FAT LOSS ON BLACK FRIDAY
This may or may not apply to you in regards to Black Friday, but chances are it applies to your life one way or another.
You see, I predict that untold numbers of people got up super early today and went shopping on Black Friday. I also predict these folks either skipped breakfast or grabbed something sugary on the way out the door.
Then at some point, when their shopping frenzy has begun to die down, they'll plop down at a food court and load up on greasy fast food or something very close.
Not good for fat loss. Not good at all.
If you want to shed pounds and inches you just have to eat a solid breakfast. It sets the tone for your metabolism for the entire day. Taking the time to plan what you're going to eat for breakfast the night before is more than worth the time if you're serious about melting fat off your frame.
But look, sometimes you just don't have time for it. Sometimes it's the day after a holiday and you're not firing on all cylinders. No reason to fret. You can reach for a great tasting meal replacement shake that will stoke your metabolism and help you burn fat all day long.
People ask me all the time what brand I recommend. Simple: Prograde Lean. Why? Because it tastes amazing and will keep you full for hours. It's just what the fitness pro ordered on a day like Black Friday.
If you'd like to try Prograde Lean for yourself, well, if you hurry you can get it on sale today. The Prograde Nutrition Thanksgiving Week Sale ends TODAY at 11:59pm EST. You can save 11% off all of their products. All you need to do is use their coupon code when you checkout.
For instance, if you want to order Prograde Lean just go here: http://jeremy.getprograde/lean
Place your order. And when you get to the coupon code simply type in the word:
thanks
(Yes, that's the word 'thanks' in all lower case letters)
If you're a busy person on the go, and you're serious about fat loss, then I highly recommend giving Prograde Lean a try. I know it took them nine months of taste-testing to get the chocolate flavor just perfect. It really is delicious!
Yours in health,
Jeremy
PS - Again, the sale ends TONIGHT, so if you're thinking some Prograde Lean would make your life easy then you need to order right away before you forget. http://jeremy.getprograde.com/lean

How much do we eat at thanksgiving?
Well it is estimated this is how many calories are consumed at an average Thanksgiving feast.
No wonder why we all gain weight over the holidays.
However, where some people may gain a pound of fat or more from this single meal, you could be one of the few smart ones who eats more turkey on Turkey Day and less of the other high-fat and/or high carb foods like stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and all those tasty pies!
You can eat any treats but it must be in MODERATION. Focus on having your treats but make sure you eat plenty of the good foods along with water. After all turkey is loaded with lean protein that will help you build muscle, burn fat, and control your typically insatiable holiday appetite.
Try to maintain exercise during the Holidays and always focus on eating throughout the day. You know of uncle (lets call him BOB) who does not eat all day and gorges at the Thanksgiving meal. You will want to avoid being remotely close to uncle Bob!
To make this transition as seamless as possible for you, today I am going to show you how use your left over Thanksgiving turkey to build muscle and burn fat ;)

The Acai Berry Myth
And that's why I thought it was critical to write you today. I want to make sure you know my opinion on the subject.
First, you know better than to believe you're going to pop some pills - ANY pills - and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. If you've been listening to me for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition. THERE IS NO MIRACLE QUICK FIX!
Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you that any diet that promotes you eat any one food all day long and then eat a sensible dinner, well, don't bother. Yes, you will lose some weight short-term, but as soon as you go back to your old eating habits - and you know you will - you know exactly what happens.
Third, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases.
And while on the subject, I wanted to fill you in on something that has recently come to light. Did you know that coffee berries (the berry that covers the coffee bean) is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet? It's something researchers have discovered in recent years.
What's really cool is my friends at Prograde Nutrition have just created an amazing Whole Foods based Anti-Aging formula called Prograde Longevity that includes both Acai Berry and Coffee Berry. Oh, and it also utilizes Green Tea, Pomegranate, Wolf Berry and Biovin Grape (Red Wine extract.)
Just to give you an idea of how powerful this formula is, well, you'd have to eat an entire POUND of raspberries to get the same ORAC value. And in case you're not familiar with the term, ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.
The best part is their having a Thanksgiving Week sale to celebrate the launch of Prograde Longevity. From now until Friday you can get 11% off Longevity or any of their other exclusive products they offer.
You can check out Prograde Longevity for yourself by clicking here
Just be sure to enter this coupon code in when you checkout: (yes, it's all lower case)
thanks
Oh, and just so you know, you can't find Prograde products in stores anywhere. They're so exclusive they only let fitness experts work with their company to help them get the word out.
BLAST FAT,
Jeremy Belter

The Secret
We discussed instead of coming to me they will come to clients. Why? Because they are looking for that MIRACLE SOLUTION. When people come to me and I say it is going to take effort+time+action+lifestyle change+nutritional changes=MIRACLES... they tune that out. Or they get mad at me for telling them the truth. I do not consider myself mean but I have gotten much more direct because people need to know that this can be done but not everyone is going to do it. If you want to try some diet or light easy exercise then this is not for you. If you want to truly work at getting fit for life or keeping weight off forever then you are at the right place.

