How to ELIMINATE PAIN… without medication!

lewis — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:30:07 +0000

If you're anything like me, PAIN is no stranger to you.

Now that I've grown old-er (emphasis on the "-er"!), it seems like it's a constant battle between neck pain… back pain… joint pain… muscle pain… etc.

There's a very good reason for this…

Most pain in your body is caused by "inflammation".

Inflammation, although it causes pain and swelling, is your body's way of actually promoting healing by calling upon your body's own natural healing mechanisms.

However, as we age, your body doesn't manage inflammation very well.

Why?

Your body's main defense against inflammation is through the production of what are called "Proteolytic Enzymes".

These little "pain fighters" directly control inflammation and when the inflammation is gone, the pain also goes away.

Unfortunately, after the age of 25, our own natural production of these enzymes begins to decline.

That's why as we age, we "feel" more pain. Inflammation runs rampant and we have less of our own natural enzymes to deal with it.

So if you're like most people, what do you do?

You start popping pills, right?

Prescription meds from your doctor… over-the-counter NSAID's (like Advil)… anything to stop the pain and make life manageable!

It's INSANE!

I mean remember… your body is DESIGNED TO HEAL ITSELF!

Yet we try to compensate for our body's own natural pain defenses by simply MASKING the pain with dangerous medications.

(Case in point: NSAID's – like Advil – put over 100,000
people in the hospital each year…and KILL over 16,000 a year!)

So what CAN you do to get rid of the pain without destroying your health in the process?

The answer is so SIMPLE that you'll almost laugh…

All you have to do is REPLACE your body's own natural inflammation fighters and you eliminate the pain!

You see, the proteolytic enzymes your body is deficient in can actually be replenished very easily.

It's 100% safe and natural, and here's the kicker…

Not only do these enzymes take away the pain and inflammation…

…enzymes actually HEAL the source of your pain!

That means long term relief from pain and not just the short-term "band-aid meds" most doctors will prescribe!

Look, you want to get rid of the pain, right?

You don't want to destroy your liver and body with dangerous
prescription meds and over-the-counter NSAID's, right?

You want to nurture your body's own NATURAL healing process,
right?

Of course you do.

Then what if I told you you could actually "test" this
all-natural "enzyme therapy" yourself and start getting rid of
the pain right away…

7 Simple Rules For What You Should Be Eating Right Now

lewis — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:29:27 +0000

What you eat on a daily basis determines just about everything you can possibly imagine that goes with your body…your health, mental energy, body composition, athletic performance…you name it and what you eat has an impact on it.

These 7 simple rules are here to give you a little nudge in the right direction and make things a little easier for you in your own daily choices.

Rule #1 – If your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize it, don't eat very much of it

Many of the highly-processed pseudo-foods weren't around 50 years ago. Food was more "real" back then and it's an ideal you should strive for now. This basically means choose foods that are less processed and closer to their natural state. Notice I didn't say "don't eat it"…which leads me to Rule #2…

Rule #2 – No food ultimatums

The moment you say "I will never have pizza again," you will immediately start thinking about how much you miss having pizza, even if you hardly eat pizza to begin with. It's like telling somebody not to think about elephants…you just did it, didn't you . Same idea with food. That's why I never tell myself I can never have something…if I've got a specific goal and that food won't help me achieve it, I just say it's not on my list right now and I can have it later. No big deal.

Rule #3 – Don't keep junk in the house

And don't tell me you need to have junk food and sweets in the house "for the kids." If it's really for the kids, lock it up in a closet and give your kids the keys so you can't get at any of it then tell me if it's for the kids. Here's the other thing…your kids don't need that junk either!

Anyway, off on a tangent there – that's one excuse that gets me really whipped up. Bottom line is this…if you don't have it in the house, it takes a lot more effort to eat it. If it's in the house, it'll get eaten. If it's not, it won't. Simple.

Rule #4 – Multi-course meals will wipe out your digestion

The more different foods you eat in one meal, the harder it will be for your body to digest it all. Different foods and nutrients require different enzymes to digest…by combining too many foods in one meal, you will overload your digestive system and make it less efficient. If you frequently have digestive issues when you eat, try something radical and eat just one food per meal and see what happens. This is especially true of fruit and dairy. Fruit is best eaten separately and by itself.

Rule #5 – You don't have to eat 6 meals a day

That "small, frequent meals" rule you may be familiar with is actually based on a study that showed a very small increase in metabolic rate when a person eats a meal. This evolved into the idea that eating a bunch of small meals helps increase fat loss and nutrient utilization.

Naturally, this was immediately seized upon my supplement manufacturers who promoted the idea that you can't possibly eat FOOD that many times a day, so you should take our meal replacement supplement for those extra 3 meals.

