Get a ripped body in 90 days!

Do you often feel frustrated and unmotivated as you have spent weeks and even months at a gym and the results are minimal? If the answer is yes, then you are not alone. Hear we share with you the secrets to achieving a more tone body within 90 day.

Firstly, you need to constantly add to or change your workout. Most people I know often do the same exercise routine each week your body is an amazing machine, it will adapt to the different conditions so the exercise routine that you thought was well thought out will soon become less effective.

The formula to any successful gym workout is mixing up the routine or increasing the amount of time on each exercise. You should try to build on your exercise routine weekly and constantly challenge your body by adding more difficult exercises. For example if you do weights you should try in increase the weight size in small increments to help you build muscles.

Secondly, you need to find a workout routine that suits you. These days you can find so many varieties of workout online so its not hard to find one that suits you. Don't forget to add or take out certain routines that you like/ dislike to make it more personalized. There are no hard rules about what a workout should look like. The one we would recommend is the P90X. The P90X is specifically designed to provide you with the maximum and most efficient way to getting that chiseled out chest, abs and defined arms.

The 90 day system uses an advance technique called "Muscle Confusion". This is a technique that involves mixing up your training to prevent your muscles adapting and this causes the exercise to be less effective. The P90X is not just a workout; it also provides you with a detail plan, 12 sweat-inducing workout sessions and nutrition guide.

The P90X is definitely for the intermediate to advance audience. If you are a beginner or have never exercised at all we would recommend you start slow on the program, listen to your body it will tell you when it has had enough.

Finally, don't forget that you need to have a balance diet. To build muscles dietitians suggest that you should eat 30% proteins, 50% carbohydrates and 20% fats of the daily nutrients. The protein intake is the most important part to building muscles. You should eat 1/2 gram of protein per one kilogram of the body weight every day. Don't forget that you need keep your body well hydrated with water throughout the day as well. We would suggest anything between 6-8 tall glasses of water a day is sufficient.

Ab Flyer System Review

The Ab Flyer System is the latest abdominal exercise machine that is currently been advertised on television.

Similar to other abdominal exercise machine infomercial you see on television the Ab Flyer claims to be the fastest way of getting abs without even considering the persons current condition and lifestyle. Typical sales and marketing pitch!

Again I like to emphasize to get abs you need to include a healthy lifestyle and include a cardio and weight training to remove any excess body weight around the body. (See my previous post How to get a six pack?)

The Ab Flyer System works similar to a hanging leg raise from a sitting position. Instead of having your arms supporting your weight there is a seat in which you can kneel and swing up like a hanging leg raise.

If you have ever done hanging leg raises you know what I mean about feeling a lot of pressure on the shoulders and you require some upper body strength to do a leg raise, this where I see Ab Flyer been beneficial as it allows you to do the exercise without these requirements.

In my opinion hanging leg raises are probably one of the best abdominal exercise to do versus doing simple crunches. As hanging leg raises works your entire mid section and even your lats. It will work your top, mid and lower sections and help increase upper body strength. The Ab Flyer system does the same but not too much on the upper body areas like your shoulders and chest areas.

See the You Tube video of what Hanging Leg Raises look like.



To vary your training, the machine have little nobs on it which you can adjust to add or reduce the resistance levels. In addition, the knee pad/seat allows you to change the angle of your raises to work out your oblique muscles.

However a warning please check with the vendors on how much weight it can support. Looking on their website there are two available products the Ab Flyer and the Ab Flyer Pro. The Ab Flyer Pro can support a weight of 350 lbs this suggests to me that "Original" Ab Flyer may only support a certain amount of weight.

The Ab Flyer System currently advertise a price of around $215.00 excluding shipping. For more reviews please visit latest reviews at Ab Flyer System at Infomercial Review

Everyone has a six pack however it lies under layers of fat. To lose this layer you have to exercise and the best form of exercise is cardio exercises including running, swimming, cycling and aerobics.

To get the muscle defiHow to get a six packnition (the six packs) you need to build muscles either through weight training, traditional ab exercises or using ab exercise machines.

Traditionally, the way to build your core muscles are through exercises like sit ups, crunches, leg lifts and push ups. However often aches, pains and injuries that come with these exercises are the back and neck.

Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program

I first reviewed the Nutrisystem about 3-4 years ago and I thought it was just another meal plan program. Over at Infomercial Review it has received little reviews so I thought I have another look at it to see what the Nutrisystem is all about.

Some background information:

The Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program sometimes misspelt as Nutisystem or Nutrisytem is a weight loss meal plan program. Currently endorsed by Belinda Carlise. The Nutrisystem on their websites claims to have over 35 years experience with weight loss and diets, however only in recent times (1999) did they start pushing the Nutrisystem brand.

The diet is based on the Glycemic Index of Carbohydrates. The Glycemic Index measures the time and speed of glucose that is released into the blood stream. You probably already heard about High GI and Low GI foods. Nutrisystem is based on the Low GI foods as it releases glucose slowly into your bloodstream which can help sustain energy levels longer and reduce hunger urges.

In the past other celebrities who have endorsed the Nutrisystem include the likes of Dan Marino from the Miami Dolphins, Marie Osmond and Tony Orlando.

What do you get?

The diet plan provides meals for entire day including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even desserts.

What are the meal plans?

The diet plan provides meals for entire day including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even desserts.

Meal plans are divided into men and women, which is further broken into 4 categories, basic, silver, diabetic and vegtarian.

The Diabetic and Vegetarian meals plans are self explanatory, the Basic and Silver plans are basically different meals plan for a different age group.

How much does it cost?

The Nutrisystem currently sells their program for around $350 USD which is currently only available in the United States and Canada.
