SOME COOL NEW RULES FOR LIFTING... from one of my favorite trainers Alwyn Cosgrove..
These are just some of my favorites
New Rules:
THE BEST muscle building (lean muscle) exercises are the ones that use your muscles the way they are designed to work.
Exercise that use lots of muscles in coordinated action are better than those that force muscles to work in isolation
5. The goal of each workout is to set a record...Never do the same workout twice...(it means do a little more each time)
6. The weight you lift is a tool to reach your goals, it's NOT the goal itself
7. I love this one...DONT DO THE MACHINES "When someone says I'm not getting the most out of my workouts...I ask what they are doing...he or she will say..I do the machines..."
8.A workout is only good as the adaptations it produces..
9. These is NO magic system of exercise, sets and reps.. ( Ever notice the stop watch at Bootcamp and the frequent and constant changes)
11.You'll get Better results working your ass off on a bad program than you will loafing through a good one...( how about working your but off in a good program)
12. Fast lifting is not more dangerous than slow lifting
14. Stretching is Not a warm up
These are just some of the Rules in Alwyn's Book...
If you want Results...Real Results you have to get Better...visualize your body the way you want it...commit to eating better..workout out like you want it!
I'll be back with more tomorrow...

"Without This… You Won’t Efficiently Metabolize Fat*"
Hi Everyone,
I just read this email from Dr. Mercola from (http://www.mercola.com/ )
Very interesting...read on:
With a 25% chance every cell and tissue in your body has less than optimal levels of this nutrient, your metabolism can be totally inefficient in burning fat, generating energy, and absorbing vital nutrients.* Here’s what to do…
Many experts previously believed that strict vegetarians were the primary group that could develop a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you had adequate stores of this important nutrient in your body, the experts believed you were “safe” for many years from developing a B12 deficiency..
Now we know better.
Vitamin B12 depletion and deficiency are much more common than previously thought, especially in the over-60 population. In fact, it’s believed that almost one in four people over 60 have deficient levels of this vital vitamin.
Equally disturbing are emerging signs that other age groups harbor suboptimal blood levels of B12 as well.
Why is vitamin B12 deficiency such a big deal?
Your body depends on vitamin B12 for a host of functions, including…
Helping to maintain normal energy levels*
Promoting healthy neurological activity, including mental alertness*
Supporting normal homocysteine levels for healthy cardiac function*
Helping to ease occasional stress and sleeplessness*
Maintaining healthy cell growth and repair*
Promoting normal immune function*
Supporting normal metabolism of carbohydrates and fats*
When your blood levels of vitamin B12 are low, one or more of these functions may be disrupted.*
Without adequate blood levels of B12, you can experience symptoms related to low energy, mental fatigue, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and even occasional indigestion.*
Your body relies on the efficient conversion of carbohydrates to glucose – your body’s source of fuel – just like your car needs to be able to use gas to run smoothly. Vitamin B12 plays a major role in that conversion in your body.* Likewise, B12 enables your body to convert fatty acids into energy as well.*
Contrary to what you might have heard, there’s really no solid evidence that supplemental vitamin B12 helps you lose weight.
Overall, vitamin B12 is a nutrient your body cannot do without for efficient, healthy metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.*
What Critical Health Benefits Does this Vitamin Bring to the Table?
For starters, vitamin B-12 helps folic acid regulate the formation of red blood cells, and helps your body use iron*.
In addition, it is also needed for proper digestion, food absorption, carbohydrate and fat metabolism.* It also helps keep your nervous system healthy by assisting the nerves of your body to function and communicate in an optimal manner.*
But that's not all...far from it!
B-12 also helps in cell formation and cellular longevity.* Plus, it can support female reproductive health, and promote normal nerve growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths.* These fatty sheaths play a vital role as they cover and protect your nerve endings.*
What's more, this workhorse of a micronutrient is critical to your circulation and adrenal hormone production -- plus, it helps boost your immunity.* And, oh yes, let's not forget...
Vitamin B-12 supports a healthy mood and feelings of well-being.* And then there's this -- it also provides excellent support for your memory, mental clarity, and concentration.*
Aside from using B-12 to give you an energy boost, when does it also make sense to supplement with this all-important vitamin? Well, there are several good reasons to take vitamin B-12
And the first reason to take it is if you are a carb type or a strict vegetarian.
If You Avoid Meat, You Probably Need to Take B-12
Vegetarians have an increased need for vitamin B-12
Many people avoid red meats for a large variety of reasons. If you are one of them, you are at a high risk for developing vitamin B-12 deficiency. Why? Because plant sources have virtually no vitamin B-12. And oral forms of B-12 in nearly all supplements are practically useless, as little is absorbed into your bloodstream.
Vegetarians should take this essential micronutrient to ensure an adequate supply of it, because it is found almost exclusively in animal tissues. And, the few plant foods that are sources of B-12 are actually B-12 analogs -- not the form that provides all the benefits of the real deal.
Simply put, an analog is a substance that blocks the uptake of true B-12. The result being, your body's need for the nutrient actually increases.
Furthermore, your body's need for this nutrient may also increase if you take Metformin©. Metformin may interfere with calcium metabolism. And this interference may reduce B-12 absorption, because this absorption requires calcium.
Studies suggest that 10% to 30% of patients taking Metformin show evidence of reduced vitamin B-12 absorption. That's why it is important to speak with your doctor to discuss the best way to maintain B-12 levels when taking this medication.
Now, if getting a good night's sleep has also become increasingly more difficult for you, here's...
What Your Sleeping Difficulties May Be Trying to Tell You!
If you suffer from sleeping difficulties, I recommend taking vitamin B-12 during the day. I believe it can help you.* Here's why.
B-12 plays a vital role in melatonin production.* Melatonin has been called "the sleep hormone" because it is responsible for letting you get a good night's sleep.
As you age, it becomes increasingly more difficult to get a good night's sleep because your body becomes less efficient at making this hormone. And that's why it's a good idea to take B-12 to help you sleep like a baby each night.*
Moreover, a lack of adequate B-12 can have other annoying consequences too.
Do You or a Loved One Experience Any of the Following?
Not many know it, but if you or a family member experience:
Tiredness and feelings of weakness...*
Less-than-optimal nervous system functioning...*
Less-than-optimal eye health...*
Loss of appetite and unintended weight loss...*
Occasional constipation and gas...*
Feelings of mild moodiness...*
Less-than-optimal memory...*
A tendency toward nervousness...*
Less-than-optimal balance...*
Less-than-optimal liver or heart health...*
Premature grey hair...
Occasional digestive issues...
...you may need to supplement with vitamin B-12, even if you eat foods rich in B-12. Oddly enough, that wasn't a typo.
You can eat plenty of meat, poultry, lamb's liver, brewer's yeast, clams, eggs, herring, mackerel, kidneys, milk, dairy products, or seafood -- and still have low levels of B-12. How can that be?
It could be because your body is unable to absorb it from your gut. You see B-12 needs the help of a protein in order to be absorbed. That protein is called intrinsic factor. And because the lining of your stomach makes intrinsic factor, people with less-than-optimal gastrointestinal health often need to supplement with B-12.*
Likewise, most people over the age of 50 have a limited ability to absorb B-12, too. Thus, the need for supplementation

