Free Report Losing Your Abs Is The Worst
Maybe the only thing worse than never having seen your absis having great abs and then losing them…
And it happens all the time.
As challenging as it is to carve out a six pack, many people
do eventually achieve that goal.
Then, satisfied with their level of leanness, they decide it’s
time to shift gears and start adding some muscle.
That’s when it (abdominal definition) all starts going downhill.
You see, most people don’t know how to gain muscle without
gaining back the body fat along with it.
In fact, it’s a scientific truth that your body’s natural tendency
is for gaining fat when you gain lean tissue, so the odds are
stacked against you right from the start.
So what happens is either:
A) You are terrified of losing your abs, so you never gain any
muscle (because you’re always on a fat loss diet… afraid to eat!)
or
B) You gain muscle, but pack on the lard along with it
(you get bulkier, bigger muscles, but goodbye six pack)
what a dilemma!
It never dawns on most people that there is a 3rd option:
C) Gain solid lean body mass without gaining an ounce of fat
Or… even…. GAIN MUSCLE AND LOSE MORE FAT at the same time.
The reason it never dawns on most people is because they think
option “C” is an impossible goal to achieve.
Natural bodybuilder and best-selling author Tom Venuto says
that not only is it possible, he believes that the old
method of gaining muscle, “bulking and cutting” is now
almost completely obsolete.
In his new f-r-e-e report he explains why and tells you what
do do instead:
Click------> The Holy Grail Revealed
This report was just released today and it’s called:
“THE END OF BULKING: How To Gain Muscle Without Gaining Fat”
The report is science-based, but it’s not dry and technical
at all - it’s actually very entertaining, even funny at times.
Here’s just some of what you’ll learn:
* Why almost all traditional methods of gaining muscle make
you fat… and how you can add lean mass while staying lean
ALL YEAR ROUND!
* The 7 pitfalls of the old “bulking and cutting” method and
the 10 new “Holy Grail Body Transformation” methods for
gaining rock-solid fat-free muscle
* Why women need these new muscle-building methods even more
than men! (hundreds are already using this system to build
sleek, lean, feminine muscular bodies, without looking “bulky”)
The report is f-re-e and you can download it as a PDF
and read it immediately:

Ten Tips To Make Time For Exercise
“Remember, when you exercise consistently, you’ll have something that’s truly beneficial for your heart and your soul.”
Life seems increasingly complex these days. There are children and pets to care for, partners who need attention and errands to run. On top of that, the cell phone is ringing, the email is chiming, faxes are flying and taxes are coming due. How is a person supposed to find time to exercise?
The key is to make exercise a priority. In a survey of both active and sedentary adults, both groups had 24 hours a week available for their leisure pursuits. So - there is time to exercise! Workouts of 30 minutes, three times a week, add up to a mere hour and a half out of the possible 168 hours in the week. Remember, when you exercise consistently, you'll have something that's truly beneficial for your heart and your soul. Some tips to help you fit in fitness:
1. Pencil in the time. Plan ahead. Make an appointment with yourself and pencil your workout in your schedule. When exercise time becomes a priority, just like a meeting with your boss, you'll give it the importance that it deserves.
2. Remember the benefits. Most regular exercisers will tell someone who doesn't exercise: "You're just not making it a priority." Actually, the non-regular exerciser may feel that the costs of doing the activity outweigh the benefits. Remind yourself that taking a 30-minute walk before work can increase your energy level throughout the day, increase productivity and boost your mood. Isn't that worth a half-hour less sleep?
3. Be prepared. Lay out your exercise clothes the night before and exercise first thing in the morning.
4. Blend it in. Try to incorporate exercise into your daily activities - do you normally walk the dog? Put on your exercise shoes and pick up the pace a notch. Extend the walk to 20-30 minutes - that's your workout (and your dog will love it.) Other ideas: Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park the car in the far end of the parking lot and walk. Use any way you can to increase your daily activity level. It all adds up!
5. Make family and friends time active time. Enroll in a parent-child swim or gymnastics class; take the kids to the park and make an obstacle course for yourself out of the playground; make a date with your spouse to take short after-dinner strolls; get together with a co-worker for a quick lunch plus some brisk window shopping.
6. Set limits. Don't eat lunch (or play your favorite after-work video game) until you've completed your workout for the day. Linking your workout to a well-established routine will help ensure that your exercise quickly becomes a healthy habit.
7. Hire a coach. A good way to ensure your success as a regular exerciser is to assign someone to be your personal fitness "coach." This person could be your spouse, co-worker, a close friend or a sibling—someone who will understand your weekly fitness goals and who can nix any excuse you come up with for not achieving them. Your coach's duties include checking in with you several times a week to see how you're doing. If you miss a workout, the coach can be understanding, but should insist on a scheduled make-up session.
8. Be ready with Plan B. Expect obstacles and overcome them. When your favorite exercise bike is occupied at the gym, jump onto a treadmill or a rower, or start your weight training and return to the bike later. Think about trying a new piece of equipment to spice up your normal routine. This new skill will make your workout more exciting.
9. Create your own bonuses and incentives. A month of workouts can equal a new outfit, an upgrade in equipment, a massage, a half-hour with a personal trainer, a yoga class, or a fancy pair of cross-trainers.
