The Mind Over Body Matter Letter

Check this out:

Okay… I get it… so maybe that title isn’t that “PC”…

Whatever.

Tough love I say

Anyway, I came across a GREAT article the other day that I’m gonna share with you from a lady named Holly Rigsby.

Naturally, if you have read this here blog for any amount of time… I LOVE great content.

I also love great products… one’s that get people results.

Holly has an interesting product out right now that is all about “Yummy Mummies” getting into phenomenal shape… I’ll tell you more about that in a minute.

But first, let me show you the article that blew me away:

Top 3 Reasons WHY More Moms are NOT “into” Resistance Training

By Holly Rigsby, CPT
www.FitYummyMummy.com

Moms have mistakenly believed that resistance training shouldn’t be the foundation of their fat loss program. Here are the three most common myths about resistance training and the “truth” about each.

1. Moms believe the answer to Fat Loss lies in CARDIO

Can’t blame you, Mom! The fact that we are being bombarded with misleading ads and articles on a daily basis boasting that the best way to burn fat is to simply DO more cardio.

From a Popular Beauty Magazine:

“The formula for great abs is crunches + cardio = results. Cardio burns fat, uncovering the incredible abs you’ll have thanks to those crunches. So hop on that exercise bike, elliptical or treadmill for 30 to 45 minutes at least three times a week…”

The “cardio burns fat” myth is so rampant, that the very support groups and forums women turn to for answers are littered with faulty advice.

From a Forum:

“We do 15 mins on the bike, 15 on the elliptical, 15 on the treadmill, 1000 metres on the rowing machine (we’re building that up slowly because we hate it).”

Who has time for this? We are Moms, we are busy, we do not have the time, energy or patience to attempt a fat loss program that is solely based on cardio. And if you “hate” something – how much longer are you going to keep up with it – especially if you are no longer seeing results?!

Cardio is only ONE piece of the Fat Loss puzzle. When it comes to Fat Loss cardio’s role is much less important than resistance training. More is simply not better. Cardio does very little to boost your metabolism and extended sessions not only eat up your precious time with little to show for it, but also eat up your lean muscle, slowing your metabolism to a crawl.

I told you I liked this article. It’s in your face and RELEVANT to the people she’s talking to… YOU, the busy mom. Plus, everyone HATES cardio. It sucks… and it takes forever. If there’s a better way, let’s have at it, right?

2. Moms are scared of “Bulking Up”

Just the mention of the word muscle makes a lot of women cringe. Images of huge bodybuilder-type bodies make them run in the opposite direction. Yet amidst this protest, Moms want to look lean and toned. Well without muscle, it is impossible to attain this desirable physique.

Women simply do not have the ability to bulk up. Men, however, are able to add lots of muscle because:

One - they have the hormones to do so (we do not, well not naturally)
Two - they lift weights in an entirely different fashion
Three - they must eat a tremendous amount of food - muscle needs a LOT of calories to grow and get bigger.

So Moms, unless you are taking Testosterone boosting supplements, lifting VERY heavy weights and eating an upwards of 5,000 calories a day - you will NOT bulk up.

As an aside, most women that are trying to reshape their bodies work in a caloric defiect… which is definitely NOT condusive to building muscle. The action that most women feel when they resistance train is the swelling and firming of the muscle underneath that layer of body fat that makes a woman ‘think’ that she’s getting bigger.

Strip the body fat, and you’ll see just what I mean.

3. Moms think Resistance Training is just TOO Complicated!

“It’s so much easier.” “It is less intimidating.” “It’s less complicated.” These are the very attitudes that lead busy moms to jump on a treadmill and walk or run for 45-60 minutes. The thought of picking up some weights seems complicated and undesirable especially when there are more “mindless” options from which to choose.

Sure, if you are new to the concept of Resistance Training, an introduction to this type of workout can make you throw your hands up in frustration…..what exercise, what weight, set, super sets, repetitions, rests….Oh My!

The best way to begin a resistance training program is to use your own body as weight. No gym membership, no fancy equipment….just a small space and a few minutes of your time.

Movements such as squats, lunges and assisted push ups are great examples of effective bodyweight exercises that any Busy Mom can do. Establishing a place to begin builds confidence, boosts energy levels and in turn increases metabolism. Moms naturally want to do more!

From there it is quite simple to keep your workouts challenging by using equipment many moms already have at home; a stability ball, dumbbells and a medicine ball.

