Why the 7-Day Metabolism Fix Works

I used to think that short-burst workouts were ridiculous. However, I

felt the same about intermittent fasting, and now I practice it myself.

So, we learn.

Lets cut to the chase. Check out this study:

A study from the Buck Institute for Age Research observed the profile
in tissue of older participants.

The results after just 6 weeks revealed a dramatic increase in

strength as well as a significant reversal in gene expression profiles.

In fact, their profiles went back to levels that were VERY CLOSE to
those of younger adults.

The doctors revealed that the participants using this short-burst

training can take off up to 45 years of aging.

Now imagine looking and feeling just as good if not better than you
did in your 20s, even as you enter your 30s, 40s, 50s and even your
60s

all because you did LESS.

And thats not all

Canadian researchers at Queens University tested a workout using

this sequence approach with ZERO equipment compared to regular
cardio

22 women did 4 workouts per week for 4 weeks in one of three

groups.

Group A did 30 minutes of treadmill running at 85% max heart rate

Group B did 8 rounds of 20 seconds of a single bodyweight exercise
with 10 seconds of rest between rounds.

Group C did nothing (they were the non-training control group)

Results: Both training groups increased their aerobic fitness levels

by the SAME amount (about 7-8%).

Thats right, the short bodyweight sequences (of ONLY 4 minutes)

worked just as well as 30 minutes of cardio!

Pretty cool, right?

But get this

Only Group B, the bodyweight sequence style of training very similar

to the Metabolic Fix System, also INCREASED MUSCULAR
ENDURANCE in common exercises like chest presses, leg
extensions, sit-ups and pushups.

And finally, this intense, but brief training used by Group B also
resulted in great overall enjoyment.

My Big A-Ha Moment
When using these short-burst sequences as well as other unique set
and rep schemes, my clients were getting BETTER and FASTER
results.

On top of this, they were eating more, yet losing fat week after week.

It made perfect sense. I had several clients that went from hours of
cardio to these short-burst sequences and they were busting plateaus
left and right.

But why? <= This is what kept me digging

Heres the deal on cardio

35 overweight men and women exercised 5 times per week for 12

weeks.

Thats a lot of exercise.

The results varied, but the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74
pounds!

More exercise resulted in eating an additional 268 calories, wiping out

your exercise efforts

The scientists think they know where things went sour.

They classified the subjects into two groups called the

Compensators and the Non-Compensators.

The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result, consumed an

extra 268 calories per day, wiping out their exercise efforts.

Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and

scientists believe that was due to the huge compensatory increase
in appetite experienced by this group.

Now, 268 calories may not sound like much. But if you add that up
over a week, thats 1,876 calories.

Over the course of a month, thats 8,308 calories.

So that means you would actually gain OVER 2 pounds of fat every
month. Thats over 24 pounds a year

all thanks to INCREASED exercise.

So this program goes in the completely opposite direction of every

mainstream program out there and thats why it works.

Not only that, but these short-burst sequences boost your growth
hormone, the hormone that aids in your bodys natural ability to burn
fat.

So what Ive done is take these sequences, combined them with

scientifically proven metabolism-boosting tricks into an easy laid-out
format so that anyone, at any age, can take advantage of this
science.

If youre over the age of 30, you need all the help you can get, right?
Thats what this program is all about.

So take advantage of this 1-2-3 punch

1) The bodyweight sequences

2) The metabolism-boosting secrets in one place
3) The best foods to speed up your metabolism

Then enjoy losing fat for a lifetime much easier for the rest of us!
