There is nothing greater than being in control of your own destiny. There is no better way to do this than taking control of your energy, your emotions, your physical appearance and your abilities.
Looking and feeling great is the most incredible experience one can have and it can only be enhanced by celebrating your success with a vacation retreat on a pristine, white sand beach with soft glowing blue waters, and subtle white tops cresting the tide as you walk in the surf and peel off your shirt for the first time in what seems like an eternity to reveal the newly etched details upon your flawless abdominals and body.
Being able to take control of your destiny is something millions of people are attempting to do right now at this very moment. The world over people are working harder and longer than ever before in an effort to take control of their lives financially as their health, fitness and mental vitality painfully spiral out of control.
One of the best things you can do that truly will put you in control of your life is to take control of both health in mind and body. While many are gaining unimaginable amounts of weight and losing control of their health sitting in office chairs in front of computer screens for hours on end, there is an elite few that are doing the exact opposite by taking control of their health and destiny eating well, being active and going on multiple vacations every year away from computer screens while enjoying beaches, sun and surf.

The great thing is this can be you too. You can take control of your future and be the master of your own destiny in this unstable economic time by taking control of yourself. It is without a doubt (and some pretty compelling empirical data) that fit bodied professionals are paid better, receive promotions sooner, work less and perform better than their sedentary plump partners. They also command nonverbal respect in and out of the boardroom…
… It has been reported that a 30-60 minute workout first thing in the morning provides a mental and physical focus that allows an individual to complete 9 hours work in 8 hours or less, thus providing more time to enjoy more vacation time.
One of these elite few is none other than Patrick McGuire, President Empowered Nutrition Products Inc, a professional nutrition and fitness expert with a focus on living life to the fullest and providing powerful proven results and ultimate transformation rewards…

Ammunition for building awesome an awesome Body with TacFit Commando Training…
Watch the TACFIT – KIDNAPPED VIDEO at www.EmpoweredNutrition.com/tacfit-commando-bullet-points
Whether you dream of training exactly like the world’s elite special ops or you just want that shredded special ops physique, TACFIT Commando addresses both lean muscle gain AND fat loss WHILE exposing you to a level of skill development that’s been kept “classified” until today.
High-Intensity Fat-Burning Circuits:
Each mission in the TACFIT Commando dossier can be completed in less than 30 minutes, and those 30 intense minutes melt fat faster than hours of cardio-style exercise.
Equipment Free Muscle:
When on a mission, “black-ops” types need to maintain or even continue building muscle mass without equipment. We put the Commando program together to maximize continued muscle growth while ensuring optimal fat loss. When you’re on vacation, too busy to get to the gym, or simply want to shake things up a bit while still building muscle, this is the perfect equipment-free solution.
Complex Skills that promote “neurological sophistication”:
Special ops guys tell us that after training with TACFIT, time appears to slow down as they speed up, fine motor skills become more accurate, gross motor skills more efficient, and they feel significantly less stress in a crisis. Imagine how much easier it’ll be to put up with the stresses of day to day life? That neural stimulation also means you’ll be able to activate more of your muscle fibres and lift more weight when you go back to the gym. You’ll also avoid fat loss plateaus by continually adding new stimulus.
Injury-Proofing and Active Recovery:
The tactical operator needs specific low-intensity mobility exercises to accelerate recovery from intense effort, to prevent overtraining, and to diminish the delayed muscle soreness typical of extreme exertion—which translates to constant mission readiness. YOU will get the same benefits applied to accelerated fat loss and recovery from intense training.
High Octane Cardio Conditioning
Tactical training programs must target the energy systems of tactical response: that means high intensity, three-dimensional movements done for repeated bursts of short duration, with fast recovery—serious workouts for those who aren’t afraid to push limits others call impossible. For YOU that means faster fat loss through interval-style training, and more energy for your work, leisure and life.
Improved Stress Management:
Finally, the extreme psychological stress experienced by active tactical responders requires methods that safely reabsorb the adrenal dump of “fight or flight.” You’re of no help to your teammates if you’re sick or burnt out. Your ammunitions only as good as your rifle—and if your equipment breaks down you can’t even shoot blanks. Daily life translation: a run in with the boss, your spouse or an irate neighbour won’t tax your system like it used to — you’ll be calm, cool, collected and ulcer-free.
Well Rounded Physical Specimen…:
Crisis response demands a physical training program tailored to the specific needs of the field agent: tireless stamina, extreme range reactive strength, ballistic speed, the agility and coordination of a Free Runner, and active recovery and pre-habilitation. Tactical operatives need these things NOW, and TACFIT delivers in spades. Using the programs designed for these guys means YOU will benefit from the same kind of well-rounded athleticism they use on real life James Bond missions.
Cool Applications — Party Tricks
Real Tactical Applications: each exercise has been carefully programmed to forge the highest level of specific conditioning while building and reinforcing tactically relevant skill sets. Want to move like Mission Impossible? TACFIT will teach you how. By incrementally working up to the “crazy” tactical exercises these guys use, you’ll have an endless source of “party tricks” to amaze your friends and freak out your kids. You’ll also build an incredible movement palette for your sport, leisure activities or just your everyday life.
“And what guy doesn’t dream of learning the methods that Navy SEALS, Marines and real-life secret agents are using right now to chisel those rock hard bodies…?”
Program Specs:
-> Bodyweight only — No equipment
-> 4 distinct types of training days performed cyclically (mobility, flexibility, strength, conditioning)
-> Choice of a rotating 4 day or 7 day cycle OR…
-> Integration of specific components into your existing workouts (cardio, flexibility, etc)

Part 4 of 4 in our 3 Minute Challenge…
3 Minute Dip Challenge
This is not an easy task by any means since you will be using a very small muscle group to move your body through space.
Another factor that is going to limit the consistency of the results is how you perform the exercise. To make this equally fair for all we will be using a chair dip or bench dip. To execute this one, you need to have your arms behind you on one chair and your feet either on another chair or on the ground simply as pivot points not to be used for pushing and cheating.
This falls into both the muscle ENDURANCE and POWER challenges, since you will be using a small muscle to move your weight you need power to even get started and since it is such a small group exhaustion will come quickly and you will need muscle endurance for your triceps to keep going rep after rep for 3 minutes. You will also be working your core stabilization, some front delts and even traps during this exercise.
Here are the requirements for this dip challenge:
1 or 2 chairs
Timer – here’s one for you http://e.ggtimer.com/3-minutes
State Your Name, Weight and Total Reps
Will power and muscle endurance
INCENTIVE:
