How is This Program any Different From All of the Other Hyped-Up Abdominal Programs Out There Today?
I know what you're thinking... "Gimme a break Rick, I've tried it all before and seen it all before. How can your abs program be any different or better than all of the other programs out there that promise me the world?"
Well, I'll cut out all of the BS, and go straight to the main points that make this program one of the most effective programs in existence for fully developing your abdominals as well as getting rid of those layers of stubborn stomach fat that is covering them up.
Pay attention, because once you get this stuff right and start using these techniques regularly, you'll be showing off your ripped abs in no time flat, whether it's at the beach, at the pool, in the bedroom, wherever... Just think how great it's going to feel when women are finally complimenting you on your washboard stomach and sneaking glances at you when you're not looking!
Alright, here's what makes 5 Minute Fat Loss different:
1. The main focus of this program is NOT on abdominal exercises... And, better yet, this program consistently get's BETTER results by NOT focusing on abs exercises!
I know that sounds counterintuitive, but the fact of the matter is that abdominal exercises are ok, and you do need to do a certain amount of them to develop the abs as best as possible. But to be honest, most people that are trying to get better looking abdominals waste WAY too much time training the abs directly. What you really need to focus on is burning off the extra fat that is covering them up.
Let's get this straight right now... Abdominal exercises do NOT burn fat away from your abs! This can only be accomplished through a much more effective full body training routine that maximizes both your metabolic response and your hormonal response to your workouts. This is the main focus of my 5 Minute Fat Loss Program.
After all, you want to focus most of your efforts on the types of exercises, sequencing, and combinations that stimulate the biggest increases in testosterone and growth hormone response. This is the aspect of your workouts that you have been overlooking, yet it is the MOST important aspect that is going to get you insanely lean and cut!
You simply don't achieve this hormonal effect by wasting your time pumping away with crunches, sit ups, torso twists, leg raises, and ab machines.
Now don't get me wrong. It wouldn't be an abs program if I didn't show you the most effective exercises for developing your abdominals to the best extent possible. I also give you detailed instructions and photos on how to do them properly.
But like I said, the main focus of this program is the proprietary method that I use to compile the full body training routines and maximize your fat-burning & metabolism-boosting effect, as well as increasing production of your main muscle building & fat burning hormones... testosterone and growth hormone.
This is the main reason that this program will be MUCH more effective for you than any other abs programs you've tried before. You've got my word on that.
2. This program uses none of your typical boring monotonous cardio routines.
In fact, you don't have to do any typical "cardio" if you don't want to! I actually recommend against it.
Seriously, almost every program out there tells you that you MUST do endless cardio exercise regularly to lose the body fat that is covering your abs. Most of them tell you to do 30-60 minutes of cardio exercise 3-4 days/week in addition to your strength training routines.
The truth is that this is not only unnecessary, but it can actually be counterproductive if you're really trying to get as lean as possible, as quick as possible. I go into this in much more detail in the book, but basically this all comes back to the aspects of your metabolic rate, how much lean muscle you have, the hormonal response in your body from the exercise, and the residual calorie burn in the hours and days following your workouts...
And normal boring moderate intensity cardio routines are ALL WRONG when it comes to maximizing these effects!
Seriously, look at all of the people pumping away mindlessly in the gyms on the treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes day after day, week after week, year after year. Do their bodies look any better than they did last month, or even last year?
I think NOT!
Now you're probably thinking that since I'm against typical boring cardio routines, then that must simply mean I'm a proponent of interval training. Yes, as a matter of fact, I believe interval training is MUCH better than typical cardio.
However, I also use a special exercise selection, combination, and sequencing in my 5 Minute Fat Loss Program that gets even more powerful fat loss and muscle defining results than interval training! And that's saying something, because interval training kicks butt! You'll find out how this system works inside the program.
Want proof that you don't need typical long-duration steady-pace cardio?
Well, first of all, I actually took a course recently that was devoted to scientific research into why steady-pace cardio exercise is actually not that effective at strengthening the heart. The focus of the research basically boiled down to the fact that the heart needs to be trained in a wide variety of ranges to actually be truly strengthened and ready for all the various stresses that life throws at it. Not only that, but steady-pace cardio was also proven in the research studies to be far less effective in the long term at reducing body fat stores.
To give you a real life example... Personally, I haven't done what most people would label "cardio" in probably well over 5 years, and I'm actually leaner now and have a lower body fat % now than years ago when I did cardio regularly. Not only that, but my heart is in the best condition ever, as I now consistently have the resting heart rate of an elite athlete at about 48-50 bpm (remember that lower is better). My resting heart rate used to be in the mid to upper 60's years ago when I used to do normal cardio and strength training routines like most people do.
