Channeling Aggression
We all get mad at something sometimes no matter what it is. It's part of our human nature flipping through the yin and yang of our emotional and physical status. We become aggressive almost animal like at times and there are ways to channel that. When you become aggressive, most of the time you clinch up, become very tense and your whole emotional power is held at bay. Some people are so aggressive, they don't realize what's happening around them and it's all they can think of and being rough and mean. However, if you learn to channel it in a positive and productive manner it becomes a whole new ball game. Imagine being able to use that side of you as a way to make your body and mind stronger and taking on challenges at a much more successful rate.
I know what it's like to have a temper and having a mean streak. When it came on and I didn't know what was going on because I was so angry I use to punch things, not people thank god because I'm definitely not that kind of guy but I have my share of bruises and scars from hitting doors, knocking out an entire window and putting holes in other places. It's not something I recommend and it's in no way healthy as an individual to hit anything especially if it moves. I have learned through various types of training to tune my temper into a more productive manner that doesn't hurt anybody or anything and it's helped me get what I need out in more of a workout type of way. Whenever I get really upset or mad or frustrated about something I get my Thor hammer and tire and have at it until it wears off. I especially need to let it out sometimes when a break up occurs especially if it's someone you really cared about and it hurts like hell. One night after being told that I couldn't be with this girl anymore I took a deck of cards, a Thor Hammer and a tire outside and just hit the tire as long as I can. I made it through the entire deck and felt happy and incredible afterwards. I channeled my anger and frustration and turned into something that brings joy to my life and that's training.
Being aggressive and angry can be put to good use. You can realign your focus and work towards having those endorphins kick in and jump starting your hormones to the point where building muscle and burning fat is at a mighty rate. Sure it isn't easy to take a deep breath and think for a second because your body becomes tense and stiff. Another favorite of mine to let out my aggression to calm down is to do Animal Exercises and play a little game. Think differently and learn how to use your aggression on something that is guaranteed to put you down and let everything sink in in a positive way. This a great way to help your kids too because as you know when they reach puberty everything shoots through the roof and the emotional status is all over the place. When they move fast and breathing hard it opens up the body in a very different light, when everything wears down they're calmer, relaxed, and happy because of that high. Don't ever force them to do it, encourage it and this way they don't hurt anyone, they're controlling their emotions and it helps stay healthy physically, emotionally and mentally.
If you truly want to know a good secret to lighting that switch, open up your mind and feel into your body that brings out that adrenaline and super charged strength that occurs. One of the coolest ways to look at it from a perspective is if you watched The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton. At the end of the movie he's in a cabin in a meditative state with a timer ticking and incents are flowing, he's feeling relaxed and calm yet a moment later his heart rate spikes out of nowhere and his eyes turn green to turn into the hulk as if he was able to bring him out on his own will. That is a hell of a way to get your body ready to train, you utilize your mind power to create the surge and power within you. Using positive aggression to focus on your task. A lot of people look at aggression as a negative thing but there is a way to use it in a manner that gives you focus, strength and other attributes to bring out the strongest version of yourself. It takes practice and it takes a special kind of awareness but it is possible and you can use it.

Odd "isometric" body shaping method (FREE for next few hours)
Note: You may have noticed that Santa Cruz personal
trainer and bootcamp owner Tyler Bramlett is taking the fitness world by storm
this week with a brand new style of fat-loss cross training. Well today, he
also unveiled a strange body-sculpting method called "Power
Isometrics." And you can get it FREE until tonight, midnight. Details
below…
Did you know you can shape and sculpt your most important body parts
without lifting heavy weights or using expensive equipment?
And even if you DO like lifting weights, you can use a special method
called "isometrics" to get even faster and better results. It's
basically a strategic series of "static" muscular contractions.
The strange thing is, even though there's a bunch of research proving how
well this stuff works, almost no one is using it. But my friend and Santa Cruz
trainer and bootcamp owner is one of the top experts.
And he's giving away a brand new program called "Power Isometrics"
TODAY only. In fact, you've only got a few more hours to secure your free copy.
Details here…
Tyler is really one of the BEST people in the world you could learn these
methods from. Here's why…
He has traveled the country hunting down fitness experts way, way off the
“mainstream” grid, soaking up everything they had to teach…
… and he learned plenty of underground techniques like the isometrics
he's sharing today in his new bonus program.
He's been teaching this stuff right alongside his groundbreaking CT-50
fatloss system for years, but only to a select few private clients. He's never
written this stuff down for anyone, until today.
And now he's giving it away for FREE to everyone who invests in the
complete CT-50 fat-loss cross training system before midnight...
