To help you keeping moving your fitness forward through the summer months, I'm throwing a mini mid-summer Booty Camp but you've got to let me know if you would like to find out more.

If you're like me, the waist is where you can sense pudge first.   Maybe it's because it's so noticeable in the way our clothes fit, or because we can so easily – quite literally – see excess poundage when it lands in our middle.

Most women (once past their teens, anyway) find the waist seems to be a favored storage area for any extra "fluff".

And when we lose some measure off the waist,  universally we feel more fit, confident, lithe, and healthy.  Yes?

Where Did That Inch In The Waist Go?

"Question for Lani – what's your input on why so many Gams Glutes Abs and Arms participants had significant inch loss in the waist? Was there a specific movement or Fit Quickie exercise that made that happen?"

This question from Jennifer just came in on the heels of the wrap of our May Boot Camp "Gams Glutes Abs and Arms 4 Summer".

Yes, Jennifer, there are exact and specific reasons we had such focused results from this class.

Let me list them for you.

Why The Waist, And So Many Showing Inches Lost, In So Short A Time

Here is a partial list of the waist stats to which Jennifer refers.  At the finish of the 4 week session, these reports started rolling in.

Now, keep in mind I'm going to focus on waist inch loss as per Jennifer's question.  These women peeled inches off everywhere else, but the waist losses really caught our attention first:

• Keturah: 1 inch off her waist

• Carol: 1.5 inches off her waist
  

• Jennifer: 1 inch off her waist

• Val: 1 inch off her waist

• Phyllis: 1 inch off her waist

For starters.

3 Steps To Cinching Inches In The Waist – This Quickly

Each of the women noted above implemented tools that were key to the May class – and are part of my signature system for energy, resilience and strength, body shaping, and weight loss.  As these results ARE typical, and coming in like clockwork for those in my programs, I'd like to show you how simple and straightforward the pathway to these kinds of successes really are.

Let's look at the 3 headliners that these women implemented:

1)  Winning Dietary Guidelines: An incredibly simple, easy-to-follow dietary plan that keeps you satisfied, well fed, and OUT of the hunger zone (critical!  White knuckle weight loss does NOT work.)  As Fitness Expert at the Health and Medical Center for Dr. McDougall. M.D., I have the inside track to simple and powerful nutrition tips that make THE difference.

2)  Targeted Body Shapers: The muscles around the middle are not only often shrouded in excess body fat (which is addressed directly with #1 above), but due to bad posture and inactivity have lost density and shape.  The best way to reverse this is to isolate and overload those very muscles. As the body fat stores decrease via the Dietary Guidelines, these muscles start to "show up" and display their "cinching" properties to your best advantage when challenged in specific, targeted fashion.

In the May class, we implemented the following Fit Quickies™ Fit Quickies, all of which – either directly or indirectly – target the middle:

• Fit Quickie #1: 7 Seconds to a Flat Belly
  
• Fit Quickie #5: Topless Muffins
  
• Fit Quickie #7:  Kickstand Curls,
  
• Fit Quickie # 4 Gorgeous Glutes and Hamstrings, and #6 (Thigh Warriors) and #8 (Hot Seat!) which work the largest muscles of the body, and also have an Interval Training effect, increasing calories burned during as well as after exercise to dip into body fat stores.
  

  Snapshot from Fit Quickie #7: Kickstand Curls

3)  Active Every Day: Though workouts were solidly in place, this does not mean "work out" every day.  It means move your body.  Just being a good animal. Include challenges to the large muscle groups of the body to build shape and metabolic rate.  It's really quite simple.

4)  Community and Support: The simple act of signing on for a focused study, whether as part of an ongoing community or a group with a time-telescoped shared goal, such as a month long course, steps you up to the plate of success.

By demonstrating to yourself that you value your fitness, health, and goals about all of it, you leap far further into the health, well-being and energy circle.

It's a way of supporting yourself, let alone getting the support of others on the same venture along with a mentor and coach. The power of this synergy has proven itself time and time again.

