There’s no arguing the fact that flat stomachs are sexy.

Whether you’re wearing a bulky sweater or a bikini, a flat stomach improves your appearance. But there’s more to a flat stomach than the apparent physical benefits.

A flat stomach eliminates the danger of deep-hidden belly fat around your organs which can increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer.

A flat stomach means lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides, lower blood pressure and optimal insulin levels.

According to a report on ABC based on a study conducted by Lynda Powell, Ph.D. Rush University Medical Center, Doctors say 30 minutes of physical activity, whether it be walking or even dancing, can have a positive effect on visceral fat, this hidden belly fat. And losing as little as 5 to 10 pounds or trimming 2 inches from your waist can make a difference.

And while the ultimate goal is to have flat sexy abs, the first step for men is to get their waist circumference under 40 inches and for women to get their waist circumference under 38 inches.

The question is how…and that’s when a structured diet and exercise program can be a tremendous help.

If you’re interested in both improving your health (living a longer, better life) and trimming your abs so you can wear your clothes with confidence, take a look at the truth about a Flat Stomach!

 “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

There is no doubt that the Health and Fitness Industry is BOOMING!

Even Though the “Failure Rate” is 98%!

Most people are searching desperately to regain Health and Fitness and searching for an Income Opportunity as well.

But why the 98% Failure Rate?

Here’s why the Opportunity to Earn Residual Income has such a HIGH failure rate.

Almost every Health and Fitness Opportunity is doomed for everyday people such as yourself. Why? These programs are designed by Marketers, not Fitness Experts. They have a product that may work for some, but not for the average person. It’s NOT GOING TO CREATE ANY RESIDUAL INCOME because the Product itself is not “doable”.

NOW, It’s Time for a Change

Our Opportunity with the 7 Minute Workout was created by Marketing Pro Joel Therien, who has 12 years of Internet Marketing Success with goGVO Hosting and GVO Conference. He is also a Fitness Expert and Personal Fitness Coach, having University Degrees in Cardio Rehabilitation.

Joel Therien along with World Champion TaeKwonDo Competitor and Martial Arts Instructor, Chris Reid, have joined together to design a Fitness Program that will appeal to anyone, regardless of age, gender or personal health challenges.

The 7 Minute Workout is “doable”. All you have to do is follow the Exercises (which you will love) and when people ask, “WoW, how did you lose all that weight. You look GREAT!”. Then you can tell them about the 7 Minute Workout. You have proven to them that the Program Works

Here Is The Opportunity to Become Fit and get in the “Best Shape of your Life”

Every Fitness Program comes with the mistaken concept that if you work out for 2 hours, 90 minutes or 1 hour every day for 6 days a week you will get results. We all know that THAT just doesn’t work.

All these Fitness Programs are boring, time-consuming and expensive. Who wants to run on a Treadmill for an hour, do repetitive sets of exercises, run or jog for miles, and/or pay for an expensive Gym Membership? Not me, nor anyone else I know.

What If:

You did not have to do ANY of these boring exercises ever again?

You could work out AT HOME for only 7 Minutes A Day, 3 times a week?

NOW YOU CAN.

Joel

You’re probably thinking, “That won’t work. It takes hours of exercise every day to get in shape”.

“Not So”, says Fitness Expert Joel Therien. “I have been training using this EXACT EXERCISE PROGRAM for over 20 years. I was a Professional Body Builder for a lot of those years, and this is how I trained and still do today to keep myself in shape.”

Over 500 people of all ages, even people who have Health Challenges, joined our Beta Testing Program. AND, they are ecstatic with their results.

What’s the Catch?

Will I have to buy “Expensive Food Packages” or go on an impossible DIET?

NO!

Learn Two things:

1. Fiber is your friend

2. High Quality Protein Builds Muscle and Burns Fat

Will I have to go to Meetings or hire a Personal Trainer?

NO!

All the exercise programs are tailored to YOU, your lifestyle, your age, and any Health Challenges

Chris and Joel

Your exercises are in video format, performed by Certified Personal Trainers, Joel Therien and Chris Reid

We have a HUGE Community of members who are working with you, will encourage you, and answer your questions

So, What Are You Waiting For?

It’s time to become a Success in the Health and Fitness Industry.

Rusty

My friend and training partner, Rusty Folsom, is going to Afghanistan to work for a year. He is not in the military, but is a civilian and is an IT professional. Rusty has two jobs, one in IT and the other as a trainer at our local YMCA.

You see, Rusty wants more from life and believes he can achieve it by leaving the safety of America and going to Afghanistan to work. I think that is so cool and I’m very proud of Rusty. Rusty is married so he is leaving someone behind. It was not an easy decision for Rusty.

