I'm currently on holiday on the magical West coast of Ireland, with lots of surfing, mountain biking, windsurfing and fishing - my
Magic Hundred goal of catching a fish to eat was achieved the other night so happy about that!
I'm having a well earned break from Kettlebell training, but getting lots of Yoga in which is good. I hope those of you who have bought my
KettleBelleBody Programme are enjoying it and getting lots of kettlebell action in, and I'll be joining you as soon as I get back - despite the yoga and all the other activities out here I am really looking forward to getting back on it with the kettlebells, nothing hits your butt in quite the same way and after 2 weeks away from them I can feel the difference already!
If you want to check it out, visit
www.kettlebellebody.com. It's been getting some great reviews and the price is soon to skyrocket, so it's worth getting in there quick!
Anyway, to keep you entertained in my absence I'm handing over to my buddy in Oz, Daniel Munday. He's just launched a fantastic programme designed specifically for the busy professional. I've interviewed him about the
AUSSIE FATBLAST system for you here. There are some really unique twists, such as his 'Pulse' Cardio programme, 'Blowtorch' workouts and a whole book of amazing recipes - all do-able in under 13.5 minutes, incredibly!
His nutrition approach matches mine - he has completely re-written the food pyramid in his manual, which I wholeheartedly agree with but have chickened out of doing myself for fear of backlash! But that's Dan for you, in typical Oz style he says it like it is, cuts straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush!
Caroline: What is the Aussie Fatblast Success System and why is it different to every other fat loss product on the market today?
Daniel: The Aussie Fatblast Success System is the fat loss solution for the busy professional. I truly believe that it is different to everything else out there today first of all because it is designed around the realisation that people are so busy these days and not many people that I know of, myself included, have the time to train the traditional one hour training sessions anymore.
The Aussie Fatblast way is to give you your fat loss results in 20 minutes a day or less when done six days a week or in 40 minutes or less when done only 3 days a week.
Secondly, I call it a Success System because you will get the complete solution. Fat loss is more than just following the right training program. I address the mental side of things, with a great bonus call with a bloke who is known as the Maniac Mental Skills Coach as well as having one of the world's foremost motivational speakers Chris Widener contributing a great mp3 as well.
I also really get to the bottom of many nutrition myths and why most people just are not getting the results that want because of the misinformation that everyone is force fed these days.
Caroline: What type of nutrition myths are you talking about?
Daniel: First of all, I believe that everything most dieticians and fitness pros teach about nutrition is so far off the mark it is just not funny. We are told to eat low fat, or even worse, fat free foods which are full of so much artificial sweeteners and sugars that it is just not funny.
I also recommend that people try and eliminate as much gluten and wheat out of your diet as possible. This basically means everything that is processed. If people eliminate these foods from their diet, I will guarantee that you see changes within days. You will no longer look bloated and you will be well on your way to achieving the fat loss results that you deserve. And yes, you can still eat those foods as a cheat meal 4 times a week max.
In fact I have redesigned the food pyramid and it looks a lot different to the one that we know at present. That alone should be worth checking out the Secret Guide to Smart Eating.
Caroline: You've mentioned on your site that you've got a few secrets that can instantly relieve lower back pain in people, can you give us any insider secrets?
Daniel: Normally I'd keep these secrets for the people who invest in the system, but I can tell you they are both pretty simple tips. People need to be conscious of activating the muscles that are deep down in their midsection. Once they do this which is as simple as sucking in your belly button your back pain will ease.
Simply have a cue for doing it. Whenever your phone rings, suck in your belly. When you get an email, likewise. When you stop at a red light, suck in your belly. Make it something that happens all the time throughout your day so you get into the habit really quick.
The second tip is applicable for guys that sounds so simple that it almost sounds ridiculous, but is really spot on the money. I might keep that one under my hat for now though if that's alright?
Caroline: Sure is, I'll move swiftly on.... What 3 tips can you give to people who don't have time to exercise?
Daniel:1) You always have time no matter how many hours a day you work. It's a cliché but it's true. It comes down to properly managing your time. So first of all, this is a non exercise tip but reduce the amount of time you spend on email each day. This will more than likely save you a heap of time. Simply block out time in the day to check emails and stick to that period only. The world won't stop if you don't reply back to your facebook messages straight away.
2) Pick the 'big bang' exercises such as Swings, Squats, Deadlifts, Recline Rows or Chin Ups, Push Ups and other multi-joint exercises. Because we are only exercising for a small amount of time you need to pick exercises that will get your heart rate up and use as many muscles as you can with each exercise. Some of my most productive workouts have only taken 6 minutes (which you will have access to in the Optimise Blowtorch Sessions bonus manual).
3) Make an appointment in your diary just like you would a meeting with your boss or important client. Exercise has to have the same priority as everything else. Once that time is in your diary it cannot be moved barring a family emergency.
Caroline: What about cooking healthy meals? Can busy people realistically cook meals in 13 ½ minutes or less as your bonus manual suggests?
Daniel: For sure Caroline. When I cook, I need the meals to be quick. If I come home from a long day training people outdoors in the hot sun I don't want to be slaving away for ages. I want to eat healthy foods that have minimal human interference meaning that they don't have a list of ingredients as long as your arm.
So I played around in the kitchen a bit and timed how long it took me to make a few different meals. The ones that are the quick ones are the ones that made this book.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen (well sometimes I might use some of the same words if I burn myself!) but it is really simple steps and meal suggestions that anyone can easily follow.
From simple things like a great tasting mixed bean and vege omelette that takes 6 around minutes to breakfast options that ensure you can get a fast, healthy feed in the morning to a post workout meal and even my personal favourite banana paddle pop dessert. In fact, people have told me that I should've included more of these so I might have to make part 2 as well!
Caroline: You, like me, are also not a fan of the traditional crunches and sit ups are you?
Daniel: No. I've really stayed away from those types of exercises lately. I started doing a bit of homework and have realised just how bad they are for our backs. Basically, every time you crunch you are placing a crazy amount of stress on your lower back as you compress your spine. Times that by the amount of reps that you do them for and is it any wonder why people are getting bad backs from training?
The other thing that got me off them was that all of my clients are busy professionals who sit down at their desk or in a car all day. That, as we already know, places a huge amount of stress on people's lower backs just from sitting down at a desk that isn't always set up correctly. So I don't want to place any more stress on their already fragile backs.
The final nail in the coffin was that they are useless for burning fat. There are so many better ways to hit your abs. as I answer this question, my abs are still hurting from a tough round of decline push ups that I did 5 days ago!