CAN BOOT CAMPS BE DANGEROUS?
On the other hand, boot camps can have a downside. Many fitness instructors want to start and run a boot camp without having the necessary skills to do so. Here are 10 tips to a safe and effective boot camp:
The Top 10 Boot Camp Safety Checklist
1.) The Instructor(s) Must Be Certified With Nationally Recognized Institution. If the person only has to pay for a certification you might want to stay clear. This can be an issue of safety.
2.) The Instructor must know what it takes to be in good shape and in some cases they might be out of shape. The best fitness professionals have the knowledge but also follow through with actions. Most people want to take advice from people who are in great shape.
3.) The instructor must make the exercises appropriate for all levels. The more fit you are the more advanced the exercises should be. The less fit you are the less advanced the exercises should be. There is always a modification and the instructor should know of plenty. If they cannot you should leave the class.
4.) The Instructor should be available for questions before and after class. This is important to determining the individuals’ needs and wants. Focus on a professional that cares about you and the group combined.
5.) The program should emphasize body weight exercise with a progression to weight training exercises. There should be a great focus on form first and foremost. Exercises need to be mastered before an instructor increases intensity levels. A red flag should be raised if you are being instructed to add weight to a movement that you have yet to master with your body weight alone. This will lead to injury!
6.) The training system must focus on interval training body weight exercise and cardiovascular intervals as well. High-Intensity Interval Training is scientifically proven to burn 9x more fat than the aerobic training alternative, so it is critical that both the resistance training AND cardio programs provided incorporate intervals since the goal for most people is fat loss. Most people want an athletic lean look and this is accomplished through circuit training of varying intensity levels. The best fitness professionals can create workouts with little to no resistance except the body.
7.) The program must have a sound nutritional plan. The instructor should be adamant about you following this nutritional plan but it should not be a fad diet. The plan should focus on healthy nutrition not some dieting tricks. It should provide both nutrition guides for Males and Females.
8.) The program should have a website along with an interactive community for everyone to be a part of. Bottom line, if the boot camp program in question does not have a website in this day in age it is not worth your time and money. There are fitness professionals that do not treat this as a business but it is. You want support from others what better way then having a community that is all in this together. There are so many free communities out there today so the instructor should have an online social community.
9.) The program should have testimonials of all sorts. Their previous clients should have results and be raving about all of the benefits that they have received from the program. Ask for before and after pictures and written or video testimonials of their services before signing up. And remember, it's NOT just about the weight loss. Benefits should include, but not be limited to, increased energy levels, dress/pant size reduction, improved health profiles, increased strength and flexibility, less joint pain, etc.
10.) There should be a free trial of some sort. Many of the most successful camps do this. Why? Because they are confident in what they offer and the benefits it will have for you!

The Best Exercises to “Blast Fat”
After college I lost sight of my hopes and dreams. I had gotten in the worst shape of my entire life. Well that all has changed and being a fitness expert, I have found some great exercises that work better for quick, effective workouts. People are always asking me how do I lose stomach fat and what exercises can help me lose fat.
The best exercises are full body exercises. The exercises that help lose fat are the best for helping someone gain muscle as well. These exercises all have one thing in common: They work many muscles of the body and they work the biggest muscles of the body.
Research and real world experience dictate that these exercises burn more fat and have the greatest impact on the body. Taking this a step further….
Let’s drastically increase results by selecting TOTAL BODY EXERCISES within each TOTAL BODY WORKOUT! For example the squat has been known as one of the best exercises. However, the squat becomes UNSTOPPABLE for transforming the body when you add in another movement such as a press or row. More movement means more calories burned in less time.
It’s as simple as the Dream Body Equation below:
Performing Total Body Exercises Within Each Total Body Workout
More Muscles Recruitment =
Greater Caloric Expenditure + More Muscle Work =
More Fat Loss + Greater Lean Muscle Tissue
These exercises create a love/hate relationship. Love because of the awesome fat burning/muscle building results they provide to create a lean healthy body. Hate because they are challenging creating a pool of sweat in a short amount of time. Trust me these workouts are not for the treadmill walkers.
Here is the top 10 list of “Fat Blasting” exercises:
Exercise#1- Step up curl or press
Exercise#2- Kettlebell swings, cleans, and Jumps
Exercise#3- Lunge variations with another movement. Examples would be reverse lunge with a curl, lunge with med ball press, and reverse lunge with a row.
Exercise#4- Plyometric push up, push up into a burbee and so on.
Exercise#5- The Chop- Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Med Balls, Bands, or Sandbags
Exercise#6- Olympic Lifting Variations: Dumbbell or Kettlebell Cleans, Snatches, High Pulls
Exercise#7- Jump variations with or without weight such as tuck jumps, squat jumps, and lunge jumps.
Exercise#8- Med ball shuffle slams, med ball jump slams, and med ball explosive drills of any kind
Exercise#9- Weighted punches with jumps or burbees.
Exercise#10- sprints with periods of push ups, squat jumps, or any other exercise above.
I’ll be sharing some more great exercises for those specific trouble spot areas (e.g. legs, butt, abs, chest, arms, etc.) that are holding you back from “blasting fat” in the days to come ;)

