WARNING: These Five Truths Will Contradict Everything You Thought You Knew About Diet & Fitness. So...Prepare Yourself...

1* | First is the plain fact that it's fat you need to lose... not weight . If you actually lose weight on most of the fad diets out there, you lose mostly water... not fat . You're not getting healthier... You're just getting dangerously dehydrated! |
2* | Low carb diets will not make you lose fat in the long run because they rob your body of energy thus making it too hard to follow. Low fat diets are worse, putting even more fat on you! The only way to drop the fat is by eating the right foods... in the right amounts... and at the right time. Sounds complicated, I know... but it's really simple! |
3* | Long, boring cardio exercise... four or even six times per week is the worst way to burn fat. If you know this little secret, it's now possible to burn five times the belly fat exercising just 45 minutes per week. Not per day... I said per week! |
4* | Celebrity-endorsed boxed food diets are expensive , and slow. That means you have to keep paying for months! Plus... the ads skip over the part about you still having to buy your own vegetables! That's hundred$ more each month! |
5* | Restrictive dieting (AKA starving yourself) is not only stupid and dangerous... but it doesn't really work! Why go to bed hungry when there's a delicious way to “tickle your system” into burning fat all night long... while you sleep the night away? |
Now that you know the truth of how your diet was sabotaged before you even started it...
Now that you know what not to do if you ever want to be fit...
It's time for you to know what you must do to drop the fat right now ... and keep it off forever.
What you must do to finally look and feel healthy... sexy... in control.
Yes... we're talking about a simple, quick and safe way to lose 26 pounds of fat in 7 incredible weeks.
swimming to a 6 pack

Many people enjoy a rather uneasy love-hate relationship with the sport of swimming. Those, like Valéry, who love to swim, see it as a total mind-body-spirit release and arguably the best total-body exercise around. A good swim reduces stress and leaves you feeling energized and healthy. It improves your range of motion and joint health and is the ideal adjunct to any workout program, because it improves aerobic capacity and cardiovascular fitness without impact. Injuries are practically nonexistent in this sport.
People who hate swimming say that decoding the swim stroke can be as confusing as unraveling the Gordian knot, and that staring at that torturous black line at the bottom of the pool will put you directly into a straitjacket.
Whatever your swim disposition, this chapter will help you maximize your efficiency and enjoyment in the water in a short period of time--and get you out of the water in your triathlon event feeling fresh, strong and ready to sail off on your bike.
There are four learning stages in swimming, according to Terry Laughlin, founder of Total Immersion in New Paltz, New York, a training program that teaches swimming technique to both professional athletes and beginning swimmers. First is the period of water orientation, which involves learning to be comfortable in the water. It's vital that beginners establish an early, easy relationship with the water, or they may never enjoy it. Swimming in open water--an ocean, lake or river--is different from the confines of a pool. Getting familiar with the body of water before the event by checking tides, currents and temperatures as well as clarity and cleanliness is prudent.
The second and third stages involve learning the basic elements of the swim stroke and then improving them to make the stroke more efficient. Finally, there is the advanced learning phase, when you focus on refining motor coordination and learning to swim stronger and faster.
Hone Your Swimming Technique
Let's assume you've already familiarized yourself with the water. (If you haven't, spend two to three 30-minute sessions in the pool simply feeling the water and how your body moves in it.) So now it's time to tackle learning and polishing your technique--which is the foundation of swimming both for pleasure and performance.
Any local pool can provide a striking lesson in the importance of good swimming technique. Look closely, and you'll see swimmers flailing across the water like madpeople, as well as others gliding along the lanes effortlessly--fishlike. The difference isn't in fitness level, but technique. The best swimmers have near-flawless technique, which allows them to use less energy to swim across the pool.
I once attended a training camp in Florida with four-time Olympic champion Alexander Popov, regarded as one of the top swim technicians in the world. But Popov had been ill, and /// we were watching his first workout in almost a month. We assumed he would have trouble even getting across the pool.
Not Popov. He dove in and cut a swath through the pool, stroking up and down the lanes as if he had been training twice a day for the past month. Onlookers were amazed. I asked his coach, the legendary Gennadi Touretsky, how Popov did this.
"Alexander has never practiced anything but perfect, flawless technique in the pool," Touretsky said, "He doesn't know any differently. He may be out of shape right now, but his body remembers the perfect technique. He has perfect body position and perfect application of strength. That is why he can swim so well even when he is out of shape--and it's why he beats the best swimmers in the world."
Honing your technique is the best way to reach your potential in any sport, but it's particularly important in swimming. That's because swimming is a technical sport similar to golf or tennis, rather than a power sport like cycling or weight lifting. Improving your swimming technique will benefit your training in three key ways.
Your performance will soar. By learning how to execute the swim stroke with greater efficiency, you'll produce more results with the same effort. In other words, if you improve your swim stroke by just five percent, you can increase your speed noticeably without trying harder.
You'll experience fewer exercise-induced injuries or pain. If you swim in a more relaxed and natural way, you'll place less stress on your muscles, joints and tendons. This applies to other sports as well: Learn to run more smoothly and you'll experience less impact stress in your body every time your foot hits the ground.
You'll enjoy yourself more. By moving your body more efficiently through the water, swimming will feel more comfortable. You will begin to flow smoothly through swim workouts, rather than fight through them.
