#65 - MOVE FIT: I KNOW MORNING INTERVALS ARE THE BELLY FAT CURE.

It is Thursday, July 2nd. I'm Jorge Cruise and welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. I'm so excited you're here with me right now. I can't believe it's almost the 4th of July. If you're new to the show, welcome. What our show is all about, it's about peak performance living. And if you think about it, what is peak performance living? For me, it's freedom. The freedom to work when you want. I don't care if you're in your 20s, 30s, or 70s and work well. It's also being able to do the opposite, and that is to play well, to enjoy life. And not have aches and pains. For me, the way I've helped millions of people through my books, online, and through a lot of what I do in LA and New York with celebrities is to help people lower their waist circumference. That's a fancy way to say I help people lower belly fat. And I've made it kind of my life's mission. I'm the guy that had belly fat in his 20s, and as a teenager I was picked on, made fun of. And I can tell you, having belly fat, obviously, uh, can make you feel awkward. It's unsightly a little bit. People make fun of it. But beyond that, it lowers your immunity. It puts you at a high risk for heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, lowers your immune function. So there's nothing good about it. And if you can lower your waist circumference, you will get a sense of freedom and confidence that I can tell you personally is like nothing else. And so welcome to the show. Today we're talking about what I call the belly fat cure. And in 2020, for me, the belly fact here is about morning interval training. Morning interval training is, I think, the most effective way to transform your health and to lower your waist circumference. You connect that to a good diet through intermittent fasting, we'll talk about that in other shows, and you've got almost the perfect formula to transform your life forever. But it starts with morning interval training. So we're gonna talk about that on today's show. But first, I wanna shout out to our sponsors. We're brought to you by my website, JorgeCruise.com. Our 2020 survey, and we extended it one more month because I got so much good feedback. And if you've got just a few minutes, do it, because this next week I'm going to be sharing with everyone the Belly Fat Cure online course that will teach you about what I'm talking about today. It's a really great course. It'll come out after the Fourth of July, so don't expect it beforehand. It'll be released the week of the 6th, probably towards the end of the week around this time. But regardless, I'll be texting you guys that. And when you fill out the form, I get your cell phone. You can also give an email, and I'll send you that via text Serena, and it's a simple free course. It's worth over $100 and it's totally free if you just go over to my website, jorgecruise.com. Just click at the top of the site and fill out the form. It's the survey, takes 4 or 5 minutes. And my website, just so you spell it right, because a lot of people don't know how to spell my name, it's Jorge Cruise, it's jorgecruise.com. So check that out. We're also brought to you by Primal Kitchen. My nutrition mentor for the last 17 years is a man by the name of Mark Sisson. He's 67 years Young this month, and Mark really introduced me to intermittent fasting. He also introduced me to a lot of nutritional ideas that are provocative, including this idea about avocado oil and how to use it in salads, how to use it as a mayonnaise. And he then created a company, and now it's a company that's out there. It's in every store. It's at Costco. And if you go to their website, they're giving away this month a free chipotle lemon mayo with avocado oil— made with avocado oil, obviously. Not canola or soybean. If you Google that, you'll know that it is highly inflammatory to joints, your body, it ages you. Avocado oil is protective, it's anti-inflammatory, and it's delicious. And he knows how to make this stuff beyond delicious. I use it every day as a dollop on my tacos, my steaks, whatever I'm eating, I use avocado oil to give it flavor, to enhance it, and to make it better. So check it out, go to Primal Kitchen. Www.juvve.com/jorgecruise, and you'll get a free chipotle lemon mayo on checkout. Totally free. We're also brought to you by the guys I start my day with every day. It's called the Joove red light therapy, and this Joove— I'll spell it for you, it's J-O-O-V-E— and if you go to their website, joovve.com/jorge, they'll give you a free gift with checkout, uh, if you check out any one of their lights. And they've got great guarantees. And I use this red light every morning upon rising. I'm up early, 4:30 in the morning, and when I'm up at 4:30, it's dark, but I like energy. I'm— maybe it's because I'm Latin, but I need energy. And for me, there's nothing more pretty than a sunrise or a sunset, and unfortunately at 4:30, that's not happening. I turn on my Joovv and I get that effect. But then the science behind it for skin conditioning, collagen production, and inflammatory response is amazing because it helps lower inflammation joints. Your skin gets more beautiful. It literally changes your whole life. Check them out, the website. It's really unique spelling, but I'm going to spell for you one more time. It's j-o-o-v-v.com/jorgecruise. You get a free gift on checkout. Try them out. And with that said, let's get started with today's show. We're talking about intervals, so let's get started right now. 