FREE fitness DVD and updates

Most of you know that I am working hard on my
first book in order to have it ready for early 2008 release. But,
unlike every other fitness book - I don't plan on including 50
pages of exercise photos with 'start' and 'finish' shots. No,
I plan on going way beyond that. The true way to learn how
to exercise is by watching a DVD, so you can see and hear all
the small details.

My plan is to include with the book a bonus DVD that will
teach a complete home workout routine. This will be
geared toward beginners and semi-beginners who are ready to
make a true commitment to fitness but don't want, or have time,
to get to the gym 5 or 6 times per week.

This DVD will also be very helpful for trainers who work with
clients in their homes or offices.

The book will provide lots of valuable insights, lessons,
strategies and time tested principles for permanent fitness
success - that will benefit you, no matter what level of
fitness you are currently at. Oh, and of course, it will
include the 30 day version of the Blow-Torch 'Di.et'.

We are set to professionally shoot this DVD this weekend, on
Sunday to be exact. As the book is now 3/4 done - we are
starting to pull together all the pieces of the puzzle
that will make this one of the top fitness/nutrition books
on the market, by virtue of how it helps anyone who is ready
to read and act on what they learn.

Speaking of DVD productions, many of you know that we plan to
release the Leg, butt, hip, thigh Makeover REMAKE in mid-2008.

Before it gets released to the public, it will first be made
available (at a 40 - 55% discount) to all of you who own the
the current LBHTMakeover version. It's my way of
saying 'thanks!' for believing in and using my programs.

Pretty cool, huh?

Regarding titles: 'Fatness to Fitness' seems to be the most
popular - but we will set up an official survey page soon so we
can make the results official. The survey will be similar to the
one we set up for my Fitnessjuice(TM) concept...

Speaking of which - I want to thank all of you who have taken the
time to answer those 4 questions - it has revealed some incredible insight as to how many others would like to see a
product like this on the market. There is a lot of work
involved with bringing a fitness beverage to market, but the more
research I do on the actual product that I make for myself, the
more I realize that there are benefits that are not offered
by any other RTD (ready to drink) beverage that is formulated
for the fitness lifestyle.

Here is just one little snippet of info that you may find
interesting and helpful - if not, I'll expand upon it next week:

Drinking during exercise or sports aims to provide:

* Water and electrolytes to replace sweat losses
* Carbohydrate to supplement energy stores

The choice of drink will depend on whether you need a drink to replace fluid losses or to provide more energy / carbohydrate or both.

There are three types of drinks

* Hypotonic
* Isotonic
* Hypertonic

Hypotonic

Hypotonic drinks are absorbed into the body more quickly than plain water. They usually contain low levels of carbohydrate, less that 3g carbohydrate/100ml and may have a little salt added. They quench thirst and provide fluid, but do not provide significant amounts of energy.

When to Use: They are a good type of drink to choose when you want to replace fluid quickly without a lot of carbohydrate e.g. when training lasts for less than one hour and is of low intensity. They can also be useful if you need a high fluid intake when in a hot climate and do not want to consume too many calories

Isotonic

Isotonic drinks are absorbed as fast as or faster than plain water. In addition to replacing fluids they also provide carbohydrate, 5 - 8g carbohydrate/100ml.

They are designed to provide some carbohydrate to fuel the muscles, and have a little salt added to enhance the absorption and retention of fluid in your body. Most commercial sports drinks fall into this category.

When to use: Isotonic drinks are good for replacing fluids and providing carbohydrate if you are training for more than one hour. They can be drunk before, during and after exercise.

Hypertonic

In these drinks the carbohydrate content is much higher, usually more that 10g carbohydrate/100ml. Hypertonic drinks are absorbed more slowly than plain water. They replace lost energy rather than replacing fluids and therefore are not an effective fast way to re-hydrate. e.g. pure fruit juice, many canned drinks and energy drinks

When to use: These types of drinks are taken when energy replacement is the priority rather than fluids and can be used to top up your daily carbohydrate intake.

I'm uncovering more insights such as this one on a daily basis.
I'll share them as I find them.

Stay tuned for the next edition of:
'Awesome Fitness Emails from Around the World' - it may
be going out tomorrow...


Don't be like everybody else... Be Fit!
