[audio] Insane amount of free diet information!

Written by Jon on September 8th, 2010

Scott Colby, CPT just interviewed me recently for “Fit Pros Against Cancer.” My job: Help give away a TON of free fitness information to his listeners as they called into the show. And I think I did a pretty good job. You tell me… ; ) Here’s what we cover in just about 30 minutes… How much fat can you burn (and inches can you lose) in just 6 days?… How to make fatloss “easier” (not ‘easy’… but easier!)… What to do about perimenopause and menopause stress and the fat-gain that comes with it… AND… The “Stress-Free” dietplan for women who fight the “pooch” or who are going through perimenopause or menopause! Is exercise worthless if you sit down while you work?… What about ...

“Micro-Session” Cardio Works Best

Written by Jon on September 7th, 2010

Several recent studies have pointed to the validity of doing very short cardio sessions (10 minutes) several times a day as being as beneficial… or even better… than one longer session. I agree, assuming you do some form of interval work in your cardio sessions. In fact, unless you want to drop a lot of bodyfat, you can get by with one 9-minute session a day if you do it right. Quick Start: Try three super-short sessions with at least a 2-3 minute higher-intensity ‘burst’ in the middle. You do not have to go to the gym to do this. You can do this by walking stairs, stepping up and down on a low platform, or even walking outside. Let’s face it: 10 minutes is a lot easier on the brain than 30 minutes… and just as good. For More Information: When you pick up ...

The Best 16-Minute Workout EVER

Written by Jon on August 15th, 2010

When I wrote “7 Minute Muscle” and “7 Minute Body” (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought I was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor. I was right… and I was wrong. I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages. I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle: THIS makes people THINNER… 7 Minute Body workouts

The Science Behind Shorter Workouts

Written by Jon on July 28th, 2010

A few years ago I released a book whose title was more reminiscent of a line out of “There’s Something About Mary” than a serious work on fitness. “7 Minute Muscle” — yep, it’s getting more and more difficult to distinguish fact from parody. Since that time its kissing cousin, “7 Minute Body”, has been released, featuring a complete in-home version of the same workout principles covered in 7 Minute Muscle, as found below: 7 Minute Workout Solution

My “Dirty” Physique Shots

Written by Jon on July 15th, 2010

Hey… HEY! Keep your mind out of the gutter! By “dirty” I mean down and dirty… as in taken with my crappy iPhone camera by my friend and guru trainer Roland… while looking into a mirror… with no lighting, tan… Well, you get the point. Here’s an example… this was me listening to Nine Inch Nail’s song Vessel so I wasn’t exactly all-smiles… but I like listening to aggressive music when I train. My training partner/trainer Roland took this shot while I was staring in the mirror contemplating the next Smith Machine Press set with only 40 seconds of rest and using 225 pounds… yikers… my aching delts! Keep reading… I’ll explain. First, notice the definition in the arms, delts, and chest… (kidding… ...
