FINAL NOTICE
3 Untapped Fat-Burning Strategies
You work out hard and you want it to show. But you won’t get the look you’re after if your hard work is hidden under a layer of fat.
You need all the tricks you can get your hands on to burn fat, and you want to do it quickly and efficiently. After all, who has hours to spend on the endless drudgery of a treadmill?
Are you gonna bury those washboard abs under a layer of pudge? Or will you tap into these three fat burning secret weapons? This is the stuff those really ripped guys at the gym have figured out and aren’t telling you, cause they don’t want you showing them up!
By the way, I “stole” these three tips from the TACFIT Commando program developed by my friend Scott Sonnon. He released an updated version of the program yesterday and is offering 51% off the product until tomorrow!

Untapped Fat Burning Tip #1:
Exploit the “EPOC” effect with high intensity interval circuits
Contrary to what mainstream fitness has been saying for decades, long slow distance running is not the most direct route to fat loss. It’s true that moderate intensity, steady state exercise uses primarily fat oxidation as fuel, but that isn’t the total picture.
In a study done to compare the fat burning benefits of traditional “cardio” training and high intensity intervals, two groups were assigned different training regimens. Group A performed the regular moderate intensity cardio regime (ex. jogging or bicycling) for 20 weeks, and Group B performed a high intensity interval training routine for 15 weeks. Group B lost nine times more fat than Group A — and in 5 weeks less!
Why are high intensity intervals so much more effective?
Interval circuits place such an intense demand on the system that it takes your body up to 36 hours to work its way back to homeostasis (a normal state). That means you’ll incinerate calories for hours after you finish training, even if you’re just lying on the sofa. That aftershock of fat burning potential is called Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC).
Plus, high intensity interval training is fast! That means you no longer have to spend 30 minutes to an hour jogging your life away on a treadmill. You can spend more time pumping iron instead.

Untapped Fat Burning Tip #2:
Build muscle to burn fat.
We’ve known for years that muscle tissue is highly active metabolically, and it helps us burn more calories during the day. So more muscle equals better fat burn, right? Unfortunately that’s only partly true — and not to the extent we once believed. A pound of muscle is now thought to burn an extra 6 calories per hour (as opposed to the 25 or more per hour we once believed). You’d have to pack on an awful lot of beef to make much difference.
But that’s only one side of the equation. Muscle mass provides a number of other important benefits, foremost of which is better management of insulin. Insulin is your “storage” hormone. Its job is to transport fuel into your cells. The higher your ratio of fat to lean tissue, the less sensitive your lean tissue becomes to insulin. Basically, when your body fat percentage creeps too high and insulin comes knocking, your lean mass stops answering the door. If you see a vicious cycle in all of this, you’re right!
One way to encourage your muscles to start answering the door again is through resistance exercise aimed at growth. Why is it important to improve insulin sensitivity? Well, if your muscles don’t answer the door, guess who will… Yep, your fat cells are always ready with a warm welcome.
To top it all off, long slow cardio can actually cause you to LOSE muscle because it increases your level of cortisol. If you focus instead on short bursts of high intensity effort using exercises that target the entire body in all its ranges of motion, you can actually BUILD muscle while you do your cardio! Fat burning just got easier, and a lot more fun.

Untapped Fat Burning Tip #3:
Use lactic acid to spike growth hormone
That burn you feel in your muscles when you’re in the middle of a workout is caused by the buildup of lactic acid. It’s the “misery” that keeps non-exercisers from working out, and it’s the rite of passage hardcore trainers push for simply as a matter of masochism.
But there’s much more to it than that. The lactic acid burn is also your body’s trigger to start the secretion process for human growth hormone. And growth hormone acts to build lean mass AND reduce fat.
A 2006 study from Brazil which measured four different repetition protocols determined that what they called Functional Isometrics was the most potent metabolic stimulator. Hold a static position under enough of a load and you’ll feel the burn… That same burn is what you should shoot for in your cardio training if you want to tap that GH release and send your fat metabolism into overdrive.
It’s not a magic bullet, but it does play a powerful role in your quest to shred your physique. Sounds like a good deal!