As a matter of fact, it is very common when women simply sign up for a class or membership, things start moving rapidly for them because it is a sign of their commitment.

Out of the wishy-wash into the spin cycle.

Off the fence and into the sandbox.  Which is exactly why I've got something new cooking just for you….

Are you seriously looking for a way to finally shake the extra pounds and inches that sap your energy, undermine your confidence and self-esteem, and tarnish your self-image? Abandon the fitness chaos that keeps sabotaging your success, and implement a proven step-by-step strategy to energize, lose weight, shape your body, and explode your vitality.  Click HERE now to get started.

Do you suffer from either or both of the following:

• low back pain?
• belly pooch?

Because maybe, just maybe, you've got an excessive anterior pelvic tilt situation going on.  This is a situation you do not want to allow to persist, because the problems with discomfort and the potential for increasingly poor posture will only grow.

I've already shown you some very effective stretches for offsetting muscle tightness that can contribute to the over tilt of the top of the pelvis back:  See Stretches To Correct Excessive Anterior Pelvic Tilt.

The stretches are important because of common, chronic tightness in these muscles:

• Psoas
• Rectus Femoris
• Lumbar Erectors

Here's the thing. The relative tightness of these muscles creates excessive tension that "shuts off" other muscles that are crucial to posture and alignment, specifically:

• Gluteals
• Hamstrings
• Abdominals

Strengthen as well as stretch for best results!

This means that not only do you need to address stretching those over tight muscles, you need to develop strength in the group that has become weakened.

7 Seconds to a Flat Belly targets the deep abdominal muscles;  the variation in the video clip above will add to your expertise and contribute to effective abdominal girdling.  That means flatter abs.

In addition, the gluteals and hamstrings, believe it or not, are quite often weak in women.  As large muscles on our bodies, and engaged in locomotion as they are, you'd think they'd be quite strong.

But think about it. We spend far more time sitting our our backsides than working them.  When means the glutes have checked out of the game and the lower back ends up propping up the spine.

No wonder that low back hurts and the glutes have dropped to the floor!

There are several Fit Quickies™ that target glutes and hamstrings – with good reason.  They are critical to core strength, beautiful body shaping, and burning calories galore.

Once you've watched the video descriptions above, it's easy to tuck these 2 tighteners into your routine.  Here's how:

1) Practice Trasversus Abdominus strengtheners, either on the floor (as above) or in 7 Seconds to a Flat Belly 3 – 5 days a week, and

2)  Practice Gluteal and Hamstrings squeezes, either is directed in the video above or  in other elements of  your body shaping and strengthening routine, 5 days a week.  Fit Quickies™ #4 and #5 isolate and overload these muscles for very effective body strengthening and shaping.
And see if you don't enjoy a low back that just plain feels better. And a profile that just plain looks better!

The transversus abdominus muscle, in red (above right), can be isolated and trained to reduce abdominal or belly "pooch"

Let’s face it.

That zone right beneath the belt line in front is almost a universal area of concern.

Unless you’re 13. And skinny.

What’s with the “pooch”, anyway?

As explained in the "7 Seconds to a Flat Belly" Video, abdominal pooch is caused by more than just extra abdominal fat, though that of course is a big factor here. It is also due to prolapse of internal organs due to gravitational pull, AND to reduced muscle tone of the Transversus Abdominus muscle.

In brief, Abdominal Pooch makers are:

1. excess abdominal fat
2. prolapse of internal organs due to the effect of gravity
3. reduced muscle tone of the Transversus Abdominus muscle

Finding an easy to understand image of the TA muscle is difficult because it’s so well buried under all of the other abdominal muscles. Yes, the full set of abdominal muscles work together as a team, and it can be difficult if not impossible to isolate them completely.

However, the TA is head player when it comes to protecting the lower abdominal cavity from internal as well as external pressure. That’s why it tightens up when you cough, sneeze, or laugh. Or when you anticipate a punch in the stomach.

The TA muscle also provides trunk stability and keeps the waist tight. But if we don’t go out of our way to work the TA muscle, we lose the tight waist. And the trunk stability. And the flat belly.