Here's the thing…no study has ever confirmed that it's more efficient to eat 6 small meals as opposed to 3 big meals (or even 2!) in terms of body composition results. ZERO. Think about this…if you're constantly supplying your body with food, why would it need to burn bodyfat for energy then?

Rule #6 – Try to eat organic whenever possible

It's true…eating healthy can actually be pretty expensive. Unhealthy foods are generally cheaper because they can be manufactured in large quantities. Healthy foods are more expensive because they are more labor-intensive.

The payoff is that you won't die as soon when you eat healthy foods as opposed to unhealthy foods. I know that's putting it bluntly, but it's true. And you won't suffer from all the food-related diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and MANY others (honestly, the vast majority of diseases and conditions being treated by doctors today are entirely avoidable with a good diet).

So when it comes to eating organic, just do the best you can. Get it when you can and realize this…when a food is of higher quality, it's more digestible and you're going to get more nutrition out of it and you can eat smaller servings (at least that's what I keep telling myself when I eat grass-fed beef…DANG is that tasty…it's hard not to eat twice as much of it).

Rule #7 – Take supplements intelligently

I judge supplements primarily on their nutritional value, not for how many bolts of lightning appear in their magazine ads. The majority of the supplements I take are there to help support my nutritional state, not to muck with my physiology.

I take a multivitamin, protein, vitamin C, vitamin D3 (for immune system function – VERY important in the winter!), magnesium, krill oil, fish oil, BCAA's, K2, calcium, and a few other things, depending on my current goals. All that exotic garbage you see ads for in the magazines is mainly just that…exotic garbage. You don't need it.

Conclusion:

These 7 rules are just a starting point…the key thing to remember is that good nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. If you know and follow some simple rules, you can eat healthy and nutritious food without worry and get the results you're looking for!

The Energy and Weight Loss Connection Nobody Talks About

lewis — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:03:09 +0000

http://www.atoztoptrainers.com

Your level of energy every day is determined by how much ATP your mitochondria create so that the proper enzymes can be activated to make our bodies move and function properly. This can effect your healthy weight loss since you may not have the energy to commit 100% to your exercise for calorie burning workouts.

The amount of ATP your mitochondria create is determined by genetics, exercise level, your nutritional status and thyroid activity. Of course you can’t change your genetics, but as we always talk about you can dictate and control your exercise and nutritional status.

I bet you didn’t know that as you age the number of mitochondria in your cells decreases in efficiency by about 5-8 percent every ten years. This is one of the main reasons why you have less energy the older you get. One easy way to reverse this is by exercising. Those who exercise have more mitochondria, which means more potential for energy and the ability to burn more calories for healthy weight loss.

Your thyroid also plays a role in mitochondria activity and for those that have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism knows what I am talking about. Those with hypothyroidism can suffer a 60 percent reduction in ATP production and suffer from low energy and fatigue. Iodine deficiency has a correlation with low thyroid function and some believe up to 50 percent of the population is iodine deficient. The reason for this is because changes in our food intake, eating patterns, and food production methods. Iodine levels have been decreasing since the 1970’s. Since iodine is required to produce thyroid hormones and we are consuming less iodine in our food the result is hypothyroidism or low thyroid activity. This doesn’t bode well for healthy weight loss. In fact weight loss may stop all together and weight gain starts to occur. So take a good whole food multivitamin that contains iodine preferably from sea vegetables such as kelp to make sure you are not causing low thyroid activity because of your nutritional habits.

Another factor that contributes to low ATP production is oxidative damage to the mitochondria. A deficiency of antioxidants increases this rate of oxidative damage to the mitochondria. Several antioxidant nutrients can be used to protect the mitochondria from oxidative damage. Some common powerful antioxidants are green tea and coffeeberry forte.

I already talked about how our food intake, eating patterns and food production methods are influencing our thyroid production and deficiency in iodine. Well other deficiencies that are common include niacin, biotin, pyridoxine (B6), riboflavin (B2), manganese and zinc. These are commonly deficient due to our poor diets and nutrient depleted foods. Even more reason why a quality whole food based multivitamin is essential for your mitochondria to function properly and produce plenty of ATP for energy.

One last nutrient I want to touch on that isn’t required for essential health, but has been proven effective in promoting healthy mitochondrial function is Alpha lipoic acid. Alpha lipoic acid is a cofactor in the Krebs cycle, which is part of your body’s ATP system. This nutrient also stimulates the production of glutathione, which is a mitochondrial antioxidant. Research has shown that supplementation of alpha lipoic acid in humans may increase mitochondrial function and reduce mitochondrial damage.

