It's a fact, 91% of us have a dangerous amount of belly fat, and it isn't just unsightly. When you have too much belly fat, you're more likely to suffer from aches and pains, low energy, memory loss, and poor sleep, which prevents you from performing your best at work, spending true quality time with your loved ones, and simply enjoying life. The good news is that you can cure belly fat and immediately start to work better, reduce pain, improve memory, and sleep better using simple shortcuts I've gathered. Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm known as the 8-Minute Life Strategist to the world's busiest celebrities. I've been a fitness, nutrition, and high-performance living strategist for over 25 years, and you may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, President Clinton, Tyra Banks, Dr. Oz, Tony Robbins, or even Steve Harvey. My passion to find the best science-backed fitness shortcuts has allowed me to write over 30 books and become a multiple New York Times bestselling author with over 9 million books in print. And I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. Well, it is Monday. Welcome guys. It is the middle of the month, June 15th. Summer is just a few days away officially, the kickoff. I feel like the Fourth of July is around the corner. Hopefully you had a great weekend. I sure got some sun and hiking in. There's a beautiful part of San Diego called La Jolla where I went to school at UCSD, and it's my alma mater. I went there, graduated in '94, so it's been a while, but I've been in that part of the world for many years, and I always come back to it whether I'm in New York, LA, Malibu, and there's something magical about San Diego that I've loved. And, you know, I really call San Diego home, uh, more than anywhere else. Although, gosh, I love New York and I love Malibu and I love LA. So, you know, in today's world, we're lucky we can travel and do that, although haven't done that recently. But definitely got some hiking in. Hopefully you got some good movement in. And today's show is about how certain types of movement can get rid of not just belly fat, but the most dangerous belly fat of all. And I want us to talk about that because there's a distinction that everyone that I've spoken to over my career has made clear. And if you had a chance to listen to my interview with Dr. Mehmet Oz last week, uh, listen to it again. But he basically distinguishes the difference between what is known as subcutaneous belly fat, which is the belly fat that may be on the sides or the front of your tummy that wiggles, kind of pinch it, right, versus the deeper belly fat, the visceral fat. And that Deeper belly fat is what surrounds the organs, all your organs, and the big ones from the liver to the kidneys to the pancreas, all that. And that belly fat, this deep belly fat that a lot of times is harder and is more stubborn, if you will, is the stuff that is directly been connected scientifically through research to lowering our mortality rate. As Dr. Oz says, it can shave off 15 years of your life because it puts you at risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer. I mean, the list goes on and on, even dementia. So as much as summer is here and we may want to go hiking and maybe go to a beach or just get some sun and look good in our bathing suits, it's not about that. Although it is unsightly, you know, the belly fat, we don't like it. It's really about understanding that it is dangerous, that it can literally kill you. And if you can understand that belly fat is something that you've got to control, lower the circumference of your waist. Listen to Dr. Oz and I talk, because he measures my waist back in the day when we did that interview, and, uh, he gives us the numbers, right? For women, it's about 32.5 inches. For men, it's about 36 inches or less in a waist circumference. He teaches you— if you go to my Instagram or YouTube channel, you'll see the videos on how to measure your waist right over your belly button. And you want that number to be at those numbers or smaller so you have good health. It's more important than weighing on the scale, more important than your blood pressure, is your waist circumference. Jack LaLanne, the Godfather of Fitness from the 1950s— I had a chance to meet him many years ago, and he's passed now— but he used to say, your lifeline is determined by your waistline. So with that said, I've got an affirmation that I think we got to affirm, not just today but for the rest of your life. Share it with your loved ones. I'm going to say it 3 times, then I'm going to ask you to say 3 times with me in front of a mirror, I hope. And it says the following, just listen to these words right now: I lose dangerous belly fat with morning intervals. I lose dangerous belly fat with morning intervals. I lose dangerous belly fat with morning intervals. Now, morning intervals are something that in the last 5 years have become my primary way to exercise. 