If I had to pick out the number one reason most people fail to achieve good results in the gym, guess what it would be?
Over-training. Exercising too much.
Sounds counter-intuitive, but trust me: It's quite real.
Folks write to me all the time and say...
"Gregg, I don't get it. I cannot lose bodyfat and I'm running six days a week for an hour and training in the gym five days a week for 45 minutes!"
My answer back is usually:
"You are training 4x more than me, and I'm a fitness pro!"
Look, do you take 21 aspirin for a headache, thinking the more you take the faster your pain will go away?
No?
So why apply the same logic to fitness? Only a certain amount is required. Beyond that, you are spinning your wheels.
When my friend, Jon Benson, wrote 7 Minute Muscle he exposed all the lies about training too long and why this is not the best way to achieve the results you want. Check it out if you want the facts.
One more thing: 75% of your progress will come in the kitchen, not in the gym or on the treadmill.
As for me, I would much rather eat smart and train less than train all the time and be forced to eat 6-8 times a day just to recover from it all.
That makes no sense to me at all.
You?
Less Is More!
To Your Physical and Mental Strength,
Gregg

Just wasting time...
I received a shocking email from someone I respect the other day that I want to share with you. (I have permission.)
My friend just came right out and told me the brutal truth: "You're wasting months of your life for nothing."
Pretty scary...and I had no idea what he meant!
So, I kept reading...
"Look, just figure out how many hours you're spending in the gym and doing cardio every week. Multiply that number by 52. Then email me back."
So I did the math. It freaked me out! It was a lot more time than I thought. I was spending literally YEARS of my life in the gym. Let's not even talk about cooking food and eating 6 meals every day. It feels like my workout routine is like a second job sometimes. Can you relate?
Anyway, I emailed him back and here's what he said:
"Okay, take that number down to less than an HOUR a week...tops. How much time have you just added to your life?" The obvious answer: A lot!
By now I was wanting him to give me the answer. If there was a workout program where I could see results in minutes a day versus hours I was all ears.
He said, "Check out my latest book and video series."
Here's the website so you can see it too
The guy I'm talking about is bestselling fitness author Jon Benson. His latest book "7 Minute Muscle" is an absolute jaw-dropper. You owe it to yourself to at least visit his homepage and discover what this is all about.
Jon spent three years researching one simple question: "How can you get the MOST results in the LEAST amount of time?"
Seems like common sense, right? Well it's not. Most people, myself included, are spending FAR more time than necessary to get results.
Even worse --
--- > I learned that all that time in the gym
--- > was keeping me from the body I wanted!
Of course there is more to the story than just "working out less." This is not some gimmick that involves pills or gadgets either. Honestly, it's hard work.
But only 7 minutes of it.
7 minutes. No joke.
After that 7 minutes you feel like your muscles will explode from the pump. You get leaner, stronger, and you do it faster than any other workout I've ever seen. Your energy shoots through the roof to boot.
See for yourself –
I'm sure you'll love "7 Minute Muscle" as much as I do. Even more, you love the months of life you'll get back by train smarter, not longer.
Sincerely,
Gregg Swanson
