an interview by Geovanni Derice with Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

I had the pleasure of being interviewed recently by a fitness
professional from NYC, Certified Personal Trainer, Geovanni Derice. The
interview is below and I think you’re going to like it… I reveal some
of the hardest hitting strategies for getting rid of that stubborn
stomach fat to uncover those flat six pack abs that everyone wants.

“GD: Welcome Mike to our
4-ever-Toned Fitness Journal. For those who do not know you, please
tell us a few things about yourself and how you can help our readers
with their fitness and health.

MG: Thanks for having me,
Geo. Well, to go back a little, I have been heavily involved in fitness
and sports for about 17 years now, ever since I was a teenager. Being
involved in sports in high school got me interested in strength
training and conditioning.

At that point, once I started feeling more energetic, getting
stronger, and looking better, I was instantly hooked for life. I’m 33
now and still addicted to the way living a healthy and fit lifestyle
makes me feel energetic, confident, strong, and youthful on a daily
basis.

I decided earlier in my 20’s that I wanted to make the commitment to
help other people experience the excitement of being fit and getting in
the best shape of their lives, especially since we’ve reached an
epidemic of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, etc.
That’s why I became a fitness professional. It just gives me so much
satisfaction to help others, who have struggled for years to get in
good shape, and show them that it can be done, and it can be fun in the
process.

I’ve expanded over the years from just reaching local individuals
with personal training, into being able to help people all over the
globe achieve their fitness goals with the reach of the internet. I
only hope that my passion for fitness inspires people to take action
and improve how they look and feel for life.

GD: Now Mike, there’s so
many things out there as to what works and what does not work… if you
had to pick 3 things that work time and time again to get flat lean
abs, what would they be?

MG: The first and most
important thing to get control of in order to lose your belly fat and
get flat abs is cleaning up your diet. Exercise is important, but your
diet is king when it comes to losing body fat so that you can see your
abs.

There’s so much confusion these days about what a healthy diet that
promotes fat loss really is… after all, we are bombarded by
conflicting messages in the media about what is healthy and what is
not, and you have all of these gimmicky diet books about low carb, low
fat, high protein, vegetarian, fasting, atkins, south beach, liquid
diets, and hundreds more. There’s so much conflicting info, that the
average consumer doesn’t even know where to start when it comes to
eating for fat loss.

The second thing that works time and time again, is to focus on the
intensity of your workouts and focus on working the body as a whole in
order to get the best metabolic response to lose that stubborn stomach
fat.

In order to really get lean, the workouts should have a high
intensity, with short rest periods, working the largest muscle groups
of the body, instead of trying to isolate specific small muscles like
the biceps, triceps, or calves.

For the third thing, let’s talk about actually training the abs
specifically. When it comes to training the abs, if you want real
results, I always recommend forgetting about the crunches and sit ups
for the most part. They are ok for someone that is really
deconditioned, but most people that already have some training under
their belt need a much better stimulus for their abs than crunches.
Crunches are one of the abs exercises that actually provide the least
amount of resistance, and remember that resistance is what develops and
tones the muscles.

I provide a ton of great abs exercises in my book, but one of THE
highest resistance exercises for the abs, is hanging leg raises (but
NOT the way you see most people at the gym doing them). The key to
doing these and actually working the hell out of your abs is to curl
your pelvis up as you raise your legs. Almost nobody ever does this
right. To be honest, the majority of people cannot do this at first,
but I provide some strategies in my book as to how to progress to doing
these correctly.

GD: What are people doing wrong when it comes to developing the coveted “6 pack abs”?

MG: Well Geo, I know this
sounds funny to most people, but the MAIN thing that people are doing
wrong to get those flat 6-pack abs is… are you ready for this?

They spend entirely too much time focusing on training their abs! WAY too much time spent on abs exercises. Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Remember, having a flat and visible six pack of abs is all about
getting down to a low body fat percentage. In order to do that, your
workouts must focus on stimulating a fat burning hormonal environment
in your body, and increasing your metabolic rate. That just does not
happen when you focus too much time training a small muscle group like
the abs.

