PS - I almost forgot!  we have an exciting announcement:

Tom will be launching a new Body Fat Solution website to help promote his book and the 2009 radio tour and 2009 virtual book tour, but he has just announced that the BURN THE FAT INNER CIRCLE has
been named the official support community for his new book, The Body Fat Solution.

This means that The Burn The Fat Inner Circle will support BOTH of Tom’s books, and it’s not necessary to join another website to get support for Tom’s latest book. In fact, the Body Fat Solution Discussion forum is already open inside the member’s only area

It’s true,

Tom Venuto, author of the best-selling E-book called “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” and creator of the Burn The Fat Inner Circle recently finished writing a much-anticipated NEW physical book.

I am excited about this new book and there has been a lot of buzz over at the Burn The Fat Inner Circle from members ‘chomping at the bit’ to read this new book.

Here is the Press Release that reveals what Tom’s New Book is all about. (I recommend Pre-Ordering your copy now!)

PRESS RELEASE

From Tom Venuto
Via (Avery Books/Penguin Group)
Re: pre-release announcement

New Hardcover Book By Tom Venuto Reveals the 5 Principles for Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscles, Ending Emotional Eating and Maintaining Your Perfect Weight.

By now, we all know that we gain fat when we take in more calories than we burn. But we’re not always rational creatures when it comes to food and exercise. Recognizing the emotional and psychological factors that sabotage success, Tom Venuto’s new Book, The Body Fat Solution (Avery/Penguin Group) hones in on the real causes of body-fat and provides a sound plan to take back control of our bodies and end emotional eating for good.

In The Body Fat Solution, Venuto outlines the five principles that will retrain your mind and body for automatic success. Determined to help you keep the fat off for good, Tom shows you how to:

- End emotional eating and stop diet self sabotage
- change your vision through manageable goals for
  indomitable confidence
- eat healthy, delicious food almost unconsciously and
  shed the pounds effortlessly
- reshape your body through lean muscle training for a strong
  core and toned frame
- invite a supportive social network of friends, family, and
  mentors to help you achieve your dream for life

Venuto reminds us that calories do count! But The Body Fat Solution is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and he steers clear of demonizing entire food groups.  Instead, Venuto helps you personalize an eating plan that takes into account your unique metabolism and calorie needs. He then presents illustrated workout programs to maximize the success of the diet plan that are fast and efficient.

Most important, he helps you plan and organize your life so that you can fully implement your new goals and monitor your progress, and finally maintain your perfect weight for life.

Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience, Venuto helps readers change their relationship with food, empowers them to take charge of their lives, and delivers a program that promises dramatic and permanent results.

In 2003 Tom Venuto changed the fat loss world with his ebook “Burn the Fat - Feed the Muscle”… In 2008 he’s done it again with the Body Fat Solution. The World’s expert on fat loss speaks - I listen.
I’ve often said — Fat loss doesn’t start with an exercise program, a diet or a supplement… It starts with a mindset shift. That mindset shift begins with Tom’s new book. If you want to change your body - you need to change your mind. And to do that - you need Tom Venuto.

Howdy,

As I mentioned in my last video I was recently down at the Ryan Lee Bootcamp (an awesome seminar for fitness professionals) and I spent some time hanging out with my buddy Josh Henkin, creator of the Ultimate Sandbag. 

Sandbags are one of my favorite Odd Objects to train with so it was really cool to grab Josh and pick his brain about Sandbag training. 

While I was hanging out with Josh I grabbed him in the hallways and forced him to share some awesome fat burning Sandbag Training tips for you! 

Just click on the Play Button below to see Josh’s Fat Burning Sandbag tips…

 I have two of Josh Henkin’s Ultimate Sandbags in my basement and I use them often in my home gym and outdoor training. 

Training with sandbags is challenging on the abs, core, grip, and EVERYTHING for that matter and doing these Sandbag Complexes that Josh mentioned in the video are great for fat loss!

Performing a series of multi-joint, sandbag exercises like cleans, snatches, squats, lunges, presses, zercher goodmornings, etc will activate muscles all over your body and burn a lot of calories in a short period of time. 

That’s why I love short, intense Sandbag Complexes for for fat loss.   

