price</strong> for a limited time only. </p>
<p>In 7 Minute Body, I cover my personal 9 and 15-minute cardio sessions, my 3-minute abs workout (no kidding&#8230; I do not train my abs for more than 3 minutes!) and more. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ You learn something new every day, right? Well, today I learned something exciting from fitness author Jon Benson. He has given me now to forward it to you. Let me know what you think by commenting below! ]</p>
<p>One of the biggest myths out there is the myth that eating healthy costs too much.</p>
<p>Just the opposite&#8230; and I&#8217;ll prove it to you in three ways.</p>
<h2>#1:  Cash</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s some sample figures courtesy of my friend Scott Tousignant&#8217;s fitness blog&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>2 medium size sweet potatoes $1 or… small fries from a fast food joint</p>
<p>2 red peppers $1 or… a can of pop</p>
<p>Bowl of oatmeal with fruit &#038; protein powder $2 or… large bag of chips</p>
<p>6 Chicken Breasts $10 or… a sub combo from a fast food joint</p>
<p>18 eggs $3.50 or… a burger from a fast food joint</p>
<p>2 salmon fillets $15 or… large pizza</p>
<p>Loaded chicken salad (homemade) $3 or… bag of cookies</p>
<p>Large bag of oatmeal $3.50 or… 4 chocolate bars</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not much of a comparison, it is?</p>
<p>Yet the foods on the left would feed a family of two or more for 4-7 days&#8230; the foods on the right? 2-3 days if you live through it.</p>
<p>Tips to make the most expensive part of eating healthy &#8212; the cost of quality meats &#8212; go further include&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Use tofu fillers in chicken and beef recipes. Even if you hate tofu, you can barely taste the difference when combined properly.</p>
<p>2. Buy your meats in bulk online. You can find less expensive grass-fed beef and naturally-raised chicken and have it delivered to you if you live near a large city. If not, check the local farmers.</p>
<p>3. Eat meat only 3-4 times per week and use black beans with rice or inexpensive tuna for your other days. I eat tuna cooked in a skillet with lots of veggies and some olive oil almost every night and I LOVE the taste!</p>
<p>My book <a href="http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip');return false;">The Every Other Day Diet</a> has over 40 pages of recipes in it to help you eat healthy and cheap&#8230; and you can still eat out and consume your favorite foods several times per week.</p>
<h2>#2:  Your Health</h2>
<p>Do we &#8216;really&#8217; need to talk about buy new (usually larger) clothes every year or two? Or about the health care costs associated with being even 20 pounds over your ideal weight, let alone more? How about the time you miss from work with excessive colds?</p>
<p>Eating healthy and taking care of your body adds years to your life&#8230; and for the record, the years eating poorly takes away from your life, on average, costs each American over 80,000 in medical expenses.</p>
<p>Want to add that to your food budget?</p>
<h2>#3: The Big Picture</h2>
<p>Anyone who has been fit knows the joy it brings&#8230; the freedom you feel from wearing whatever you want&#8230; the productivity you see from increased energy&#8230; the pace at which you move during the day.</p>
<p>Not only are these gifts priceless, but they are also massive cash-savers. Your productivity alone can add thousands to your bottom line each year, well off-setting any costs associated with eating quality food.</p>
<h2>The Bottom Line&#8230;</h2>
<p>Like any good accountant would suggest, you need to look at your ROI (return on investment) if nothing else.</p>
<p>What does investing in a better body, greater health, and vibrant energy do for your life? How can that actually translate into more income AND less expense?</p>
<p>You will be surprised.</p>

Don&#8217;t Quit. Get Fit!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ I love reading  fitness articles... and this one by Jon Benson fits the bill. You really must check this out... enjoy! }</p>
<p><strong>Caution</strong>:</p>
<p>This sounds like a silly question, but it&#8217;s really the most important question you can ask:</p>
