I’m going to be blunt and honest with you here. If you want to burn fat, discard several pounds, and get into better shape and health, I’ve got some news for you. Looking for a nutrition and workout program that you can follow for life will not do you any good at all. In fact, I believe that the traditional lifestyle approach to fat loss is a bunch of crap. I’ll share my Non-Traditional Lifestyle Approach to fat loss in a moment, but first, here’s why I believe lifestyle plans suck…

For nearly a year now there has been just one audio in my mp3 player that I listen to when I workout. That mp3 is the Optimindzation Attraction Accelerator audio. Without this workout music I simply can not perform my best in the gym. In fact, just the other day I walked into the gym without my mp3 player. I couldn’t believe that I left it at home, but since I was already at the gym I decided to go ahead with my workout. After 5 minutes of warming up I walked out of the gym and drove home to get my mp3 player and the Attraction Accelerator audio.

Seriously! I just could not do my workout without it. Nothing felt the same. I was unfocused, unmotivated, and distracted with everything going on in my surroundings. I was as far away from my training ‘zone’ as I could possibly be.

How I Approach My Workouts

I walk through the gym door with an intense purpose and passion. I know exactly what I’m going to do and I know that I will give everything that I have and more to making this workout the best one that I’ve ever had.

I refuse to just go through the motions.

A couple months ago I mentioned that Angie and I booked a photo shoot for April 2nd to hold ourselves accountable to our fat loss goals and to provide extra motivation to get in the best shape of our lives. We actually did our photo shoot on Friday which was 5 days ahead of schedule and the results are in and the pictures can be found below. You may be wondering how I achieved 6% body fat and how Angie achieved 14% body fat. Well I can’t wait to share our journey with you.

In a recent blog post “Sex and Fat Loss” I mentioned that my relationship with Angie along with our sex life has really improved since we’ve been getting in great shape for our upcoming photo shoot and how I can’t keep my hands off of her. Your responses to that post have been fantastic and some of you even told me not to forget about the calories burned during sex. I took it upon myself to find out how many calories are burned during sex and brought the results to Angie’s attention. Check out her response in the video below…

I’ve always been very attracted to my wife Angie from the moment we met. She’s always been in pretty good shape even after having 2 kids and one of them being a c-section. Since Angie and I scheduled a photo shoot for April 2nd and committed to getting in tip top shape I seriously can not keep my eyes and hands off of her.

When it comes to your health or fat loss goals what kind of effort would it take for you to give your absolute very best? You’ve heard me mention many times that I feel most people don’t demand enough of themselves. Often times it’s because the standards that we set for ourselves are the same low standards that everyone else sets. Why can’t you be different? Why shouldn’t you become the very best that you can be? Sometimes the best approach is just to put up the blinders and drive forward. Here’s an amazing video clip that drives this point home clearly. Prepare to be inspired…

 Top 3 Fat Loss Tips With Tom Venuto: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Fat loss expert Tom Venuto exposed his #1 nutrition, workout, and mindset tips for burning fat in a recent interview that we did together. After hanging up the phone with Tom I was instantly inspired to take immediate action on all three of his powerful tips that will help you get super lean. This is a must listen to interview…

Lean, Green, and Marine is a mantra that I learned from Tom when it comes to his #1 diet tip. It’s totally stuck in my head and influences how I now shop for food and what I choose when I open the fridge. These nutrition tips are absolutely golden.

You’ll also learn what Tom’s favorite fat burning workout is. His answer was so brilliantly crafted that I guarantee it will change your approach to exercise.

You’re also going to learn the difference in mindset that Tom has during the 12 weeks of preparing to get super lean compared to the remainder of the year when he’s just ‘lean’.

His advice on mindset sparked my excitement to hang up the phone and immediately book a photo shoot for Angie and I. Because of his advice I’ve never been so psyched up about my fat loss goals ever before. This is at an entirely new level.

When you are done listening to this incredible fat loss interview I want to hear your feedback.

What were the points that really resonated with you?

What changes are you going to make to your diet, exercise, and mental approach as a result of this interview?

Enjoy the mp3 and have an absolutely amazing day!

My motivation to achieve completely ripped and chiseled abs has skyrocketed beyond anything that I’ve ever experienced before. You may have read a previous post that Angie did, “Make An Appointment For A Photo Shoot!” This is where my deep down, fire in my gut, goal driven desire has come from. The photo shoot is the trigger that’s putting me on the path of fulfilling my destiny. More on that in a minute…

I had heard a few fat loss experts mention how powerful it can be to schedule a photo shoot, but I guess that I brushed it off. Well not this time. Angie and I booked a photo shoot for April 2nd, 2008. We’re doing this together.