The video gives you instruction, information, and the tools you need to do this powerful move.

Do this simple move for at least 3 days in a row and you'll feel the difference. 5 – 7 days, even better.

Think of it as a belly boot camp.

And get that lower belly pooch on its way to taking a disappearing act – for good!

From your first step inside a Bar Method studio, you become aware that there is something different about this workout.

It's not just the soothing, serious colors and beautiful photographs on the wall.

It's not just the sculpted, lovely shape that the women (and yes, sometimes men) who come to these classes seem to have in common.

As if this isn't enough!

Rather, it's after the workout begins that you sit up and take notice.

And for an investigative mind such as mine when it comes to all things fitness, here is where the inspection begins.

Consistent delivery of solid, sound instruction

I've never, ever had a bad Bar Method studio experience. That includes those at this San Francisco location (How Kate kicked my butt in Bar Method class) and the studio in Walnut Creek.  There are several in the San Francisco Bay Area.

How many have there been for me?  Probably under 20.  Yet that is enough time to have experienced no less than 7 instructors.  And the consistency of quality hasn't waivered – not once.  It's like the Starbucks of studios – you know you are going to get exactly what you came for, with no compromise in the quality or standard of delivery.

As it turns out, this is no accident.

The intention behind the method.

The Bar Method truly IS a method, on mulptiple levels.  Physical, mental, and emotional.  This is because the choreography of the workout flow is holistically designed to engage not only the body layer by layer but also to keep the mind focused.

The choreography here is more than the sequence of steps.  Let's get that clear.

Physically, the Bar Method workout incorporates and well-thought out – and planned – sequence of instruction.  The workout builds from simple warmup, weaving in stretches and isolation work to intentionally alternate between comprehensive (all body) work, isolation work to work deep into the muscle  for superior body shaping, and stretching to create greater flexiblity, strength, function, and beauty.

Mentally? There's no down time.  Every minute of the 60 minute (count on precise start and end times, a real plus)  sessions is planned and presented in a fashion to keep moving things forward.  There's no time for glancing at watches or catching a quick chat between sets.  The workout keeps advancing, building with the creative force of instructional detail, counts, and the music.

Emotionally one emerges from this well-planned experience refreshed not only in body, but spirit.  The hour is meditative due to focus and orchestration.

A conversation with Burr Leonard:  more to report!

The Bar Method delivers this experience, of course, without you knowing exactly why or what the plan is, and that's just fine.

Yet as a teacher, fitness coach and pro for a few decades myself, and as one always looking to investigate what works and what doesn't,  it was a treat to experience  having the design behind the workout explained personally by Burr Leonard, it's creator, herself.  Perceptions were confirmed, as enlightenment about more of the details of the workout took place in our conversation.

So, consider this Part 1.  More to report as interviews are transcoded.

What's on the video?

For now, enjoy the video of a day at the Bar Method Studio, including:

• clips from a mixed level class taught by Burr Leonard, Bar Method creator
• private, one-on-one instruction from Burr in a favorite, signature Bar Method exercise:  the Pretzel!
• a glimpse inside the San Francisco Marina studio, the Bar Method flagship location

And stay tuned for Part 2.   Find the studio nearest you here:  The Bar Method, where you can reserve class space in advance or pick up a video for home practice.

There's another trick in the arsenal of belly-flattening techniques that you must try if you haven't already.  You can find in the T-Tapp Wellness Workout.  It's called "Organs in Place/Half Frogs". And as the T-Tapp workout is featured in the June 1, 2009 issue of People magazine which hit the stands May 22 (page 86), there's no time like the present to start – or reinvest in – the T-Tapp secret to a flat stomach.

Briefly, the People magazine story features Heather Petrie who lost over 100 lbs while using T-Tapp.  Heather's story is remarkable not only due to her weight loss, but her inspirational journey with MS as well.  An important component of Heather's workouts is this unusual belly-flattening move.

