HDT: Hyper-Density Training (More Results in Less Time!)
[ Note: Another great post by fitness and nutrition author, Jon Benson, that I thought you might find very interesting. I have his permission to share it with you. ] All this past week I’ve been telling you about this: 7 and 14-Minute Workouts here < ---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: 7 and 14-Minute Workouts here < ---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: 7 and 14-Minute Workouts here < —about HDT P.S. HDT works for everyone, … Continue reading
The Best 16-Minute Workout EVER
[ Note: Another great post by fitness and nutrition author, Jon Benson, that I thought you might find very interesting. I have his permission to share it with you. ] When I wrote “7 Minute Muscle” and “7 Minute Body” (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought I 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… 7 Minute Body workouts < – fastest bodyshaping workout EVER The short version of the science behind why this happens and a sample workout routine is included in today’s newsletter. Yep: the workout I intended people to use for building muscle turned into one of the fastest ways to melt body fat. Weird. I say “weird”… it’s not that weird to me. I know why it works so well. But it was kinda weird for my readers. 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 … Continue reading
FDA Nukes Yet Another B.S. Weight Loss Pill…YES!
[ Note: Another great post by fitness and nutrition author, Jon Benson, that I thought you might find very interesting. I have his permission to share it with you. ] I took a big, huge, massive sigh of relief today. Finally… the FDA did something right when it comes to bogus “magic” diet-fatburn pills. A panel of experts reviewed Vivus Inc.’s new wonder-pill “Qnexa” today. They gave it the thumbs-down. Why? Oh… pesky little reported side-effects like… (are you ready for this?)… Heart Attacks Stroke Increased Risk of Suicide (yikes!) Memory/Concentration Loss You know… “minor” stuff like that. GEEZ. What the hell are these drug companies thinking? Oh, right… Quick-Fix = Big-Bucks Got it. So, I am going to believe that YOU are much smarter than the morons who tried to get this drug past the FDA. I’m going to assume you want a solution to this obesity pandemic and your own fatloss issues (if you have them) that do NOT involve risking your life for a thinner you. “Oh, Marge… she looks so thin in her casket…” THIS IS NOT A GOOD EULOGY! : ) Listen: I get it. I really do. I’m an athlete and we are always looking for tricks to help increase our performance. But your body is simply too smart for these fatloss-pills people are trying to pass off as “a break-through medical discovery.” Nonsense… more like heart-breaking medical waste of time. One day… perhaps even in my lifetime… someone will invent a chemical that actually works to shed bodyfat without harming the body. That will be a great day for all of us. Even so, I can all but promise you that this chemical will have its nasty side-effects and/or be limited in duration or power. Nothing, repeat NOTHING you can pop in your … Continue reading
3 tricks to suppress your appetite
[ Note: Another great post by fitness and nutrition author, Jon Benson, that I thought you might find very interesting. I have his permission to share it with you. ] Another good article appeared today in the fitness section of MSNBC. Since you’re busy, I’ll do a quick summary of the article — the good stuff, the bad stuff, and what you need to do today to get started… First, you need to know this… And this will probably shock you… Rarely, if EVER, do you need to suppress your appetite! The real secret is to increase your metabolism… the rate at which your body uses food for fuel. Then being hungry is a good thing… as long as you’re eating the right foods at the right time. My “Favorite Foods” plan is a great way to do this… My “Favorite Foods” Dietplan revealed < == click. But let’s say you want to curb your appetite at night…. that’s the time most people really lose it on a dietplan. Even on a plan that ASKS you to eat frequently like mine, there are times where night-time cravings need to be put to sleep. So use these tips from the article to ease the urge to eat at night: 1. Protein First As I say in my dietplan, “Rise and shine with protein.” What does this have to do with night-time cravings you ask? Everything. Set the body up to use your own fat-stores for fuel by eating protein in the morning and your appetite FOR fatty foods goes way down during the day and the night. Protein is “thermogenic”, meaning it helps increase your metabolism. It also acts as a natural appetite regulator. Notice I said “regulator” and not “suppressant.” That’s because you only need to regulate your appetite, no … Continue reading