As you can see many factors play a role for you to succeed in healthy weight loss. It is also hard to consistently know that you are eating enough nutrient rich foods to consume all these nutrients each and every day. That is why a whole food based multivitamin that contains many of these nutrients is essential for your healthy weight loss. A quality whole based multivitamin isn’t going to directly burn more calories for you like a weight loss supplement may do, but what it does is allow your body to function optimally so that you can exercise harder, create more ATP and burn more calories, which then can lead to healthy weight loss.

Make a resolution right now to make sure you are providing the best opportunity for your body to produce ATP and optimize your body to assist with healthy weight loss.

You don’t have to take a quality whole food based multivitamin, but maybe you’ll want to maximize your body’s ATP production so you can have more energy and lose more weight.

1 Weird Belly Flab Buster

lewis — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:24:17 +0000

1 Weird Belly Flab Buster

Ok, I don't mean to get too scientific, but this is super important. You see, while busting the belly flab does take effort, it's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be.

Seriously, the most important part of the process is arming yourself with the CORRECT knowledge. If you know how your body works…why it stores belly flab…what actually causes it to burn off…you're a whole lot better off.

Now, I know there are a ton of so-called experts out there that are confusing the heck out of you. I know a lot of people tell you different things. It can be as frustrating as all get out. But if you follow these simple rules and burn them into your brain things will be a lot different.

Anyway, let's get to today's easy lesson. Check this out:

- Increased Protein intake triggers the hormone Glucagon.

- This, in turn, prevents the spiking of your Insulin (which is also a hormone) levels.

- Which simply means you minimize the chance of storing blood sugar as fat.

In other words, eat more protein and you bust the belly flab. Sure, there's more to it than that, but that is the crux of it. And so long as you understand the basics you can KEEP the belly flab from coming back.

When you only eat carbs your Insulin levels go through the roof. And all that blood sugar (that's what the carbs turn into after you've eaten them) which isn't needed by your body MUST go somewhere. Yup, it goes to your belly; or your butt; or your hips; or your thighs…

The best part is, it's not very hard to consume more protein. In fact, it's pretty darn easy. A high quality protein powder will do just the trick.

As you've probably heard, my buddies over at Prograde Nutrition have launched their new Prograde Protein powder. What you may not have heard is it tastes great AND it does NOT use any artificial sweeteners. It’s naturally flavored with Stevia. Grab a bottle TODAY here. and make it easy to get more protein in your eating plan.

Yours in health,
Team Prograde

PS – I cannot recommend Prograde Protein highly enough. These guys create the highest quality products out there.

Excess Abdominal Fat is Not Only Ugly, but Extremely Dangerous to Your Health – This is More Than a Vanity Issue!

lewis — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:58:38 +0000

The difference between subcutaneous fat and the more deadly "visceral fat"

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer
author of best-selling program: The Truth about Six-Pack Abs

Although this picture depicts an extremely overweight man, this article applies to dangerous types of fat inside the bodies of both men and women… and this discussion also applies even if you only have a slight amount of excess stomach fat.

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? It's true – as much as 70% of the population in some "westernized" countries such as the US and Australia are now considered either overweight or obese. The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body

However, what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly determined that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that "beer belly" appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.

Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown thathaving excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both types of fat greatly increase your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.

Excess stomach fat has also been associated in studies with higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an indicator of inflammation within the body that can lead to heart disease and other health issues.

Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that studies show that it releases more inflammatory molecules into your system on a consistent basis.

One of the major reasons that some people accumulate more visceral fat than others can be from a high carbohydrate diet that leads to insulin resistance over time (years of bombarding your system with too much sugars and starches for your body to properly handle the constant excess blood sugar) … and studies show that high fructose intake particularly from high-fructose corn syrup can be a major contributor to excess visceral fat.

If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat (including reducing visceral fat) should be one of your TOP priorities! There's just no way around it. Besides, a side effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those attractive six pack abs that everyone wants.

So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat, including visceral fat?

Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for "miracle" fat loss products?

The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can't spot reduce your stomach fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn't work that way.

The only solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

I've actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise & diet combined group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this every day at the gym.

Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.

Well, the good news is that I've spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it "in the trenches" with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

From my research, two of the most important aspects to getting rid of visceral fat are:

1. The use of high intensity forms of exercise and full-body resistance training. Low intensity cardio exercise simply isn't as effective for removing visceral fat in particular. High intensity exercise such as interval training or full-body weight training are very effective at helping to improve your body's ability to manage glucose and increases insulin sensitivity, a crucial step in removing visceral fat. These types of high intensity exercise routines are also very effective at increasing your fat-burning hormones and creating a hormonal environment conducive to burning off abdominal fat, including visceral fat.