And with one of the all-time favorite videos on the YouTube FitnessDreamMaker channel being "7 Seconds To A Flat Belly", I know that this is one topic – the quest for a flatter stomach – that just won't quit.

I have observed how this simple exercise series has taken inches off the belly with 10 days of practice.

True story.  Read on.

But first, a little insight into what creates belly pooch.  Then  links to where you can study the details of this move. You can even aquire it on video should you so desire.

Let's get started.

What is belly pooch all about?

That bulge below the belt is actually due to a combination of factors. Extra avoir du pois is easily deposited in the belly for most of us.  No mistaking that this is a contributor to belly pooch.  Weight loss and fat loss always improve the situation.

But weight and body fat, as it turns out, are not the whole story.

Prolapse of internal organs

Due to the effects of gravitational pull – and the contribution of our upright posture to same – there can be a progressive displacement of the organs of the abdominal cavity.

This can result in protrusion of the belly forward – belly "pooch".  It can also result in increasing pressure on the pelvic floor, creating continence problems as well.

With the Organs in Place/Half frogs move as featured in T-Tapp, the problem is addressed directly.  Manual pressure is implemented to restore position of internal organs in the abdominal cavity while on ones back – effectively using gravitaional pull to one's advantage.

This flattens the abdominal wall immediately.  Then, a series of reverse-type abdominal curls is engaged in to tighten the newly flattened lower abdomen.

2 inches off the belly pooch in 10 days?

Yes, scout's honor I have seen these kind of results.  Yet realize this doesn't mean that 2 inches of bodyfat came off the belly pooch area in 10 days.  That would be impossible without surgical intervention such as liposuction.

What HAS occurred with this kind of dramatic inch loss through the lower abdomen is the restoration of position of internal organs.  This includes the assist of the Half Frogs reverse curl to tighten and tone the transversus abdominal muscle over the newly flattened abdominal area.

Where's the proof?

The proof is in the pudding with this one and is based entirely on observation and testimonial.  I have no x-ray images of actual shift of internal organs due to this simple exercise.

What I DO have, however, is the personally experienced benefit of this move along with results from clients and students.

You might want to give it a try.

Where to see the exercise and video

You can see the snapshots of "how to" for Organs in Place/Half Frogs right on the T-Tapp site in the "Try Before You Buy" section here:   Organs in Place/Half Frogs.

However, in my experience this can be a tough one to get from still photos and text.  You can snap up the video version of this move here;  simply navigate to the Target Pop page and scan for "Organs in Place/ Half Frogs".

Or better yet, you can pick up a copy of the T-Tapp book Fit and Fabulous In 15 Minutes.

The entire Organs in Place/Half Frogs sequence is on the DVD that comes with the book.

And remember to pop on into a newsstand and check out the article in People.

Well, you may not aspire to "6 Pack Abs", but you just may well be on the quest for a flatter belly, leaner middle, and all-around trimmer feel through the waist.

Yes?

For a long time I've ranted about the promise, rampant in the fitness industry, of abdominal exercises to "blast away belly fat".

I've scorned the use of (and accompanying pressure to purchase) pricey toys that parade as "specialized abdominal training equipment".

Because I know that what it takes is negative energy balance (see "It's The Calories, Honey!) and well-designed intense exercise (see "EPOC Training Parts 1 and 2") to recomposition the body and reshape the middle.

Which is why I read with pleasure the intro to Craig Ballantyne's special offer on his Abs workout system.

Now, Craig's materials can be a little hard sell. But don't let that get in the way of relishing these nuggets as written in his promo materials that I thought you'd enjoy.

I've also added my own commentary to Craig's text in blue.

By Craig Ballantyne, Men's Health Magazine Home Fitness Expert, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, and Author of Turbulence Training for Six Pack Abs:

Even my dog has six pack abs, according to my vet!

Myth #1 – You Have to Do Hundreds of Crunches and Sit ups To Lose Belly Fat and Get Flat Abs

If you rely on boring, back-breaking abdominal crunches and sit-ups to burn belly fat, you'll never lose the ugly belly fat covering your abs. To get more fat burning results in less workout time, use fat burning interval training and total-body abdominal exercises instead.