I think Rusty just hit upon the solution to America’s unemployment problem. If more people would get out of their comfort zone and do what ever it takes to get a job America’s unemployment problem could be solved.  Hey, this is just me talking.

Ok, enough said about Rusty, now let me tell you about my workout for today. Parts of it were very tough.

I started out with 30 minutes on the stationary bike, not hard, only
went 5.35 miles and burned 164 calories. Yes, I watch Fox and Friends, but I tell you I think I’m going to switch to listening to music. The news sure drains the energy from me.

Then I did 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer, the one where you can use your arms.  That was more difficult, I burned 275 calories and went 2.48 miles.

I’m including pictures of all the machines I used today.

Now the 7 minute workout was the most difficult, I sure felt it later.

The first exercise I did was the incline bench press and I use the Smith Machine.  After my warm of 10 reps, I did 4 reps to failure using a weight of 140 pounds. My goal is to reach failure with only 4 reps with each exercise. This truly works my muscles and I’m breathing hard when I finish.  There is a picture of the Smith
Machine I used.

The exercise was the Pec Deck Flies and I used the Pec Deck machine. Once again I would do 10 reps with a light weight just for my warm up. I reach failure using 100 pounds and 8 reps. This tells me that the weight was a little to light so next time I do this exercise I will use a heavier weight.

My third exercise was the triceps press down. After the warm up, I was able to reach failure with 4 reps using a weight of 90 pounds. I used the same machine for the fouth exercise which was the reverse triceps press down.  I did not use a heavy enough weight and reached failure in 6 reps. The weight was 70 pounds. Ten more pounds would be just right. The reverse was harder
for me than the standard triceps press down.

The fifth exercise was the seated press and after the warm up I went to failure with 10 reps using a weight of 140 pounds. I clearly could have used a heavier weight.

The final exercise for today was the seated triceps. 80 pounds was the number that caused me to go to failure after 4 reps. I will stay at this weight the next time I do this set of exercises.

I finished off my workout with the hundred ups. Yesterday I did 130 of them and today I increased that to 150 reps. I could feel the extra 20 reps when I finished.

It was 21 degrees when I got to the Y this morning at 04:45 am. Since I rode my bike it was cool to say the least, but I was dressed for it. I got there just a couple minutes before it opened. That picture was taken last year during a snow storm, but I was dressed the same this morning.

I started my workout with a 65 minute bike ride on a stationary bike, I climbed hills.  Paul joined me for 30 minutes of that ride on the other bike watching Fox and Friends. Later in the hour after I was warmed up,  I did a 90, 100, 110 drill. I would spin at a cadence of 90 for 15 seconds, rest for 45 seconds, spin 100 for 15, rest 45 then spin at 110 and rest for 45 seconds.  I did 10 sets of these with a 2 minute rest in between sets. The resistance would vary throughout this drill, sometimes easy and then very hard.

After my bike ride, I did the 7 Minute Workout for Shoulders and Abs.  The first exercise was overhead press seating on a bench using the smith machine. Second was upright rows followed by the upright fly exercise. After that I did the rear fly exercise using the machine for that exercise. Then it was the shoulder shrugs using dumb bells rolling to the back and then to the front.  The last exercise was done using the ab machine.  The 7 Minute Workout program provides videos of each exercise and I’ve placed them on my smart phone so I can be sure I’m performing the exercises correctly.

The final thing I did was the hundred up exercise to prepare for the running I will be doing.  After that, I rode my bike to the Whistle Stop to have coffee and conversation with my non-exercising buddies. lol  I’m working on them, but I can’t seem to get any of them to get up at 4 am let along go to the Y.

Tuesdays are our swim day. Galen, Paul and I were at the pool at our local YMCA around 5am to have some coffee and conversation before the pool opened at 5:30am.

My First Swim Finish

I worked on my Total Immersion drills, the switch, the double switch and the triple switch. Next Thursday I will continue to work on these drills and will add in the zipper switch drill. Paul and Galen were swimming circles around me. Galen was swimming in the lane next to me and he would ask me when I was going to start swimming. I told him I was simply following Coach Terry’s program from the Total Immersion series.  Here is a Coach Terry tip.

Becoming an Energy-Conscious Swimmer

“You must learn ease before focusing on speed or endurance. When there’s so much energy waste, there’s nearly limitless opportunity to improve through saving energy. But no one takes this approach naturally because each energy-saving strategy is counter-intuitive. You have to realize they’re advantageous, then make a conscious decision to practice them with patience until they replace your instincts for harder work. Becoming aware is the first step.”  For more tips click here.

As you can see from the picture I definitely need to learn how to do the freestyle stoke.  In my first triathlon I swam the entire 850 yards on my back and was last out of the water. lol