10. Be forgiving. There is a delicate balance between a firm commitment to exercise and a rigid compulsion about keeping to a pre-determined workout schedule. By developing a flexible, healthy attitude about your exercise program - making it part of your life, not your entire life - your enthusiasm for exercising will always remain high.
Drink lots of water. If you exercise for an hour a day you lose 20 percent more fluid than you would if you just sat still and it's even higher on hot, summer days. Dehydration can cause headaches, diarrhea, muscle cramps, and exhaustion, and water is the best (no-fat, no-calorie) way to hydrate. What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon or 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cranberry juice to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder . Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. Click here to order stevia powder.

4 Common But Useless Fattburning Exercises
You may be wasting your time in the gym or at home if you are trying to shape your body or get rid of bodyfat.
Most people are. That is when it comes to exercise for getting rid of bellyfat and getting into better shape.
I was in the gym today (nothing new... ; ) and I saw all 4 of these exercises being performed by various gym members (again... nothing new.)
And they are useless for 99% of the people on the planet.
Here they are...
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 1: Walking Dumbbell Lunges
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Okay ladies, this one is for you... although I see guys do this exercise as well.
This is where you take a pair of dumbbells and kneel with one leg, then the other, and so-on, walking around the gym as you go.
The idea behind this exercise is to work the butt, and to some extent the thighs... but it's a joke. It's something invented by trainers who should know better.
If you want to build and tone your butt, exercise one leg at a time. Lunges are a great exercise for this, but save your energy. Do them on a Smith Machine or with a barbell. Work one leg at a time, too. Do not alternate legs. This just wears you out aerobically before it has a chance to get to your glutes.
Here's how I perform lunges: On a Smith Machine, with pretty heavy weights... one leg at a time. I will do 2-3 sets, or do them in my 7 Minute Body-style workout fashion. I will finish one leg (and one butt cheek) before moving to the other leg.
Why? Again, to focus on the muscle more intensely and to avoid turning a leg/butt workout into a cardio session.
Jon Benson covers exactly how to work the butt area for the best results in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle, found right here:
click.here ----- > 7 Minute Muscle
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 2: The Sit-up
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm shocked that people still think sit-ups done the old-fashioned way actually work the abs. Even worse, most people have been fooled into believing this actually helps get rid of bellyfat.
Nonsense. Bellyfat is burned off when you have a good nutrition plan and through general exercise, not using exercises for the abs. Ab exercises are fine, but guess what?
I never train my abs more than 3-5 minutes. Today my ab workout took 3 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. And my abs are sore!
But without the nutrition plan, forget it... I'd never SEE my abs at all. I'd just have a nice wall of muscle with a bunch of flab covering it up.
The best nutrition plan for abs is The Every Other Day Dietplan, found here:
click.here ----- >The Every Other Day Dietplan
The best exercises to do for the actual ab muscles are hanging leg raises, done slowly, crunches (if you do them right)... and that's really all you need.
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 3: The Bench Press
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm going to get a lot of flack from the guys out there who love to bench, but I'm here to tell you that this exercise for bodyshaping is all but worthless.
Why? Because most people are not built right body-wise to bench press on a flat bench with a barbell. I am not, that's for sure.
Bench presses work if you have short arms, a relatively short torso, and your shoulders are genetically strong.
Protect your shoulders and really work your chest by doing incline dumbbell presses with your palms facing OUT, not in toward your head. This protects the rotator cuff, a part of the shoulder that is often injured using barbell bench presses.
Combine this with a good cable fly or press movement and you're set. Again, you only need about 7-14 minutes of chest work tops to get the job done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
USELESS EXERCISE 4: Most Cardio Exercises
----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Yep... saved the best for last.
Here's a fact: Most cardio (bike, treadmill, glider, whatever) is a waste to time... UNLESS you do it at the right time with the right nutrition plan.
The calories you burn from cardio will be easily negated simply by eating a bagel! Hardly effective for getting rid of bodyfat. Weight training and/or resistance training at home or with your body weight, as covered in 7 Minute Muscle, is your best bet for exercise that burns-off mega-calories and keeps on burning long after the exercise session is over.
Here's how to use traditional cardio wisely:
1. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach;
2. Keep your heart rate down to 75% of your max (220 minus your age x .75 will give you this number, at least approximately);
3. "Burst" for 2-3 minutes in your session up to 85-90% of your max heart rate.
4. OR, do cardio right after weight or resistance training when your heart rate is already elevated and your blood sugar is lower. Your body burns blood sugar first during exercise.
Cardio for most people only needs to be performed 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes. The only time I break this rule is when I want to get my bodyfat below 10%. Then I will do more, but only using the rules above.
Hope this saves you a ton of time with your workouts.

4 Fatloss Tricks No One Tells You About
Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
There's a club you should join.
It's called The Insider's Club.
It is that club whose membership is based only on what secret goodies the members possess.
In our case, this is the Fatloss Insider's Club. Only those in the know can join.... freee to them of course... : )
So, if you want to get rid of some lbs...
FATLOSS TRICK 1
Eat Pizza?
Today I went for some New York-style pizza here in Austin, Texas.
Do I feel 'guilty'? No way... in fact tomorrow I will feel LEANER.
What the what?
I had to set up my body for this bit of metabolic trickery of course. You cannot just "eat pizza" and shed the pounds... I wish you could!
But my personal System for fatloss not only "allows" pizza (and all my other favorite foods)... it DEMANDS that I eat it.
