Here are my favorite ab exercises..

Monday, March 17th, 2008

I’ve got 2 things for you today…

First, some tips I think you’ll really find helpful when it comes to
the abs and 17 different things you can do to improve the way
you look AND feel.

So, let me start with the abs…

Not sure why, but so many people seem to be almost obsessed
with “abs”. Caring more about abs than brains… glad you’re not
like that

While the mid-section is so important to your health and fitness,
how it looks isn’t nearly as important as how it functions. And
whether you are concerned with how it looks or how it functions,
or both, here’s what you need to know…

The primary function of the abdominal muscle is to flex your
torso forward.  However, there are also muscles that flex
your torso to the side and muscles that rotate your torso.

Often times you see people on their “ab-roller” every day
doing hundreds of crunches or sit-ups. What a waste of time!

If you want to effectively strengthen your stomach you need
to incorporate the following types of exercises:

* 1-2 forward flexion exercises (reverse crunch, knee raises,
crunch, sit-up, etc.)
* 1-2 side flexion exercises (side bends, side crunches, etc.)
* 1-2 rotational exercises (trunk rotations, standing twists)

Choose at least 1-2 exercises that target the lower abs,
1-2 for the obliques (love handles) and 1-2 for the upper abs.

If you haven’t already, be sure to grab a free copy of my ab
training video, The ABsolute Truth. On this video I share with
you my favorite ab exercises, several for each area and then
even give you a workout you can follow along with.

You can grab this DVD as well as 6 other products for free here

Ok, and if me giving you 7 of my products for free wasn’t enough,
I’ve got one more goodie for you…

My good friend and fellow fitness trainer, Christopher Guerriero,
has agreed to allow me to give you a copy of his audio program,
“17 Proven Ways To Look & Feel 10 Years Younger In 30 days

The 5 Most Effective Treatments for Back Pain, Neck Pain and Sciatica

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I wanted to share with you the list of the top 5 treatments for back pain, neck pain, sciatica and other related conditions.

But before I do, I just had to share these two emails I just received…

Subject: backjoy
To: jesse

I am loving it. I am talking about the backjoy. Sitting has been a drag. The backjoy has been such a relief. Since 10 years  I cannot sit without discomfort and this is for the first time that I say I feel a relief!! Thank you for inventing this piece of art. I hope I will get much more relief, the beginning is here.

To: Jesse Cannone

Jesse,
The Back Joy is nothing short of amazing!  I carry it around with me everywhere I go because I can sit so much more comfortably. Without Back Joy I could only sit for 20 minutes without sciatic pain due to a herniated disc.

Using the Back Joy triples that time before I have to get up and do some stretching.  I’m still working on improving muscle balance issues and expect the length of comfortable sitting will improve over time.  Thanks for some fine products and continued motivation.

So did you grab your Back Joy yet? If not, do yourself a favor and grab one of these things now…

It works incredibly well, is super affordable and you can use it at home, in the car and at work. Just like Martina and Joyce above, you too will be thanking me

Ok, now real quick before I share with you the top 5 treatments, I want to answer a question that I received recently that maybe you too have been thinking…

Here’s the email question I received:

Jesse,

I don’t understand why you want me to spend $49 after I have already spent $100 on your Lose the Back Pain system.  I don’t understand why you tout 2 products that are supposed to do the same thing—- eliminate back pain.

I am using your Lose the Back pain system and am having a little success but I am surprised you are recommending I buy another product, how many products do you want me to buy?

Jeff

——- end Jeff’s email ——–

Hi Jeff and thanks for your email and great question…

The fact is, the two products do two completely different things. Can you get relief with just one, probably. But what we have found in working with tens of thousands of people who suffer from various types of back pain, neck pain, sciatica, etc is that most people get the best results when they combine multiple treatments. And in just a minute I’ll share with you our list of the top 5 treatments…

In this particular case, the Lose The Back Pain system will help you to get relief by identifying and addressing your muscle imbalances and the Back Joy can’t do that… and there are some things the LTBP system can’t do…. for example, it can’t help you sit more comfortably and with better posture, and that’s what the Back Joy does.

