Spaghetti Squash and Fresh Plum Tomato Primavera...BMAX APPROVED!


This recipe is a BMAX must-try. It's not enough to just do the workouts, you have to make BMAX a lifestyle, and that means eating right. Here's Andy's recipe for Spaghetti Squash and Fresh Plum Tomato Primavera - let us know what you think!

Ingredients:
-medium size spaghetti squash
-6 plum tomatoes
-fresh garlic cloves
-veggies of choice (we used sweet red pepper)
-black pepper
-cumin

1. Cut a spaghetti squash in half and cook face down on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

2. While cooking prepare the sauce: Fill medium size pot with water and bring it to a boil, then drop 6 plum tomatoes in for about 1 minute until you see the skin start to peel away.

3. Remove tomatoes and run under cold water so you can handle them. Completely peel each one and place in a bowl.

4. Once all are peeled, one at a time hand squeeze the juice out of each one into a small sauce pan, and rough cut the tomato "meat" and toss right into the juice.

5. Mince your garlic and add right in with the tomatoes, add a few pinches of black pepper and a few pinches of cumin. Feel free to add any veggies you would like. Tonight we used sweet red pepper.

6. Simmer on a low heat, and stir periodically until it comes to a low boil.

7. Once the squash is done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a about 5 minutes. Once you can handle it, spoon out the seeds and the middle core section and discard.

8. Then take the halves of squash and from top to bottom fork the squash right onto your serving plate. You will see the squash take on a spaghetti look.

9. Top it with your fresh sauce and serve!

 By Cheryl from Body Slim Down

There is no doubting that we live in a “WE WANT IT NOW” society; and when it comes to our fitness and health, it’s no different. We want results and we want to see them quick. Unfortunately, most of the time impatience leads to frustration, forcing us to get derailed from our training routines and sometimes even to stop. Usually it’s just enough time to put the pounds back on and to get terribly out of shape. On the opposite end of the emotional spectrum, we can get so hyped to improve our fitness that we actually end up over training; basically too much, too soon, eventually leading to injury. Either scenario will lead to the same place–failure.

By now you have all heard it, “Get a ripped physique in 90 days”; “Best shape of your life in 60 days”. Unfortunately, the express mentality is not always the best solution. This seems to be the reality with some of the well known giants, such as P90X or Insanity. Those attractive results you see in the infomercials come few and far between and most of the time are not achieved due to the fact that we don’t and we can’t finish the program for the reasons stated above.

I THINK I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION TO FINALLY BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN A FITNESS PROGRAM WHILE STAYING SAFE. WOW! RESULTS!!!

It is innovative, it is unique, the workouts are quick, and it is safe–It is BMAX! Andy Berler has created BMAX with YOU in mind. Folks, “The Oscar for the BEST EXERCISE PROGRAM, goes to Andy Berler’s BMAX.” You will not believe how effective, and how efficient Berler’s training secret known as Maximum Activation really is. By activating as many muscle fibers in the body at one time. The body becomes so effective and efficient in burning and building, that it continues this process up to 48 hours after every workout.

I am truly intrigued by Maximum Activation, as well as how Andy has organized and designed the program. It makes so much sense, but no one has EVER done it like this before; not P90X, not Insanity. BMAX is on an island all by itself.

I have found that the three most popular reasons for not being able to achieve results in these other popular workouts are:

1. Over Training; 2. Repetitive Stress Injury or RSI; and 3. Isolation Exercises. None, and I repeat none of these negatives are even close to the BMAX space. In fact, Mr. Berler has developed the entire BMAX theory around his strategy to intentionally extract these factors that contribute to failure and turn it 360ยบ around towards almost guaranteed success. It really is so smart and done perfectly.

While the other programs out there focus on working out six days a week, for one hour a day, using repetitive exercises, and split routines that focus mainly on isolated one muscle at a time movements–BMAX proves them all wrong.

Never mind the fact that most people do not have the time to workout six days a week, over 1 hour a day; the average person needs more recovery time to be able to maintain and sustain. This is why with the BMAX workouts you will achieve results using the program only 3 days a week, for less than 30 minutes per workout. This ensures you will always maintain the intensity, mentally and physically. Unlike traditional workouts that are basically made up of one muscle at a time movements, splitting up the different body parts, forcing you to have to workout six days a week, just to give the entire body attention.

Here comes BMAX with Berler’s training secret, known as Maximum Activation. Total body all the time! Every exercise activates as many muscle fibers throughout the entire body, creating a machine that wants to burn and build, even on your well deserved days off, yes that was plural, I said days off. Every workout effectively develops each the primary big muscles, while developing all of the supporting smaller muscles that stabilize and protect the entire body. Now that’s efficient use of your time. Most workouts that you see or do are comprised of a series of exercises and warrant you to do that same selection of few movements over and over again within a workout. That is an equation for the common injury mentioned earlier known as RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury). Not in BMAX Land! Get this, due to the amazing innovation of exercises, most of which you have NEVER seen before, and the fact that you will NEVER repeat an exercise within a workout, the body built by BMAX will stay safe, strong, and wanting more! What more could you ask for?

In conclusion, Andy’s basic theory, focuses on “Working out smarter, NOT longer. In my opinion, he has nailed it. BMAX is a MUST TRY–there is nothing like it, and it works.