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. All right, I am so excited. We are talking about my favorite subject of all. This is why celebrities come to me. This is why I'm working on a new book for next year, and it's all about understanding the power of curing belly fat. Literally what this show is all about, about lowering your waist circumference, but specifically on today's show through exercise. Now here's the great thing: no gyms required, no equipment. This isn't going to hurt your back, it's not going to hurt your knees, your wrists. You're going to feel fine. You can do this anywhere, anyplace during COVID-19, during and after COVID-19. You can do it in a gym, and you can do it on a treadmill or a Peloton bike. It doesn't really matter how you do it. I prefer to do it in 8 minutes, and I always do it in the morning. So we're going to talk about why the morning, what an interval is, and really just in a nutshell, before we do the affirmation, an interval is just simply you kind of jolting your heart rate. Because when you can start off low, imagine for 40 seconds walking, say 0 to 10 on a 5 scale, so it's kind of like a power walk. You're just walking 40 seconds, you look at your Apple Watch, hopefully you have an Apple watch or something like that, an iPhone. You, you monitor the time, 40 seconds. Then for 40 seconds, you take it up to a level 8, maybe a 9. Don't go to a 10 because a 10 would be a run. I don't want you to be running. No need to push yourself that far. But by elevating your heart rate, you activate a part of your body that then triggers a hormonal response that literally burns and targets belly fat. This thing called catecholamines is what it's all about. And catecholamines literally are activated in your abdominal area, and they they really spot reduce your belly fat. And no other exercise does this at all. And that's why interval training, otherwise known as HIIT training— H-I-I-T, high-intensity interval training— has become such the popular method by athletes, by baby boomers, by everyone to improve health. Because here's the other thing: it also improves your heart rate, your muscle conditioning. It does it all. It's even been shown to improve telomere life, which is the the, the smallest part of your cells, which once they're extended, you can live longer and extend life longevity. So it's a powerful tool. Dr. Boucher, Stephen Boucher at the University of South Wales, is the researcher that kind of published this in the Journal of Obesity. And when I read this, I was like, wow, you know, you don't even have to do an hour a week. My clients do 8 minutes and we do it over 5 days. So in less than an hour, I help people cure belly fat. Now, whether you're a client of mine or not, it doesn't matter. Let's do this affirmation together in a minute, but first I'm going to walk you through it 3 times. And affirmations— the reason I do this on every show is because if you can have a little nugget to take home with you, and that's what an affirmation is, it's usually a phrase, something small that hopefully is catchy enough where you use it all day in your head. And that positive self-talk is what can change patterns of behavior. And my goal is when the show ends in a few minutes that you utilize this today, and if not, this whole Fourth of July weekend. Because interval training will help you literally chip away at belly fat. It literally targets it. All right, so here's the affirmation. Let's say it together, and then once we do it together, then I'll talk about it some more. But first, let me go first, and here it is. Just listen to the words. It says, I know morning intervals are the belly fat cure. Let me say it again. Listen to the words. I know morning intervals are the belly fat cure. Cure. One last time, listen to the words. I know morning intervals are the belly fat cure. Now, it's pretty powerful for me to say that, but I've been doing this 20+ years, 25 years as a trainer, 20 years as an author, and I can tell you, in the millions of people I've worked with, over 9 million books in print, this is the key to everything I've learned. It's step 1. It's And it changes how good you feel too. It changes your serotonin level. So there's so many benefits. We'll talk about that in a minute as well, from the heart to the muscles. But again, it's about reducing your waist circumference. So let's now do 3 of these affirmations together. So I'm gonna ask you to stand up if possible, go into a part of your home or office, wherever you're at. If there's a mirror, that'd be better. Get a mirror because if you look at yourself while saying something positive, it has a powerful doubling effect. So try this with me right now. Let's say this together. I know Morning Intervals are the Belly Fat Cure. Again, I know Morning Intervals are the Belly Fat Cure. One more time, I know Morning Intervals are the Belly Fat Cure. And it's that simple, really. The Belly Fat Cure is about understanding that You've got control over your waist circumference, and that's what interval training will do. Now, if you compare it with one last thing— morning time workouts— you're going to be more successful, especially if it's then in the morning before you eat. Now, you can have water. I do water with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt. I usually have my coffee or matcha tea, whatever it is you can pick, but that's about it. Don't be having anything beyond that. You can use healthy fats I've talked about that in my last book on intermittent fasting called The Cruise Control Diet. No problem with that, but you have to avoid carbs and proteins while you're fasting. You can cheat your fast with healthy fats like butter, heavy cream, and all that, but just a dab. You don't need a ton in the morning before you work out. If you need it later to control hunger, that's fine, but try to do this literally upon rising. Literally roll out of bed and do interval training. I I can assure you this will give you the greatest advantage when it comes to fitness and to conquering belly fat. It truly is the secret to the Belly Fat Cure. So I hope this makes good sense, and I want to challenge you to start using it whenever you hear this. If it's a Thursday night, listen to it, you know, tonight, and then apply it. Go on a 10-minute walk around your neighborhood. If this is Friday, and now it's Friday and it's before the Fourth of July, utilize it then if it is the Fourth of July or the weekend or any day of the week, utilize it as soon as you get a chance to. Doesn't take more than 8 to 10 minutes. It's that simple, and it will cause your body to transform. And if you're interested in getting the 8 Minute Belly Fat Cure online course that I'm giving away after the week of July 6th, which is next week, just go to my website.
