Pick up 2 things today: something heavy AND a vegetable

Yesterday, we talked about the deeper emotional reasons we want to get in shape.

Today, let’s change gears, and keep it light on the surface.

If you’re like most of us, you’ve pictured yourself on the cover of Men’s Health rocking your 6-pack.

But, it hasn’t happened yet (the 6-pack and the cover).

Tell me if this sounds familiar:

The first week or two, the lbs just fall off.

Then, it progressively gets harder and harder the closer you get to your goal.

So, I’ve seen this a lot.

Most lean into a lot of cardio (I just threw up a little in my mouth), but end up “skinny fat”.

And can’t get the last 5-7 pounds off.

99% of the time, the problem?…Not lifting weights.

Let’s keep it simple.

If you want to lose fat, you need to do two things:

Here’s why it works better than ANY fat loss method in the history of mankind:

When you strength train (aka picking up heavy stuff), your muscles are broken down while you’re lifting.

Then, they rebuild themselves stronger over the next 24/48 hours.

During those 24/48 hours, magic happens.

Your body sends calories to rebuild muscle.

It also sends even more calories to burn as fuel to handle the increased activity of muscle rebuilding.

This means two amazing things:

You get TWO for the PRICE OF ONE!

Your assignment for today?

And answering any questions when they do pop up.

We’re here to help.

STAY STRONG,

Jeff