Instead, you must use the majority of your time focusing on training
the largest muscle groups of the body like the legs, back, and chest.
That’s what stimulates your metabolism and the fat burning hormones
that will get you truly lean and sporting a flat sixxer!

GD: Which exercises are the top exercises that people need to do if they are to get maximum defintion with their midsection?

MG: When it comes to
developing the abs themselves, I again refer to any kinds of hanging
abs exercises, as well as some good floor abs exercises like lying leg
thrusts (all described and illustrated in my book).

However, maximum definition in the abs and midsection comes from
losing bodyfat, and the most effective exercises featured in my program
for that goal are various forms of swings and snatches (unique dumbbell
or kettlebell
exercises that almost nobody ever does in normal gyms), squats,
deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, clean & presses, mountain climbers,
sprinting, and other full body exercises and calisthenics. If you want
great looking flat abs, focus on those instead of focusing so much on
training the abs directly!

GD: When it comes to diet
Mike, people really have tried millions of ways to get one thing… and
that is fat loss. What recommendations have you used to successfully
help your clients lose body fat and keep it off?

MG: I have included a fully
comprehensive discussion of this topic in my book, which accounts for
almost half of the book, but I’ll try to make some nice simple
generalizations to get people started on the right path immediately.
The most important thing is that your diet is as natural and
unprocessed as possible. It almost always comes back to the
overprocessing of food that makes it unhealthy, and makes it totally
wreck your metabolism and hormone balance in your body.

For example, why eat refined grains, when you can eat whole grains
(even better are sprouted grains, as I usually recommend limiting grain
foods overall for best results).

Why eat refined sugar, when you can get natural sources of sugar
from a high nutrient whole food like fruit. Why eat highly processed,
refined, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (these are THE worst thing in
the modern diet), when you can eat natural sources of healthy fats like
nuts, avocados, fish, eggs, coconut milk, organically raised meat, and
so forth.

The point is to not fall for some gimmick like extremely low carbs
(although I do believe in a fairly reduced carb intake as that is a big
problem for most people), low fat, super high protein, or any other
combination that has you focusing on one macronutrient vs. another.

Your body needs all macronutrients to thrive and obtain a variety of
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Trying to cut an entire food
group out just works against what your body needs. I get into much more
detail on this vitally important topic towards losing body fat
(especially that stubborn stomach fat) for life in my book.

GD: Thank you very much Mike for sharing with us all of this great information.

Well,
I hope you enjoyed this interview and plucked several nuggets of info
to get you motivated and started on showing off your flat abs shortly.
If you don’t already own a copy, be sure to pick up a copy of my Truth about Six Pack Abs book and discover the entire system I’ve developed for ridding yourself of that extra ab fat for good!

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is the #1
best
selling diet and fitness ebook in the history of the Internet. In fact,
it’s one of the best selling e-books on ANY subject in the history of
the Internet -… And there’s a reason why…

It’s because thousands of women and men
of every
age are
burning off BODY FAT – not muscle or water weight – and they’re doing
it naturally, without supplements, pills or “magic potions,” simply by
using the proven, scientifically-accurate and common-sense advice found
inside this amazing diet and fitness guidebook.

Tom Venuto, a respected fat loss
expert, natural
bodybuilder, and personal trainer, has not just pumped out yet another
“diet program” into an already over-saturated market. Tom’s Burn the
Fat can be more accurately described as a “Fat Loss Bible.” It is quite
simply one of the most complete, detailed, and precise guides to fat
loss you will ever read. What makes it so much different than other
weight loss publications on the market?

Well first of all, it’s not a “weight
loss”
program, it’s a “fat” loss program. This may seem like semantics or
wordplay at first, but once you’ve read just the first three chapters,
there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing “weight loss” is not
only the wrong goal, it may be the reason that you’ve failed to reach
and maintain your ideal body weight. Burn The Fat shows you exactly why
it’s fat you must lose, not “weight” (which includes muscle, water and
other lean tissue) and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.

