Eddie Baran's Body Sculpting Blog

The questions keep coming regarding my new abs program

http://www.eddiebaran.com/gymnastic_abs.html

Here are some more:

1. Can you spot reduce your belly?

Depends on what you mean by spot reduce. Can you reduce
the size of your gut just by doing ab exercises? Yes, especially
if they are the right exercises. Much of the bulge you see
protruding from your belly can be corrected by strengthening
the abdominal muscles.

Can you reduce the fat off your belly while keeping the fat on
the rest of your body? Not really, but fat is less likely to go to
areas that are exercised. Will Gymnastic Abs reduce fat all over?
Yes, because when a gymnast train his abs he's training his
entire body. There is no isolation in gymnastic conditioning.

That being said, I'd advise you to incorporate Gymnastic Abs
with your other training programs. A Gymnastic Abs workout
only takes from 4-20 minutes, depending on your level. It's
meant as an additional tool in your fitness toolbox. It is not
intended to replace your current total but rather to improve it
and accelerate its results. Your abs will get incredibly stronger
but so will the rest of your body.

2. What's the difference between Gymnastic Abs and the ab
exercises in you Body Sculpting program?

My Body Sculpting program is a generalized program for the
entire body. The gymnast ab program is specifically for the
core and goes into far more detail, has far more ab exericses,
and starts at an easier level but progresses to a very advanced
level. So it's a much more thorough program for your ab muscles,
which are the most important muscles in your body. But as I said
before, it does train your entire body, not only the abs.

3. Is this program for both men and women?

Yes, this program is for both men and women.

4. Is this program for beginners as well as advanced athletes?

Yes, this program starts you off at a very beginner level and
walks you all the way through to the advanced level.

It's pretty simple. Gymnasts have the best abs and I've developed
a program around that.

Wishing you the best,

why this is such an important program for you to have.

In yesterday's email I answered how many minutes my new
abs program http://www.eddiebaran.com/gymnastic_abs.html
takes to do. The answer was that it can take as little as 4
minutes a day to the most effective ab workout you've
ever done; 4 minutes to chisel perfect abs.

Why? Here's why:

1. The exercises are extremely effective in and of themselves.
2. The technique I tell you to do the exercises further increases
their effectiveness.
3. The workouts you do with these exercises and technique
makes this program

So you're getting the most benefit in the shortest amount of
time. It's the entire synergism of these three keys that makes
it works so well.

Another common question I'm asked is how is this program
different from my Body Sculpting program.

Good question.

While my Body Sculpting program is phenomenal for strengthening
your abs, my Gymnastic Abs program is solely dedicated to
this purpose.

This allows me to delve into much more detail, devoting
the entire course to your most important muscle group. I
introduce an entire system I used to train gymnasts, my
brother and my clients. The exercises in the abs program
run the gamut of very easy to very difficult, showing you
exactly how to progress.

Does this replace my Body Sculpting program?

The answer is No.

Think of it as another tool in your arsenal for chiseling the
perfect abs and building the stongest body.

Wishing you the best,

Since launching my new ab program Gymnastic Abs

http://www.eddiebaran.com/gymnastic_abs.html
I've been
asked many different questions on how it works.

Most of them have to do with how many minutes each
day it takes to do one of the workouts. Is it going to add
another 30 minutes to your workout

Absolutey not.

In fact, in my Gymnastic Abs program I'm going to reveal
a few of my 4-minute ab workouts that I personally do and
you can do as well. Can you get a good ab workout in only
four minutes? You bet. This doesn't mean doing situps or
crunches for 4 minutes straight. If you do the best exercises
in the best way, you will be amazed at what you can do.

This is what I call the Way of the Gymnast: taking something
good and making it work even better for you. When you get
the program I'll show you exactly what I mean.

A gymnast needs to do his conditioning in an efficient manner
so he can spend his time training on his skills. So these exercise
better be quick enough to get done in minutes yet thorough
enough to strengthen his abs, back and entire body.

So now you see why 4 minutes can do wonders for you.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

If I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times. You have
your guy (or gal) who wants to lose the belly. Said man starts
a workout routine, loses the fat, even gains some muscle.

But the problem is that even with this moderate success he's
still has a big gut. And it's not just because that's the last
place that holds onto flab.

The reason that even though he might be trim yet still looks
pregnant, is because he hasn't trained his abs properly. A
big gut is indicative of more than just excess blubber. It
also means that your ab muscles are not strong enough to
hold in your stomach.