<p>     <strong>&#8220;What REALLY makes me increase my bodyfat?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Is it too many calories?  Sure. That&#8217;s one part. But I know people who can eat 4-5K calories a day and not add an ounce.</p>
<p>Is it dietary fat? Rarely if ever.</p>
<p>Fat is necessary to melt bodyfat. It is true that fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbs, but let&#8217;s look at this logically:</p>
<p>40% protein; 40% carbs; 20% fat = 40% fat; 40% protein; 20% carbs</p>
<p>So&#8230; no. Increasing your dietary fat does not mean you&#8217;ll get fatter&#8230;</p>
<p>UNLESS&#8230; ready?</p>
<p>  <strong>   Your insulin levels are too high.</strong></p>
<p>Elevated insulin is not only the prime cause of diabetes and a sign of being hypoglycemic, but it&#8217;s also the prime numero uno reason people get fat.</p>
<p>     And insulin is stimulated most by too many carbohydrates&#8230; even the so-called &#8220;healthy carbs!&#8221;</p>
<p>HOWEVER&#8230; ready again?</p>
<p>     You can still eat carbs&#8230; you do not need a &#8220;low-carb&#8221; dietplan every day in order to keep your insulin and bodyfat low.</p>
<p>You just have to know what TIME to eat the carbs.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a time and place for everything and carbs are no exception.</p>
<p>I have a presentation here that tells you more about how important timing is and how you can eat your carbs (even sweets) and shed bodyfat&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip');return false;">The EODD System</a> <--<strong>carb-friendly dietplan</strong></p>
<p>That being said:</p>
<p>If I had to cut one thing out of my diet for 1-4 days it would definitely be carbs.</p>
<p>I need fat&#8230; fat helps melt bodyfat&#8230; and I have trained my body to use its own fat-stores for fuel.</p>
<p>( See how on the linked-page above )</p>
<p>I DEFINITELY need protein&#8230; and so do you.</p>
<p>Protein speeds up thermogenesis, or your body&#8217;s own fat-burning heat factory.</p>
<p>Protein also blunts your appetite so you naturally eat less.</p>
<p>Some carbs are healthy&#8230; and I do not recommend you cut out low-sugar fruits and green veggies&#8230; you need that stuff.</p>
<p>But you don&#8217;t need grains, breads, etc.</p>
<p>At least for a few days.</p>
<p>THEN&#8230; you need them&#8230; but only after you do two things.</p>
<p>Find out more here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip');return false;">The EODD System</a> <--<strong>carb-friendly dietplan</strong></p>
<p>Remember: Don&#8217;t Quit. Get Fit!</p>
<p>P.S.  My favorite &#8220;Feed Meal&#8221; (that&#8217;s what I call meals where I eat a lot of calories and carbs) is this:</p>
<p>     Small serving of protein (1/2 my normal      serving size) like chicken, tuna, etc.</p>
<p>     Brown rice or baked potato</p>
<p>     Slice of pecan pie (or Key Lime pie&#8230; yum.)</p>
<p>Then later that day I&#8217;ll have a few slices of New York-style pizza.</p>
<p>The next day I&#8217;m LEANER. It never fails.</p>
<p>The only time this can fail is if you do not set your body UP to receive these carbs and some junk food.</p>
<p>I call this my &#8220;Real World Favorite Foods Dietplan.&#8221;  That&#8217;s not the name of my System but it could be!  That&#8217;s exactly what it is.</p>
<p>I love it&#8230; so will you&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/AForsberg?page=1tip');return false;">The EODD System</a> <--<strong>carb-friendly dietplan</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ There is a  of bogus weight loss and fitness information out there. That&#039;s why reading Jon Benson&#039;s articles makes sense... and his newest article (which I have his  to  you) really rocked my world. Check it out... ]</p>
<p>Abs.</p>
<p>Everyone wants a tighter tummy.</p>
<p>Guys want a six-pack&#8230; ladies want a slim, firm waistline&#8230; and yes, some want a six-pack too.</p>
<p>Why be sexist?  ; )</p>
<p>So needless to say people are freaked out to find that I train my abs in about 3 minutes.</p>
<p>Total.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute workouts</a>  <---discount</p>
<p>Let me give you the dirty facts about my abs.</p>
<p>They are the worst part of my body&#8230; and one of the best parts at the same time.</p>
<p>The &#8220;worst&#8221; bit has nothing to do with muscles or even bodyfat most of the time&#8230; but SKIN.</p>
<p>Remember, I was obese&#8230; 46-inch waist and 38 percent bodyfat.</p>
<p>So my skin got pretty messed up. It never quite recovered from that and I have a &#8220;bit&#8221; of loose skin around my abs.</p>
<p>Drives me nuts. I may have it removed! ; )</p>
<p>But other than THAT&#8230; my abs are pretty good.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a pretty recent shot (after a workout taken with an iPhone&#8230; so hardly a professional shot&#8230; but you get the idea&#8230; )</p>
<p><img src="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/images/jon_gym_bw.jpg" alt="Jon's Abs" /></p>
<p>This is after THREE MINUTES of ab training done 2-3 times a week.</p>
<p>Let me spell out my thoughts on this:</p>
<p>     If you are training your abs longer      than 7 minutes a week you are doing      something wrong&#8230; or you&#8217;re just      wasting your time.</p>
<p>Sorry to break it to you, but abs develop fast.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the BODYFAT you need to focus on.</p>
<p>Still, you need abs&#8230; and my HDT-Style Training in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle will get you those abs uber-fast:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute workouts</a>  <&#8212;about HDT</p>
<p>Go watch and read how it works now.</p>
<p>Before you do, let me give you a substitute exercise for one of the three I recommend during my &#8220;3-Minute Abs&#8221; routine (found in both books on the page above.)</p>
<p>Hanging leg raises&#8230; they are the best when done the way I show you in my book.</p>
<p>BUT some people do not have the gym or the straps I recommend.</p>
<p>So do this instead:  Leg raises on a Swiss Ball, bench or even off the floor.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Then and ONLY then lower the legs slowly.</p>
<p>If you do this right there&#8217;s no way to get more than 15 reps. I get about 8 before my abs give out!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all it takes. You do NOT need &#8220;high reps&#8221; to develop your abs. In fact LOW reps work better&#8230;</p>
<p>You just need resistance&#8230; and my way of training gives you plenty.</p>
<p>This means a LOT less time doing the exercises and a LOT MORE time enjoying the nice set of tummy muscles you&#8217;ve built.</p>
<p>Sounds like a plan.</p>
<p>P.S.  Here&#8217;s the latest for those interested in my ongoing legal issues with selling rights to a publisher.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This was supposed to happen today&#8230; 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.</p>
<p>The president leaves town tonight-Sunday.</p>
<p>SO NOW&#8230; I can extend my half-price (more than half-off the Advanced Videos!) for a few more days&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; so go here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute workouts</a>  <&#8212;discount</p>
<p>P.P.S.  In case you&#8217;re wondering, this is not a clever marketing ploy&#8230; 7MM and 7MB are both being acquired by a publisher.</p>
<p>The recognize the amazing benefits this style of workouts offer anyone at any age&#8230; fatburning and muscle-shaping&#8230;</p>
<p>Otherwise they would not be writing such a nice check&#8230; : )</p>
<p>I bought a Jeep with it. So it&#8217;s not making me a millionaire or anything, but it&#8217;s nice to have my hard work rewarded!</p>
<p>Even nicer than that, I get the chance to almost give away my &#8220;baby&#8221; to you if you don&#8217;t have it already&#8230;</p>
<p>When the deal is done, here is what you can expect to happen:</p>
<p>1. The page below WILL change, and that includes the price&#8230; they think the price is not right. (I think that means too low&#8230; ha&#8230; ; )</p>
<p>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.)</p>
<p>3. The book will end up in some bookstore eventually&#8230; and that&#8217;s FINE unless they want to alter the content&#8230; which I have a provision to prevent.</p>
<p>Sorry to ramble on about this, but I want you to know the integrity of the guy sending you emails every day&#8230;</p>
<p>Sure, I like to make a living. Who doesn&#8217;t?</p>