2. In addition, it's vitally important to get blood sugar under control to help restore insulin sensitivity through the right nutrition. This means greatly reducing sugars and refined starches in your diet (including fully eliminating any use of harmful high fructose corn syrup!), and focusing more of your diet on healthy fats (such as avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut fat, olive oil, free-range eggs, fatty fish and fish oils, etc), as well as increasing protein and fiber intake. The standard diet recommended by the government, which contains an unnaturally high grain intake is NOT conducive to controlling blood sugar and reducing visceral fat!

Reducing grain-based foods in your diet and getting more of your carbs from veggies and high fiber fruits such as berries can go a long way to helping to solve this problem.

Learn the Truth about Losing Your Stomach Fat Permanently

You may not realize this, but the entire basis of my Truth about Six Pack Abs program is NOT about abs exercises… instead, it's actually about detailed strategies for both nutrition and exercise that maximize your ability to lose abdominal fat. The entire solution… all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program in order to help you to burn stomach fat faster.

Keep in mind that the whole point of this program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective nutritional strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, and maximizing a fat-burning hormonal environment in your body so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.

If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork… it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply these strategies. If you apply it, the results will come. It's really that simple.

One of the main reasons that most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.

I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS. A lot of people have emailed my support team with questions about whether they need any special equipment for these workouts, if they're too old or too young for this program, if the diet tips will apply to them, etc. I've made a page that should answer all of your questions…

Cardio Machines

lewis — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:02:45 +0000

http://www.atoztoptrainers.com

Cardio machines are excellent for people who are unable to get outside to exercise.

Most cardio machines are compact and easily portable and can be unobtrusively used in any room of the house.

They will allow you to train at any time of the day or night and you will not be dictated to by the weather or gym opening hours.

This is particularly important if you live in a cold or wet climate and training in winter is impossible outdoors.

There are many different cardio machines on the market and as there are machines in all price ranges there is bound to be something to suit most people.

Cardio machines are also very good for people who are recovering from injury as they will help to maintain fitness while ensuring that the muscles and limb movement are maintained in a controlled range eliminating the possibility of more injury.

Fortunately with the advent of the Internet there are a lot more brands on the market and the competitiveness of the industry has seen prices become a lot more reasonable.

There is also the added benefit of not needing to pay gym fees if you decide to do all your fitness training at home on a cardio machine.
The saving alone could pay for the machine many times over.

For elderly people cardio machines are excellent for fitness and the health of their lungs and heart.

Likewise children can benefit from the use of a cardio machine in the safety of their own home.

If you are considering buying a cardio machine do some shopping around, as there are many options and many opportunities to save considerable money by buying online.

It is always best to invest in quality machines as, not only do they last longer, but they are generally designed better to give you a more complete workout.

How to Eat Great and Lose Weight

lewis — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:31:23 +0000

http://www.atoztoptrainers.com – Subscribers Special

View new daily fitness post's published on the blog here

By Isabel De Los Rios for AtoZfitness.com
http://www.yourdietsolution.com

Snacking on dried out rice cakes and wilted lettuce leaves is no way to spend your mealtimes. You don’t have to eat bland, boring foods just to trim up. It is possible to eat great and lose weight all at the same time. If you choose quality foods and have a willingness to try new things, you can get down on delicious meals and shed pounds too.

Choose the Right Foods

You can’t possibly lose weight if the foods you use to prepare you meals are unhealthy and loaded with calories. When you avoid processed nonsense and stick with fresh ingredients, you can’t go wrong. Anything boxed, frozen, jugged or canned is considered processed and has no place in a healthy diet.

Foods that should be staples in your healthy meal plans include fresh fish, naturally raised meats, organic poultry, organic whole eggs, raw nuts, fresh herbs, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Natural foods are better for you because they are low in calories and filled with plenty of nutrients your body can use.

Also, natural foods aren’t loaded with a laundry list of additives that contribute to weight gain, diabetes, cancer, hypertension and other health problems.

Experiment with Recipes, Flavors and Cooking Methods

I love grilled chicken, but if I had to eat if every day, I’d go bananas—I imagine you would too. Free yourself from the bondage of humdrum, tasteless meals by experimenting with recipes. Thumb through cookbooks, surf the Internet and use your imagination to whip up meals you can’t wait to sink your teeth into.

When you come across recipes that have unhealthy ingredients, simply swap the bad ingredients out for healthier ones. For instance, if a recipe calls for milk, you can replace this ingredient with coconut or almond milk. Also, don’t be afraid to switch out spices and seasonings to add a new flavor to a dish.

Vary your cooking methods to keep things fresh and give food a different taste. For instance, if you always broil your steak, try sautéing it, or covering it with olive oil and dropping it on the grill. All of these cooking methods are healthy and easy to master.

