Dear Friend,
This is a letter from your ol' pal, belly fat. We had a great run this summer, didn't we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol' sitting around eating too much.
Well, I'm thinking about sticking around another year if you don't mind. But you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here.
So do me a favor, avoid that interval training you were thinking of doing. The last time you did that stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, "Help me, I'm melting!"?
Instead, stick to that slow cardio stuff. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol' brain up there thinks it's doing "a real fat burning workout", but it's never enough to melt me outta here.
Another thing, keep listening to those experts who say strength training doesn't burn body fat. Since research shows they're wrong, if you added strength training to your program, you'd practically need to throw me a going away party!
After each one of those superset workouts you tried last January it felt like someone lit a match under our collective butt. I was burning up down here!
But boy oh boy, I sure was glad you gave that up and went back to just lifting utensils and not dumbells. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to celebrate another summer together this year.
Sometimes I wonder, what did you ever do in college without me, your trusted belly fat? Back then, you were probably one of those people that couldn't wait to get to the beach to show off your body, not like these days.
Nope, stay in the shade and keep the cover-up clothes on, that's the way to go now. Besides, its a lot closer to the cold beer and the BBQ when you're sitting in the shade avoiding all the fun down on the beach.
Well, it sure was good catching up with you. I'm sure we'll be in touch more often, as long as you stay away from that Turbulence Training workout routine.
Brings a tear to my eye whenever I even think about that workout program and all the belly fat it's burned. Heck, it's fried more belly fat than a frying pan!
So again, if you want to keep your dear old belly around for another year and another summer, don't use TurbulenceTraining - otherwise, its all over pal, and you'll never see me again.
Belly Fat says, "Don't use this"

Your friend and spare tire,
Belly Fat
PS - Seriously, don't go near that Turbulence Training program unless you want to see me, Thunder Thighs, Manboobs, Jigg Lee Arm Fat, and Luv Handles pack our bags and hit the highway.
It will be a sad farewell, and you'd be stuck with ripped abs, gorgeous glutes, and toned arms, and you know how much attention those guys get from the opposite sex. Who needs it, I say.

Sensai Skincare Saho
The initial SESAI skincare method is based on the hypothesis of twice sanitisation, twice moisturising and twice application. This theory has its roots in the Japanese tea ceremony where in order to craft a genuinely great bowl of tea, there exosts an elaborate setting of rules, called Saho. These rules steer one's events from being to end-from the groundwork and correctness in the tea room to admiring the utensils. SENSAI, in its pursuit of beautiful skin employs the same type of gentle and thoughtful method. This is two times sanitisation, dual moisturising and two times application. Not merely does this method make use of the newest technologyto maximise the skin's self-protective and regenerative powers, but it additionally works on an inner level. Parallel to the Saho of Japanese tea ceremony, the SENSAI course calms the spirit at the same occasion it sharpens the senses.
Twice Cleansing:
In order to completely purify the skin of all makeup and impurities,the skin is cleansed twice:
To begin with using a cleanser and followed by after using a soap.
Twice Moisturising:
Moisturising is too performed twice on cleansed skin:
Once utilising a lotion and once utilising
An emulsion and / or cream.
Twice Application:
In favor of enhancing the effect of lotion and emulsion,
Massaging in circular action to facilitate dispersion,
Followed by pressing to ensure complete absorption.

Energy Drink Phenomenon
Can Energy Drinks Actually Improve Your Strength, Endurance, and Energy Levels... Or is it All in Your Mind?
Plus an important lesson on how to help your mind control your exercise and diet results
Check out this article by Mike Geary, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist
You may have noticed from a lot of my ezine issues that I speak a lot about the power of your mind and how this controls the results you get in your body.
This is yet another example of the power of the placebo effect, and probably the only reason anybody gets any results whatsoever from typical supplements (I'm talking more about bogus fat burner supplements rather than legitimate whole food supplements).
I recently read about an interesting study regarding Energy Drinks and whether they actually give any results (sorry, I don't have the exact citation or the exact numbers involved), but here was the general details of the study...
The researchers split the group into 2 large groups of people. The first group they gave one of these typical "energy drinks" that you see everywhere (which I've mentioned before are a complete waste).
Now here's the important part... the researchers specifically told this 1st group of people that the energy drink they were receiving would increase their strength and endurance levels and increase their energy output.
The 2nd group received the exact same "energy drink" but was not told what the drink was, so nothing was said about it improving anything. For all these people knew, they were just being given a drink because they were thirsty. They were not told that this drink was an "energy drink".
The very interesting results:
The 1st group, which was told that the energy drink would improve their strength and endurance, actually DID increase their strength outputs and endurance tests.
However, the 2nd group, which received the EXACT SAME "energy drink" was NOT TOLD that it would help anything, and therefore, they showed no measurable signs of improvement on any of the tests!
Wow... yet another powerful example of how it's ALL IN YOUR MIND!
Energy drinks don't really help with anything, but if you strongly believe in your mind that something you are doing will improve your results, it really can help your results. This is the placebo effect at its best!
One way that this phenomenon can be applied to your nutrition and workouts:
1. When you're performing certain exercises, you need to really strongly BELIEVE IN YOUR MIND that those exercises are transforming your body... in return, that strong belief will improve your results in the gym MUCH more than just mindlessly going through the exercises.
2. When you are eating healthy food, you need to really strongly believe and think about how much that food is making you leaner, stronger, and giving you more energy. If you believe strongly how much that food is helping you, it WILL help you much more than if you didn't think about what you were eating positively.
This is very powerful stuff! Your brain CAN really control your fitness results or lack of results.
If you want to learn another super-powerful technique to make your MIND WORK FOR YOU in getting you the exact body that you want...make sure to read this article I posted on my blog a few weeks ago...this is a secret that many have used to finally see success with their fitness results and weight loss:
