The Ultimate Fitness Motivation QUIZ

Out of all the quizzes you've ever taken, if you want to get leaner and develop a body that looks good in shorts, turns heads on the beach and makes you feel totally confident - even out of clothes - then this is one  quiz you'll want to take right now...

and consider your score very carefully...

Just 4 quick questions. Here goes:

1. Do you have a diet or eating plan that you enjoy, and it's getting results for you, but you just can't seem to stay on it consistently?

for example:

* You're good all day long, then you cave in to night time munchies

* you're good all week, but on the weekends, it all falls apart (especially at restaurants or parties)

* You have a weakness to one (or more) certain comfort foods and you just can't seem to say no?

* When you travel, it just seems impossible to stay on it

2. Have you ever gotten in awesome shape - maybe even lost a LOT of fat and you felt great - but then you either binged all at once the minute the program was over, or your motivation slowly disappeared, and the weight slowly creeped back on?

3. Have you ever had a problem with skipping workouts or working out inconsistently?

4. Are you out of shape, overweight or just dissatisfied with your body and you just can't even seem to get started on any diet or workout program in the first place?

If you  answered "yes" to ANY one of these questions, then you'll want to take a very close look at the information in this email... it applies especially to YOU.

If you said yes to 2 or more of these questions, then what you are about to read is nothing short of the answer to your prayers.

That answer is something called "OPERATION MOTIVATION", a simple system that provides a proven, practical and scientifically verified solution to every type of motivation problem and "I CAN’T STICK WITH IT" problem.

This isn't about a new training program or a specific type of diet plan, it's more universal than that, because it helps you follow ANY workout or nutrition plan better - and that's what counts, isn't it? ...

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO CONSISTENTLY TAKE ACTION AND CHANGE YOUR HABITUAL BEHAVIORS?

The best part is, this solution to motivation problems is F.R.E.E.

YES, YES there IS a catch... But I actually think you will LIKE the catch.

Read on for the details, or jump ahead to Tom Venuto's website where he explains this motivation solution

=====> http://burnthefat.rxsportz.com

OPERATION MOTIVATION is a set of short lessons in ebook and special report format, that explains all the psychological skills (the stuff that goes on in your  head), that you need to learn in order to make permanent changes to your behavior and your lifestyle.

Originally, this was a very exclusive 2 hour audio interview that Tom Venuto only offered to his top tier clients in his "Inner Circle"

Just days ago, that audio seminar was converted for the first time into a brief (about 50 pgs) ebook, called "The Science of Goal Achievement: 10 Secrets of Subconscious mind power and 7 secrets of scientific goal setting."

This just-released, brand-new ebook is the flagship part of the program because it teaches the most important skill necessary for motivating yourself and making lifestyle changes.

It's different than any book ever written on the subject because it approaches motivation and goal-achieving from a scientific perspective and even explains how neuroscientists have proven that these principles work. (this aint psycho babble!)

Also in the OPERATION MOTIVATION package are the following supporting ebooks and special reports (7 courses in all):

* MOTIVATIONAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS: How to program your mind to automatically and habitually exercise your body (If this doesn't light a FIRE under your butt, nothing will)

* THE NEW VISUALIZATION BREAKTHROUGH: Take advantage of the mind-body connection with the techniques sports psychologists have been teaching for decades, along with 1 new twist.

* SUCCESS SEMANTICS:  The psychological explanation for how words can enhance or destroy your health and how to turn failure talk into success talk

* THE GOAL ACHIEVER'S SECRET WEAPON: How a cheap little "tool" can install positive success programming into your mind

* END EMOTIONAL EATING: Eating to cope with stress, depression or other feelings, or eating for the wrong reasons can totally undermine the best nutrition plan. Learn the 5-step formula to stop it once and for all

* SELF IMAGE SECRETS: How the hidden image you hold of yourself in your mind is the prime reason for diet sabotage (and the same reason that 90% of lottery winners blow their winnings).

Maybe you're an emotional eater, maybe you have trouble getting started on a workout program, maybe you've started a dozen diets before and could never stick with any of them.

Regardless of your personal challenges, there's something in this package for everyone, as each person struggles with unique issues in his or her journey to get in shape and make the lifestyle changes last.

Here's the deal:

From now until Midnight (PST), July 17th, you can get a copy of the OPERATION MOTIVATION package (in PDF instant download format) absolutely f-r--ee when you purchase the Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle e-book from this web page:

=====> http://burnthefat.rxsportz.com

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is the "bible of fat loss" for tens of thousands of men and women in over 143 countries worldwide and if you don't have a copy yet, then this is a better opportunity than ever because you now get the MOTIVATION packages a bonus along with the Burn The Fat program.

You probably see a lot of promotions come along in your email for all sorts of fitness and fat loss products, but this is not only different, it's one of the best bonus values you will see in a long time, especially if you said YES to any of the "Motivation quiz" questions. 