Sample Recipes to Help You Eat Great and Lose Weight

Healthy French Toast:

2 slices of Sprouted Grain, Spelt or Rice bread
1 tablespoon of real butter
2 whole organic eggs
maple syrup
cinnamon
Directions: Mix the eggs in a bowl. Dip the bread in the egg mixture until it is completely coated on both sides. Heat a pan on low to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the egg coated bread and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the toast with cinnamon and serve it with 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.

Baked Chicken a la Isabel (one of my creations)

1 whole baking chicken
extra virgin coconut oil
your favorite Italian spices (I use thyme, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper)
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small pan and melt it over low heat. Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of each of your spices in a small bowl and pour in the melted coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients together. Let the spice and coconut oil mixture cool.

Rub the spice and oil mixture under the skin of the chicken with your hands. Once the chicken is completely coated, place it breast side down in a glass baking pan and pop it in the oven. Let the chicken cook for 1 to 2 hours until it’s done.

There’s nothing boring or tasteless about the above recipes. If you’re creative and are willing to experiment with new recipes, you can chow down like this everyday and look fantastic doing it.

Your dream of permanent weight loss is just a reach away. Watch this video to find out how The Diet Solution Program can help you eat great and lose weight.

MI40 Saver Special $29.95 – 72 hours only!

lewis — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:06:12 +0000

Last week the MI40 System was picked up by 3.511 people
and became an online bestseller in just 4 days!

Now… if you're already the proud owner of the rapid-rate
program then please disregard the rest of the message.

If you were someone who really wanted to give the program
an honest shot, but found that $47 was just too expensive
for you (the price is now $77 btw), we feel bad that we
were unable to help you in a meaningful way.

That's why I wanted to inform you about some HUGE SAVING
that Ben is setting up for the next 72 hours.

Ben's offering the entire MI40 System – MINUS the online videos -
apart of a limited-time Saver Package. And it's not $77, or $47.
He's making it available for just $29.95.

Now, please understand, Ben is NOT including the 7 hours of
online video coaching so the Saver Package is not not nearly
as robust or complete. Basically it's just the downloadable
PDF manuals. But it does contain enough info for you to
experience twice the muscle in half the time.

Click the link below to check it out for yourself:

==> http://budurl.com/mi40saver

That's the GOOD news if you missed out last week. The bad
news is that this is a 72-hour sale and once the countdown
timer hits ZERO on the website you're about to visit, this
special offer will DISAPPEAR and never be made again.

Why your back still hurts. Free lose the back pain book

lewis — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:22:10 +0000

Please read the important message below from
my friend Jesse Cannone at The Healthy Back
Institute. It could very well change your life.

Thank you,
Lewis

Do You Want to “Manage” Your Back Pain… or End It?

Most doctors have no idea how to cure back pain.
So they “manage” it.

They tell you to rest and give you painkillers or muscle
relaxers. But those pills just mask your pain. So when
you stop taking them, it comes roaring back.

That’s why you have to go back to the doctor… or
chiropractor… or acupuncturist… over and over again.
They help you feel better – for a while – but they don’t
solve the problem.

Wouldn’t you rather get rid of your back pain for good?

Chances are, you can.

My name is Jesse Cannone. As a physical trainer, I’ve
worked with thousands of people suffering with back pain.
And I’ve been a back pain sufferer myself.

Nothing my doctors did helped for long. But thanks to a
chance meeting at a fitness seminar, I’ve been pain-free
for over a decade.

What I’ve learned since then could fill a book. In fact, it
has. And I’d like to send you a copy of my brand new
“Expanded and Updated” book, The 7-Day Back Pain
Cure, absolutely FREE!

Click Here To Secure Your Free Copy Now

There are over 100 new pages of fresh material in this
new beefed-up version of my book that has already helped
over 155,000 people find relief from the shackles of back pain.

Years of tireless study have taught me three important truths:

Most “experts” – including doctors – don’t understand the true causes of back pain.

Most back-pain treatments are like sticking your finger in the dike. You may stop the leak for a little while…
but they do nothing to solve the real problem.

Virtually everyone can ease their pain significantly. And
most people can end it for good.

In The 7-Day Back Pain Cure, you’ll discover the true causes
of back pain… little-known ways to fix what’s wrong… and simple
steps you can take to stop your pain once and for all.

As mentioned earlier, I’ve just finished a complete revision – with
over 100 pages of new material – so this is the most up-to-date
information you can get. Plus, I’ve added several brand-new
chapters on sleep, travel and more.

Find out why conventional treatments are mostly doomed to fail…
why surgeries are often just a shot in the dark… and how something
as simple as stretching can work when medical treatments fail.