(…don't worry, if you bought CT-50 earlier in the week, you'll also be
getting this exciting new bonus…)
In case you missed my prediction this morning. I
think the CT-50 system might actually be the next big workout trend. So you
might as well be one of those cool folks who get's in on the action early… :-)
It has all the fat-burning benefits of popular workout trends like
Crossfit and P90X, but without the pitfalls of high-injury rates or excessively
long workouts. In fact, Tyler's fat torching CT-50 workouts are all DONE in 20
minutes or less!
CT-50 is also doable even for total beginners, but still offers a crazy
challenge for super-fit former athletes. That's because the program features 5
levels of difficulty, each one capped off with a "Challenge Workout"
that helps you decide if you're ready for the next stage!
And all the workouts are filmed as follow-along videos, so you just have
to press play and let Tyler coach you through the session for optimal fatloss.
And just so you know, the videos are shot in HD and are super high
quality.
The entire system is a class act, just like my friend Tyler. But you've
only got a few hours left to get CT-50 at 30% off. The price goes up at
midnight, and if you don't act, you'll also lose out on your free copy of Power
Isometrics…
Go grab that now, while it's on your mind, and you can come back and
thank me later… :-)

The “Dirty Little Secret” That Builds Magazine-Cover Bodies
The last couple days I’ve been sharing some new workout ideas that have
been shaking up the fitness world lately. Today I wanted to share with you the
one “rule” that will make you or break you when it comes to seeing the results
you want…
This one simple
"rule" can be found in the workout programs of the best physiques in
the world -- and it had nothing to do with genetics, your diet, or how long you
spend in the gym?
The “rule” I’m
talking about can be summarized in just 3 words…
Form… Follow…
Function!
What this means for you
is that the exercises you choose to use in your workouts and how good you get
at these exercises determines the way your body will look, feel and perform.
Let me elaborate…
Have you ever seen an
athlete with a bad body? My bet is NO!
That’s because athletes
and their coaches, whose sole goal is to improve performance understand this 1
“rule” better then most.
Instead of focusing
on working out your muscles or focusing on how out of breath you are, athletes
focus on whether or not they are performing their “exercises” with greater
strength, skill or speed.
Just take a second to
imagine what your abs would look like if all you could ever do was a few simple
leg raises. And… you were never shown how to make the exercise more difficult.
You probably wouldn't be able to see much in the way of results, right?
Now imagine if the
opposite were true… Instead of being stuck on a basic exercise, you knew the
EXACT progression that you need to use to work up to performing an exercise
like a hanging knee tuck, a knees to elbows or even a full hanging leg raise.
If you knew this
progression and you worked your way up, do you think your abs would change in
the process?
They wouldn't just
change… because of the principal that “Form, Follows Function” they would be
forced to change, no matter what!
This is the power of
movement progressions that show you the step-by-step way to go from basic,
beginner exercises to more complex ones, all the while sending Loud And
Clear fat burning, muscle toning signals that your body can’t ignore.
If you wanna learn
more about movement progressions and see how the’ve helped others lose 71lbs in
only 45 minutes a week, check this out…
Be Awesome
P.S. Without using this “rule” in your
exercise routine, you will doom yourself to endless plateaus and repeated
failure! However… with this “rule” you’ll send loud and clear fat burning,
muscle toning signals that force your body to change. Find out how you can easily use this “rule” to transformyour body in 45 minutes a week…

7 Workout SINS to AVOID
2014 has been a crazy year in the fitness world. Many trends have come
and gone mostly because they simply could’t deliver the results they promised.
I thought about writing an article on this subject, but my friend beat me
to it :) So… here are the 7 WORST Workout SINS Of 2014…
Workout Sin #1 - Muscle Confusion
Over the last decade, you've probably noticed how popular the concept of
muscle confusion has become, right?
While there is a possibility that you could get results doing random
workouts every day, the chances of you seeing a dramatic change in your body is
slim to none.
There's a simple principal in high level physical therapy and athletic
training circles called the S.A.I.D. principal that PROVES muscle confusion
doesn't work as well as the mainstream media wants you to believe.
The S.A.I.D principal basically says, your body only adapts (AKA burns
fat and builds lean toned muscle) to the stimulus or exercise you use. And...
other fitness experts claim that it can take 2-3 weeks for that adaptation to
be achieved.
What this means is, when you constantly do different workouts, this
adaptation (AKA body transformation) process never get's a chance to fully
express it self.
It's kind of like you wanting to walk to the store and instead of taking
long brisk steps, you take 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. It'll work,
but it will take you forever to get there.