Discover How To Burn Fat Fast Through Circuit Training
So, what’s the problem with this format? Well, though straight sets are extremely easy to comprehend for people new to fitness, they are also an extremely inefficient way to order your exercises. In most commercial gyms you’ll typically see someone perform three sets of 10 reps for let’s say the bench press. They do the same amount of reps, go look out a window, talk with some friends, Look for the latest news or scores on the television, and then slowly head back for the next set. In general, most people, men in particular, will take up to 5 minutes between sets. The sets usually take way under a minute for every 5 minutes of rest. They are working out only 1/10th of the time.
A much more effective and time-efficient approach to ordering your exercises is though supersets, trisets, or circuit training. Here you’ll perform one exercise, rest for a short period of time, then perform another non-competing exercise, rest for a short period of time, and so forth. Alternating sets allow you to work different areas of your body when you would otherwise be resting with the straight set format. The great part is by working different parts of the body you will recover and do more work in less time. Here is a definition of the three different formats:
1.)Supersets: Alternate between two different non-competing exercises (e.g. upper body and lower body such as push-ups and lunges)
2.)Trisets: Alternate between three different exercises (e.g. push, pull, and lower body such as push-ups, rows, and lunges)
3.)Circuits: Alternate between four or more different exercises
Though supersets and trisets are excellent alternating set options, I believe circuit training is by the far the best option time and time again. To demonstrate why, let’s examine my favorite circuit training template using timed set intervals:
The 50 -10 second Five Exercise Circuit: You will alternate between 50 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for all five exercises in the following 5-minute circuit:
Exercise#1- Squat Jumps
Exercise#2- Push Ups
Exercise#3- Reverse Lunges
Exercise#4- Bicycles
Exercise#5- Sit Ups
Perform this circuit up to four times for a 20-minute total body fat burning workout.
Basically, in the same 15 minutes of rest time between doing three you could do an amazing and much more effective 15 work sets! Plus, the intensity on each exercise will be just as high as in the straight set format because in this five exercise circuit you will have full recovery with over four minutes before you return to any given exercise (just as you did with the straight set format described earlier).
To recap, the key to creating the optimal hormonal environment for fat loss is to perform each exercise with maximal intensity while separated by brief rest periods in order to accumulate a high volume of total body work in the shortest amount of time possible. Circuit training provides for the best of both worlds and is thus simply unmatched for simultaneously maximizing fat loss and lean muscle gain. Here is a sample of how you could set up circuit training:
Exercise#1- Double Legs/Core
Exercise#2- Push
Exercise#3- Single Leg
Exercise#4- Pull
Exercise#5- Core
Here is an example of a quick challenging circuit done at my home. No weights were used just my body weight. This workout can be used almost anywhere.
I’ll be sharing some more great circuit training workouts from my boot camps in the weeks to come ;)

Why Are Boot Camps Effective?
1. Professional Guidance
2. Peer Support

3. A short program does not constitute a lifestyle change
4. A fitness professional or anyone who desires for you to do well latch onto.
5. Challenge yourself with quick, effective workouts

Is Walking The Answer?
Now don't get me wrong it does have more benefits than sitting on the coach eating potato chips or Cheetos. It is better than going to a restaurant, that will remain nameless, where the average calorie count is over 1000 bad calories per plate. If you have not done any exercise it is going to have benefits, and I recommend actually starting slowly with walking, swimming, or other light cardiovascular activities.
On the other hand, I will have people that say they walk and I think that is great. But the question is this, "how is what you are doing working for you?" If it is not working for you, then you should change plans. Your goals should be in line with what you want to accomplish. For example, I watch people change their bodies completely at the gym while others remain exactly the same from doing light cardio. Now if your goal is to maintain then this is great but if you want to lose fat and get more fit; please change it up!
Fitness is for you,
