Want to Blast Belly Fat For Good?No Comments »

Topics: Abs Exercise

Want to win the fight against stomach fat?

Well a recent study by the University of Virginia (which is where I went to college – Go Cavaliers!) showed that women who regularly did high intensity workouts (meaning they were breathing hard) had significantly less belly flab at the end of a four month period than women who always exercised at an easier level.

This is true even though both groups burned the same number of calories during the workout.

You see, training hard and pushing yourself may increase production of hormones that help burn fat after your exercise session ends and stomach fat may be more susceptible to this effect.

Here is a sample workout from the Abs Uncrunched program that will have you breathing hard and get rid of that excess belly flab.

100 turns of the jump rope
20 push ups
10 squat jumps

Perform as many rounds of this circuit as you can in 10 minutes.

The great thing about the workouts that get you breathing hard is that they don’t take a long time to do.

The above circuit takes just 10 minutes.

By the way, I wanted to share with you some excellent progress by one of my Abs Uncrunched clients, Nanette.

Here’s what she had to say after 9 weeks into the program…

“I have good news to report. I got two more (yup, you read that right, two more) unsolicited compliments this weekend from my neighbors. They both noticed that I am getting more toned. How sweet is that? It is a really a great feeling. Getting compliments, especially when you least expect them, makes all the hard work of staying committed to the nutrition plan and workouts worth it. I know I initially started the program for me, for my health, and to feel better about the
way I look. And honestly, that is what motivated me most, and kept me motivated. But I don’t mind saying I like the perks of people noticing my hard work.

For anyone having a hard time staying motivated take it from me, Abs Uncrunched works.”

Congratulations to Nanette. I’m very proud of her. :)

Have an amazing day.

Scott

Flat Belly DietNo Comments »

Topics: Abs Nutrition

Hey I just did an interview with Isabel De Los Rios, the author of The Diet Solution Program and she gave some amazing strategies on how you should be eating to get a flat belly.

Some of the questions she answered were:

When is the best time to take in most of your carbs?

Can the Acai berry help you lose weight?

What is a healthy level of fat to have in your meal plans?

What are the best foods for a vegan to eat for a flat firm belly?

And quite a few more questions (over 20 as a matter of fact)

Hope you enjoy the interview. :)

1 Minute 56 Second Fat Burning Workout12 Comments

Topics: Abs Exercise

So my fat burning workout today was 1 minute and 56 seconds. Is that long enough to see real results? I think so. I mean after all I was breathing hard and sweating quite a bit. The intensity was high.

You see, my workout consisted of 8 rounds of sprinting. Each sprint was roughly 15 seconds, give or take a second. And the total amount of time I sprinted was 1 minute 56 seconds. Of course I had to rest in between sets to catch my breath and recover for the next round of sprints. How long did I rest? I don’t know – didn’t time it. I simply rested until I caught my breath and was ready for the next round of sprinting.

Now there is a lot of research showing that sprinting has amazing health benefits and is a great fat burning workout. If you’re not into research, no problem. Just do a Google search for sprinting to see the type of lean bodies that sprinters have. Still not convinced that 1 minute and 56 seconds is long enough for a fat burning workout? What about 4 minutes? When Roger Bannister became the first person to run the mile in less than 4 minutes, that was an amazing workout. Or how about 5 minutes and 53 seconds? This was my time when I ran the mile as fast as I could back in November (see the video below). I can tell you I absolutely got a great workout.

If you still aren’t convinced, I encourage you to go out and try running some 10 second sprints at a local track. I would also encourage you to be familiar with interval training first and follow the protocol in Abs Uncrunched before trying all out sprinting. Make sure you warm up before you do a max effort. And sprinting doesn’t have to be running. Try going as fast as you can on a stationary bike.

The days where you could use the excuse “I don’t have time to workout” are over. Crank up the intensity, give maximum effort and your workouts will only last a few minutes a day. And your results will amaze you even more. I would love to hear what you think.

Have a great one…

Scott