The 7-Day Back Pain Cure is your road map to a pain-free life.
And it’s yours FREE. (Just pay a small shipping and handling
charge.) In fact, you can even order extra copies for your friends
and family.

Why free? Because I understand what it’s like to suffer with back
pain that just won’t go away. To miss out on life because one
false move could put you on the sidelines for weeks.

Now I’m living every day to its fullest – pain free. And you could
be, too.

To get started, just click here for your FREE copy of The 7-Day
Back Pain Cure.

Imagine what you’ll do when your back doesn’t hurt any more.
Walk… garden… dance… play tennis. The sky’s the limit.

And it all starts with your FREE copy of The 7-Day Back Pain Cure.

Wishing you the best,

Jesse Cannone, CFT, CPRS, CSPN

P.S. Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what readers say
about my methods and The 7-Day Back Pain Cure:

I couldn’t believe myself that the shooting pain in my hip
totally disappeared in just 3 days. - Mohammed G.

I really love this stuff! It has truly cured a year and a
half worth of problems! WOW! - Crystal E.

Last week I was ready to go shopping for a walking
stick. Now I don't need one! - Bennie L.

… within 2 weeks I was all better. I can walk, ride
my elliptical, swim, do squats, climb stairs, bend
over pulling weeds and all the other physical
activities that triggered the pain. - Linda M.

It took me two weeks to get rid of my back pain
and I've been pain free for 7 months now.- Everista R.

You could be next. Click here now to get The 7-Day Back
Pain Cure absolutely FREE!

Arms Stop Growing – 4 tips to JUMPSTART growth

lewis — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:19:49 +0000

Your arms stop growing?

I'll be frank, I'm getting tired of all this "functional training," talk. Come on! Is that the reason you really got into lifting weights? It seems arm training has taken a dip in popularity and this may be the case in some circles but if you're REALLY honest I'm guessing you wanted arms that resembled a SUPERHERO… and for that, doing DIRECT bicep and tricep workout will NEVER go out of style.

And having big, muscular arms that stretch your shirtsleeves will NEVER EVER go out of style either, so today is a reminder that when you pick up a copy of Ben Pakulski's MI40 System you'll also get his complete 21-day workout to BIGGER ARMS. The same workout that packed TWO INCHES on his arms in 3 weeks! RIDICULOUS! I would be happy with just 3/8ths of an inch!

Get MI40 System + 21 Days to Bigger Arms FREEEE <—- Click here

Now onto our arm tips compliments of the big man himself…

4 Uncommon Tips To BIGGER ARMS
By Ben Pakulski

1) LESS VOLUME!

Small muscles require less volume, and recover faster. Basic logic says,
a smaller muscle has less overall total volume of muscle fibres. It takes
LESS overall stimulus to fatigue these muscles and less overall training
volume to exhaust glycogen stores (stored muscle energy).

2) HEAVY WEIGHTS (WITH PERFECT FORM)

Heavy weights are going to fatigue a greater overall percentage of muscle
fibres in a shorter amount of time (aka less sets). Heavy weights also have
the added benefit of stimulating "high threshold motor units". These are the
muscle fibres that require a lot more stimulus to grow and respond, but also
the fibres that are more likely to be responsible for muscle hypertrophy or GROWTH!

3) ARMS RECEIVE A LOT OF STIMULUS ON A REGULAR BASIS
Arms receive a lot of stimulus on a regular basis. For most people, this tends to
occur in the middle of the range of motion where the muscles are strongest.
In order to get the arms to grow and respond, it is necessary to subject them to
a different type of stimulus. One of the best ways to improve arm development is to
subject them to more tension and continuous tension at the extremes of the range of
motion (a.k.a, when a muscle is fully lengthened or fully shortened –where muscles
are weakest). This will allow for greater time under tension as well as targeting different
points of the strength curve to force the nervous system to adapt and stimulate new muscle growth.

4) YOU MUST ENGAGE THE TARGET MUSCLE FIRST IN ANY MOVEMENT
The FIRST muscle to engage in ANY movement must be the muscle you are trying to target. If you are working your biceps, to most effectively stimulate the bicep, it must be the muscle to initiate the movement. As mentioned, muscles are weakest at those extremes and that makes it LEAST likely to contract. This is where your conscious intent and control is vital! The best way to ensure this is happening is to CONTRACT its antagonist muscle. This will ensure a fully lengthened working muscle and make it much more likely that it will initiate the movement (provided you're using proper control).

e.g. when working your bicep, to fully stretch your bicep at the bottom of the range, it is necessary to contract your tricep before initiating the movement of contracting your bicep again. The opposite is true when training triceps. Contract your biceps at the top of the range when a tricep is fully stretched (forearm touches biceps).