This improvement in both body fat % and reduced resting heart rate is the direct result of the unique training methods I used in developing the programs in The Truth about Six Pack Abs.
3. This program does NOT revolve around having to use supplements or "fat-loss" pills.
Trust me when I say that for the most part, about 95% of supplements are a complete waste of your hard earned money. I've been approached by supplement companies in the past looking for me to promote their products for them, and offering me a lot of money to do so. Well, you know what I do? I tell them to shove it! Seriously, I won't promote something to my readers that I don't honestly believe in.
The fact is, I've learned over the years through my own experience, as well as hundreds of my clients and friends experiences with supplements, that they are really just selling you the dream that their pill or powder will be some "magical" solution to your struggle with getting that lean ripped body that you've been wanting for years. In reality, most supplements do nothing at all to help you improve your body.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not totally bashing supplement companies, but like I said, about 95% of the products they promote are worthless, and won't create any noticeable changes in your body. I will admit that there can be a place for meal replacements for people that can't find the time to prepare or pack all of their real food meals. I also admit that I do think a high quality, fast digesting protein like whey protein can be useful to mix into your post-workout smoothies. And fish oil products are generally beneficial as well (if they're from a reputable company).
But the fact is that REAL FOOD is ALWAYS better for you than processed supplements (as long as you choose the right foods). Anybody that tells you otherwise has either been brainwashed by all of the propaganda and super-hyped up ads that the supplement companies have spread throughout every magazine on the planet, or they have financial ties to selling supplements in some way themselves.
I have dedicated myself to not being lured into the lucrative world of selling supplements. Even though I could make a lot more money selling supplements than by selling this program, it's just plain against my morals to rip people off like that.
Frankly, it amazes me that most people are more willing to spend $40, $50, even $100 or more on a bottle of pills or powder than to spend less than half that on a comprehensive training and nutrition guide like this 5 Minute Fat Loss Program, which will set them up for life on training programs and dietary secrets that will keep them lean and ripped for life.
The only thing that the bottle of pills or powder is going to do is give you expensive urine! You make the choice.
4. This program does not revolve around using any fancy "ab machines" or "ab gadgets".
In case you were suckered into buying any of these worthless ab belts, ab loungers, ab rockers, or any other worthless ab gadget or machine, I have bad news... You were ripped off!
The truth is that most of these machines and gadgets are not the best way to develop the abdominal muscles. Sure, some of them may help a tiny bit with strengthening the abdominals, but they are far less effective than some of the best floor, hanging, and standing abs exercises.
Also, more importantly, virtually all of these abs machines, belts, and gadgets do absolutely NOTHING to burn fat off of the abdominal area! Seriously, they don't do a damn thing to help you lose body fat from your stomach.
Again, losing the fat that's covering up your abs can only be accomplished with a smart nutritional program, and a well-designed progression-based training system that increases your metabolism and stimulates your fat-burning & muscle building hormones in your body. Achieving this is simple once you understand the techniques I reveal in the 5 Minute Fat Loss Program.
5. This program does not include some sort of fad diet or gimmicky diet trend.
None of that here. I promise you won't be given any more crap about needing to eat "low-carb" or "low-fat", or low or high anything, for that matter. The nutritional strategies I reveal in this program go against all of the authors and companies out there that are trying to lure you in with another one of their gimmicks.
The fact is that they need to come up with some sort of different "angle", so that their diet program appears unique and gives the media something to talk about. That's why there's always some gimmick, like low-fat, or low-carb, or high protein, or the "colors diet", the "low glycemic index diet", the fasting diet, the cabbage diet, Atkins, South Beach... you name it.
Instead, I wanted to give you the TRUTH about what it really takes to eat a nutritious diet that not only will have you burning off that stubborn belly fat, but will also have you feeling full of energy every single day. If you don't already feel energetic and alive every single day, then you are missing out, because it is an awesome feeling!
The great thing is that once you start eating balanced and healthy all the time, you virtually eliminate cravings altogether. Personally, I used to crave sweets constantly before I adopted the nutritious diet that I currently eat. Now, I can honestly say I can't remember the last craving I had. It had to be more than 5 years ago... no joke!
Not only that, but I actually enjoy everything I eat way more than I used to years ago when I ate a lot of junk. Does that mean that I never eat burgers, or pizza, or beer? Of course not... We all have a social life. In fact, there are actually very healthy ways and variations to preparing healthier burgers and healthier pizza that I occasionally use.
I'll even give you many of my own unique Lean-Body Recipes that will give you healthy fat loss meal ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and "mid-meals".