But with the correct exercises and routine, you can banish
that beer belly for good.

And while you're doing these exercises, you will get the
strongest set of abs on the planet. Strong abs mean a
healthy body, pain-free back, ease of movement, and you'll
fit into your pants much better.

I have a new abs program you'll want to get. Go here now

and get the program.

Wishing you the best,

P. S. You'll want to hurry up and go there NOW because
I've got a special gift for the first 50 who get the program

Twins keep secrets, it's just the way it is. Some are never told
to others.

But this one I'm going to reveal to you:

My twin brother Andy had been struggling with his belly
blubber for more than a decade. While I opted for bodyweight
exercises, he stuck with weights. And the weight stuck with
him (as in flubber around his middle).

Not only that but he had one of the weakest midsections around.

Why? Because Andy didn't know a thing how to really train
his abs. And neither do most people. He knew his abs were
weak and frail so he asked me to help him, to tell him the
secret to killer abs.

So, I showed him how to get the strongest abs on the planet,
and his results were incredible. So incredible, in fact, that
we decided to create a new ab program together to show
you, i.e to reveal our little secret.

Go here now http://www.eddiebaran.com/gymnastic_abs.html
to read my twin brother's story to see how he transformed himself.

Wishing you the best,

Some people go through a terrible ordeal only to find true
peace and happiness on the other end.

I just got an email from a friend, Stephen, who was working
in Nigeria for a European company. Last month he was abducted
with three other colleagues by Niger Delta militants. He was
held for more than three weeks in a tiny 4x4 meter room.

Stephen was subjected to fairly severe psychological and
emotional torture (including a staged mock execution), butin
the end came out of it walking and talking straight.

Stephen wrote me this:

"It was easily the hardest experience in our lives; I guess
we proved somewhat resilient, as it's not something any
of us trained for in any way: total loss of freedom and self
determination, constant fear of death, etc. In any case I feel
no reason to complain, only profound happiness, and a new
lease on life. The end result might very well be me looking
a lot fitter again coming seminar."

That's pretty amazing, to find profound happiness from a
trauma. Sometimes that's what it takes to realize what
you've truly got.

But you don't need a bad experience to get a new lease on
life or peace. True happiness and peace is everyone's birthright.
People just find it in different ways. Stephen is probably the rare
case in that he seized his trauma as a way to find happiness.
But if you do have a bad run of it, realize there's something
better when you get to the other side.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Maybe you feel like you've lost your health, that it's on
its way out. Thing is you too can have a new lease on your
health and fitness if you start doing the right things for it

Our very own Camille Claudel, the notorious body sculptress
herself, sent me this little ditty in response to my last email
about the weight loss shots:

.-. . .- -.-. .

Eddie,
Looks like they've finally found a solution for the "moderately"
obese:

--- "Nerve-Snipping to Promote Weight Loss - An old ulcer
operation is receiving new attention as a possible alternative
obesity surgery: a quick snip of a nerve that helps control
hunger. It is unclear if cutting the vagus nerve really helps, as
initial pilot studies in a few dozen patients have just begun.
Some remain skeptical and even proponents say it wouldn't lead
to nearly as much weight loss as more traumatic operations that
shrink the stomach. However, it could be a middle-ground option
for people who are not quite fat enough to qualify for drastic
surgical weight loss procedures." (USA Today) ---

Unfortunately, it kinda messes up the transverse colon too.
Actually, I'd never heard the vagus has anything to do with
hunger or perceived hunger. It does a lot of things, but
that's news to me.

I think I'll design a line of high-fashion straightjackets to curb
overeating...
Camille Claudel

Camille,
Thanks for alerting me about this new "breakthrough." Phew,
what a relief. With the weight loss shots and now this surgery,
I think we've just about got it covered. No reason to exercise
or eat right, just opt for these procedures and you're good as
gold. But I like you're straightjacket idea there. It just might
be the ticket.

.-. . .- -.-. .

What will they think of next. Going as far as destroying the
body to lose weight .That's modern science for ya.

Look, it's really quite simple. The only way to lose weight
and get fit for the long term and in a healthy manner, is
exercise and proper eating. There's no two ways about it.

So no matter how many surgeries they come up with, or
pills and potions, or shots, they're barking up the wrong
tree and wasting a lot of time and energy, to boot.

When you do decide to exercise, might as well be the best

your fat down. Body Sculpting Bodyweight Exericses for
