7 Minute Abs from Something About Mary

When I first heard about Jon Benson’s 7 Minute Muscle the first thing I thought of was this video with Ben Stiller from Something About Mary… (WARNING: there is adult language in the last 15 seconds)

Jon puts out some of the best fitness products on the market, but I have to admit that I didn’t really take it seriously until he sent me a copy.

At first I read it out of curiosity to see what the catch was, but it didn’t take me long to realize that this program is a REVOLUTIONARY approach to exercising.

You can learn more about it here:

The scientific studies Jon references make a very persuasive case that amazing results can be acheived in only 7 minutes of training 5 days a week.

This is one of those books that changes everything you think about exercise, and I’m so excited to interview him tomorrow night for the Elite Body, so that you can hear him explain why this program works so well.

I thought his approach was so great that I decided to make a 14 day mindset coaching program to go with 7 Minute Muscle.

It’s going to start next Monday and will include daily audio’s, self hypnosis sessions, a Q&A teleseminar with Jon (where he’s going to answer any questions you have), and more.

And it’s going to be free for all Elite Body listeners who gets his program this week.

Just email me the receipt at jimk98@gmail, and you’ll get free access to the 7 Minute Muscle Mindset Coaching Program.

PS: make sure you listen to this week’s interview with Jon, I guarantee that it changes the way you think about muscle growth and fat loss.

Should you workout on an empty stomach?

Posted by Jim Katsoulis on September 18th, 2008

I received the following question from an Elite Body listener:

“I really enjoyed the interview with Darin Steen of Fat Loss Lifestyle, but I am confused on what he meant by “do cardio in a fasted state, first thing in the morning”.    I have always heard how bad it is to do any form of exercise before you put anything in your system to start your metabolism for the day; your body will still think it’s starving and burn muscle rather than fat.  What should I do?

This is a great question, so I sent it to Darin and this is what he wrote.

First off, (more…)

This is an interview for the record books. When Tom Venuto, author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle agreed to be interviewed for The Elite Body, I was really excited, but little did I know that the call would last almost 2 hours!

Tom really put on a master class. He reveals which exercises are the best for boosting up your metabolism, his 10 rules for nutrition that keeps you lean, and the most common limiting beliefs that people have when it comes to transforming their bodies. This call is so good, that I’m going to keep the replay up througout the weekend for free.  You can listen to this amazing seminar for a limited time by clicking here.

Jim: Let me ask you this. What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have when it comes to burning fat and losing weight?

The following is an excerpt of an interview I did for The Elite Body, with Rob Poulos, creator of Fat Burning Furnace.

Jim:    I’m curious to hear what your answer is to this.  How do you suggest that people measure their progress?  What have you seen work?  I know there’s weight, but what other things?
Rob:    I think the number one measurement, and this is the truth, is (more…)
