John Abdo’s 5 tips for faster fat loss (with ab doer twist)

John Abdo’s 5 tips for faster fat loss

1. THINK LEAN: That’s right. Fat loss and overall health begin inside your mind. What and how you think about yourself, and how you think about food and exercise, often makes a profound difference between a person who is healthy and lean and one who is unhealthy and overweight. When you see a donut do you think you’ll be depriving yourself if you don’t eat it, or do you spontaneously chow it down, oblivious of the consequences? Lean and healthy people are conditioned to think and react in ways that only make contributions to their health, now and well into the future.

2. HEADS UP: I suggest that many fitness enthusiasts, especially during fat-burning sessions, wear a hat when exercising, like a baseball cap or knitted cap. Since numerous thermography, or body heat tests, have proven that heat rises through the top of our heads, especially during exercise, it’s important to contain that heat so you can contain that heat around your body and perspire more. An increase in body temperature (heat) and perspiration will help to accelerate your fat reduction process, while excess fluids will be strained from underneath the skin. As a precaution, if you start to feel over-heated, remove the hat and/or cease your activity and drink some cool-to-cold fluids.

3. COFFEE STACK: If you drink coffee, I suggest that you avoid fat-laden creams and any kind of synthetic sugars or syrups. Try to sweeten your coffee with cinnamon and a tiny amount of Stevia; these serve as sweeteners and nutritional boosters. Also, try to consume an 81-grain aspirin along with 1/4 or 1/2 fresh grapefruit in conjunction with your coffee. This will stimulate thermogenisis, or an increase in body temperature. Always drink your coffee about 20-30 minutes prior to an exercise session to assure that “kick”. [Please check with your physician on this suggestion.]

4. YOU KNEAD YOURSELF: Grab, squeeze and pinch your fat. Yes, actually grab your fat anywhere you wish, or everywhere, and squeeze it, pinch it, knead it as vigorously as you can tolerate. While you’re kneading your fat pretend like you’re trying to break up the fat globules that reside underneath your skin. By doing this, I believe you can start the catabolic, or breakdown, process of cellulite by manually breaking it apart and accelerating the burning process. Of course, this is effective when used in conjunction with a high-level muscle-shaping fat-burning system and eating plan—like with the AB-DOer Twist System™. Be careful that you don’t hurt yourself as getting pinched does not feel that good, even if you’re doing it to yourself.

5. EXERCISE HUNGRY: Do not eat before you exercise. If you exercise in the morning then do so on an empty stomach. Exercising hungry allows your blood sugar levels to be lower than normal so your body is forced to access, then burn, stored fat much sooner in your workout. [Caution: Most people who exercise on an empty stomach may experience light headedness or dizziness. In these cases please consume something to prevent this from happening.]

Back Rub Ab doer twsit exercise

Almost every motion you perform on the AB-DOer Twist you’ll notice a wonderful massaging effect with the massage roller that rubs your upper back muscles. There are plenty of motions that are designed merely for this benefit, back rubbing. One technique is to lean rearward then rock slowly from side-to-side. You can also lean rearward then stagger the rocking action from that rear lean position intentionally pressing the soft foam roller into your back – this feels so good. To triple the benefits, simply affix the Tri-Roller and enjoy a complete back rub!
