Fit 365: Find Out If You Too Are At Risk
How about a stroke? Diabetes?
Okay, this isn't sounding like a positive letter... but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.
I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry's upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she's ready to release it.
Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.
Our conversation took a turn to "doctor's tests." I think most of them are worthless. Some are vital.
It's important to know the difference.
I'm going to give you the three tests you absolutely must take if you want to help ensure your future health in a moment.
But first, let me give you Sherry's argument to my third test.
Yes, we nutritionists argue sometimes. ; )
I'll let you decide. But statically it's far more accurate than any blood test... and get this:
You can do it at home for freee.
So far, are you with me? Good.
I'm going to go in reverse order, third test to last...
The third test is simply this:
Measure your waistline. Use a tape measure and do not pull it tight. Measure right below the navel.
Write down that number in inches.
Then measure your height out of shoes in inches. Write that down too.
If your waist in inches is more than twice your height you are FOUR TIMES more likely to have heart disease.
Four times. That's more predictive than cholesterol tests by far.
And a lot less expensive to boot.
Don't just read about this test -- DO IT. I'll give you something you can do ABOUT it if you fail this test in a second.
The great news is that this is one factor that is totally within your control.
Test number two: Know your SED rate. This is an inflammatory marker in the blood.
Test number one: Know your hsCRP and LP(a) levels. Both of these can be done as one test usually. Both are inflammatory markers as well as key indicators of heart health.
Go to your doctor and ask for these three blood tests. Usually they can be done all at once. Sometimes they are separate, but they are all crucial.
If you are thin and look healthy, listen to this:
You too can be Lance Armstrong or Jim Fixx....and not know it.
Lance and Jim looked like two of the healthiest men on the planet. Lance beat testicular cancer but came within an inch of his life. Jim died after a short jog of a heart attack very young in life.
Looks can be deceiving.
This is Sherry's argument -- and she's totally correct.
That's why I give you THREE (well, actually four) TESTS.
You see, it's virtually impossible to have a normal SED rate, a normal hsCRP level and a normal LP(a) level and be at imminent risk for any of these killer diseases.
Possible, perhaps -- but almost not.
So, if you look healthy and feel like a bazillion bucks, you still need to know your levels of these inflammatory markers.
If you are overweight or obese, you totally absolutely MUST do the waist/height test as well as the others.
You see, it goes both ways.
Some obese folks test out okay at the doc's office. Their cholesterol, blood pressure, and all typical readings are okay. Rarely does a doc run an hsCRP or LP(a). And rarely do they run a SED rate.
See the importance here?
Both the fit and the unfit can be at dire risk and not even know it.
Now, here's the solution:
A low-inflammatory nutrition and training plan, along with plenty of stress-free time.
I can help you with the first two things.
The third thing -- de-stressing -- is up to you. You may want to spend 30 minutes a day doing yoga, walking, meditating, praying, or whatever calms your MIND and BODY down.
Check it out:
Lance and Jim were both doing insane amounts of exercise... so much that they demanded insane amounts of high-inflammatory foods. Foods like processed carbohydrates for example.
And they both got sick. One of them died.
My good friend Dr. Steven Chase believes that 85% of cancer is preventable.
Re-read that: 85%. And he's an oncologist -- a cancer doctor.
And you know heart disease is 95% preventable... or did you?
But all of these killers, especially diabetes, demand a low-insulin, low-inflammatory nutrition and exercise plan.
Lance and Jim had sky-high inflammatory levels from all that exercise. It was literally TOO much exercise.
That's why so many marathoners die of heart attacks. They eat inflammatory foods and engage in high-stress exercise for too long of a time.
So, what's the answer?
1. Short workouts that are intense, effective, and enjoyable. Weights and cardio both, or in-home resistance workouts will work fine.
2. Longer "soft" workouts like brisk walking that helps de-stress the body and burn more bodyfat.
3. A nutrition plan that allows for your favorite foods at the RIGHT TIME of the day but also helps you burn bodyfat without activating your body's stress-producing hormones like cortisol...cool.
Most nutrition plans are stressful. Big mistake. Stress can cause you to hold on to bodyfat. Plus stress causes inflammation.
Most workout plans are either too easy or too intense for too long a period of time. My System is super-short (7-14 minutes a day, plus walks when you can.) This is enough to build all the muscle you need plus burn bodyfat when combined with the nutrition plan.
My System's nutrition plan is ideal if you are willing to "diet" for a day or two, then enjoy a day of eating "normal" foods.
Hey, no one is perfect. Anyone who has half a brain should know that not very many people (myself included) are willing to do without their favorite foods forever.
That's silly -- and it's not necessary to burn bodyfat.
In fact, my System 'demands' that you eat these foods at certain times TO BURN MORE BODYFAT!
Wild, isn't it?
It's the System I've used for years.
It's the combination of two books:
7 Minute Muscle + Every Other Day Diet
Get them both for one low price...

