Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Great article! Sad however that when I try to explain that in my gym, which is a commercial one, people don't believe me, as everybody thinks the opposite. Charles, would you have the reference for the research showing that cardiovascular training ceases to work after 6 weeks of training? And also about the increase in intramuscular triglycerides in the thighs caused by spinning? I would like to shut their mouth once for all.

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Cамый часто задаваемый вопрос
В: Тренер, я – женщина, 173 см, 56 кг. Я занимаюсь 5 дней в неделю. Обычно за неделю я делаю кардио, ходьбу, ходьбу в гору, эллиптический тренажер и несколько фитнесс-классов, спиннинг и круговой треннинг. Около 6 ти месяцев назад я начала заниматься пилатесом дважды в неделю и сфокусировалась на ягодицах и ногах, которые действительно подтянулись и уменьшились в размерах. Однако сейчас мне кажется, что я набираю слишком много массы на ногах, результат к которому я не стремлюсь. Какие упражнения мне следует делать, чтобы избежать увеличенния моих ног?

О: Кардио тренировки перестают приносить результаты уже через 6 недель. Точка. Это было установленно учеными по физиологии упражнений еще в 1973, однако информация не дошла до широкой аудитории фитнисс-энтузиастов.
Если бы это работало, вы бы уже увидели результаты, не так ли?

Знаете определение сумашествия? Это когда человек делает одно и тоже, изо дня в день, и ожидает достичь других результатов.
Не удивительно, что женщины выматывают себя на кардио тренажерах и не видят никаких результатов.
Во-первых, вы должны определить содержание жира в ваших ногах. Самый эффективный способ это прохождение BioSignature с одним из наших специалистов. Вы можете найти их в нашем Списке Специалистов. Существует много способов для похудения, но каждый из них должен быть специально изменен для вас. BioSignature делает именно это. Скопление жира на бедрах и ягодицах указывает на нарушения в женской эндокринной системе. Например, за многие годы работы нам удалось определить, что скопление жира на квадрицепсах тесно связано с поврежденными внутренними гормональными путями, тогда как жир на задней поверхности бедра говорит о присутствии в организме большого количества псевдо-эстрогенов из окружающей среды. Без точных измерений и отношений я не могу дать дальнейшие рекомендации. Однако я могу сказать абсолютно точно, что вы делаете упражнения со слишком низким уровнем интенсивности, недостаточным для вызова нужный гормонального процесса для эффективного сжигания жира. Вам нужно заняться интервальными тренировками. Когда вы это сделаете, вы увидите результаты очень скоро. Безусловно, правильный подход к питанию и верные дополнительные средства только ускорят этот процесс.

Очень немногие женщины, да и доктора, знают, что несбалансированные уровни првильных веществ во флоре кишечника могут определять количество жира на ногах. Позвольте мне объяснить. Один из способов для выведения плохих типов внешних (из окружающей среды) эстрогенов и чуждых этрогенов происходит с помощью процесса, называемого глюкуронизация. В этом химическом процессе происходит соединение данного эстрогена с глюкуроновой кислотой через глюкозидную связь. Человеческое тело также использует это процесс детоксикации для выброса из системы множества молекул, среди которых находятся токсичные примеси и фармацевтические вещества. Проблема возникает, когда в желудочно-кишечном тракте нарушается флора. В это время там появляетя избыток фермента Бета-глюкуронидазы, разрушающего связи между опасными эстрогенами и выводящей их глюкуроновой кислотой. Что позволяет эстрогенам вернуться назад в организм. Когда же флора оптимальна, активность бета-глюкуронидазы сводится на нет.

А теперь подумайте, почему у вас может быть нарушена флора пищеварительной системы? Причин может быть множество: противозачаточные таблетки, внутренние патогены (бактерии, вирусы и пр.), частое использование антибиотиков, стрес и уйма других. Смысл в том, что плохая флора кишечника ведет к толстым ногам.


Принятие подходящего пробиотика в правильное время может творить чудеса при сбрасывании жира с ног. И это только один из многичисленных подходов, которые может посоветовать специалист, практикующий BioSignature. Еще раз, вы можете найти специалиста в Trainer Directory.

Удачи,

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Thank you so much for this article! I've been handing out printed versions of your articles to my clients, and this one is now gonna be part of my arsenal.

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Thank you for this exact information! This perception of doing hours of cardio as the only way to lose fat, increase capacity etc is really a mindset. As you so perfectly pointed out that there are studies detailing the facts behind this…so…the only thing left to change is the mindset.
In my experience this has been the toughest part, but once its conquered fantastic results are sure to follow. I tend to use a variety of mental strength skills, NLP and hypnosis to help my clients that have a similar “stuck” focus. Once they have a different perception on the situation and can see how the new info (your article for example) can be used to help with their progress they make quantum leaps in their progress.
Thanks again for this great information!