When you have an effective resistance training workout plan, that not only fits your fitness goals, but your lifestyle, your plan becomes a priority and you achieve a lean, fit body before you know it!

Now you understand not only the importance resistance training plays in your fat loss efforts, but also how easily it can be integrated into your routine. It is time to adjust your mindset and your priorities. When you put your time, energy and effort into a resistance training regimen you guarantee yourself a faster metabolism and a toned, tight, energetic body.

One more thing about resistance training that some people just don’t touch on… your body is going to LOOK like it’s supposed to PERFORM. I want you to really think about that before we continue.

Okay, did you get all that. I’d like to think that the woman knows what she’s talking about. After all, I talk about many of the same things… lol.

As if you couldn’t figure that out on your own.

Here’s a kick ass video of a bootcamp that Holly put on:

I need to stop jamming at my desk… that video gets me pretty pumped up

Now, for the official Fit Yummy Mummy review… BH style.

Man, I didn’t know you had to sign a personal contact with yourself by reading this. That’s great stuff. An INSTANT probability of results increaser.

It ain’t all about the diet and fitness people. Let me tell you. I like the contract idea. I’m gonna use this in MY next product (sly smile).

16 Weeks ==> 4 Week “Splits”

Nice. Holly implements a proven “staggering” system that keeps the body from adjusting to the diet and activities.

(Seriously, you already know that I’m gonna tell you to go pick this up. I’m just trying to quickly “rationalize” it for you. Yet, I still don’t think that I’ll be doing Fit Yummy Mummy the justice that it deserves.)

Ha… I just read “fowl”… I don’t know why but that cracks me up. (I’m in the nutrition section).

I like the fact that she puts a PANTRY section in here that shows you what foods you should have. She even has my FAVORITE fat loss food that no one talks about in here.

(Figure it out)

OOh… it’s got pretty pictures of the exercises. I’m playing. If you didn’t know it, most programs just throw together a workout plan haphazardly without ANY guidance as far as the actual exercises are concerned.

This is a nice touch.

Okay… I’ve got to wrap this up. More work to do.

Anyway, Holly is definitely a Fit Yummy Mummy… you can tell in the book. I can only hope that my future wife looks this good after having kids.

Here’s my HARD and FAST rule on advice:

I only take advice from people that are ALREADY where I want to be.

This is why I find it difficult to take fitness and diet advice from Dr. Phil… you know?

It’s obvious that Holly knows what she’s talking about because she walks the walk.

Everything in Fit Yummy Mummy is well organized and well planned… and you’d do well to go pick it up.

After all, there’s no such thing as a FAT Yummy Mummy… that’s just reality.

Here’s a cool video of Brad Pilon showing you how to do single arm bodyweight exercises on the Smith machine…

Cool stuff.

Oh, he’s also got a great resource called “Eat Stop Eat” that you should definitely check out when you get a chance. It’s reasonably priced at under 30 bucks… I’ll have a review on it this week for you.

I want someone to try this…

Does anyone out there have the cajones to make this happen? If you’ve done it, put a comment down at the bottom.

Quite frankly, I think Craig Ballantyne has lost his mind.

I’m trying it today… lol.

Check this out… (cool video warning… lol)

So I get this email the other day from a friend of mine, talking about this new weight loss/fat loss “secret” that’s been swinging around the ‘net’ as of late. Give this a read and tell me what you think…

Steve, (My friends name)

In what is perhaps the most shocking announcement made in some time regarding the diet and health industry, a lady doctor has just released what some authorities are calling the world’s “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret!”

The woman doctor, whose name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, has really upset the major food & drug industries, as well as weight loss manufactured food companies.

In the past 6 years she has worked largely in secret developing what may be the “cure” for obesity — and testing this first on herself, and then on a select group of volunteer patients who anxiously awaited salvation from the harmful effects of suffering ‘the battle of bulge.”

So valuable her SHOCKING findings and PROVEN results are, that she’s now just released her simple and easy-to-do system under the aptly titled: “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret!”

And her timing couldn’t be better! …

- Since recent studies reveal obesity has now reached epidemic
proportions, her secret may well prove a major life-saver to the
now more than 40% of Americans alone who are labeled
“obese!”

- Children are now considered “fatter than ever” by most experts,
and Dr Suzanne’s remedy may prove a preventative in the fight
against later-in-life developed diabetes when these same
children grow into adults!

And what may be the BIGGEST “Shock” of all is this horrifying fact:

=> Dr Suzanne has received death threats for simply making
her secret fat loss solution available to the general public -
and from what law enforcement investigators believe may
be insiders in the weight-loss/diet food manufacturing and
weight-loss drug treatment industries!