Here's another true story: I blew off my "feed meal" (that's what it is called in my System) four days ago. I have been on a massive fatloss roll for weeks now and frankly I just did not feel like eating a lot.
That's another benefit of my System... it really cuts your appetite and food-cravings down.
Anyway, the next day in the gym I fell on my face! I was weaker and not any leaner. I went home, ate literally about 6000 cals and presto: Leaner than 'ever' the next day and ready to train hard.
Learn how to use this System here:
http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/fithealthy <-- click.
FATLOSS TRICK 2
The 10-Minute Cardio Trick
If you want to just get into good heart health, you only need GXP Cardio (covered in the System mentioned above) 2-3 days per week for 9-15 minutes. That's it.
However if you want to use "smart cardio" (not long, boring cardio) then you need a bit more. Just a bit.
It's my 10-minute trick.
Start with just every other day. Then move to 4 days... and then 5.
If you are pressed for time, this is ideal. Even if you are not, it works like magic.
10 minutes in the morning 'before' you eat. Just make sure your heart rate is only about 65% of your max... in other words, you are not breathing super-heavy at all, but you are working up a sweat. That's it.
10 minutes 'before' lunch. Just cut your lunch hour short by 10 minutes... that's all. You don't sweat enough to need a shower... don't worry. Walking stairs works great, or walking outside... be creative!
Then 10 'harder' minutes about 2 hours before you go to sleep. Get your heart rate up to where you are breathing a little harder.
That's it.
You can even start with just two sessions of 10 minutes (morning and night) if lunch is out.
FATLOSS TRICK 3
Increase Your Fat?
Yep. I want you to eat more dietary-fat.... but I want you to replace some of your carbohydrates (starch like rice, potatoes, etc.) with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil and almonds.
Fat dulls the appetite and all three of the fats above actually help your body get rid of its fat-stores if you decrease carbs.
I have the plan laid out for you. More here:
http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/fithealthy <-- click.
FATLOSS TRICK 4
Think Resistance
Far better than cardio will ever be. That would be resistance training.
Either weight training or in-home resistance training using bands and bodyweight. Studies confirm what we fitness pros already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body (cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more bodyfat over the long-term than cardio.
But you need both. And both cardio and resistance training (in-home or in the gym) is worked into my book "7 Minute Body."
You can get it when you pick up "Every Other Day Diet" for 75% off-retail... it is all detailed here...

4 Fatloss Tricks No One Tells You About
Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
There's a club you should join.
It's called The Insider's Club.
It is that club whose membership is based only on what secret goodies the members possess.
In our case, this is the Fatloss Insider's Club. Only those in the know can join.... freee to them of course... : )
So, if you want to get rid of some lbs...
FATLOSS TRICK 1
Eat Pizza?
Today I went for some New York-style pizza here in Austin, Texas.
Do I feel 'guilty'? No way... in fact tomorrow I will feel LEANER.
What the what?
I had to set up my body for this bit of metabolic trickery of course. You cannot just "eat pizza" and shed the pounds... I wish you could!
But my personal System for fatloss not only "allows" pizza (and all my other favorite foods)... it DEMANDS that I eat it.
Here's another true story: I blew off my "feed meal" (that's what it is called in my System) four days ago. I have been on a massive fatloss roll for weeks now and frankly I just did not feel like eating a lot.
That's another benefit of my System... it really cuts your appetite and food-cravings down.
Anyway, the next day in the gym I fell on my face! I was weaker and not any leaner. I went home, ate literally about 6000 cals and presto: Leaner than 'ever' the next day and ready to train hard.
Learn how to use this System here:
http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/fithealthy <-- click.
FATLOSS TRICK 2
The 10-Minute Cardio Trick
If you want to just get into good heart health, you only need GXP Cardio (covered in the System mentioned above) 2-3 days per week for 9-15 minutes. That's it.
However if you want to use "smart cardio" (not long, boring cardio) then you need a bit more. Just a bit.
It's my 10-minute trick.
Start with just every other day. Then move to 4 days... and then 5.
If you are pressed for time, this is ideal. Even if you are not, it works like magic.
10 minutes in the morning 'before' you eat. Just make sure your heart rate is only about 65% of your max... in other words, you are not breathing super-heavy at all, but you are working up a sweat. That's it.
10 minutes 'before' lunch. Just cut your lunch hour short by 10 minutes... that's all. You don't sweat enough to need a shower... don't worry. Walking stairs works great, or walking outside... be creative!
Then 10 'harder' minutes about 2 hours before you go to sleep. Get your heart rate up to where you are breathing a little harder.
That's it.
You can even start with just two sessions of 10 minutes (morning and night) if lunch is out.
FATLOSS TRICK 3
Increase Your Fat?
Yep. I want you to eat more dietary-fat.... but I want you to replace some of your carbohydrates (starch like rice, potatoes, etc.) with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil and almonds.
Fat dulls the appetite and all three of the fats above actually help your body get rid of its fat-stores if you decrease carbs.
I have the plan laid out for you. More here:
http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/go/fithealthy <-- click.
FATLOSS TRICK 4
Think Resistance
Far better than cardio will ever be. That would be resistance training.
Either weight training or in-home resistance training using bands and bodyweight. Studies confirm what we fitness pros already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body (cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more bodyfat over the long-term than cardio.
But you need both. And both cardio and resistance training (in-home or in the gym) is worked into my book "7 Minute Body."
You can get it when you pick up "Every Other Day Diet" for 75% off-retail... it is all detailed here...

Lose fat & gain muscle at the same time?
This brand new "Body Re-composition" report is amazing:
It's by Tom Venuto and it shows you a scientificallyproven system to achieve the "Holy Grail" of fitness goals:
Gaining Muscle and losing fat - AT THE SAME TIME!
Yes that sounds pretty hypey, but it's true, and as soon
as you see this report, you'll 'get it'
The report is f-re-e and you can download it as a PDF
and read it, or download it as an MP3 and listen to it.
The Holly Grail Body Transformation <------click here
Cool eh? - the MP3 alone is worth $47 - but it's getting
taken down soon, so grab it now while you still can:
There's an opt-in (email subscribe) form on this page:
The Holly Grail Body Transformation <------click here
After you opt in, you'll get Tom's PDF or MP3 report,
"The Holy Grail Revealed" which teaches you how to gain
muscle and lose body fat at the same time.
Then you'll get 3 MORE special reports which will be
published in the next couple of weeks that teach you:
* How to gain muscle without gaining an ounce of fat
(say goodbye to "bulking" and hello to "lean muscle gains")
* How to lose fat without losing any of your precious
hard-earned muscle (the end of "ripped, but skinny")
* Why most people fail when they try to achieve these
elusive goals (Body re-composition mistakes).
plus...
* real world success stories from real people who
packed on muscle while losing fat at the same time...
the proof is in the pudding. See it with your own eyes.
---------------------------------------------
WARNING WARNING WARNING
-----------------------------------------------
This is info that Tom has only released to his customers
and Inner Circle members before.
The report is EXCELLENT, but I have to warn you that this
entire subject is pretty controversial.
However, Venuto is one of the most reputable experts online in
the way he walks the walk (the guy is built!), and gives the
science to back up his info...
It's pretty unusual that a successful natural bodybuilder
gives away his secrets like this, but even more unusual to
hear a smart bodybuilder teach his secrets, show you the
scientific proof of how its done...
AND... Show you the real-world before and after case studies
proving that even ordinary people can do it too.
Get your "Holy Grail" report before he takes it down:
The Holly Grail Body Transformation <------click here
Sincerely,
Russell Guess
PS I hope I didn't scare you off with the "warning." This report
is really good, it's just that the subject in this report has
always been a little controversial... (it's no big deal, but
should make for some interesting blog conversations!)

Boosting Your Energy Quickly and Easily
Walking, cycling, stair climbing - any activity that makes your heart pump hard qualifies as cardiovascular or aerobic exercise. It's one of the cornerstones of a good fitness program and it's the best way to burn calories, strengthen bones, and build up healthy heart and lungs. Below, some ways to build your aerobic workout.
Frequency: Stick-to-it-ness pays big rewards
For overall good health, aim for at least three half-hour aerobic workouts each week. For excellent health, it's best if you can aim for up to five workouts per week. For weight loss, up the ante a bit more. Try for four to six slightly longer sessions per week. Don't overdo it: even elite athletes should train no more than six days each week, giving their bodies a day to fully recover.
Intensity: Work out hard for best results.
You'll want to exercise with enough intensity to keep your heart pumping at 60 to 80 percent of its maximum rate. This range is called your 'heart rate training zone.' Our target heart rate calculator can figure your maximum heart rate and apply the appropriate percentages. To see if you're in your training zone, take your pulse. Count it for 10 seconds and multiply by six to get the number of beats per minute. For another approach, try to carry on a conversation with the instructor or a training partner while exercising. If you cannot speak without breathing hard, you're working too intensely. Ease up a bit so that you can comfortably carry on a conversation. You're in the training range.
Time: All it takes is 30 minutes a day.
Beginners can start with 20 minutes or three 10-minute segments interspersed throughout the day. Eventually you'll build up to a continuous half-hour exercise session.
Type: Ride, run or walk, whichever you like best.
Cardiovascular activity is any exercise that raises your heart rate for a prolonged period. There are plenty of exercises to choose from, both in the gym and outdoors. Pick one or several and get to it!
Do not forget to drink a lot of water before, during and after your work out. Drinking 64 ounces of water everyday will help boost your energy. What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder . Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. Click here to order stevia powder . Now, start splashing.

Exercise And The Brain
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
If you ever needed another good reason to exercise, I've got one for you:
Exercise makes your brain bigger.
Actually this isn't entirely accurate. To be more specific, exercise was found to increase brain size slightly, but far more important to increase "spatial reasoning."
This is the ability to recognize patterns, remember phrases, numbers, and so-on. This was discovered by researchers at the Universities of Chicago and Pittsburgh.
It is also one of the most important factors to the prevention of Alzheimer's and dementia.
My mom suffered with dementia the last ten years of her life. But unlike most dementia patients she was fully functional thanks to exercise. She drove and had a mind that was unbelievably sharp right up until an accident injured her beyond the ability to exercise.
After that, she mentally went downhill rapidly. Thankfully, she passed in peace... and she had ten wonderfully active years thanks to her willingness to take up weight training at the age of 71.
She eventually walked up to 3 miles per day and trained in the gym 3 days per week.
That kept her mind sharp, along with fish oil and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine, a wonderful brain nutrient.