But I’ll tell you about that in a minute. First… I hope you had a chance last week to download the TACFIT “Challenge” workout. I still can’t believe they were giving it away! Scott told me over 21,949 people took them up on it in only 3 days! I’ve never seen that kind of response to a new workout product. If you’re one of the thousands who tried the free Challenge workout, you know this is the real deal. Well let me tell you, I also tried some of the exercises from the full TACFIT Commando program and I was completely floored. I did the entire session right here in my back yard. I didn’t need equipment, so I didn’t waste time with setup. Just straight to work and done in 30 minutes. Work out right in your own back yard —> http://tinyurl.com/386cm3c And you know what? I was totally smoked! I never imagined 30 minutes could be so tough. But strangely enough, I had more energy at the end of the session than I did going in. It felt like I was walking on air for the rest of the day. The exercises were also seriously cool. It’ll be a while before I can even think about attempting the most advanced variations, but the basic versions were accessible. They challenged me, but I could do them. And I can see how it’s possible to build up to the highest levels—and have a lot of fun getting there! It’s no surprise that all these tactical teams trust Scott to prepare them for the dangerous work they do. And it’s so amazing that he’s making that same technology available to everyone.

CLASSIFIED... F.REE "Spec Ops" Challenge Workout
TOP SECRET - For Your Eyes Only!
I'm almost reluctant to hit send on this email. I feel like I'm giving away my new secret weapon. But hey, you guys are my allies, right? You'd never use it against me...
Before I give away the goods, I have to give you a full briefing.
It's summer, and that means two things. First off, I freaking hate being stuck indoors. I want to train outside in the sun, but that training's still gotta kick my ass - going for a run won't cut it. Second, I end up traveling a lot for work and pleasure. If I'm gonna fall off the exercise wagon, it's during those family vacations.
It's easy to hide in the gym all winter, but summer gets me worried. I work hard for this hot high performance body and I want to keep it that way -- even at the cottage!
I wanted the best of both worlds this summer, so I called a couple buddies who specialize in some very cool bodyweight exercises.
When I say "cool," I mean COOL. These guys do the kinda party tricks that blow people's minds and win free drinks. But the amazing thing is, their stuff's completely doable if you follow their step-by-step approach.
Anyhow, my buddies turned me on to a workout called the Israeli Special Forces TACFIT Challenge. Man did it kick my butt... But man was I happy! I'd found the perfect workout to keep packing on muscle and melting off fat over the summer months -- without equipment.
I was excited and I wanted to take some friends through a session, but I didn't think they'd make it. I mentioned this to Scott, the creator of the program, and he sent me a slightly easier "Recruit" version.
Perfect!
My buddies jumped right in and had a great -- and challenging -- workout. We all trained together, even though we have wildly different levels of fitness. And we all got our butts whipped (in a good way).
=========================
Scott Said You Could Use It Too! Israeli Special Forces TACFIT Challenge
=========================
I asked Scott if he'd be willing to share the same program with you. He's a great guy, and he was more than happy to oblige. He loves sharing this stuff with anyone who's willing to step up and go all-out. And the thing about Scott is, he really lives his passion.
You see, the "challenge" is based on the work he's doing with law enforcement and special operations units around the world. His eyes totally lit up when he told me about the real life spies and secret agents he gets to train.
And to be honest, I was damned jealous. Talk about a boyhood dream come true -- to travel the world and train honest to goodness G.I. Joes and Janes!!
Anyhow, you've gotta try this workout. Head over to the link below right now. Scott's only leaving this F.REE download opportunity up for three days. It's "top secret" after all. And believe me, you don't want to miss it.
=> Israeli Special Forces TACFIT Challenge
I can't wait for you to experience this workout for yourself. It'll totally change your outlook on training. You may still want to hit the gym regularly -- but when you can't, you won't feel guilty because you'll know your "backup" plan is every bit as effective as plan A.
Enjoy!
Todd
PS-Don't forget the F.REE download is only available for a couple days. Make sure you head over now.