>>>>>>>> END OF ARTICLE <<<<<<<<<<

Tomorrow is your LAST CHANCE to get a Ben's 21 Days to BIGGER ARMS workout for FREEEEE when you pick up a copy of his 40-day muscle building system – MI40! The same program that helped him become one of the top 15 bodybuilders in the WORLD!

==> http://budurl.com/MI40A2Z

If you're tired of busting your butt in the gym with little to show, tired of seeing your buddies get twice as big as you and can't remember the last time you had a growth spurt… you would be insane not to give this a shot! If a 275 pound pro has room to grow, I'm sure you do too!

Get the full story here… Even if you don't buy, there is some brilliant info
on how to immediately double your gains:

PRODUCT LAUNCH ALERT – MI40 is LIVE! [$500 Bonus + Big Discount]

lewis — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:22:59 +0000

Hi,

I have a f.ree downloadable report for you "5 tricks to double your gains" at the bottom of this e-mail .

You've probably been watching and hearing A LOT about Ben Pakulski's brand new 40 day program – MI40 where you'll learn how to DOUBLE your muscle gains with the scientific significance of the number 40 in it's application to muscle growth:

40 days!

40 minute workouts!

40 second sets!

40 second rest periods!

The number 40 is the MOST optimal number for the most critical muscle-growth variables and for the very first time it's been organized into 40 days of structured and progressive workouts. Today the program just went live and you can read about 5 uncommon ways to IMMEDIATELY

double your gains here :

==> http://budurl.com/MI40A2Z

Three Reasons MI40 Is Completely Different…

1. MI40 is the ONLY muscle program that focuses on the conscious INTENT to create TENSION in the muscle with the use of Intentions.

Adding Intentions to your movements PROVES that there is NO SUCH THING as a "weak" or "lagging" body part and teaches you how to FEEL the muscle ensuring growth. Ben includes SEVEN hours of instructional coaching so you can learn how to fully SHORTEN & LENGTHEN every muscle through it's full range of motion on every respective movement. Info that was acquired from being around the worlds brightest coaches, therapists and doctors the past 14 years!

==> http://budurl.com/MI40A2Z

2. MI40 is different than every other run-of-the-mill program by introducing Ben Pakulski's trademark NOS Technology - an intensifier to ensure you never finish a workout wondering, "Did I do enough?" or "Did I do too much?" NOS optimizes your testosterone levels to immediately see growth.

3. And finally, MI40 guarantees you'll maximize the muscle-to-fat ratio (the majority of test subjects actually LOST body fat on the system) and keep your abs the entire 40 days with Ben's Three-Phase Nutrition.

(BTW… if you're eating carbohydrates 1-2 hours BEFORE you workout than you're DECREASING your workouts performance – this is the most cutting-edge nutrition research you'll find). Ben did not become one of the top 15 bodybuilders in the world by reading the same old rehashed muscle & fitness info you can find anywhere. Come on!

And the BEST news?!

As of today, November 29th, the MI40 System private $30 OFF launch-sale is now OPEN, and YOU are invited via this discounted link: Your Private $30 OFF Invitation

==> http://budurl.com/MI40A2Z

A few IMPORTANT things you need to know:

1. As mentioned, to celebrate the "Official Release" of the MI40 System, Ben is offering a $30 OFF launch-only discount until midnight at Friday.

2. Duh! MI40 is NOT for everyone! If you believe you need perfect genetics, require performance-enhancing drugs, don't gain muscle easily, require hours in the gym, must be naturally strong, access to a fancy gym, must consume piles of supplements, too old, too young or think you have tried it all… click away right now.

MI40 is NOT for you. MI40 is HARD and is not a magic-bullet solution. It will require you to bring the BEST version of YOU for the entire 40 days. This is not a "laid back" approach to gaining muscle. If you're looking for a "easy ride" – go back to dreamland.

But if you're ready to put in some hard work and take a precise and scientific approach to your training & nutrition then MI40 will literally change your body and your life FOREVER… and it'll do it FAST:

==> http://budurl.com/MI40A2Z

3. VERY IMPORTANT (TODAY ONLY) – While the $30 OF launch-sale price will run until Friday midnight, there is a rare opportunity to get coached by Ben (a legit $500 Value) for anyone who responds quickly and orders TODAY (Tuesday).

The Fast Action Bonus – if you order today (Tuesday only) , you will get invited to a closed-door coaching call with Ben Pakulski & Vince Del Monte.

The best part about working with Ben is that he DOES believe there is a RIGHT and WRONG way of doing everything. He will NEVER just say, "Well it works for me…" in response to your question but will give you a IN DEPTH and INTELLIGENT answer so you UNDERSTAND the science behind everything you do. You'll learn why Ben is coined "The Thinking Man's Bodybuilder" and you'll gain a wealth of new understanding on this call.