Once again, we see the power of exercise. It increases the QUALITY of your life.
Quantity is no where near as important to me as quality.
The links at the bottom of this newsletter are to my books on exercise. Pick the one that appeals to you most and take action.
Your brain will thank you, as will the rest of your body.
One of the best ways to start exercising when you are over 40 is by using the routines covered in "Fit Over 40".
This book profiles 53 different men and women, age 40 to 80, all sharing their workouts, nutrition plans, and mental empowerment techniques.
It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone wanting to begin exercising or improve their level of fitness after the age of 40.

"How To Avoid Those 5 Awful Words..."
The Five Dreaded Words
Avoid "I'm Not in the Mood" with Some Libido-Lifting Tips
Tell me if you can relate to the following experience:
A long week of work has finally reached its end. Sure, the week was difficult, but the main reason for its lengthiness was due to anticipation -- anticipation of what the weekend held in store.
All weekends are great. But this weekend was billed to be WAY above average. Why? Because you were spending it with your significant other, away from it all, in one of the finest of hotels your city has to offer. And if a little bit of luck was on your side, it would turn out to be one of the more memorable "experiences" of a lifetime -- ahem, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).
Turns out, things didn't go as planned. The hotel was great, and the decor was to die for, but The Five Dreaded Words were spoken, the ones that always put the kibosh on a romantic night of lovemaking: "I'm not in the mood."
Each one of us have either felt or heard these words spoken before, and whether you're the giver or the receiver, it's never pleasant. Sex is a HUGE part of a relationship, and when opportunities for lovemaking go by the wayside, it frequently diminishes forthcoming opportunities -- whether it's due to fear of the same thing happening again, or the lowering of expectations.
The key, of course, is to have that "motivation" within you at all times so those Five Dreaded Words are never spoken. Here's a small helping of ways in which to keep your libido lifted so you can avoid the 5DW :
Diet
Skeptics argue that keeping one's libido lifted through diet is a self-fulfilling prophecy; in other words, if you think almonds or chocolate will lift your libido, odds are good they will.
But scientific evidence -- not psychosomatic hogwash -- suggests that certain foods do, indeed, lift one's libido. For example, a study from Southwestern University found that coffee beans lift the libido of females. For men, the love-lifting libation is tea, specifically Damiana tea. Alternative health expert Dr. Sarah Brewer says the ingredient responsible for increasing male libido in this tea is called gonzalitosin. This ingredient sends a tingling sensation to the penis.
As a man, all I can say is, "Say no more!"
Supplements
Supplementing with vitamins and minerals are, hopefully, a normal part of your daily regimen, but specific supplements provide a great boost to your sex drive. Take St. John's Wort as an example.
St. John's Wort has a multitude of benefits -- from improving one's mood to improving one's mind -- and those benefits can be found in the bedroom. Because of its mood-improving properties, studies have shown that 60 percent of people formerly uninterested in sex regained their interest after taking St. John's Wort.
Care for two more? Try ginseng and gingko biloba on for size (and no, I don't mean that kind of size). Ginseng is one of the earliest herbs to be widely marketed in the United States, and it's taken by millions of people regularly for the natural boost of energy it provides. So for people whose energy levels leave them pooped time comes for whoopee, ginseng is just the thing.
As for gingko biloba, this oddly-named herb stimulates blood flow throughout the body and brain (which explains why it's taken by those who have a hard time remembering things). As blood flow improves its flow throughout the body, it serves as the perfect elixir for those who have a hard time getting a, shall we say, "hard on."
Research published in the Journal of Sex Education and Therapy found that men who took gingko biloba regularly were able to maintain erections after six months (granted, gingko biloba is not an overnight healer, but the improvement took place, and it took place without the negative side effects that always accompany male impotency drugs).
A low libido may feel like something that's out of your hands; something that will come back on its own in its own due course. That may be the case, but more often than not, it can be through our every-day actions and lifestyle.
For more information on the "Why?" and "How?" of libido, you may want to check out a great new website I've discovered. At http://www.lowpressuresex.com/go/fithealthy you'll discover some of the hidden reasons why your libido has been slumping for so long, but more importantly, how to get it on the upswing quickly, painlessly, and naturally.
I hope you'll take this opportunity and visit http://www.lowpressuresex.com/go/fithealthy today. By the time your next weekend getaway comes around, you'll thank me (and your partner will thank you).
I recommend you visit their website immediately, where you'll get a crash course on how this issue has affected me personally; more information on the links between what's 'down there' and hypertension; and most important of all, how you can improve the health of your body and your relationship...all-naturally.

"Now THIS is interesting..."
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you.]
Have you ever started out to do one thing but ended up doing something different?
Night and day different?
Remember how Post-It Notes were invented?
Some guy was trying to come up with a "permanent" glue.
Obviously he failed... and he considered it a failure... but 3M had another idea.
The guy was all of a sudden Joe Brilliant.
Well, I'm feeling a bit like Joe today.
But this is much more interesting to you than Post-It Notes...
It's about s - e - x... sorta.
Not dirty, I'm talking about couple's stuff here.
My new book just came out today about it.
But it didn't start off that way at all.
In fact ... get this... I was co-writing a book with medical researcher Frank Mangano on lowering blood pressure without meds... really.
So how did this big U-turn occur?
