Lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce the risk of disease, and become physically fit–in just 4 weeks.

Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is used to responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that some of his fellow Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX, were in dire physical condition-several had dangerously high cholesterol levels (the highest was 344!)-he sprang into action and created a life-saving plan for the firehouse. By following Rip’s program, everyone lost weight (some more than 20 lbs.), lowered their cholesterol (Mr. 344′s dropped to 196), and improved their overall health. Now, Rip outlines his proven plan in this book. With Rip as your expert coach and motivator, you’ll transform your body and lifestyle in a month. His plant-powered eating plan is based on a diet of whole foods, including whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This invaluable guide features: **Dozens of easy, mouthwatering recipes-from pancakes to pizza, Tex-Mex favorites to knockout chocolate desserts-that will keep you looking forward to every bite **Pantry-stocking tips will take the panic out of inevitable cravings and on-the-fly meals **Guidelines on menu choices that will allow you to eat out, wherever and whenever you want **Rip’s simple, firefighter-inspired exercise program that will boost your metabolism and melt your fat away.

Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly effective, this diet is designed for anyone who wants to make heroic strides in his or her health, weight, and well-being-all without heroic effort.

“I’ve known Rip for more than 20 years. In that time, he’s been a great motivator for so many people. This terrific book will inspire all who read it to change their lives and optimize their health.” -Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, seven-time Tour de France champion

“Want to be as strong as a Texas firefighter? Or as healthy as a professional triathlete? Then follow the wonderful advice of Rip Esselstyn, who is both. His book can save your life–whether you’re a man or a woman. Highly recommended!” -Dean Ornish, M.D., Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Clinical Professor of Medicine, U of California SF, author, Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease

Learn more about Ben Pakulski’s Muscle Building Workout at www.MI40System.com I went to University of Western Ontario with Big Ben back in the day and was able to catch up with him at Gold’s Gym in Venice California. We went for lunch at the legendary Firehouse (where all the great’s hung out) and then did a mini interview for you outside the gym. Ben takes a very holistic and intelligent approach to bodybuilding that goes FAR beyond just eating, training and sleeping. It’s all about OPTIMIZATION and Ben shared some really insightful lessons in this video. I’m hoping to team up with him in the New Year to put together a KILLER KILLER product for you guys… stay tuned. And be sure to pick up Ben’s DVD… I laughed at him when he told me the price… it’s worth 20x more than what you can get it for… I watched it on the plane ride to LA and both Flavia and I really learned a lot, especially the nutritional section. http Cheers Vince

Build Muscle Faster With Mezomorph Body Type Sport Fitness Secrets

Posted on May 19, 2012 by healthy

You’ll see them on the volleyball or football field or the gymnastic competition; they look like Greek gods and goddesses. Their wide shoulders and slim waists resting on top of powerful thighs and well turned calves indicate that these men and women are mesomporphs.

What exactly is a mesomorph?

The mesomorph is a somatype that is built for endurance and heavy work. You’ll find the body type in the gym or on the field. High school coaches look for this type of build for their team sports. They are easily spotted by their uniform shape. Their calves are slightly over proportion to their thighs. The muscles in their thighs are usually larger than those of the other two somatypes and mesomorphs are built very athletically.

These folks can build muscle quickly. When they are out of shape, they can recover and gain mass with a bit of focused effort and consistency. They have well-defined pectorals and deltoid muscles that are typically larger and broader than their waistline. They define the triangular shape we see so often in sports magazines or when left untrained, will have a solid square shape.

When a mesomorph is out of shape, they tend to get chunky and fat.

They develop a square shaped torso and based on their current diet, will get the overhanging spare tire. The good news is that this bodytype sheds fat and burns it up quickly with high impact/high intensity workouts. The goal is to get your metabolism back up and start challenging your muscles to work on progressively heavier loads.

The classic bodybuilder’s diet program works well for the mesomorph bodytype. Eat six small meals a day and get your balance of proteins, good fats and clean complex carbs in each meal. This will allow you to get nourishment to your cells, curb cravings and stabilize blood sugar levels. If you’ve been out of shape for a long time, your metabolism needs to be improved, so stay away from simple sugars and starches.

Supersets with compound exercises will allow you to quickly pack on muscle while a short duration / high intensity aerobic workout like jump rope or sprints will get your fat burning furnace going in no time.

Try the 15 Minute Power Workout to jumpstart your training. Here is the basic routine:

1. Squats
2. Lunges
3. Bent over rows
4. One leg calf lifts
5. Push ups
6. Crunches
7. Arm and leg lifts
8. Chest press
9. Bicep curls
10.Standing dumbbell side lift
11.Rotator cuff rotation
12.Overhead shoulder press
13.Lateral raise
14.Tricep extensions or dips
15.Shrugs

You’ll do each exercise for 1 minute. Exercises that require you to switch sides are done for 30 seconds a side. You will go at a maximum intensity and forget about counting reps. Each set is completed to near muscle failure. Your bodyweight exercises can be adjusted to meet your maximum stress level by changing tempo, intensity or position.

