Happy New Year! I hope you have the healthiest and happiest year yet in 200= 9.=20

In today's ezine, I'm going to show you an extremely powerful technique tha= t can help you break through your barriers and lose more body fat than you = thought was possible.

Between working as a personal trainer and nutrition counselor for almost a = decade, and authoring my best selling fitness book, Truth About Abs, over 2= 00,000 people have used my fitness programs. However, does every single pe= rson get results? Some get great results, some don't get any results... On= ly those that actually TAKE ACTION on the advice get results.=20

It doesn=E2=80=99t matter how well my fat loss techniques work... If you do= n=E2=80=99t follow them, you WON'T lose fat.=20

For my clients who have trouble sticking with a program, I give them a tech= nique that has nothing to do with nutrition or exercise. It=E2=80=99s somet= hing called medical hypnosis.=20

As I've said a thousand times before, your fitness all starts in your mind.= ... and that's where medical hypnosis can help to make it automatic for you = to take the right types of action that create long term results.

Now before you start thinking, =E2=80=9CWhy on earth is Mike recommending h= ypnosis...=E2=80=9D I want to clear up a common misconception. Medical hypn= osis has NOTHING to do with staring at the pendulum-like swing of a gold po= cket watch or falling into a suggestive trance. Don't worry, you won't hear= any crap about "you're getting very sleepy".=20

Medical hypnosis is a proven technique endorsed by the American Medical Ass= ociation and the British Medical Association. What=E2=80=99s more, it works= .. I=E2=80=99ve seen people use medical hypnosis to get focused on their die= t and follow it with almost no effort at all.=20=20

Instead of fighting and resisting your diet, you=E2=80=99ll feel good about= what you=E2=80=99re doing and stick with your program without even thinkin= g about it.

If you=E2=80=99re skeptical, I understand. Many people are when they first = hear about this. But I wouldn=E2=80=99t waste your time (or mine) with some= thing that doesn=E2=80=99t work.=20=20

I=E2=80=99ve read many of the studies on medical hypnosis for wt loss and t= he results speak for themselves. In one, researchers split people following= a diet into two groups. One used medical hypnosis, the other didn=E2=80=99= t. The group who used medical hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds. The gr= oup that didn=E2=80=99t lost an average of only 0.5 pounds.

That=E2=80=99s not surprising... Being committed to the program you=E2=80= =99re following makes all the difference =E2=80=93 especially over the long= term. A study from the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology shows= medical hypnosis does just that: Improves your results over the long term.= =20

Their study found adding hypnosis increased wt loss by an average of 97% du= ring treatment. More importantly, medical hypnosis increased effectiveness = AFTER treatment by over 146%.=20

Clearly, this technique is even more effective over time. And as you know, = long-term commitment to any fitness program is the key to lasting fat loss.

The best medical hypnosis program was designed by America=E2=80=99s leading= expert in the field, Dr. Roberta Temes. In fact, she =E2=80=9Cwrote the bo= ok=E2=80=9D on the subject. She=E2=80=99s the editor of the first hypnosis = textbook used in medical schools, Medical Hypnosis. (Psychiatrists in train= ing are learning her techniques for medical hypnosis!)

Dr. Temes is also on the faculty of the Psychiatry Department in the Medica= l School of the SUNY Health Science Center. She=E2=80=99s also involved wit= h research on the behavioral factors involved with long-term wt loss.

Best of all, her program takes only 20 minutes per day and, simply by liste= ning to relaxing CDs, may help you automatically follow your fitness progra= m and regain your health.

This may not work for everyone, but it is something you should consider if = your previous attempts have been unsuccessful because you've resorted to pr= evious BAD HABITS.

Here are some of the experiences you may uncover if you go through Dr. Teme= s seven session program:

> Cravings can be reduced instantaneously, allowing you to stop binging before you start

> New neural pathways will be created that empower you to replace unhealthy eating habits with healthy ones=09=20

> Experience effortless motivation without relying on willpower=20

> Your desire for sodas will be eliminated and replaced with a craving for WATER!

> Pounds will melt away as you automatically eat the right foods and right portions, while making exercise a part of your every day routine.

Keeping an open mind allows you to grow in spirit and successfully overcome= challenges that may have been haunting you your whole life. =20 By special arrangement, Dr. Temes is offering you an exclusive discount on = her medical hypnosis for fat loss program.

