Five Second Abs - Can a Horse Spot Reduce?
Dear Friend,
The debate continues.
And wouldn't you know that I'd receive something
outta left field that throws a monkey wrench into the
minds of those who have get upset when I say you
can breathe, flex and greatly reduce your midsection.
Learn more about this here -
but for now, let's take a look at the letter I received
a few days ago.
Matt,
We own a two-year-old Quarter horse that we show in the
arena in the "Halter" class. Our horse is considered by those
in the "Halter" show circles as an "Arnold Swartzenneger" horse.
Heavily muscled. His muscular build is a product of his genetics.
But like most other show horses, even when he is being run through
his daily exercise routine, he will build up a deposit of fat on the crest
of his neck, under the mane.
How do we "exercise" that fat off so he has that lean look to his neck
that pleases the judges?
We don't.
We simply give him a normal workout until he is sweating, then immediately
afterward we wrap his throat latch and neck in a special neoprene sweat
blanket for his neck and cover that one with a plastic-lined quilted sweat
blanket, also just for his neck.
We leave him for an hour or two until he cools down, then replace the neck
sweat blanket with a normal blanket. Ask anyone who shows horses in "Halter"
and they will tell you the same thing. Sweat that neck for the lean "ripped"
look.
If the fat is stubborn sometimes we will also rub the fat layer on top of his
neck
with a stiff rubber brush to help break up the fatty deposits. But usually the
sweat
blankets are enough.
Hope you find this interesting.

M.F.: Carl, I not only find it interesting, I have similar stories I can tell,
just not
about horses. The old-timers like Farmer Burns
also advocated massage of the abdominal tissue to break up the fat - just as you
mentioned with the horse's neck. Great stuff. Knew a lady in California that
opened
one of those Swedish wrap places. She was in her mid-40's and looked incredible.
I can also say quite a bit about saunas, sauna suits and such - but will save for
a future e-letter. All the best to you and thanks so much for sending this.
Well, my friend, tis all for now.
Kick butt - take names!

P.S. Many of you have asked for video footage of the Magnificent Seven in
Combat Abs. I'll be putting something together for you on that in the near
future. In the meantime, be sure to get the book and learn here.
