Believe it or not, Thanksgiving here in the United States is just 2 short months away.

It’s a dangerous time of year as the majority of people overeat and begin to skip their workouts.

So I want to challenge you if I may.

I want you to set some performance goals that you want to accomplish by Thanksgiving.

By performance goal, I don’t mean weight loss goal, like lose 20 pounds.

It should be something like doing 50 consecutive push ups.

Stretch your limits a little bit here…

Here are my performance goals that I will accomplish by Thanksgiving…

100 consecutive push ups

20 consecutive pull ups

Bear crawl the length of a football field without my knees touching the ground

Run a 6 minute mile.

I’ll use the 4-Minute Workouts quite a bit to help increase my strength and endurance and will also be developing some new training protocols.

All of these goals will push me to my limits, epecially the 20 pull ups.

I will make a video of me reaching each goal which will help keep me accountable.

You wanna know what the cool thing is?

By training to reach these performance goals, I will be developing a better body in the process.

So don’t get hung up on weight loss goals.

Increase your performance and a better body will be the natural result.

So what are your performance goals that you can accomplish by Thanksgiving?

Please post them on the Comments section below and keep everyone informed.

This should be fun.

Have an amazing day.

Ok, so I actually mixed my guacamole with lime juice and pressed it down with saran wrap to keep it fresh.

I opened up the container to check on the freshness.

Check out the video to see if it worked…

So I love to eat guacamole. It contains avocados which contain the types of monounsaturated fats that are good for your body.

The problem is, usually I can’t eat a whole container of it at once, but if I save some for the next day, it usually turns brown.

So my question is how do I keep guacamole fresh for longer than I day?

I went to a very interesting resource on the web to find the answer: Twitter

By the way, want to know the best way to keep guacamole fresh?

It may not be what you think. Check out the video.

Have an amazing day,

3) will this work for any age?

Jon answered all these questions which you can and you can listen to the entire interview below.

Enjoy!

Have an amazing day.

Howdy,

Sorry I haven’t written in a few days.

I’ve been out of town at Ryan Lee’s conference and just got in yesterday.

I’ve been traveling for the last 4 weeks and I’m a little beat.

But I wanted to give you a quick heads up.

You know by now I’m a big big believer in short, intense workouts as the best type of training for blasting fat, especially belly fat.

But unfortunately a lot of you are still wasting your time…

Wasting your time by not doing the most effective and efficient type of training.

And unfortunately, you’re not seeing the type of fat loss results that you hoped for.

Well my buddy Jon Benson who is also here in Dallas has just created a new workout system and it might be just what you need.

It’s called…

7 Minute Muscle.

Check out the video below as I talk to you a little bit about it including a case study of someone who is actually using the program now.

And watch the video all the way to the end as we have two more endorsers of the program.

After you watch the video please check out this website. ==>

Have an amazing day.

There was a lot of response to my post about the high fructose corn syrup commercials.

Most of you couldn’t believe your eyes when you saw these commercials, and were outraged.

However there were other opinions as well.

One person said that we are all bigoted towards high fructose corn syrup and that there is nothing dangerous about high fructose corn syrup at all.

That surprised me to hear that.

In response, I wanted to get a registered dietitian’s opinion.

So I just called Jayson Hunter, author of The Carb Rotation Diet, and we had a brief conversation about the high fructose corn syrup commercials.

Take a listen and please share your thoughts.

Do you agree what Jayson had to say?

Do you agree with the other comment that high fructose corn syrup is not dangerous?

Thanks for listening.

I just watched two television commercials that said high fructose corn syrup is ok to eat.

Are you kidding me?

Is this what we’ve come to?

Are we now just waving the white flag and giving up?

Are we saying that obesity is fine and dandy?

Are we saying that the rise in Type II Diabetes doesn’t mean anything to us?

Are you OK with your kids getting sick and fat and diseased?

Do you want to continue to put this type of garbage in your body?

Look, High Fructose Corn Syrup is 20% cheaper than sugar.

It’s a 4.5 BILLION dollar industry.

It came to the market in the late 70’s, obesity levels at that time were stable.

Now 50% of our sweeteners are HFCS derived.

Per person consumption is at a 73.5 lbs PER YEAR.

That’s a lot of sweetener!!

Obesity rates in teens have TRIPLED

You do the math.

These kinds of commercials need to be banned from the airways as soon as possible.

If you haven’t seen the commercials I’m talking about, you can view them below.

And I would love for you to leave your comments.

Have an amazing day.

Howdy,

I wanted to share a secret with you to get better results in your abs workout.

It has to do with where you position your arms during your leg exercises.

Huh?

I know it sounds funny to say you’re going to get better results with your abs workout when all I’m talking about are your arms and leg exercises.

But watch the video and I’ll show you what I mean.

Have an amazing day.

Howdy,

I’m still in Vail, Colorado, hanging out with my friend Mike Geary, author of The Truth About Six-Pack Abs.

A few weeks ago, I made a video describing a trick that will help you blast belly fat faster, and I put it to the test yesterday.

The trick to burn belly fat faster and to never hit a fat loss plateau is to incorporate variety into your workouts.

Here’s how I did that yesterday.

I rented a mountain bike and Mike took me to a steep mountain out in West Vail.

We then proceeded to do a long, grueling uphill mountain bike ride.

Well at least it was grueling for me.

There were several times where I had to stop as I was gasping for air while Mike pretty much just laughed at me.

But hey, I wasn’t acclimated to the high altitude yet.

So why did this mountain bike ride help me blast more belly fat?

1) I had not gone mountain biking in a year, so it was a shock to my system and something new.

Anytime you can shock your system and do something different in your workouts, you will see results (see video below on how to do this).

2) The ride had me really gasping for air and got me into my anaerobic threshold.

When you train in this manner, your metabolism sky rockets and you end up burning fat all day long.

That’s something we all want, right?

So, what can you do in your current workout to change it up and add variety?

Let’s face it, there are so many people doing 3 sets of 10 reps of the same 8-10 exercises or walking on the treadmill for an hour a day.

And they’ve been doing this week after week and month after month and have stopped seeing results.

Well shock your system.

Incorporate more variety into your workouts.

I explain exactly how to do this in the video.

Have an amazing day.

I just did a great mountain bike ride with my good friend Mike Geary, author of The Truth About Six-Pack Abs.

I’ll tell you exactly why this type of workout is good for developing a flat stomach and six-pack abs in my next post.

But right now I wanted to tell you what Mike whipped up for our Abs Diet - Post Workout Nutrition.

We had a shake right after we got back home which consisted of raw milk, strawberries, frozen bananas, organic peanut butter, a little honey and a little cocoa powder.

It was a great meal to recover from our bike ride and extremely delicious too.

Go ahead and try it out.

Don’t forget to leave a comment and tell me what you think about it.

Have a great day.

Scott