Order MI40 today and you'll gain access to this call at NO ADDITIONAL COST! You'll get your $30 discount AND $500 Bonus if you act today:

==> http://budurl.com/MI40A2Z

How to Lose Belly Fat in 4 Simple Steps

lewis — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:10:24 +0000

By Isabel De Los Rios for AtoZfitness.com

Embarrassment is not the worst part of having a flabby midsection. That spare tire around you tummy can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes (yikes!). Thankfully, you don’t need a complicated diet plan to learn how to lose belly fat. Stomach flab may be stubborn, but it’s no match for proper nutrition, hydration, exercise, and a can-do attitude.

Believe in Yourself

The way you feel about your ability to lose weight will play a major role in your success. If you’re plagued with self-doubt and negativity, you won’t see the point of sticking it out when things get tough. In order to achieve your weight loss goal, you must truly believe you have what it takes.

Losing weight is not just about vanity; it’s also about living healthy and feeling your best everyday. One thing that will help keep you in the right frame of mind is to think of your fat burning journey as a lifestyle change rather than a diet. If you focus on healthy living instead of dieting, you’ll maintain momentum and it will be easier to shut down those negative feelings.

Eat Nutritiously

Eating a healthy diet will keep your metabolism operating properly so you burn stomach fat more effectively. If your eating plan lacks essential carbohydrates, protein, healthy fat, vitamins and minerals, it’s not nutritious. To ensure you get adequate amounts of all of these nutrients, incorporate a variety of healthy, whole foods like vegetables, fruits, poultry, lean meats, raw nuts, legumes, beans, seeds and whole eggs into your diet.

As for counting calories to lose weight, I don’t do it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very conscious about what I put into my body. However, I refuse to spend my life keeping tabs on every crumb I swallow. When I get hungry, I’m going to eat—and trust me, I won’t be thinking about calories while I’m doing it.

I’m living proof that if you eat the right foods, and stick to reasonable portion sizes, you can lose belly fat without counting a single calorie.

Drink Plenty of Water

Water is often overlooked in nutrition plans. But this element is crucial for burning fat and maintaining proper health. Water helps metabolize stored fat and rids the body of excess fat and toxins. Water also prevent bloating and constipation, and helps curb your appetite.

Most people underestimate how much water they need, so they don’t stay properly hydrated. For optimum health, drink half of your body weight in ounces of water daily. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, you should drink at least 100 ounces of water per day.

Get Up and Exercise

When you start your healthy eating plan, you’ll automatically reduce your caloric intake and start to shed some weight. However, unless you add exercise into the mix, your metabolism will eventually slow down and ultimately reduce your ability to burn stomach fat.

There’s no way to target specific areas for fat loss. Crunches, sit-ups and other ab-specific exercises only work to tone the muscles. The only way to get the svelte tummy of your dreams is to burn the fat off. If you don’t, any muscle tone you achieve via abdominal exercises will be buried under the flab.

If you combine 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to intense cardiovascular activity with proper nutrition, the fat around your belly will melt like butter. If you’re out of shape, doing a 30 to 60 minute workout may be too much at first. It’s okay if you start off exercising for 5 or 10 minutes. Simply work your way up as your fitness level improves.

Don’t try to change your lifestyle overnight; Start by making small tweaks. In the beginning, you might try drinking more water, increasing your fresh vegetable intake and exercising three days a week. Once you get used to these adjustments, gradually build on them. Remember, small steps can lead to big results.

Sitting and wishing won’t help you get the trim tummy you’ve always wanted. Let the Diet Solution Program teach you how to lose belly fat and improve your overall health.

#1 Tip To Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

lewis — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:37:45 +0000

Every year I read articles about how to avoid holiday weight gain. Some of them are written on mainstream news or gossip websites and they’re usually rather lame…

Let’s see, they include gems like these: Skip the party snacks, never go to a party hungry, mind your portions and don’t just decorate your tree, decorate your plate (with colorful veggies). Maybe useful, but not so Earth shattering.

Today I wanted to share the #1 tip to avoid Holiday Weight Gain – here it is…

The best way EVER invented to avoid holiday weight gain is not only to set a real goal – to set goals “scientifically” – but to set up an accountability, social support and reward system to make sure you follow through and achieve that goal.

After years of hard work and trial and error, my buddy Tom Venuto has created and perfected such a system.

He's already done the set up work for you, and not only that, his system has now been proven two years in a row (this is our third year), so we KNOW this works.

If you're curious, want to transform your body, and win a all-expenses paid trip to Maui then check out this link:

You'll be happy that you did!
To your most successful Holiday Season yet.
