A workout technique for crazy results in only 7 minutes per day

I just finished reading a great new book written by my good friend and world-renowned fitness/nutrition expert Jon Benson. It's called "7 Minute Muscle" - http://7MinuteMuscleProgram.com

I have to say that I was shocked with how unique Jon's new fitness program is.

First of all, being the exercise junky that I am, I've read just about every workout program in existance over the last 20 years or so (and tried most of them too). I've tried everything from standard rep/set schemes to near-max 1RM training, German volume training, the 5x5 method, Single-Set training, pure powerlifting programs, high volume "pump" bodybuilding training, various forms of "density" training, 20-rep methods, etc, etc.

The cool thing is that Jon has come up with a method of training that is uniquely different from most of these methods.

He actually combined research he did from well over 100 books and dozens of research journal studies on almost every method of training possible to formulate what he feels is one of the best ways to build lean sexy muscle throughout your body in as little time commitment as possible.

In fact, he developed these workouts to give you maximum results in as little as 7 minutes/day.

Of course, depending on your level of fitness and your goals, these programs can actually be modified to 14 minutes or 21 minutes.

Either way, this unique style of workout can save you a LOT OF TIME compared with a typical 60 or 90 minute workout programs that many people do 3 - 4 or more times per week.

Jon goes over everything you need to know in this program, including:
  • The optimal set and rep schemes to build lean muscle and burn fat in as little as 7-minute workouts
  • The truth about HIT training
  • Resistance variation in your workouts
  • The best types of training to keep your joints stronger with less risk of injury
  • How to modify the routines to continuously avoid boredom in your workouts
  • Why the 7MM programs can actually help you to sleep better
  • How to decrease your stress hormones and increase your fat burning & muscle building hormones
  • A specific training technique found in studies that you can do after each set that increases growth hormone (one of the most important fat burning and muscle building hormones in your body) above and beyond the way most people do a weight training set
  • One of the problems with "training to failure"
  • and dozens more secrets about training in the most effective and time-efficient manner possible

However, here's what really blew me away about Jon's 7 Minute Muscle Program...

He goes WAY BEYOND WORKOUTS, and delves into some incredible material about how our brains are actually affecting our workout results... and some secrets you can use to train your mind in a manner that will give you 10x better results than you've ever experienced before.

Remember in last week's newsletter how I mentioned that I recently discovered that the reason I have no problem avoiding junk food and always eating healthy has more to do with what's going on in my mind rather than just simple willpower or discipline...

Well, in addition to nutrition, your mind is also controlling how much you enjoy exercise and the results you get from your workouts.

This was actually a really fascinating portion of the program and what I feel to be the most important part. If you've struggled to get results no matter what exercise program you try, this may be the missing link for you. This goes way beyond just "positive thinking" and "visualization". You'll see what I mean when you read the program.

I'll be back in a couple days with more training, nutrition, and mindset tips for a leaner, healthier body.

Til then,
Don't be lazy... be lean.
