Danny Russo Knows Squat

Danny Russo wants to get your back up against the wall. With a ball. No, he's not telling you to be a wallflower - just the opposite. He wants to give you power - the power to lose it. The fat, that is.

Danny, a get-you-off-that-lousy diet fitness Evangelist, has been prescribing the 'nets best healthy fat loss system for women going on thirty years now. His program is simple, shenanigan-free and customized for the needs of every individual woman. It's no coincidence that the literal center of his three pillar FEW fat loss programs (that would be the "E" for those of you playing at home) is: Exercise. Danny's so-simple-it's-revolutionary FEW program (Food Exercise Water) requires you to shake it, ladies. Consistent exercise is key to keeping you trim, lean and happy.

Getting into a regular exercise routine might seen overwhelming at first, but it's easier than you think. You don't have to jump on a machine or eat raw eggs or drag a sled filled with old engine blocks through six feet of snow. No! Danny Russo has many easy, safe workout routines for women that don't require that level of aggravation. For example, if you want to bag that excess baggage around the tummy and lower body regions, all you need is a ball and a wall. Introducing: wall-e ball.

Danny knows squat. From his years of fitness coaching elite NFL athletes, Danny has found the squat to be one of the most important and results-getting exercises on the planet for taming that lower body baggage. But you don't need a weight rack, dumbbells or any expensive workout equipment to get slim-tacular results. Just go to your friendly WallMart and drop ten bucks for a workout ball. Rest your sore cheeks after blowing it up, then stand facing out from a wall. Place the ball between you and the wall so it contacts the middle of your back.

Before you start playing wall-y ball, there are a few tricks necessary to tailor this squat exercise just for a woman's body. Place your feet wide on the floor. Positioning them just outside the width of your shoulders will tone the butt and tops of the legs.

Now squat down as far as you feel comfortable, pushing up against the ball on the way down. Straighten your legs again and repeat. The ball provides the support you need to make sure this exercise is not just effective, but safe. You can see proper form for the squat demonstrated on my exercise video at LaunchTheNewYou.com.

For extra tone-age, tense your ab muscles and pretend that you are expecting someone to punch you in the stomach at any minute. Sucking in those abs and keeping your weight in your heels will tone that tummy along with your butt and legs. When you're just starting out, try to do from two to five sets of eight to twelve repetitions.

You don't have to play wall-y ball by yourself in a cold, dark room. Use the tube as your workout partner. Time your sets by your favorite show's commercial breaks. Every time they cut away to sell you soap, start a new set or squats. Before you know it, you're going to feel and look so good that you'll want to hit the wall every day. But don't. Give your body at least a day to recover between wall-y ball sessions.

Danny Russo: Set Your Phases for Stunning!

Danny Russo's Three Phase Fat Loss Supplement Program

Good things come in threes. Especially “good for you” things. Danny Russo announces the release of his three phase women’s fat loss supplement program. And don’t call it a diet. Danny Russo will tell you he’s not a “diet guy”. The self-described women’s fitness and health evangelist is traveling the country this spring to rally the droops (of unwanted weight) that have collected on your body all winter long. And, like all inspiring leaders, he has a plan. A three phase supplement plan that actually works. This tri-UMPH of supplements is the bedrock for Danny’s FEW (Food Exercise Water) regimen. At the end of 90 days, Danny’s supplements will have you leaner, tighter, firmer and feeling just plain stunning. Book it.

The focus of the Phase One (Day 1-30) supplements is to relieve dreaded water retention - a problem that affects many women; especially in their lower bodies. Once you “demote the bloat”, you’ll be supercharging your body for more efficient fat burning. And what will fill in for the fat? Lean Muscle Mass! Phase one will help you trap that new tone by holding onto newly built muscle.

The Phase Two (Day 30-60) supplement is custom crafted with just the right balance of nutrients. The synergistic balance created by Danny Russo’s proprietary vitamin/mineral formula is key, because without it, your body will pass the nutrients instead of retaining them. And after the first thirty days, you’re already a fitness champ, so you’ll need those critical vitamins and minerals to repair and rebuild more lean muscle.

Phase Three (Day 60-90): With your body prepped for total fat termination, this final supplement is infused with amino acids; the essential chemical building blocks for lean muscle mass. The supplements are all connected to exact Natural Nutrition and Exercise formulas for each woman. No line-jumping, please... Make sure you have completed the first two phases before taking this one on.

Phase Four? Ballyhoo the New You!