Not to mention... Tom doesn't do this type of thing very often. He hasn't advertised anything similar to this in over a year and a half.

You should especially take a look at this because of who it's coming from - Tom is one of the most respected professionals in the fat loss field; the field of fat loss science and motivational psychology science, that is, not fat loss infomercials!

This offer expires on Friday, July 17th at midnight PST and it will not be available again so I suggest you visit Tom's Burn The Fat website, read about the Burn The Fat program, and jump on this "OPERATION MOTIVATION" bonus offer while you still can.

To your success,

PS Remember - the extra ebooks and special reports come along with the Burn The fat program as bonus GIFTS, but only until Friday, July 17th at midnight, so you do need to respond quickly. After the deadline, the only way to get these new ebooks and reports will be to purchase them separately, or become a member of Tom's private Burn The Fat Inner Circle website.

Want a Big Chest? Then Learn How To Do Heavy Dumbell Bench Press On the Swiss Ball...

By Nick Nilsson

If you want to maximize chest development, bench pressing is obviously high on the list. Using the Swiss Ball has a LOT of advantages over the flat bench...I'll tell you what they are and the BEST way to get into position to do the exercise with maximum weight.

There's a reason Monday is "Chest Day" in most gyms...it's a HUGE priority for most guys (and many gals!) and they want to do it when they've got the most energy fresh off a weekend.

Well, here's a bit of bad news...that flat barbell bench press you've been doing is NOT the best exercise for building a great chest. I reserve THAT title for the Dumbell Bench Press.

  • It's easier on the shoulders because you have more freedom of movement
  • Neither side can take over the movement because each arm operates independently
  • You can't mess up your grip spacing (actually a BIG problem with a lot of people on the barbell bench press)

There are other advantages but bottom line, in my opinion, the Dumbell Bench Press is absolutely superior to the Barbell Bench Press for chest development.

Now, if you've read any of my articles where I talk about the Dumbell Bench Press, you know I'm a BIG fan of doing the exercise on the Swiss ball rather than on an actual flat bench.

The reason is NOT because of the instability of the ball - that's incidental to me (though it is useful from a core-training perspective). The reason is because of the SHAPE of the ball (round, in case you were wondering... :)

With a round ball, you can wrap your back around the ball and better expand your rib cage. This helps keep your shoulders back, putting your pecs in a much better position to perform the exercise. If you can't feel much in your chest on the flat barbell bench, you need to use the Swiss ball NOW.

This tip is an explanation of how to best get the dumbells into position to do the exercise. I've been doing this exercise for a LOT of years and this is the best way, by far, I've found for getting the dumbells into position and performing the exercise.

Another good thing about the ball...I find it MUCH easier to work with heavy dumbells when on the ball. One thing you DEFINITELY want to make sure of before doing any heavy dumbell work on the ball is that you have a GOOD ball - no Wal-Mart el-cheapo "toning" ball here.

You want something that is thick rubber and anti-burst (meaning if it leaks, it's not going to pop - it'll just leak slowly, giving you time to set your weights down). Nothing good happens when a Swiss ball pops while you're under a big load.

So make sure your ball is good quality. Get yours from an actual training equipment like "Resist-A-Ball". I got my ball from SportSmith (that link goes to the exact ball I've got - you'll notice it's anti-burst).

Another good one is available through Power Systems, called the Power Versa Ball (rated to 2000 lbs).

So, once you've got your ball, grab some dumbells. Start with lighter dumbells at first - once you get the technique down, you can really get into some heavy weights. I'm using 125 lb dumbells in the demo here.

Set them a little in front of the ball and stand in between them.

Squat down and grab them like you're about to do a dumbell deadlift (which you are).

As you stand up, rest the ENDS of the dumbells on your thighs.

Now sit on the ball with the dumbell on end on your thighs.

Kick your right leg out until it's almost straight then kick your left leg out.

Now comes the FUN part...you're going to very quickly and forcefully roll yourself forward on the ball so that you're laying back. As you're forcefully laying back, lock your elbows so that you bring the dumbells with you as you lay back.

Continue their backward momentum and swing your elbows out to the sides until you're in the bottom position of the bench press.
Very quickly press the dumbells to the top, converting some of that backwards momentum into upwards force. You don't want to get stuck at the bottom.

Now you're at the top and ready to start your set! Do as many reps as you want to or are able to do.

When you've completed your set, you're ready to set the dumbells down again. Bring them in towards your chest (beside your chest, basically).

Now set them on the ground like you're doing a negative dumbell curl. Control the drop but don't try and actually do a real negative with heavy weights like this!

You're done! Simple and effective and, in my opinion, a whole lot better than doing them on a flat bench. Perform 3 sets of 5 to 7 reps with this exercise and don't be afraid to go heavy. For me, the Dumbell Bench Press on the Swiss Ball is a MUCH better chest developer than Flat Barbell Bench Press.