Workout Sin #2 - High Intensity Interval Training
Practically every new exercise program these days is using some form of
High Intensity Interval Training. The reason for this is because of a study
you've probably heard of called the Tabata study.
This study showed that people who exercised for 4 minutes using 20
seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest were able to get better results
then people who exercised for 60 minutes!
While this is true, most people abuse this information (usually for
marketing purposes) by neglecting to mention that the group that exercised for
only 4 minutes (all who were olympic caliber athletes) were working at 170% of
their VO2 Max!
This means that the interval group was exercising with an intensity level
that normal people like you and me will NEVER achieve.
Which then means, that most workout program that use exclusively
intervals are misleading you by doing what scientists call, "skewing the
data."
This is not to say intervals are bad. Intervals are a great way to train.
However... you must use them with another method of progression, and your
workouts need to be shorter not longer!
Which leads into the next sin...
Workout Sin #3 - You Need To Exercise More
One of the biggest problems people make when it comes to their workouts
is believing that more is always better. This is not true!
In FACT, would you believe me if I told you that you can exercise less
than 45 minutes a week and still get amazing results?
If this sounds too good to be true just checkout the video proof on the next page because the truth is that
everyone struggles with the desire to workout more :(
However... did you know that excess exercise can increase cortisol (AKA
the FAT STORING hormone)?
And... did you know that the only way to prevent this cortisol spike from
happening is to exercise less? Sometimes as little as just 9-minutes!
Yes I did just say that you can exercised for as little as 9-minutes and
still manage to get better results then people exercising for 45, 60 or even 90
minutes!
Workout Sin #4 - Strength Training Is Better Than Cardio
AND
Workout Sin #5 - Cardio Is Better Than Strength Training
This may be a little confusing because I'm gonna attack the 2 most
popular exercise methods t the same time.
However... stick with me, because it will all make sense soon. Let me ask
you a question to prove my point...
You've probably noticed that there are 2 types of people who exercise
regularly:
PERSON #1 - Believes Strength Training Is The Key To Burning Fat,
Building Lean Toned Muscle And Transforming Your Body.
AND
PERSON #2 - Believes That Cardio Is The Ultimate Key To Losing Fat,
Building Lean Toned Muscle And Transforming Your Body.
Now... strength training is great and it's definitely effective for
building muscle. However, I've met a few strength athletes that can lift heavy
weights, but can't walk up a flight of stairs without losing their wind.
You don't want that, do you?
NO! I didn't think so :) If you're anything like me or my clients, you
want to develop a lean body that looks great and performs great!
On the other side, cardio is great for burning fat, if it's done
correctly. Which is why cardio is not the enemy and must be viewed as another
piece of the body transformation puzzle.
So... you could go out there and follow a program that does 30 minutes of
strength and 30 minutes of cardio. However...
Since I've already pointed out that longer workouts can be less effective
and can trash your fat loss hormones, the better thing for you to do if you
want to see the amazing body transformation results you desire, is to use the newly re-discovered workout technology that I'll
share with you in a sec.
But first, let me tackle the last 2 sins...
Workout Sin #6 - You Have To Lift Weights
AND
Workout Sin #7 - Bodyweight Training Is Best
Just like cardio and strength training, you've probably noticed that
people have been dividing themselves into 2 different camps...
CAMP 1 - You Have To Lift Weights To See Results!
OR
CAMP 2 - Bodyweight Training Is The Best Way To See Results!
And... just like strength and cardio, both people are WRONG!
The best way to view exercise is to understand the signals that each
exercise is sending to your body. We already touched on this
"adaptation" above and you should know by now that the signals you
send your body during your workouts are what give you the body transformation
results you desire, NOT whether it's bodywight or lifting weights.
Even worse, when people only lift weights or only do bodyweight
exercises, they are KILLING their potential results because each type of
exercise sends a different signal to your body and the more LOUD AND CLEAR fat
burning, body transforming signals you can send, the faster your results will
be!
Now that you know the TRUTH about the 7 Workout Sins you need to AVOID, I
also wanted to share with you an ancient story about a bull that changed the
way I look at my workouts for good!
Plus, as promised... I'll show you dozens of real world body
transformations from people just like you who used this ancient workout secret
to send loud and clear body transformation signals to their bodies all in less
than an hour a week!
So… if your at all interested in learning the most powerful workout
technique nobody is talking about, that will melt the fat off your body, sculpt
lean muscles and completely transform your body in a matter of weeks... then
the Next Page will share with you
how a story about a bull from 536 BC changed my body and the bodies of
thousands of other for good...
I had heard this story before, but never really understood why it was so
important until now. Enjoy the read!
Be Awesome