Okay, okay.... funny, true story:
I read this article from a medical journal about how "lowering blood pressure would help sexual-performance-problems."
Ding. The lightbulb went off in my head.
You see, lowering blood pressure is probably the most healthy thing you can do for yourself.
But face it -- it's really, really BORING.
I mean, who really cares about their blood pressure unless their doctor says, "Look, lower your blood pressure or you'll die in six months."
Then you care.
Are you with me?
I'm right and we all know it.
Heck, I was the same way.
I ignored my blood pressure for years until it hit stroke-level back in my 30s.
Then I could no longer ignore it.
I found every natural alternative possible... which led me to Frank's books... and they are the BEST.
So Frank comes to me and asks me to contribute to his very popular on-the-shelf book "The Blood Pressure Miracle" --
... and I said,
"Hey, guess what I just read?"
Since he's the researcher, I said, "Go see if there's any truth to this."
The results BLEW MY MIND.
Not only is there truth to it -- that, yes... lowering blood pressure not only extends your life but also extends your sexlife as well -- but WOW... it's a major player in everything from male-ED to females feeling "out of the mood."
It's crazy, but it's true.
It makes sense once you read this:
http://www.lowpressuresex.com/go/fithealthy <--- Low Pressure Sex-System
Hang with me: It gets better...
So Frank digs up article after article on the subject of high blood pressure and LOW sexual-energy and performance... and we have a much more compelling reason to want to lower our blood pressure, now don't we?
But we wanted more.
I said, "Look Frank, I get a lot of emails about sex-after-30... people who want to feel more kick, more alive in that area of their lives... and above all, closer to their mates."
So... we decided to add another book on TOP of our book...
... a book on improving sexual-pleasure for couples only. "RevolutionarySex" is the name of it. My friend Alex Allman wrote it...and just like that we had two books instead of one.
But that's not all... ( told you... this story is interesting... ; )
THEN my friend Jeff Anderson comes out with his "homemade V" -- and guys, we know what "V" stands for.
Listen: V (little blue things) is really dangerous stuff. It really is. It RAISES blood pressure for one thing. For another it can cause addiction and memory loss.
But Jeff's version is all-natural, cheap (we're talking pennies instead of dollars per "pill" to make) and above all... SAFE.
So all of a sudden... THREE books (plus an audio)... so...
It became a System, not a book.
And the topic went from "lowering blood pressure" to ...
... How you can completely solve your sexual-performance-problems and increase your pleasure all by lowering blood pressure naturally without meds."
What a concept...
...and it WORKS.
http://www.lowpressuresex.com/go/fithealthy <--- Low Pressure Sex-System
Here are the advantages...
1. If you take blood pressure meds... and a lot of you do... your "kick in the stick" suffers. A lot. Some men suffer all the way, which lead them to taking the V stuff...
... and that stuff 'raises' blood pressure.
Bad, bad combo. Our System gets you off of that dangerous and expensive cycle of drugs and on to a natural, easy approach that also adds pleasure to your relationship.
2. Cheaper... by far... than meds.
3. Something you can read and do as a couple or as a single person.
4. You get healthy and you get your vigor back at the same time. Ladies too.
5. It's guaranteed-to-work... 60 days on us.
I'm very proud of this System. We put a lot of time, research and effort into it.
If you want a life freee from high BP and sexual-performance-issues and better health, then go here:
http://www.lowpressuresex.com/go/fithealthy <--- Low Pressure Sex-System
P.S. There's even more to this story --
We created an "Advanced Health and Relationship-Saver Kit" that comes with the most awesome self-hypnosis audios to help you relieve stress, lower pressure, increased your "drive", and more.
You can get the starter Kit or the Advanced Kit here:

Find Out If You Too Are At Risk
Want to know what your real odds are of having a heart attack?
How about a stroke? Diabetes?
Okay, this isn't sounding like a positive letter... but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.
I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry's upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she's ready to release it.
Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.
Our conversation took a turn to "doctor's tests." I think most of them are worthless. Some are vital.
It's important to know the difference.
I'm going to give you the three tests you absolutely must take if you want to help ensure your future health in a moment.
But first, let me give you Sherry's argument to my third test.
Yes, we nutritionists argue sometimes. ; )
I'll let you decide. But statically it's far more accurate than any blood test... and get this:
You can do it at home for freee.
So far, are you with me? Good.
I'm going to go in reverse order, third test to last...
The third test is simply this:
Measure your waistline. Use a tape measure and do not pull it tight. Measure right below the navel.
Write down that number in inches.
Then measure your height out of shoes in inches. Write that down too.
Multiply your waist inches by 2. If that number is greater than your height inches you are FOUR TIMES more likely to have heart disease.
For example, if you have a 36-inch waist and you are 70 inches tall, you are at a much greater risk for heart disease (36 x 2 = 72 which is greater than 70.) However if you have a 34-inch waist and you are 70 inches tall, you risk is far less (34 x 2 = 68 which is less than 70.)
Four times. That's more predictive than cholesterol tests by far.
And a lot less expensive to boot.
Don't just read about this test -- DO IT. I'll give you something you can do ABOUT it if you fail this test in a second.
The great news is that this is one factor that is totally within your control.
Test number two: Know your SED rate. This is an inflammatory marker in the blood.
Test number one: Know your hsCRP and LP(a) levels. Both of these can be done as one test usually. Both are inflammatory markers as well as key indicators of heart health.
