In just eight minutes a day, says Cruise, you can drop two pounds of fat per week, change your shape, and gain muscle and energy. His secret formula: an inspirational "wake-up talk," followed by strength training two muscle groups per day, eating according to his "eating card" program, and keeping a journal. For exercise, Cruise presents a varied, 28-day program of illustrated exercises using dumbbells. Why the emphasis on strength training? While aerobics burns calories while you're exercising, adding muscle revs up fat burning at rest by increasing your metabolic rate. Every pound of muscle you gain burns an extra 50 calories per day. You'll look better and feel younger and more energetic, resulting in more activity, burning more calories, he says. Cruise's eating plan emphasizes "good" (omega) fats, complex carbohydrates, high-quality protein (low in saturated fat), and vegetables, with dairy, fruits, and "treats and cravings" in moderation. His "Eating Card System" gives you an allotment of portions from each of the food groups. If you're the kind who likes the regimentation of following a specific program every day, Cruise will get you moving, eating better, and losing weight. <I>--Joan Price</I> 837899 1 1 2003 8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed up to 2 Pounds a Week Guaranteed total:48|5:9|4:18|3:12|2:7|1:2| 48 169 81 14 4 0 false false Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 06:37:41 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 06:43:03 -0700 2009