Secondly, what makes Burn The Fat
different is the
amount of attention that is paid to each and every element of
successful, healthy, permanent fat loss. Burn The Fat not only
thoroughly dispels the lies, myths and fallacies surrounding a very
confusing subject, it is simply the most detailed book about fat loss
ever written. By reading Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, (or better yet,
“studying it”), you will learn more about fat loss than you could from
an entire semester of nutrition classes or from an entire shelf of
maintstream diet publications at your local bookstore.

You may be wondering, “Is this a low
carb diet? A
high protein diet? A high fat diet? what type of program IS it???” The
truth is that Burn the Fat is neither a high protein diet, or a low
carb diet. That’s because with the information in this book, you will
be able to easily determine your own ideal protein, carbs and fats
ratio. You will be able to analyze your body type (are you an
endomorph, ectomorph, or mesomorph?), you will determine your BMR
(Basal Metabolic Rate, or the amount of “maintenance” calories your
body requires every day), and you will find out whether you are carb
tolerant or carb intolerant.

This personalized approach makes
perfect sense
because each of us is a unique individual and no two people are exactly
alike in terms of body physiology and personal goals.

One of the most powerful chapters in
the book is
the first one called, “How To Set Powerful, Compelling Goals That Will
Propel You Forward and Charge You Up with Unstoppable Motivation.” In
this chapter, you will learn what is probably the ultimate secret to
burning fat and getting in shape… and it has nothing to do with
diets, supplements or training programs. There’s also a great quote in
this chapter from the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, Vince
Lombardi…

“The dictionary is the only place
success comes
before work. Hard work is the price we must all pay for success.” That
line does a nice job of expressing the “no quick fix” philosophy behind
the entire book. In the rest of the book, you’ll learn the complete and
exact mechanics of fat loss – explained on both a scientific and a
practical level (which you can easily apply in your own daily life in
terms of what to eat and how to exercise to burn fat).

If there is any drawback to the Burn
The Fat
ebook, it’s that it contains so much information, that some readers may
find it a bit overwhelming. Those who are looking for a “cliff’s
Note’s” quick start type of fat loss program, might be a bit intimated
at first. The good part however, is that even these types of readers
can feel confident and assured that it will be worth the effort because
this will literally be the last book they ever have to buy on the
subject.

Who will benefit most from Burn the
Fat?

In the broadest sense, anyone and
everyone who
needs to lose weight will benefit from Burn The Fat. Men, women,
bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, and especially motivated individuals
and avid readers will love this book. Although it was written by a
bodybuilder, this book is certainly NOT just for bodybuilders.

You will find no “30 lbs. in 30 days”
miracles at
work here. It’s all about intelligent eating choices, planning, hard
work and lifestyle change. As Burn The Fat author Tom Venuto says,…

“Burn the Fat is simple, but it’s not
easy.”

In terms of graphic design, Burn the
Fat is a
clean and professionally formatted PDF e-book. It’s a little on the
plain side, being just text, but that makes it ideal for printing and
reading in the comfort of a favorite chair. Because of it’s size, it
does require a robust printer and a good stack of paper.

Initially, some people thought that
Burn the Fat
was priced a little on the high side because $39 might seem like a fair
chunk of money for an ebook download. However, after they saw the
amount of information contained within Burn The Fat’s 340 pages, along
with the special bonus ebooks and reports that come with it, they said
it was not only worth the $39, but many times that amount.

As with any how-to publication, you’re
not really
paying
for the materials used to compile the document, but for what the
information can do for you, and clearly, this publication has changed
many lives and the hundreds of testimonials and success stories found
on the Burn The Fat website are proof of that (I recommend you take a
look at that “testimonials” page on the Burn The Fat website because
some of the before and after transformations are simply incredible – as
well as inspiring).

The Bottom line?

Anyone looking for a quick fix solution
to fat
loss,
anyone looking to be told fairy-tales, and anyone looking for a “magic
bullet” offered by the likes of body wraps, fat burning pills, diet
shakes, or “fat-burning” creams and gels might be best advised to steer
clear of Burn the Fat.

On the other hand, anyone tired of
“spinning their
wheels” going nowhere, who wants the truth about fat loss and who is
ready and willing to put in the hard work and discipline and make the
lifestyle changes necessary to get a fat free body, will find Burn The
fat to be one of the best investments they ever made in their lives.