This first article will knock your socks off. I mean, really, who knew that coffee beans were so much more than, well, coffee?

Next, you'll be stunned by how powerful Brussel Sprouts are. And Barley Grass, too. Bet you thought Barley was just for beer, right? ;-)

6 Spots Left
(open to both local residents and online clients)
Happy Saturday...
- It’s time. Are you ready?
I have updated my original 28 day fat MELTING fit Program
Spring is coming and I have developed a 14 Day Fast Fat Loss Program and I need some testers....
And I shouldn't say “some” – I need SERIOUS testers. Real ACTION TAKERS.
Let me make something perfectly clear:
THIS DIET IS NOT FOR WUSSES
It will involve utilizing old school fat loss methods combined with cutting edge nutritional protocols to deliver superior results. It is a low calorie, low carb full-on body fat attack diet.
Now...I have tested in closed doors, and now it's time to test with the public
Think you can’t make real changes in 14 days...THINK AGAIN
Here’s the deal – I Sent out an email yesterday where I would take 14 people to test drive this program...
7 Men
7 Women
But Now I only have 6 SPOTS left
I am looking for 6 (and only 6 more) highly motivated people willing to commit to a brand new 14 day rapid fat loss program.
Yes 14 days.!!!
The goal is to jump start your fat loss and create an unmatched program that is so mind blowing in the first 14 days that you will be motivated to continue at an accelerated rate.
This program is for anyone who:
Is Short on time but high on desire
Wants Rapid fat loss with minimal time investment
Is stuck on their current routine
Needs a jumpstart to get back in shape
Needs to augment their current routine with fat burning
Needs a Stepping stone to an on-going fitness plan
This is for people who live locally or across the WORLD... You will receive a training program that can be done at home or at a gym as well as the full Miami Fat Loss Diet nutritional program...all via email
And yes, you will get coaching from me personally.
Is there a catch? Well duh.
The catch is The Program will Sell for $227 when I put it out, but while I am sure it works, I want real people to say "Wow I did it and it worked". I will let you.. if you are 1 of the 14 people try it for just $47....You will be required to comply with the fitness program 100% (consequences apply). And that you provide a before and after picture so I can use it in my marketing once I release this system to the public at a ‘regular’ price
I have created similar programs to this in the past that have yielded MANY MANY pounds lost in one month, I expect nothing less with this one...in just 14 days.
Because these fat loss methods are so unique you will be sworn to secrecy.
So… You want in? Here’s your chance.
Get it here for Just $47
***MANDATORY***
Send an email after you enroll that includes:
Current “before” photo
Body stats (age, height, weight, waist measurement & bodyfat percentage if you know)
The city where you live and work
DO NOT EMAIL WITHOUT THE ABOVE INFO!!!
Again, for the first time this beta test is open for both local residents and online clients.
I WILL ONLY TAKE 14 People
THE MIAMI FAT LOSS PROGRAM starts MONDAY!
That’s it come and get it. ==>> JOIN HERE