20 years ago, I wrote a book called 8 Minutes in the Morning, and my book was not about interval training. It was just about strength training, muscle conditioning, and And it is a fact that if you build lean muscle, it burns fat. It's not as, uh, as, as direct, but it works great. It was up to a pound or two a week doing it that way. But if you do interval training, you could accelerate that. You can lose up to a pound a day. I have certain clients that have lost 7 pounds in 7 days, uh, depending on how much you have to lose. But more importantly, forget pounds, it's inches off your waist circumference. Circumference. And interval training activates something known as your catecholamines— big fancy word, you can Google this. I'm working on a new project that will talk about this, but these catecholamines literally are activated in your waist circumference area and they target belly fat. And as a trainer, a lot of trainers are taught that you can't target body parts, you know, fat burning. But what the science has recently shown is that you can through interval training, otherwise known as high-intensity interval training, HIIT training. If you Google that word, but interval training is that powerful. So now let's say these words together 3 times. Take a deep breath in in front of a mirror. I lose dangerous belly fat with morning intervals. Again, I lose dangerous belly fat fat with morning intervals. I lose dangerous belly fat with morning intervals. You may be thinking, why the morning, Jorge? All the science has shown if you do it in the morning, you get a huge lift all throughout the day in your metabolism, your serotonin and dopamine levels. You feel happier, you're more likely continue to use intervals throughout the day, you activate your body's abilities to burn belly fat upon rising in a fasted state. Huge amount of positive results when you do this kind of training. Just drink water, add a pinch of that pink salt we've talked about. Watch or listen to some of the shows about the pink salt. But it's that simple, guys. And I'll tell you, morning intervals for me have become something I've done with every celebrity from Brook Burke in Malibu. We filmed 8-minute workouts, and it's literally— I just take a second to tell, tell you guys what this plan is about, because on my website, jorgecruise.com, we're launching it next month in July. We'll be opening it up. We have a closed circle of clients right now that are doing this method with me. They signed up many moons ago on my other plan, and I kind of brought them into the fold on this morning interval training plan. They used to do just fasting, but as much as fasting is wonderful for losing weight, LBs. You're not going to have a toned body, and you're not going to create a metabolism that will burn belly fat throughout the day. You know, just, uh, fasting in itself is, is miraculous. We do it primarily for autophagy. Yes, you're going to lose a lot of belly fat, but on top of that, um, you know, if you add intervals and start your day with Pillar 1, which is for me Move Fit— you know, that's why we do this on Mondays, and I try to start every Monday with a Move Fit, which is all about a distinction on exercise. This is the distinction, guys. This is what I would say— 25 years of my entire career as a celebrity trainer, and yes, I'm a nutritionist, and yes, I'm a life coach, but interval training is the thing. And you can do it anytime, anyplace. You don't have to do it with my 8 Minute Method. If you want to find out more, we have a link. You can just go to jorgecruise.com, scroll down, you'll see the 8 Minute Belly Fat Cure. It's a program I'm working on. If you do my survey, you'll get an advanced digital course on it, and which is great. So fill that out, go jorgecruise.com for that. But more importantly, you can use these morning intervals on your own, whether you're doing a walk, using a treadmill, if you're back in a gym. You can do it simply by doing 40 seconds as a warm-up. 0 to 10, make it a 5 on that scale of exertion. Don't go too fast, you know, it's a warm-up. Then crank it up for 40 seconds, take it up to like an 8, and then drop it back down after 40 seconds for 40 seconds of low. And that low to high to low repetition. We do it 4 times, so we have 4 moves we do. I do this live, and you'll see my Instagram. If you go to Instagram, you'll see it on the Insta Stories. I usually do it with my clients in the morning. It really targets that waist circumference, and you're going to feel incredible. So your homework is easy. Use the affirmation, print it out if you want, download it at jorgecruise.com. It's always there. All my affirmations are there. And use interval training. In the morning, guys. Morning intervals to burn dangerous belly fat. You know why you need to do this. And whether it's, you know, hiking— like, I like to hike here in San Diego on Black's Beach— whether it's walking, whether it's swimming, whether it's biking, 40 seconds slow, going off at that level 5, kind of a warm-up pace, then 40 seconds high, and then drop it back down for 40 seconds. And use that rhythm of 40 seconds and 40 seconds and 40 seconds. And just do that. You can use your watch for it, you can use your phone. All these devices have stopwatches and you can monitor the time. So it's super simple, you can do it today. All right guys, let me know how it goes. You can always comment on the podcast.