<p>But I won&#8217;t sell my soul to do it.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t give up what I KNOW works to make a buck or two&#8230; so that means I maintain TOTAL creative control over these books even after the publishers take over.</p>
<p>In fact I&#8217;m negotiating a position WITH this firm so I can make SURE I maintain control&#8230; and folks, I HATE working for other people!</p>
<p>But it is worth it&#8230; IF I can keep the quality of the materials where they are.</p>
<p>And they are 100% solid.</p>
<p>And right now they are 200% cheaper than normal&#8230; so if you don&#8217;t know what all the fuss is about with all of this &#8220;7 minute workout&#8221; stuff (I prefer the 14-minute advanced workouts, which you can get too) &#8230;</p>
<p>then hop over here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute workouts</a>  <&#8212;discount</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ This article by Jon Benson cuts through the got super-motivated after reading that is floating about in cyberspace when it comes to weight loss and fitness. I fat-loss expert Jon Benson. you give it a read! It&#039;s worth 5 minutes... trust me! ]</p>
<p>All this past week I&#8217;ve been telling you about this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute Workouts here</a>  <---new.page</p>
<p>This is all about how shorter workouts (7-14 minutes) are better for fatloss AND muscle gain than longer workouts.</p>
<p>Naturally this freaks a lot of people out.</p>
<p>When they see me they assume I train for hours a day.</p>
<p>Wrong. I work out about 3 hours a week total in the gym when I&#8217;m not preparing for a photoshoot. When I am I increase the cardio&#8230; that&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>However, I spend HALF the year training about 1.5 hours a week in the gym using my 7 Minute Muscle workouts.</p>
<p>I like training longer, so I mix it up&#8230; 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 &#8216;nothing&#8217; but 7MM.</p>
<p>More here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute Workouts here</a>  <---new.page</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been getting swamped with questions about one thing in particular:</p>
<p>    WHY are shorter workouts better for fatloss?</p>
<p>The secret behind this is a trademarked term (by me&#8230; : )</p>
<p>    <strong> HDT<br />
     &#8220;Hyper-Density Training&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>HDT is the most unique form of density training there is.</p>
<p>Density training is basically more work in less time.</p>
<p>This creates the demand for more energy.</p>
<p>More energy spent = greater fatloss.</p>
<p>More energy demanded = more lean muscle.</p>
<p>     All of this in 7-14 minutes per day.</p>
<p>     3-5 days per week.</p>
<p>I made a new website about HDT to explain it.</p>
<p>Go here now&#8230; </p>
<p>this comes down in a few days:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 and 14-Minute Workouts here</a>  <&#8212;about HDT</p>
<p>P.S.  HDT works for everyone, even those who workout in their home without weights.</p>
<p>Just by going to the new page you&#8217;ll learn how to use the principles behind HDT (freee) to help you with your workouts&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and you can also get the &#8220;last-call&#8221; for my System that covers HDT and brevity training in detail&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; for a massive discount&#8230;</p>

<p>When I wrote &#8220;7 Minute Muscle&#8221; and &#8220;7 Minute Body&#8221; (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought I was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor.</p>
<p>I was right&#8230; and I was wrong.</p>
<p>I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages.</p>
<p>I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle:</p>
<p>     THIS makes people THINNER&#8230;</p>
<p>     <a href="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/AForsberg');return false;">7 Minute Body workouts</a>  <&#8211; fastest bodyshaping workout EVER</p>
<p>The short version of the science behind why this happens and a sample workout routine is included in today&#8217;s newsletter.</p>
<p>Yep: the workout I intended people to use for building muscle turned into one of the fastest ways to melt body fat.</p>