Again, I am not saying you need to buy both or everything that we sell… but what I’m trying to do is show you all of the things that we have found to be helpful so you can decide what you want to try. And if you ever have questions please feel free to give us a call… where here to help.

Top 5 Treatments for Back Pain, Neck Pain and Sciatica


Ok, here’s the formula that we have found to deliver the best results:

1. Reduce the pain and inflammation

You can do this with a natural anti-inflammatory like Lifezyme Plus or something similar. Remember, this will NOT eliminate the underlying, physical cause of the problem… it will deal with the inflammation but it is not going to correct muscle imbalances, decompress your spine, force you to sit up straight, etc… the goal is to reduce pain so you can work on addressing the underlying cause(s).

2. Identify and address the underlying, “hidden” cause: muscle imbalances.

You can do this by working with a qualified health care professional who is experienced in muscle imbalances, if you can find one or do it yourself in about 30 minutes or less using our Lose The Back Pain System.

The challenge here is that there are so few health care professionals out there who are experienced in what we call “muscle balance therapy” and that’s why our system has been so successful.

Would it be better to work with someone, of course, but what if you can’t find someone near you or what if you can’t afford all of the visits? Plus, there’s no way on earth that you can get the system and not benefit tremendously. But don’t take it from me, read, listen to and watch the hundreds of success stories on our website.

3. Use Trigger Point Therapy to reduce pain and relieve chronically tight muscles.

You can do this yourself and there are several books on the subject or you can find a qualified health care professional who specializes in treating trigger points. There are therapists who specialize in trigger point therapy and you can also often find chiropractors and massage therapists who have been trained and can help you. I also suggest you check out our trigger point self treatment system.

4. Reduce spinal compression with inversion therapy or traction.

Traction is typically performed by a chiropractor or physical therapist but you can also get great results just by using an inversion table. Inversion therapy has been used for over 2000 years and has been shown to work really well when dealing with a herniated disc. Click here to learn more about how spinal decompression works.

5. Use mind-body exercises and techniques to reduce and “block” pain.

Not only can they reduce pain, but they can also change you mindset and beliefs. One of the biggest reasons so many people suffer year after year with various types of pain is their mindset. They have a negative attitude, they are the people who say “I’ve tried everything and nothing worked.. I’m going to spend the rest of my life miserable and in pain” and they are so close-minded that they’ll walk right past the solution to their problem.

Whether you believe it or not, it’s a proven FACT that your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitude play a big role in your ability to recover. Click here for 9 of the most powerful mind-body techniques

Are there other treatments that work, of course, but in working with tens of thousands of people suffering from back pain, neck pain and sciatica, these are the 5 things that we have found deliver the best results for people.

That’s all for today…

Chiropractic Adjustments Trigger Stroke

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

All my chiropractor friends are going to just love this email….

If you’ve ever considered chiropractic care for your back or neck pain, you may want to think again. Why?

One reason is there have been several recent cases where individuals suffered a stroke after having spinal manipulations done on their neck by chiropractors.

Now, I am NOT saying that all chiropractic care is dangerous…

But I do believe, that most people do NOT need spinal manipulation. Are there some situations where it may be necessary, yes, but not many.

But chiropractic care has a much bigger problem…

The basic philosophy or approach is flawed., Yes, I said flawed, as in it does not make sense. Most chiropractors focus primarily on manipulations and they are trying to force the body back into alignment. Well, it seems to make sense, right?

Problem is, the muscle imbalances are what pulled your body and spine out of alignment to begin with and those same imbalances will still be there after a manipulation…

And those muscle imbalances will pull your body right back out of place, and usually within a day or two… and that’s why, most chiro’s treat their patients 3 times week.

If you aren’t familiar with muscle imbalances I urge you to learn more about them. Start by reading this article about muscle imbalances.

