Vince: Guys, Vince DelMonte from YourSixPackQuest.com and we are here for another video coaching lesson. You probably wonder why we do not have our shirts on. We just wrapped up two very, very intense 25-minute home gym workouts. I am downstairs in the basement with the extremity-pro body builder John dePass and he just took me through grueling 25-minute workout, and then we actually went through a second one too. And those workouts are available at my website. When you click on the order page, you can get access to those. John, maybe you can share with us, I mean, you are known as the home gym expert. This is where you train hundreds of clients day in, day out. Maybe tell us a little bit who you work with first off.
John: Most of the time I am working with professional people. I do have some athletes, I do have some body builders that are trying to compete but most of the time it is 40 to 65 age group. People that are busy and they do not have a lot of time and they want to have intensity. They do not want to waste their time going in and going out of the gym, have fun and get all their body parts work in their neat package.
Vince: Before we talk about some of the mistakes people make training at home and before you give out some secrets for how to make the most of their home gym, maybe you can tell us a bit about the corner stone of your fat loss programs. Give some advice to our watchers on how to get a six pack from a fat loss standpoint, what kind of principles and philosophies do you share.
John: Definitely philosophies that I would share are big one that is often said and over said in fitness is lifestyle is that this cannot be something that you are just going to do for a short period of time like you are just trying to get ready for a vacation. You know the motivation is there for a short period of time and it is gone. This has got to be something that you are trying to fall into because you are trying to adopt the new way of living. It is a daily endeavor. You are starting something that you are going to start to do on a daily basis. Whether you are going to commit the 30 minutes or 60 minutes a day, this is something that you are trying to get into for a lifestyle.
I compare it to something like yoga or tai chi that has been around for thousands of years. Bodybuilding is relatively new; it has only been around for 50 years. But lifestyle programs like yoga, like tai chi have been around for centuries and they are done on a daily basis, and that is where you need to get into and that is the mindset you got to take when you are trying to get your body in shape.
You got to make a equipment to the nutrition, again, a lifestyle of choice, of eating, the way of eating to maximize the type of nutrients that you put in your body, drinking your water, going to bed early, getting up early and living with discipline.
Vince: I think both John I would reassure you that it is much harder to get to your Six Pack than it is to maintain your Six Pack, so keep that in mind as motivation. Maybe I just want to summarize, John took me through a grueling workout and he kicked my butt. It was funny because I was just saying that you did not take me through any isolation exercises. We focused on all compound movements, functional movements, things to stimulate, the nervous system, things that put me in oxygen depths, almost felt like I was doing cardio.
With these home gym workouts that me and John are going to take you through, you are not going to see any ellipticals. You are not going to see any cell phones, you are not going to see any isolation exercises. You are going to see bread and buttered movements that are going to get the best bank for your butt in the shortest period of time. Maybe you can share some of the mistakes people make to a one training at home or home gym.
John: The biggest mistake with the home gym that I see as people buy the home gym, they hang their laundry on it and they leave it in the corner and they end up doing everything at home to make every excuse for why they cannot get down to do their workout in th