I set my goal of achieving 5% body fat. Currently I am 10% body fat as shown in the picture below.

I’m big into setting goals and all the components that go with mindset and I can honestly say that I have never been this psyched about my fat loss goals in all my life.

But it’s not just about the deadline and the accountability. There’s a lot of emotion and powerful reasons behind this photo shoot.

First and foremost Angie and I are role models for our children. We want them to see those pictures of us and say “WOW!”

Second we are role models to many other people. We are your average family but we take our health seriously. We have busy schedules and the typical stresses like everyone else and we want to prove that if we can do it so can you.

Plus we want to demonstrate the power of spousal support.

We are on a mission to reverse the obesity trend by 2015 and help 100,000 people create the vibrant healthy bodies that they deserve, and I am certain that our journey will spark the inspiration to get this movement going.

This is where my destiny comes in and I’m constantly planning it out. It all starts now. By December 31st 2008 it’s my goal to help 1,000 people completely transform their body and health.

This is where you come in. Because you will be one of those 1,000 people who create the body and health that you deserve, you will now be a member of the healthy high achievers behind me. And because of your efforts, success, and becoming a role model yourself, we will then increase in numbers up to 10,000 people who have successfully transformed their body and health by December 31st 2009.

By 2010 the efforts of myself and the 10,000 of you who stood up for yourself and claimed the lives that you deserve our numbers will grow to 100,000 vibrant, lean, and confident individuals who are make up this incredible group that will impact the world and reverse the obesity trend by 2015.

I hope that you’re with me on this. I can really use your help. That’s why I’m recommending that you book a photo shoot for yourself or even team up with a partner as Angie and I have.

Even if you aren’t going to be competing on stage, and even if your goal isn’t 5% body fat. I highly recommend that you schedule a photo shoot and capture the image of your vision of your own perfect body. This could be the motivation that triggers your destiny just as it has for me.

Pay the photographer in advance and prepare to look your absolute best.

Go for it!

I had a great conversation with Tom Venuto last week about music and how the right type of music will trigger a response in your brain which will lead to an intense workout. Music inspires you to take action and put forth your very best efforts during your workout sessions and can totally keep you focused on your fat loss goals. I’ve had some of my very best workouts this week all because of the music I chose to have playing in my headphones during my workouts. It also triggered some pretty amazing experiences as I’m about to share…

Tom and I were first talking about how we approach each workout with purpose and passion. Tom said, “If I just casually walk into the gym without preparing myself mentally… forget it! It just won’t work.” We both agreed that before walking into the gym you’ve got to go through some form of mental ritual or ‘psyching up’ and be prepared to give this workout everything that you’ve got.

I mentioned that I always listen to an audio from the Optimindzation Program which is pure isochronic tones that are meant to boost your energy and power. I Then Listen to the Attraction Accelerator audio during my workout which is high energy music with the isochronic tones in the background. I have those headphones cranked and my focus is intense.

Tom laughed and said, “Nothing works better for me than some Metallica for me.” He listed another rock band or heavy metal group too. The thing to take away from this is that there are certain songs or bands that can stir up a lot of emotion in you and get your adrenaline pumping.

As soon as Tom puts on those headphones a trigger goes off and he’s in the zone. He’s attached the thoughts and feelings of putting forth his best efforts and really pushing himself to the songs that he’s listening to.

There’s a lot of power behind the workout play list that you have on your mp3 player.

I mentioned earlier that I’ve had some pretty awesome experiences this week because of my selection of music that I played in my headphones during my workouts. I’ve pushed myself beyond belief as a result of it.

I still listened to the same audios that I typically do during most of my workouts and those workouts were incredibly intense.

The interesting thing happened when I played rap music and Rage Against The Machine which were all songs that I used to listen to over a decade ago while working out in my parents basement which was unfinished with the cinder blocks showing and my posters of Arnold Schwarzenegger and other bodybuilders on the wall.

It was almost like a dungeon and it was cold in the winter time. But that was the place where I pushed myself to my limits along with my workout partner at the time. These songs completely put me back in those moments and got me completely fired up. It’s like I was detached from this reality during my workouts.

This has been such an incredible experience that I’m going to play around with. I’m going to pull out all my old cd’s that I used to listen to while working out in my parents basement and I’m going to go out and get a poster of Arnold like I had back then.

Music is definitely a powerful tool that you should include in your fat loss arsenal.

I would love to know if there are certain songs that you find really motivate the heck out of you or bring you back to times when you used to push yourself with great intensity during your workouts? How does it make you respond?
