A few weeks ago I had a consultation with a potential new client.

He called because he was completely fed up with his weight, especially the amount of stomach fat he had accumulated over the past few months.

I agreed to meet with him because he really sounded like he wanted to work and wanted to get rid of his beer belly.

What I learned was that Dan was pretty much like every other male client I had met with over the past few months.

- He was a dad.

- He had a very stressful job.

- He had no time to devote to workouts.

- He was a stress eater and liked to drink beer.

- He was totally confused about what exercises work and don’t work to lose stomach fat.

- He wanted to get rid of his beer belly and he wanted it done NOW.

I asked him what types of things he’d been doing up until our meeting and he gave a pretty standard response.

“I workout when I can, but I really don’t have much time, plus I don't really know what to do so I go from bench to bench and machine to machine until I work up a sweat.” he said.

He continued, “I want to spend as much time as I can with my family, but my job keeps me from them too much and I don’t want to head to the gym which will take away more family time.”

“When I do workout I usually spend a lot of time on the treadmill and then I hit the floor and do crunches, sit-ups, or maybe some crunch machines and sometimes I do an Abs class at the gym.”

I loved hearing this because I knew that he would love what I was going to tell him and the results he would get would be phenomenal.

I told him to quit the gym because it was wasting his money anyway.

I told him to buy some dumbbells, a bench and stability ball.

I designed a home workout program for him that would obliterate his stomach fat while only working out 10 minutes a day.

But on top of that, I told him to stop worrying about doing crunches and instead add these abs exercises to every single workout he did:

1) Stability Ball Jack Knife

2) Swings

3) Burpees

He wasn’t very excited at first, but I told him to trust me and get back to me in a few weeks to let me know how things were going.

He gave me a tentative nod and went on his way.

3 weeks later he called me and couldn’t believe the results he was already having.

He’d done the 10-minute workouts as I told him, plus was adding those 3 exercises to every workout and had already lost an inch off his waist and had more energy than he had in years.

Not bad for 3 weeks!