Me: It's true my friends. You can crunch forever and have a nice strong set of abdominal muscles hidden beneath everything else.  You can REDUCE and MAKE MORE EFFECTIVE your workout time by utilizing shorter, comprehensive workout routines that by their very nature utilize core and abdominal muscles.  The EPOC effect plus a negative energy balance does the trick.

Myth #2 – In Just Four Easy Payments of $29.99, You Can Buy a Miracle-Working Six Pack Ab Machine From a Late-Night informercial

Ha! I wish one of those abdominal exercise contraptions worked half as good as the so-called "experts" say, but infomercial gadgets don't burn belly fat or flatten your abs (they only burn your money and flatten your wallet!).

Me: There ARE some penny-wise toys that you can utilize to challenge your abdominal area as part of a more comprehensive, total body exercise.  For example, the Swiss exercise ball can be incorporated in many other compound exercise moves so that you don't have just one "ab roller" for just one exercise!

Myth #3 – You Have to do Ab Workouts Everyday to Get Six Pack Abs

Not true! In fact, one of the secrets of top fat loss trainers is to drop boring, repetitive ab exercises and replace them with total-body abdominal exercises you only need to do for a few minutes three times per week.

Me: Fewer, higher intensity workouts deliver more in terms of protecting and building muscle as part of your body shaping routine.  Who wouldn't like to drop oodles of reps for smarter, fewer ones?

Myth #4 – You Have to Do Cardio in the Fat Burning Zone Everyday to Burn Belly Fat

Long, slow boring cardio in the fat burning "Zone" is not the best way to lose ugly belly fat. In fact, in a recent study, subjects did 40 minutes of slow cardio three times per week for 15 weeks but didn't lose a single inch of stomach fat. However, only 20 minutes of interval training helped subjects spot reduce their belly fat.

Me: OK, this is the topic of an upcoming article I'm writing about "Fat Burning Zone" hype.  The  term "fat burning zone" is misleading and I'll tell you why right here on my blog in an upcoming article.

Myth #5 – You Can't Get Six Pack Abs at Home. You Have to Use Expensive, Fancy Ab Machines at a Gym

Research shows that most abdominal machines in gyms are extremely DANGEROUS for your low back! But you can do simple, safe, and effective abdominal bodyweight exercises and interval training at home to flatten your stomach.

Me: Personally? I rely on planks and pushups, T-Tapp Organs-in-Place/Half Frogs, shoulder alignment, interval training, another signature move (7 Seconds To A Flat Belly )and my dietary plan to stay trimmer in the middle. Simple and effective?  Yes!

Then fantastic, you are saving yourself all kinds of grief, let alone time!  Hopefully this will reassure you to do more of same.

And if you have been looking for something simpler and far less time consuming than you've been doing, and thought there must be a simple, more effective way to a trimmer middle, then here is your inspiration to try just that.

Here are my 3 simple steps to success at trimming time from your workout and excess from your waist:

1)  Focus on compound muscle movement and exercises. Many workout systems will do this for you, such as compound body weight exercises, free weight training, T-Tapp, Pilates…

2)  Pay attention to your dietary plan. This is #1 when it comes to weight loss (fat loss).  If you have excess avoir dupois through the middle, you need energy balance that results in a slow reduction of bodyfat stores.  That means moderate calorie deficit, over time.

3)   Invest in stress management that will help circumvent the stress response of excess abdominal stores.

P.S. If you are looking for some new variety and balance, you could check out Craig's ab workout system, 21 days trial for something like 5 bucks, and if you no likey, you no pay the balance, how's that for a guarantee?  I haven't seen the program myself though I am quite familiar with Craig's other workouts. Here's the link to his special offer.

I'm talking about that area right below the belt line, often referred to as the "pooch".

And if you DON'T know where the "pooch" area is, please present yourself, because I've never met a woman yet who didn't know precisely where it is!