<p>Weird.</p>
<p>I say &#8220;weird&#8221;&#8230; it&#8217;s not that weird to me. I know why it works so well. But it was kinda weird for my readers.</p>
<p>     The secret is density training.</p>
<p>Density is basically getting the most amount of work done in the least amount of time. More work in less time = more energy.</p>
<p>     More energy spent = greater fatloss.</p>
<p>Fatloss (and muscle-shaping) is not an issue of length of time as much as it is an issue of work divided by time.</p>
<p>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&#8230; so much so that we store incredible amounts of fat from consuming too many of the &#8220;fast-fuel&#8221; foods.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the basics behind density training.</p>

<p>Want a practical example? Great&#8230; let&#8217;s look at a 7 Minute Muscle chest workout followed by a 7 Minute Muscle &#8220;GXP&#8221; Cardio workout.</p>
<p>     Your total workout time:  A whopping 16 minutes.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s &#8220;TOTAL&#8221; workout and cardio time, minus a short warm-up.</p>
<p>After your warm-up, you would start with the first of two &#8220;Phases&#8221;:</p>
<p>The first 5 minutes is called The Power Phase.</p>
<p>This is followed by The Mass Phase (Mass is for adding lean muscle) which last only 2 minutes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Your repetitions will be a maximum of 5 for your Power Phase using a weight that&#8217;s about 60% of your normal 5-rep max. You will rest as little as possible between sets.</p>
<p>The first few sets will feel light, but as time progresses this &#8220;light&#8221; 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&#8230; and that&#8217;s GOOD.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what we want:  As many repetitions as you can get during 5 minutes, but never exceeding FIVE repetitions, during your Power Phase.</p>
<p>Your rest intervals are up to YOU&#8230; you can rest a short or as long as you need.</p>
<p>     This is a very creative and personal workout!</p>
<p>Your goal is simple:  Get more TOTAL reps (called &#8220;Aggregate Repetitions&#8221;, or &#8220;AR&#8221;) than your previous workout.</p>
<p>This is what makes 7 Minute Muscle so unique: The progression is built-in.</p>
<p>Most people fail to progress in the gym because they simply do not track their workouts carefully enough.</p>
<p>With 7 Minute Muscle you don&#8217;t have to track an entire workout:  Only ONE number. The total number of repetitions, or your &#8220;AR&#8221;.</p>
<p>Simple!</p>
<p>Your Power Phase for a chest workout may look like this:</p>
<p>EXERCISE:<br />
Incline Machine Press (upper chest)</p>
<p>5 reps (rest 20 seconds)<br />
5 reps (rest 15 seconds)<br />
4 reps (rest 20 seconds)<br />
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)<br />
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)<br />
1 rep (rest 20 seconds)<br />
1 rep (end)</p>
<p>]Total AR:       22 reps<br />
Total Time:  5 minutes</p>
<p>Your goal next time is to get 23 repetitions using the same weight. Once you can get 5 repetitions every set it&#8217;s time to increase the weight for this movement.</p>
<p>You would then move to your Mass Phase (2 minutes) which would be a different chest exercise for TEN repetitions.</p>
<p>Same goal, same principles apply&#8230; beat your previous AR.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You end your 7 minute workout with &#8220;GXP&#8221; Cardio. This is 9 minutes long&#8230; that&#8217;s it!  But your body is primed to melt off a lot of fat after your 7 minutes of intense weight training&#8230; and you will drop the fat if you do this workout right.</p>
<p>You start with 3 minutes on the exercise device of your choice (I prefer the treadmill.)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You stay at this level for just 3 minutes.</p>
<p>Then you cool down for 3 minutes.</p>
<p>     That&#8217;s IT.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s your entire cardio workout and weight-training workout&#8230; all in 16 minutes (about 20 with a warm-up.)</p>
<p>And you will progress faster, burn a lot more fat, and save SO much time you may have to take up a new hobby!</p>