This should get most mesomorphs up to speed in no time. Get plenty of rest and graduate to two giant sets of 15 minutes each per workout.

The 17 Day Diet: A Doctor’s Plan Designed for Rapid Results

List Price: $25.00

Your Price: $11.70-

If you need to shed pounds fast and in a safe, effective, and lasting way, this is the book for you! Unlike many diet programs that starve you down to size, Dr. Mike Moreno’s 17 Day Diet relies on proven methods to help you take weight off and keep it off for good—whether you’ve got 10 pounds to lose or 100. His revolutionary program adjusts your body metabolically so that you burn fat day in and day out. The program is structured around four 17 day cycles:

Accelerate—the rapid weight loss portion that helps flush sugar and fat storage from your system

Activate—the metabolic restart portion with alternating low and high calorie days to help shed body fat

Achieve—this phase is about learning to control portions and introducing new fitness routines

Arrive—a combination of the first three cycles to keep good habits up for good. On weekends, enjoy your favorite foods!

Each cycle changes your calorie count and the food that you’re eating. The variation that Dr. Mike calls ‘body confusion’ keeps your metabolism guessing; this means that you can expect big changes in the first 17 days alone!

This is not a diet that relies on a tiny list of approved foods, grueling exercise routines, or unrealistic calorie counts that leave you hungry and unfulfilled. Moderation and proper portions are key factors in the 17 Day Diet—the trick is to figure out the foods and routines that work best with your real lifestyle. That’s why the book is filled with tips for how to avoid the usual food pitfalls like holidays, eating out, or even just a tempting candy jar. Along with a comprehensive explanation of how each segment works, every phase comes with an extensive list of foods, recipes, and sample meal plans to help make grocery shopping a breeze. Because of the diversity that you are allowed from the very beginning of the program, there is a way to make this diet work with almost any food allergies you might have or what cuisine you’re used to eating.

The 17 Day Diet is a simple plan that gets big, long-lasting results if you stick with it and let Dr. Mike help you along the way. Whether this is your first attempt at dieting or your fiftieth, you must believe that you can do this. What matters now is focusing on your goals, identifying what you need to get there, and taking action to begin the process. Your health and happiness are important, so stand strong, believe in yourself, and let your 17 Day Diet begin now!

Full Body Workout Programs – A Full Body Workout Program Designed To Build Maximum Muscle

Posted on May 18, 2012 by healthy

Full Body Workout Programs

If you’re looking to build muscle on a bodybuilding program, a full-body workout approach is a terrific idea. Such a program is going to maximize the frequency at which you hit each muscle group, which is one of the biggest determining factors as to whether or not you are successfully able to gain the weight you are hoping to.

Furthermore, since on a full body program you will only be in the gym lifting three days a week, this leaves four full days off for rest and recovery – which is also essential if you hope to build muscle and gain weight.

That said, do keep in mind that with a full body program, you will need to be mindful about the total number of exercises selected. On a bodypart split approach you can definitely do three to four different movements for each muscle group worked because of the fact you are only working one or two muscles a day. On the full body program though, you’re working so many muscle groups that the total number of different exercises per part needs to be drastically reduced.

Here is a full body set-up that will work very well for anyone who is looking to ramp up their weight gain and get some good results in a short period of time. Full Body Workout Programs

Day 1

Squats – 4 sets of 6

Bench Press – 4 sets of 6

Deadlift – 4 sets of 6

Bicep curl – 2 sets of 8

Tricep Kickback – 2 sets of 8

Calf Raises – 2 sets of 10-15

Day 2

Squats – 4 sets of 6

Military Press – 4 sets of 6

Row – 4 sets of 6

Lateral Raise – 2 sets of 8

Leg Extension – 2 sets of 8

Hamstring Curl – 2 sets of 8

Day 3

Squats – 4 sets of 6

Bench Press – 4 sets of 6

Deadlift – 4 sets of 6

Weighted Back extensions – 2 sets of 8

Weight Leg Raises – 2 sets of 8

Calf Raises – 2 sets of 10-15

The way you synchronize these days is up to you as long as you have one day off in between each.

So for example, you may do the workouts Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Or, if you prefer to workout on the weekend, you could do them on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday or Sunday. Either set-up will work provided there are no back to back sessions.

Further, while doing a full body program, since it is so intense in nature, it’s really going to be best for you to try and avoid doing too much intense cardio work as well. While you can certainly do some cardio, you should keep it light and for limited duration.

Doing sprints on all the off days would count as leg workouts and considering you’re squatting three times a week with this program, definitely not something you want to do.

If you’re looking to gain strength and muscle mass, weight lifting should be where your priority is at. Full Body Workout Programs