Any of my three Upgrade Kits come with both books, a full year of support from me on the Every Other Day Diet group Forum, and so many bonuses I can't list them all.
This combo is something I am so very proud to share with you.
It's the ultimate System for lowering bodyfat, increasing lean muscle, lowering insulin, lowering inflammation, and ensuring your health.
Whether you are in shape or obese, this System is one that will work for you.

M-Power Turbocharge Audio Series
Hi Dear Friend, it's Ricardo Weatherly with a fantastic gift for you.
Below you'll find an article by a friend of mine that really brought things into focus for me. I found it very intriguing, and thought you would enjoy reading it, too.
------------
Manifesting Life Within The Moments
by Jon Benson
Take a pen and a sheet of paper and just start doodling. Seriously.
Congratulations -- you've just created something from nothing...an image that never existed before nor will ever exist again, carved from the moments of your alloted time on this planet.
Hang with me -- this all deals with your level of fitness, the power of your mind, and the success you have in your life...
http://www.mpowerseries.com/aff/ricardo
Any child recognizes their power to create. Most even realize the power to mold their own destinies. Children know when they've done something "wrong", even when they're doing it in most cases. They also know the "destiny" that awaits them in the form of dad coming home from work! Perhaps they do not know the particulars, but they get the basic idea.
Somewhere along the way, someone or something talked most of us out of the idea that we have anything to do with our destiny, let alone that we can manifest our moments, literally creating our destiny by existing fully within the moments we are given and making the most out of them.
To some, this sounds as if one is trying to "play God"...but this is not true. Instead, I believe that we are called by existence itself to manage our lives and our destiny through the application of powerful, truthful thinking that inspires consistent, Core-motivated action.
That was a long sentence, but an important one. Let's break it down.
M-Power is founded on the Principle of Core Ethics (tm). This applies to your body, mind, relationships...you name it.
Core Ethics is a combination of three crucial and universal truths:
1. Truth
2. Responsibility
3. Abundance
More specifically, truthful thinking, ruthless responsibility, and flowing abundance. These are the key distinctions within my key distinctions!
All three of these distinctions are covered heavily in M-Power, but for today I'd like to give you some broad-stroke truths to apply in the art of manifesting your moments.
First, by thinking truthfully (as opposed to "positively" or "irrationally"), one can see that words become our world. James Allen took a passage from the Bible to clarify this in his book, "As A Man Thinketh." What we think produces a conversation with our self -- the most important of all conversations, as it's by far the longest. This produces the words we say to ourselves and to others. These words are either based in truth or based in fiction.
Saying, "I'm going to die if I don't get some ice cream" is, of course, utter fiction. Yet most people use this type of language all the time. The opposite is the "positive thinking" camp -- the ones who look in the mirror and say, "I'm fit, and I'm beautiful!" when they're not...and they're not!
The alternative, and the way to begin manifesting your destiny in the moment, rather than in some far away, mystical "someday", is to say this:
"I am in the process of learning what I need to know in order to become more fit, healthy and attractive every day of my life."
This is not a false statement if you are so much as reading this article!
Remember this scientific fact: any form of energy that is non-truth creates dissonance, and dissonance remodels cellular structure. That sounds kinda complex, but all I'm saying is this:
You lie, you die.
Really.
Photographs of water prove this point. Saying things that are not true to the speaker changes the structure of water molecules. Speaking words of hate do the same. You are programmed to live in harmony with yourself, and the language we use on a daily basis is often the opposite of harmony. It is the creation of dissonance. And we wonder why we have all this mental and physical disease in our world!
Your very cells scream out, "Take responsibility!" Speak in truth, both out loud and to yourself, and watch what happens.
This level of accountability to yourself will produce flowing abundance, or wealth in every area of your life that flows outward rather than remains bottled up inside of you. "Canning abundance" as I call it is a sure-fire way to total overwhelm in life. You must share it -- and by doing so, you reap more.
Become a manifestor of moments; moments that add up to the time of your life.
You can start today by joining up with an entire team dedicated to three things in your life: your health, your wealth, and your total abundance.

The Truth About Six Pack Abs e-book
Instead of the typical ab exercise routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc... I like to give my readers better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work their entire body while also working their abs.
I'm going to show you an example today of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't include any direct ab exercises at all. It's in a tri-set format (similar to a super-set but alternating between 3 exercises).
Here goes:
1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
1b. Front Squats with Barbell
1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor
A good rep scheme to use with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Mountain climbers can be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) instead of "reps".
Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect during the rows creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me... you'll feel it in the abs!
Front squats are done similar to back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders instead of resting on the upper back as in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This takes a little practice at first, so you will want to seek a professional trainer at your gym to help you with the form. Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is mostly a leg exercise, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!
Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.
After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.
This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I mean after you try it!
If you are tired of failing to get visible six pack abs, consider losing the traditional ab exercises and bogus ab gadget machines, and find out the real fat loss for abs truth at Best Ab Exercises & Workouts for Abdominals