One federal law enforcement official (who insists on remaining nameless) said in confidence:

“It’s no shock to us at the [agency name withheld for security
purposes] that this lady doc has received so many threats on
her life as food and drug companies stand to lose potentially
billions of dollars by the release of her new breakthrough
secret for losing weight.”

But now with the release of this breakthrough weight and fat loss revelation, people who previously struggled so very hard with little or any success in the fight against the “extra pounds” now have a VAST & POWERFUL WEAPON on their side for a well-deserved change!

When asked if she feared retaliation from pharmaceutical and weight-loss food manufacturers, she said almost too hopefully…

“I wish they would do so especially in public because to get
fired upon for this would demonstrate more than ever that I
must have done something very, very right … as anyone
with common sense would see that the only reason they are
in business in the first place is because being overweight as
a population only serves to make them even richer … and
what I’ve done is going to free masses of people from being
slaves to them for good! - even many millions.”

So despite the continued threats, Dr Suzanne is more on the ball and out to ruffle as many feathers as she can with her New “TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret!”

To be sure the good gal-doctor isn’t going this alone! Nope. She’s got some very BIG heavy-hitters on her side!

Joined in unison by some of the biggest names in modern medicine from the likes of Johns Hopkins, Harvard Medical, and a good number of the other leading world-recognized hospitals and higher-learning institutions, Dr Suzanne moves rapidly forward in her personal “war” on ugly, unwanted fat and for the pursuit of better and eventually optimal health for all!

Additionally, you should know that nothing about her secret fat loss cure is difficult or hard to do.

What you may even find strangely surprising about her secret is the fact that it can by done by anyone effortlessly! (You’ll have to see it for yourself to understand how this is actually possible!)

So if you are someone who has been losing the fight against ugly fat and unwanted extra inches (that eventually without a doubt will shorten your life and lower the quality of it), then this is exactly what the good lady-doctor ordered!

Just grab the good doctor’s secret for yourself at:

But I feel it only fair to warn you that “the rush” is so vehemently on, that if you hesitate you may find that tomorrow when you get there (the link just above) the credit card-taking process might be so overburdened that you can’t order at all … (So it might be a good idea that you hurry on over there NOW rather than risk waiting till later and losing out for good!)

Plus, it’s my understanding that she knocks off nearly HALF the price just for people getting over there within 24-48 hours!

So if I were you I’d not take any chances because although credit card processing may still be working by the time you get there, the price may nearly DOUBLE just 2 days from now (and then you’ll kick yourself saying “Dad-gummit! I knew I should have grabbed that when I had the chance!” … so don’t let this happen to you - grab it NOW!)

Also keep this in mind…
———————————–
How many times have you seen sudden “breakthroughs” of such great controversy potentially come along and cause a woman doctor to actually get death threats for her secret ‘know-how?’ — You’re right … very, very few.

So don’t overlook this email as it may very well prove to be one of the most influential and important ones you’ve ever received…

-Shawn Higgings

Okay, so that email shook me up a little bit… not gonna lie.

Although, I really don’t think anyone’s gonna kill this lady either.

So, before I get into whether this “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret” is legit or not, let me show you some of the research that I did… and no, these are not scare tactics…

Check out this YouTube video of a little gremlin in someone’s colon:

And check this one out… showing you a whipworm… gross man!

I gotta tell you, I really don’t want any of this stuff in me after seeing that.

Of course, I don’t think I’m much into enemas and crap like that either.

So here’s the deal, I’m gonna pick this little book up and go through it to see if there’s any truth to this. It’s got a money back guarantee through Clickbank so I’m not concerned about getting a refund if it does suck.

I’ll post a more thorough review once I get done, but for now, you’d probably be well to do to pick it up for yourself in the meantime and bank on the MBG (money back guarantee).

I do know this, there are some very basic things when it comes to fat loss, most of which revolve around calorie consumption. But, each body is different and some things work better on some than on others.

That’s the ONLY reason I’m telling you to go ahead and take the leap before I get this review totally done.

Because my review MAY NOT help you make a good determination of if this “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret” is best for you… only you TESTING the material will truly get you the data and results you seek.

Just do like I’m doing and take a shot at it… it’s the only way you’ll truly know.

(Oh, rumor is that there’s some talk about interval training in the book… so I know that there’s at least ONE thing in there that’s true pertaining to fat loss.)