Now don’t get me wrong, most chiropractors are honest and caring people, and I also like the fact that it’s a natural approach to treating various conditions BUT…

Unless you are addressing the muscle imbalances in conjunction with the manipulations, you will likely never get lasting relief because over time the imbalances WILL pull you back into what I call a “dysfunctional” position and the pain will return.

Just ask any one who sees a chiropractor frequently and they’ll tell you that they can’t go long without treatment and many patients end up going weekly or monthly for years, even decades.

Now I know the rebuttal from every chiro to that is likely to be “patients come in for treatments frequently and consistently for months and years because it’s important to keep the spine in the proper alignment”.

While maintaining a healthy alignment is important, it doesn’t require spinal manipulations. Corrective exercises and stretches not only can do the job most of the time, they actually work much better because you are addressing the muscles that are pulling the body out of alignment.

But what about other treatments that chiropractors offer?

Well, it depends on what you are talking about… electrical stimulation? ultrasound? generic exercises? None of these are very effective. But I know that there are some forward thinking chiro’s out there who do more than the same ol chiropractic treatment…

The really sharp ones, the ones I know, incorporate things like corrective exercises and stretches that are targeted to the persons specific muscle imbalances… they utilize muscle activation therapy to strengthen specific muscles… they use manual muscle therapy techniques… they incorporate massage therapy… they use trigger point therapy to eliminate spasms and relax chronically tight muscles, and so on.

They take an approach to treatment that incorporates the whole body, like what I teach in my audio program, The Complete Healing Formula.

The point is this, there are some chiropractors who are great and there are a ton who aren’t. If you work with a chiro and your typical treatments lasts about 15 minutes and includes electrical stimulation and a few quick cracks of the back, I urge you to find another asap and learn about all of the other types of treatments that have been proven to be effective. You can find information on over a dozen different treatments here.

Oh, and if you want to watch the news story I mentioned, you can find it on Fox5 news here

So anyone up for some neck manipulation?

Talk to you again soon…

57 Year Old With Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Spinal Fusion Finally Gets Relief

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I received this email last night and I want to share it with you…

—–Start of email—–

Just a note to tell you that I have been taking Lifezyme Plus for 2 months now and
I am really feeling better.  Back and neck pain is relieved, I am standing straighter
and taller  I have  added  two palates classes Monday and Wednesdays.

I’m 57 with osteoarthritis and a cervical neck fusion I was in horrible
pain and now I look forward to another day.  I was very hesitate to write because I
was not sure these pain free  capsules would work.  Rah! Rah! Jesse.

The only question I have is can I continue with Lifezyme forever or do I
have to stop once the pain is relieved.  I find it hard to believe that all the
prescription medicine and pain management shots did not work as well as this product.
Even my Fibromyalgia is better.  Thanks again.  Also it is good to know
that while LIfezyme is a tool, diet and exercise plays a big part too. Hope to hear
from you.

——– end email ——–

This is great! And everyday we get emails like this from people who have
tried nearly everything and barely got relief and then try Lifezyme Plus and
are amazed by the results.While most people are surprised by the fact that it
works better than prescriptions and injections, they shouldn’t be. When you
think about how they work and compare it to how the enzymes, herbs and
nutrients in Lifezyme Plus work, it makes complete sense.

Instead of the band aid approach of blocking the pain so you don’t feel
it, Lifezyme Plus goes to work right away to reduce the underlying cause of the pain,
which is in large part, the inflammation.

Click here, If you want to learn more about how proteolytic enzymes

While we new proteolytic enzymes therapy worked well at reducing
inflammation and pain, we had no idea it would work for so many other
conditions andtypes of pain!

The list of conditions, ailments and types of pain that can be improved
or eliminated with Lifezyme Plus now inlcludes:

- Arthritis
- Back Pain
- Muscle Pain / Soreness
- Head Aches
- PMS Pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Sinus Pain
- Sciatica
- Neck Pain
- Viruses
- Chronic Fatigue
- Allergies
- Uterine Fibroids
- And even more!
If you are like me, and you want to have a safe but effective alternative  to all the
harsh, dangerous and often times, addictive medications, I suggest you give
Lifezyme Plus a try and see just how well it works:
