Oh No ... Five Second Abs
Dear Friend,
Got an email from Tony, a guy who says he usually
agrees with me, but that my latest emails on training the
Abs contain a fallacy. In case you missed them, those emails
can be found at: here and at ...
here.
Now, let's take a look at his email - and my response.
Hello Matt,
I usually agree with what you say but the quote:
"And what if 30 days later you lost several inches of flab off your waist
from this method? "
What you're claiming is that abdominal exercise will burn fat off
your waist. Come on we know that's not true. If the waist is smaller
its purely because the ab muscles are tighter and holding in firmer OR
because you've been doing something else to burn the fat (hill
sprints/cardio -whatever).
I don't mind you're "I know more about fitness than every other expert and
specialist in the world' but reading this sort of claim makes wonder how
much you do know? You are seriously claiming you can burn body fat from the
waist doing ab exercisie for 6 minutes a day?
I had been tempted to puchase your products but after that... well I don't
think so.
cheers
Tony
M.F.: Let me ask and answer a few more questions that may give you a bit more
food for thought:
1. Can a person "spot reduce" a specific area of the body? By this I mean, can
someone exercise one body part, i.e., the abdominals, and have it reduce in size?
According to you, even if that happens, it isn't lost fat, it's just because the
ab muscles
are held in tighter.
Well, if tighter abs muscles pull the waistline in three to six inches - hot dam
- I think
most people will take that - so what's your point? Oh, you say it's not fat.
Well, where'd the
six inches go? I hope not back inside the body as the organs wouldn't have as much
room to navigate.
2. Can a person "spot build?" That's right. Can you work a specific muscle and
make it
grow larger? Or is it like the "cannot spot reduce theory?" Does the entire body
need to
grow for an individual muscle to grow, as it supposedly does with fat reduction?
My experience shows that, yes, a person can "spot build." And there are many,
many
people who will tell you that you can work an area of the body and have it
"reduce."
As the late Paul Bragg would say, "Fat can only accumulate on an area of the body
where there is the least amount of activity."
By this I guess Bragg understood that fat goes where there's no activity - yet
according
to the "can't spot reduce' idea - this should not be impossible. If you can't
spot reduce,
then you shouldn't be able to spot "gain" - as in weight, muscle, fat, or
anything else. Yet,
most people know, without the aid of a scientific study, that one or all of the
above have happened to them sometime in their life.
Sat on my butt at a computer for eight hours a day - butt got fatter. Rest of the
body
looked the same.
Didn't train my abs - got a lot of fat around the midsection. Rest of the body
stayed
the same.
Put my leg in a cast, had it removed six weeks later - leg was shriveled to half
it's
normal size - yet ... rest of the body looked the same.
Went on a diet - lost 50 pounds. Trouble is I lost the weight in my upper body,
but
my butt and legs are still huge. Sounds like that was a "spot diet" the person
was on.
If fat supposedly leaves the body at the same speed all over, and you supposedly
cannot
spot reduce, then why, when some people lose weight they lose it everywhere but
the
problem area?
Hmmm.
3. You've stated that the person who dropped six inches from the waistline
had to be doing "something else' - such as "cardio.' Well, I am certain I can
find people who have done cardio, and a lot of it, and not lost weight. Modern
gyms are filled with them. Yet, send that same person to lumberjack school for
a few months, have him chop wood for a living - and I'll bet you a Moose steak
that he'll look dramatically different afterward. How did that happen without
"cardio."
Now, just so you know, like the lumberjack cutting wood, the Farmer Burns
Stomach
Flattener is actually a full body exercise. While flexing and contracting your
abs, you
are also working your chest, arms, neck and so on.
Also, because of the way the exercise is done, many people note vast improvements
in
digestion. Not only that, but one 48-year old woman, Lousie, wrote me last week
to tell
me that the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener eliminated her "incontinence" problem,
something that she'd dealt with for years.
I could go on and on, but I'll save some for later. Bottom line is that you can
dramatically
change the shape of your abs with one exercise that takes two to six seconds to
perform.

Kick butt - take names!

P.S. From time to time, if not often, you'll note "typos" in these emails. Some
are
deliberate, por ejemplo, spelling errors that add colour to an otherwise bland
subject.
Other typos, though, are due to the fact that I write these emails "stream of
consciousness" - without correction ... and will continue to do so - uh hum,
without
correction. In most cases, on actual sales pages where I blatantly ask for your
money,
such as here - every attempt is made to
remove typos - but in some cases, when we did so, sales declined, so we put them
back in. Say what? I swear to you - 'tis true, 'tis true. Anyway, have a great
day.