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

This is great info! Could you site one of your sources re: Cardio stops working after 6 weeks? (I'm assuming you mean it stops working in relation to dropping thigh size). I need ammo to back up this argument at my gym!

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Excellent article. Charles, thank you for teaching people how the body works! Biosignature is such a fascinating tool.

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Very good post, as always! Thank you Charles

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Notice how Charles commonly makes claims like "it has been documented in the scientific research since...." but fails to give so much as a single citation? That is because none of what he is talking about has anything to do with science.

Biosignature, were it even on their radar, would be considered a joke by the majority of excercise physiologists. It's ideas stand in total opposition to the current consensus of scientific research, to which Charles pretends some knowledge.

I expect the usual, "he is in the gym everyday and see's with his own eyes what works and what doesn't..." type of comments. But that is just ridiculous. And if that suprises you, try googling "anecdotal evidence"

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Hey james,

if you goto www.pubmed.com and type in any of the skinfold sites "umbilical" "suprailliac" and it's respective hormone,(insulin, cortisol etc...) Im sure you will find more than enough evidence that biosig does make sense.

furthermore A friend of mine recently wrote an entire article about cardio and how it isn't effective. he has more sitings than anyone I know. read that one here:

arintraining.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-i-dont-like-steady-state-cardio.html

if anyone needs sitings here is where to find them.

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Great!

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

Hi Joey

Thanks for your post, it was extremely entertaining!

I am all too aware of the literature concerning the claims of Biosignature Modulation, and no stranger to the pubmed database...

While fat deposition in particular regions of the body is certainly under the control of hormones – endogenous or otherwise – the extension of this to spot reduction through supplementation is absolutely not supported by research. Mind you, it is clearly an effective marketing tool to sell this method of sorts – for upwards of ten thousand USD from what I hear.

By the way Joey, I did check out your friend’s blog and have commented accordingly. If nothing else, it serves as a great example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I had hoped I would get a coherent argument from someone here. However, it seems that no one is willing to do their homework. It’s no wonder Charles can post this stuff with such arrogance, completely unchallenged.

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

James is right, there's plenty of evidence of body fat sites being correlated with hormone problems, but where is the pubmed studies backing insulinoplex and ubermag for altering these hormone states. I'd not saying they don't, but where is the evidence beyond anecdotes?

Joey, that article isn't very good. The sprinter vs. marathoner picture classic, why not replace the picture of the marathon runner with every competitive BBer since the beginning of time that got lean using steady state cardio. The hunter-gatherer thing? If humans aren't meant to run long distances, and humans cannot out-sprint any animal, why do they have better endurance than virtually any other animal? Doesn't wearing out an animal by continual running sound like a plausible hunting method? Mike Boyle? Mike BOYLE? Are you going to remove back squats from the PICP curriculum too because mike boyle says so? That guy changes his mind more often than the weather changes.

Intervals have a place, steady state has a place, it's not an all-or-nothing thing, they both work, at the right time, for the right people. For the above client, I'd say she's probably under-eating and over-training, causing stress related water retention, or all the exercise is building up her appetitive, making her eat more and gain fat.

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

James/Brad, just wondering if you guys have any pics? Can you back up all this talk with a physique to match?

Re: The Most Common Asked Question

James/Brad

It's not as if supplement A causes effect B. It's about showing positive effects on how your body handles hormones. That information is then extrapolated to the skinfold sites. For example, fenugreek seed has been shown to have positive effects on insulin management. Extrapolate that and you can see improvements in the trunk skinfolds (as insulin has been linked to excessfat storage on the trunk skinfolds.) There is tons of information on the proposed benefits of using various vitamins, minerals & phytonutrients for improving health and performance. You just need to think about how you can apply the information, and be able to sift through the good reasearch studies vs. the junk.

Also, Charles didn't say cardio doesn't work. He says it 'ceases to work after 6 weeks of training'. Not the same as 'doesn't work'. I haven't personally trained a lot of bodybuilders, but those I have, seem to add their cardio only towards the end of training in prep for a show, not continuous throughout the year. My guess is that most of their fat burning comes from the hours spent on the weights and the incredible discipline for nutrition (the natural ones anyway).

Anyway,just my two cents

I really, really enjoyed this. The humor works brilliantly, and the animation is much better than I had imagined. The way you have “blended” (hehe) it all together makes this look like a solid, whole product, as good as any Pixar short. Probably better. B