Go to your doctor and ask for these three blood tests. Usually they can be done all at once. Sometimes they are separate, but they are all crucial.
If you are thin and look healthy, listen to this:
You too can be Lance Armstrong or Jim Fixx....and not know it.
Lance and Jim looked like two of the healthiest men on the planet. Lance beat testicular cancer but came within an inch of his life. Jim died after a short jog of a heart attack very young in life.
Looks can be deceiving.
This is Sherry's argument -- and she's totally correct.
That's why I give you THREE (well, actually four) TESTS.
You see, it's virtually impossible to have a normal SED rate, a normal hsCRP level and a normal LP(a) level and be at imminent risk for any of these killer diseases.
Possible, perhaps -- but almost not.
So, if you look healthy and feel like a bazillion bucks, you still need to know your levels of these inflammatory markers.
If you are overweight or obese, you totally absolutely MUST do the waist/height test as well as the others.
You see, it goes both ways.
Some obese folks test out okay at the doc's office. Their cholesterol, blood pressure, and all typical readings are okay. Rarely does a doc run an hsCRP or LP(a). And rarely do they run a SED rate.
See the importance here?
Both the fit and the unfit can be at dire risk and not even know it.
Now, here's the solution:
A low-inflammatory nutrition and training plan, along with plenty of stress-free time.
I can help you with the first two things.
The third thing -- de-stressing -- is up to you. You may want to spend 30 minutes a day doing yoga, walking, meditating, praying, or whatever calms your MIND and BODY down.
Check it out:
Lance and Jim were both doing insane amounts of exercise... so much that they demanded insane amounts of high-inflammatory foods. Foods like processed carbohydrates for example.
And they both got sick. One of them died.
My good friend Dr. Steven Chase believes that 85% of cancer is preventable.
Re-read that: 85%. And he's an oncologist -- a cancer doctor.
And you know heart disease is 95% preventable... or did you?
But all of these killers, especially diabetes, demand a low-insulin, low-inflammatory nutrition and exercise plan.
Lance and Jim had sky-high inflammatory levels from all that exercise. It was literally TOO much exercise.
That's why so many marathoners die of heart attacks. They eat inflammatory foods and engage in high-stress exercise for too long of a time.
So, what's the answer?
1. Short workouts that are intense, effective, and enjoyable. Weights and cardio both, or in-home resistance workouts will work fine.
2. Longer "soft" workouts like brisk walking that helps de-stress the body and burn more bodyfat.
3. A nutrition plan that allows for your favorite foods at the RIGHT TIME of the day but also helps you burn bodyfat without activating your body's stress-producing hormones like cortisol...cool.
Most nutrition plans are stressful. Big mistake. Stress can cause you to hold on to bodyfat. Plus stress causes inflammation.
Most workout plans are either too easy or too intense for too long a period of time. My System is super-short (7-14 minutes a day, plus walks when you can.) This is enough to build all the muscle you need plus burn bodyfat when combined with the nutrition plan.
My System's nutrition plan is ideal if you are willing to "diet" for a day or two, then enjoy a day of eating "normal" foods.
Hey, no one is perfect. Anyone who has half a brain should know that not very many people (myself included) are willing to do without their favorite foods forever.
That's silly -- and it's not necessary to burn bodyfat.
In fact, my System 'demands' that you eat these foods at certain times TO BURN MORE BODYFAT!
Wild, isn't it?
It's the System I've used for years.
It's the combination of two books:
7 Minute Muscle + Every Other Day Diet
Get them both for one low price...
Go here:

Any of my three Upgrade Kits come with both books, a full year of support from me on the Every Other Day Diet group Forum, and so many bonuses I can't list them all.
This combo is something I am so very proud to share with you.
It's the ultimate System for lowering bodyfat, increasing lean muscle, lowering insulin, lowering inflammation, and ensuring your health.

How To Get Rid Of Arm Flab
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
Know someone who does?
Some women I know with a healthy sense of humor refer to it as "their wings" because their arm flab flaps when they walk or jog.
It's time to get rid of your wings ladies...
... and guys, listen up: You are not immune to arm flab. Even if your don't have any, the tips I'm about to give will help you build stronger arms.
Before I go any further, I have to tell you about Marty Web.
Marty looked like ... well, your typical 59-year-old housewife. Actually she looked a bit worse.
She was a good 80 pounds over her ideal bodyweight. And she had her wings...
... big time wings. Loads of arm flab.
That was at age 59.
At age 61... wow. Different story.
Marty transformed her body to such a degree that even I could have never guessed she was an OUNCE overweight!
Her story and 52 others just like her, male and female, are in my first book -- and my best-seller Fit Over 40.
I'd like you to read more about it here --
http://www.fitover40.com/go/fithealthy <--- cure for arm flab
Marty replaced her "wings" with toned, beautiful arms. And you can too.
She has two pages in Fit Over 40... too much to cover in an email... but here's the basics to get you started:
1. You have to get your nutrition down pat. Most people think that the flab on their arms (or anywhere for that matter) can be solved by "turning it into muscle."
This is not true folks. Fat does not turn into "anything". It is used for energy. Period.
Muscle is muscle. Fat is fat.
You must use low-insulin nutrition like I recommend in all my books, including Fit Over 40, to lower your bodyfat. For ladies, the back-of-the-arm bodyfat is often the last bit to go.
But I promise -- it will go. I can go for anyone. Marty Web and dozens of other ladies in Fit Over 40 prove that in living color... and they share how they did it.
Low-insulin nutrition means eating more protein-rich foods, foods that are not processed, and plenty of tasty veggies. But it does not mean you cannot have your pizza and burgers here and there. I do every week and my bodyfat is low.
2. You must train your triceps. The back of the arm is made of three muscles called the "triceps". You have a long head, a medial head and a lateral head that form the triceps muscle group.
If you cannot access a gym, you can do plain-old pushups to work all three heads of the triceps. Here's a few tips. First, if you cannot do a pushup with your legs straight, start by doing them on your knees. Work up to straight-legged pushups.
Second, do one third of your reps with your hands facing away from your body, one third with your hands facing toward your body (fingers pointing toward you) and the final third with your hands in the "normal" pushup position, facing the same direction as your body. This will work the various heads nicely.
If you have access to a gym, see the exercises for the triceps found in my book Fit Over 40:

3. Finally, you have to have a role model. Find someone like Marty who has lost their wings and use their success to inspire you.
Put these three things together and you too will be "grounded" -- wingless, but with a lovely pair of arms that never jiggle and look fantastic.
Got arm flab?
Know someone who does?
Some women I know with a healthy sense of humor refer to it as "their wings" because their arm flab flaps when they walk or jog.
It's time to get rid of your wings ladies...
... and guys, listen up: You are not immune to arm flab. Even if your don't have any, the tips I'm about to give will help you build stronger arms.
Before I go any further, I have to tell you about Marty Web.
Marty looked like ... well, your typical 59-year-old housewife. Actually she looked a bit worse.
She was a good 80 pounds over her ideal bodyweight. And she had her wings...
... big time wings. Loads of arm flab.
That was at age 59.
At age 61... wow. Different story.

New Research: Fat Is Contagious?
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]
It's like a dream come true.
"Gaining bodyfat is the result of a virus."
Wouldn't that be great news?
Well...
Let me tell you about the AD-36 adenovirus. Adenoviruses are the same nasty bugs that cause the common cold. We all have these viruses in various forms in our body all the time.
That last bit is a critical distinction.
Remember that.
The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana has been doing some really ground-breaking research on AD-36. AD-36 affects stem cells... more specifically fat cells, both pre-formed and post-formed.
This means AD-36 can make MORE fat cells if contracted as an infant and make your fat cells larger if contracted as an adult.
Or so the theory goes.
To quote the study:
"Earlier researchers have concluded that Ad-36 may be contributors to obesity by super-charging fat cells to grow and store more fat. Until now, though, those researchers thought the viruses targeted pre-fat cells (called pre-adipocytes), causing them to convert in higher numbers to fat cells and causing those fat cells to be larger. Those studies were in mice. Pasaricas work determines the virus targets stem cells in humans."
The result?
"In one test, a third of obese people had the rare and highly contagious virus compared to just 11 percent of thinner people. Weight gain can last three months until the body has built up resistance to the bug."
Wow. Sounds like we have a winner here. A virus that you can catch that literally makes you gain bodyfat! All we need is...
a vaccine!
Right?
Wrong.
First of all, notice that 11% of LEAN people have AD-36. And at any given time, just like a cold or a flu virus, you could contract AD-36. If your body has 'never' been exposed to it, you may require about 3 months to build up antibodies to ward it off.
Now, you can gain a lot of weight in 3 months... but come on. You cannot become obese in three months unless you are really, REALLY working at it.
Plus, like most viruses, you build up immunity to AD-36. Researchers do not know how long the immunity lasts, but some theorize it could last years... some even decades.
And let's not forget those 11% who are lean and have the virus.
Why did they not all of a sudden get "sick" with bodyfat?
Because they are not EATING or LIVING in a way that allows them to gain bodyfat no matter what nasty freakin' viruses may be floating about, that's why.
That's right folks: It is always going to come down to the food we put in our body and the way we move.
Here's another hypothesis presented by Sherry Strong, food philosopher and nutritionist: "This could very well be the result of nature creating a mutation to encourage us to eat more due to the fact our consumption of natural, whole and organic foods is so low."
Brilliant observation... and one tha makes complete sense.
Even if a "virus" is responsible for 20% of our weightgain, what about the other 80%?
We do not need a vaccine other than good food and a common sense workout plan.
Here's the best --
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/fithealthy<--- the "vaccine" for bodyfat
Here's why I love this workout:
1. It's fast. 7-14 minutes 3-5 days per week. Anyone on earth can do this.
2. The Basic Upgrade (you will see it) still comes with a copy of my book "The Every Other Day Diet." Put the two together and you have an absolute winner of a plan that's practical and enjoyable.
3. Plus, anyone who owns "Every Other Day Diet" gets my upcoming "Radical Fatloss Blueprint" book freee. It comes out March 1st.
That's 3 good reasons to go here and check out 7 Minute Muscle...
http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/fithealthy <--- the "vaccine" for bodyfat
Here's one more:
You know better.
You know that there's never going to be a magic pill for health, vitality, energy and looking your best.
We can keep hoping... or you can take action and get what you want now.
To me, that makes more sense than AD-36 "Super-Retro Fat-burning Vaccine" to hit the marketplace in 2021.
It's like a dream come true.