P.S. Here are some good representations of the power of this program:

"I have used the program for just 10 days and have lost 6 lbs. What is most= amazing after all my failed attempts at weight loss is the ease of stickin= g with my program since using the CD's! For the first time in my adult life= I feel like I am in control of my response to food, and believe I am incor= porating all those healthy eating habits that have eluded me in the past. I= t feels wonderful to go through the day without obsessing over food, and fe= eling fulfilled rather than deprived. I can definitely see these as lifetim= e, lifestyle changes. Thank you for the wonderful tool!"

Angela Roberts Somerville, New Jersey

"I am now down 20 pounds and still have not had any problems with stress ea= ting (my lifetime habit is to overeat). I am also walking close to 5,000 st= eps per day now (a little over 2.5 miles) and into a size 16 from a 20/22 a= nd people are finally beginning to notice. I personally thank you for your = program even though I don't understand how it works. I am starting to like = who I see in the mirror."

Are your workouts too hard or too weak too long?

Contributed by Mike Geary

I had a chat today with one of my long-time customers about her struggles with her workouts. Here's the basic problems she feels that she has been having...

She feels as though she's "stressed out" all the time about her workouts and if/when she's going to do them, and if she's doing them with enough intensity or actually overtraining.

Well, she did something for the past week that she hasn't done in a long time... she took the entire week off from all exercise. The interesting thing that she found was that she actually felt better overall, felt less stressed with not having to try to fit her workouts in, and also had a lot of aches and pains go away.

Right away this screams out to me that she was a classic case of overtraining.

So now she's confused as to whether she should keep working out at all or possibly just try to workout with less intensity.

Here was my response to her:

First of all, you definitely should take "off weeks" every couple of months. I do that all the time, although for me, I usually like to make it coincide with some sort of vacation.

When I do it, I usually do about 10 days with no weight training at all. If I get any exercise at all, it's just recreational activities or sports. This really helps not only your body to recover, but also gives your mind a break from intense training.

Also, it sounds like one of your problems is that you're "stressing out" about getting your workouts in. I think that's the wrong mindset, and you should actually be looking forward to your workouts instead. So maybe start thinking about how you can actually look forward to enjoying your workouts instead of stressing out about them or dreading them.

Like I've mentioned before, I actually can't wait to do my workouts I'm so excited about them sometimes. Sounds weird I know, but that's the mindset I have about it.

I love "mixing it up" and it really keeps it interesting... sometimes I like just doing standard weight training routines, sometimes doing all kettlebells, sometimes doing all bodyweight exercises, sometimes doing all outdoor workouts, sometimes doing circuits, sometimes powerlifting, sometimes bodybuilding style training, etc, etc, etc.

There's just so many different ways to train, it certainly never needs to be boring.

Anyway, back to your original question... it sounds like your layoff was much needed since you're feeling better during your week off. However, that doesn't mean that your entire life should be a layoff. You still are going to want to do intense workouts a portion of the time and resistance training should still be a regular part of your routines since it is so important for overall health, strength, and maintaining low body fat levels.

It just sounds like your body and mind needed a break and you might have been a little overtrained.

Also, make sure that you're varying or cycling the intensity of your workouts on a regular basis. Always trying to train at the highest intensity levels is a sure-fire way to overtrain and also make yourself dread the workouts.

I like to think of a cycle (such as a 6 week cycle) as a gradual building of intensity with a "peaking" of intensity towards the end of a cycle... And then within each week should be days that are higher and lower intensity too so that you're not burning out the nervous system.

I'd definitely recommend keeping the resistance training in your workouts on a regular basis, but just find ways to use variety to keep things interesting, and also use different intensity levels regularly, as well as scheduled off-weeks about every 2-3 months for total recovery. I think that's your winning combo. ============

I think the take away from today's topic is to take a look at how hard you've been training and decide if it's time to step things up a notch or perhaps back off and take a week to 10 days off if you think you've been overtraining.

No doubt that after your time off, you'll have a nice refreshed body as well as a renewed enthusiasm for your workouts. Works every time!

Here's another article of mine on a unique style of workout you've probably never thought of (and it's quite a time saver too!):