No one needs a Sandbag to do these complexes, you can certainly do these complexes with Dumbbells and even a barbell but a great way to keep your muscles guessing is to work Sanbags into the your training arsenal! 

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU:  Have you ever trained with Sandbags?  Ever trained with any other Odd Objects?  Drop me a line and let me know if you like this training tool!

Hey there,

I am sitting in the conference right now at “Ryan Lee’s Bootcamp” for fitness professionals.

I just saw one of the preseneters Andrew Lock share this HILLARIOUS video about the Nintendo WII Fit.

I have been asked a few times if the Nintendo “Wii” is good for weight loss and/or fat loss.

Well…

This video basically says my opinion on the subject:

Now don’t get me wrong…

The WII is fun - a couple of my buddies have them and it is fun but don’t dissillusion yourself thinking that it is enough to lose fat and create the physique that you really are aiming for…

Have a great day and get outside - make the world your gym…

If you’ve been reading here at FatBurningBlog for awhile, then you have no doubt heard me talk about the amazing benefits of joint mobility training. Just this morning I had the opportunity to spend over an hour with high school soccer athletes (both the boys and girls varsity teams) teaching them joint mobility exercises. Many of the athletes were surprised how difficult the exercises were and how much tension they were carrying in their bodies. By the end of the session, everyone was moving better and it was enjoyed by all.

That’s one of the coolest things about joint mobility training - the instantaneous benefits.

I just found this video on youtube that I thought you would enjoy. This is my coach, Scott Sonnon, explaining the nuances of a proper joint mobility program. This information is priceless and is valuable for anyone whom exercises regularly. This is taken directly from Scott’s home exercise DVD program: Intu-Flow: Moderate, Sustainable Exercise for Pain-Free Health and Longevity.

Scott Sonnon’s Intu-Flow Beginner Part 1

I guarantee that if you apply the principles that Scott outlined in the video, that you will be on the fast-track towards significant progress in your workout routine. If you would like to learn more about Scott Sonnon’s Intu-Flow program, check it out here:

I wouldn’t recommend something that I don’t believe 100% in its value.

Howdy,

Last night I was winding-down at my house and watching the Olympic Athletes ‘go for Gold.’

I don’t know about you but I have been watching the Olympic Games any chance I get,

Last night I watched some Women’s Volleyball, Gymnastics, and some swimming…

I just love watching these athletes who are so focused, so determined, and so mentally-invested in achieving the goals that they’ve been working towards for so long…

For example,

Last night United States Swimmer Michael Phelps won yet another Gold Medal…

Today, I was watching the morning news and Michael’s Publicity Agent was being interviewed.

Michael’s Agent said something that really caught my attention and I think it is something that might be able to help you achieve greater success in all areas of your life and I’ll tell you why in a second.

Michael’s Agent was asked "WHY" he was working so hard to win EIGHT Gold Medals.

This is what he said,

"Michael wants to use his performance to revitalize the sport of Swimming Around The World and all of his efforts are geared towards the greater goal of making that happen."

Here’s why that goal struck me…

        IT’S A HUGE GOAL!!!!! 

Think about it,

He doesn’t JUST want to win one gold medal, two gold medals, 3, 4, 5, 6, or even 7,

He wants 8!!!

But, not 8 for the sake of ‘JUST’ winning 8 medals,

He’s doing it for an even GREATER GOAL - a huge vision that he is trying to make a reality,

You might be asking yourself, "What does that have to do with me?"

The lesson here for you is that if you want to accomplish great things in your life that you shouldn’t shoot for ‘just losing 11 pounds, or ‘just fitting into the old pair of jeans,’ or "just" anything for that matter…

Create a huge, compelling vision in your mind that is ‘BIGGER THAN JUST YOU.’

Having a huge VISION can help you plow through obstacles and challenges like they are not even there.

Compare that to the average Joe or Jane who ‘just wants to lose a couple pounds.’ 

Don’t you think that the person with the bigger, more compelling vision that is bigger then just them is going to stick with the plan, stay the course and stay focused on ‘the gold’ instead of giving into temptation and eating that cookie, or skipping a workout? 

So the questions for you to consider are:

-How can you create a compelling vision that is bigger than just you? 

