(Notice: I just received this email today… the kicker is whether we should believe it or not. Analysis further down.)
Dear Friend,
I received a shocking email from someone I respect the other day that I want to share with you. (I have permission.)
My friend just came right out and told me the brutal truth: “You’re wasting months of your life for nothing.”
Pretty scary…and I had no idea what he meant!
So, I kept reading…
“Look, just figure out how many hours you’re spending in the gym and doing cardio every week. Multiply that number by 52. Then email me back.”
So I did the math. It freaked me out! It was a lot more time than I thought. I was spending literally YEARS of my life in the gym. Let’s not even talk about cooking food and eating 6 meals every day. It feels like my workout routine is like a second job sometimes. Can you relate?
Anyway, I emailed him back and here’s what he said:
“Okay, take that number down to less than an HOUR a week…tops. How much time have you just added to your life?” The obvious answer: A lot!
By now I was wanting him to give me the answer. If there was a workout program where I could see results in minutes a day versus hours I was all ears.
He said, “Check out my latest book and video series.”
Here’s the website so you can see it too –
7 Minute MuscleThe guy I’m talking about is bestselling fitness author Jon Benson. His latest book “7 Minute Muscle” is an absolute jaw-dropper. You owe it to yourself to at least visit his homepage and discover what this is all about.
Jon spent three years researching one simple question: “How can you get the MOST results in the LEAST amount of time?”
Seems like common sense, right? Well it’s not. Most people, myself included, are spending FAR more time than necessary to get results.
Even worse –
— > I learned that all that time in the gym
— > was keeping me from the body I wanted!Of course there is more to the story than just “working out less.” This is not some gimmick that involves pills or gadgets either. Honestly, it’s hard work.
But only 7 minutes of it.
7 minutes. No joke.
After that 7 minutes you feel like your muscles will explode from the pump. You get leaner, stronger, and you do it faster than any other workout I’ve ever seen. Your energy shoots through the roof to boot.

I'm sure you'll love "7 Minute Muscle" as much as I do. Even more, you love the months of life you'll get back by train smarter, not longer.
Sincerely,
Dave G.
P.S. Jon has some limited-time offers going on right now so it's a good time to check out his homepage. Go see what others are saying about this revolutionary new way to train in just 7 minutes a day --
So what did you think?
Sound a little hypy?
Well, I agreed… but I know that Jon generally puts out quality stuff… so I had to go see for myself.
The verdict:
It’s pretty thorough.
It’s scientifically based… unlike MOST fitness products…
Actually, truth be known, most fitness products are put out by people that heard something from someone, that heard something from someone, that heard something from someone…
… or pull stuff from bodybuilding… which I mean, think about it.
How in the hell can you correlate what happens with a juiced up bodybuilder with a arm chair quarterback who’s just getting into shape?
Need I say more.
Go pick this joker up.

It’s amazing how many people think cardio is the be-all and end-all of fat loss! I used to be one of them.
Keep up the good posts man!

Thanks for the honest review Brad. I find that most fitness pros who have reviewed the product are shocked at how grounded it is in science.

I wrote to Jon - and received NO reply to the email below - maybe you can:
‘7 minute muscle’, how is it different to:
“8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed up to 2 Pounds a Week Guaranteed (Paperback)”
and many other books of a similar type?
How is it different to the 4 minute tabata exercises?
What is NEW about your book?

Hey Sarah… I’ll send this along, but I am sure I can answer this on more than a few fronts.
But first, a few points:
1. Exercise and weight train to build and SUSTAIN muscle, not burn fat.
2. Diet to burn fat (until you get in the single digits, where more “interesting” protocols need to be used to stave off muscle loss.
This is 7 Minute MUSCLE… so it’s a muscle building program that’s designed to help your grow or SUSTAIN muscle.
The others are for fat burning purposes.
The bad thing about Tabata and “8 Minutes”, if you’re not controlling your diet, neither of these work, in fact, studies show that exercise BY ITSELF constitutes little to NO fat loss unless a reduced calorie diet is present.
That’s the difference… one, you’re exercising to sustain or gain muscle (which is more correct), the others, you’re exercising to burn fat (which is pointless unless your diet is in check)
I hope that helps.

I answered Sarah on Will Brink’s blog.
And fyi… I never got her original email.

Is it Jon Benson or Ben Jonson, an old wine in a new bottla- of Stanzolol Hidden somewhere. How come many of these fast muscle gain writers are bald or little hair on top. I am suspicious.

Great articles. There?s a lot of nice information here, though I did want to let you know something, I’m running Redhat with the up-to-date beta of Firefox, and the design of your site is kind of wonky for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn?t function so well.
