I have truly enjoyed posting fitness info for you all, getting your feedback, reading your comments and (trying to) respond to them all! I would like to thank you all for following this blog over the last year, and hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it for you!!!!
Ok, back to the workout stuff!
The Following video is a demonstration of a great abs exercise that you can do at home!
Here are my TOP 5 tips to help you get a six pack FAST!!!
1. DO NOT TRAIN ABS EVERYDAY!!!
I ALWAYS hear people saying that its ok to train abs everyday, that is pharmaceutical grade bullshit! are just like any other muscle. You wouldn’t train legs every day so why would it make sense to train abs every day? I train my abs 2-3 times per week. If your just starting out, you should do even less. As rule of thumb, after you workout a body part, wait till your 100% not sore before you train that body part again.
2. YOU CAN NOT BURN FAT IN ONLY ONE SPOT!!!
there is no such thing as spot reduction. If you workout your abs and get them strong, they still may not show if you have a layer of fat on them. People think that just doing ab workouts will help them lose there guts, but it does not work like that. You can’t just make it disappear from your waist alone.
When you increase your exercise time and moderately cut back on calories, your body will start to burn some of your stored fat for energy. The result is fat loss… everywhere. When you drop enough fat for your six-pack to show.
3. YOU HAVE TO EAT RIGHT!!!
you cannot out-train a bad diet!!!!! Abs are made in the kitchen and not the gym. Diet is responsible for 90% of your results! In order to burn the fat that is covering up your abs you need a good diet and a solid strength training program backing it up. Here is some FREE info to get your started!
4. DO MORE CARDIO
I strongly recommend your try HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) cardio. It burns WAY more fat in far less time than traditional cardio. A study at Laval University in Quebec, Canada found that HIIT cardio helped trainees loose nine (yes, 9!) times more fat than those who trained the traditional way (moderate speed for 20-60 minutes). Combine HIIT with your weight program and you boost your metabolism through the roof!
I have a lot of info about HIIT in MY PROGRAM. Here is a video of me doing a version of HIIT (this video has over 1,200,000 MILLION views!)
5. DRINK MORE WATER!!!
Since our bodies are over 70% water, drinking water is essential for optimal health. Water helps prime the body for fat loss, as well as flush out harmful toxins. Not drinking enough can lead to a water imbalance in the body, which can increase your risk of disease. Water is the ONLY thing I ever Drink (and alcohol a few nights a week). I have written more on this topic HERE

What your doing is cool i guess, butI think you should wake up, Hit the weights, THEN do cardio, then eat. thats what I do everyday!
try it, and let me know how it works for you!
Ok man, thanks for reply
Hi Brandon!
Can I start of by saying that you have a stunning body and that I admire your passion for music =)
I’ve tried my best, working out quiete hard for 3 months now but haven’t noticed any changes at all. My legs are a bit more ripped but other than that it’s pretty much the same.
Should I train in the morning? And if so, should I do weights first and then Hit or treadmill?
Appreciate your time
yo brandon,
great post as usual
I got 2 questions for you
-What do you recommend me to do for muscle mass building
I heard I should eat alot then bit by bit gain muscle mass and burn the fat away
-Or should I do like those bodybuilders do? Like being fatasses for a few months and then cut?
And did you know that ppl posted your pictures on a gay site lol?
Whats up David!
I don’t really think its a good idea to bulk up and get fat like a body builder. we can not really do everything they do because we are not on drugs like them!
Its ok to “bulk up”, but if you see yourself getting “FAT” you should scale back your food intake. Remember to keep in mind that your HEALTH is more important than your looks.
Here is so info that will help you you http://highlifeworkout.com/2012/01/14/how-and-what-to-eat-too-lose-weight-and-gain-muscle/

For you new abs workout the 15 mins one. Is it recommend to do it on an empty stomach in the early morning?
Yeah, I ALWAYS work out on an empty stomach as soon as I wake up. you burn more fat that way Chris
Congratulations on your 100th post man,

Hey Brandon! Good idea to use a towel! You can also use a dumbbell with a little weight, not too tight so that it can roll!
Keep the good work on your blog! It helping a lot of peeps!

Hey Brandon!
Im following your blog like for a yeary, and its really awesome. Thanks for every post, theyre really helpful.
Look, I got a question about quail eggs, i know that theyre rich with proteins, so i’m drinking raw quail eggs every morning, is it useful or is it unnecessary money spending?
Thanks,
Keep up a great work!
Whats up Ernest!
I’m sure quail eggs are great, but I don’t think the extra money is worth it. ang drinking raw is just gross lol. This ain’t “Rocky 4″ homie, cook your eggs lol. Awesome question bro! thanks