-How can you Supersize your little goals into more powerful and inspriring goals?

-How would you act differently about food, exercise, and taking care of your body if hitting your goals wasn’t just for you but for a bigger cause that means the world to you?

-What would you do differently everyday to hit your goals if you had that ‘Gun To The Head’ mentallity that you either hit your goals or die? 

Perhaps you’d reach your goals faster, making amazing progess that insprired others, and maybe people will be talking about how great ‘YOU’ are and the amazing things you’ve accomplished…

What if?

If getting ripped abs is on your list of priorities when it comes to your current fitness program, do not overlook the importance of your usual strength training
activities.

One of the biggest misconceptions about getting ripped abs is that you must spend hours doing ab work alone.

Unfortunately this is furthest from the truth,

The real fact of the matter is that when you are lifting heavy during your squats, lunges, deadlifts, and the bench press, you will be using the ab muscles to a great degree.

If they were not working, you would find yourself feeling unstable, and chances are, you would wind up injured.

The ab muscles are going to be called into play with every weight lifting exercise you do, so ensure proper form is being utilized during all workout sessions.

Furthermore, one of the major factors in developing ripped abs, is going to be getting your body fat level low enough for them to be seen clearly.

(this is the key factor)

If you’re not approaching close to single digits, chances are you may have great ab muscles, but you aren’t going to see them when looking in the mirror.

Weight training exercises are one of the best ways to boost your metabolic rate, which will then help you burn off body fat all day long. Do keep in mind though that all weight lifting activities are not created equally.

A heavy set of squats is going to ramp up the metabolism a great deal more than a set of bicep curls would for example.

To utilize this principle, try your best to program your weight lifting routine so that only core, compound lifts are included.

This would be movements such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, bent over rows, shoulder presses, and the bench press.

Not only will this provide you with a far better whole body workout without wasting too much time on needless exercises, but it will also help you achieve that ripped abs look that you are going for.

Lastly, keep in mind that ripped abs and strong abs can mean different things.

If you do a great deal of weighted abdominal work, you may actually cause your ab muscles to grow larger, thus giving you the appearance of a wider waist. Unless the body fat levels are not low again, you’ll just end up looking bigger in the middle, rather than more defined.

So, in order to make this goal a reality for you, first focus on getting low enough body fat levels to get those abs showing.

This can be accomplished through a solid lifting program and a clean diet.

Then, if you are not happy with the shape of the ab muscles or the amount of ab muscle development, start focusing on doing more work focused on just this muscle group itself.

Today’s "How To Get Ripped Abs" tip is from my buddy Vince DelMonte is the author of Your Six Pack Quest found at:

He specializes in helping chubby guys and gals get six pack abs without gimmicks, supplements or dieting.

Maybe you’ve noticed a couple of recent changes on the blog, including a new product reviews section tab at the top of our header. Kyle and I are hoping to continue to find and review programs that can help you with your fat loss goals - and probably some that can’t help you too. We are always trying out new programs to see what is available, and we would like to help you cut through marketing hype and find the programs that really do work for fat loss.

Not too long ago, I posted a series of articles and training video’s about joint mobility training and how it enhances a fat burning program. In case you missed them, you can find the links to the series below this post. (*You’ll have to click on the post title to get to the dedicated page for this blog post to see the joint mobility series)

My opinion on joint mobility training is that everyone will benefit from this - it’s a process of recovering, coordinating, and refining all basic human ranges of motion. Who couldn’t benefit from that? And improved range of motion is literally just the beginning - after a few weeks of practice you’ll notice you’re experiencing Deep Relaxation, Whole Body Tension Release, Increased Focus & Concentration, Heightened Sensory Awareness, Superior Athletic Performance,and Bioenergy Amplification.

Even though joint mobility is VERY different from stretching, in a way, it’s the new stretching here in America. It’s emerging fast as a powerfully effective, movement-enhancing, injury-proofing, light exercise method.

The original joint mobility program introduced in America was called Warrior Wellness, by Coach Scott Sonnon. Intu-Flow is the system that grew out of the refinement of Warrior Wellness - it’s an adaptation of the former program. If you haven’t already, check out my review of Intu-Flow here:
