Metabolic Aftershock Beta: Live Call-in with Dr.

Jade April 21, 2014

Q: Hey, everybody. It‟s Dr. Jay Teta here. So excited that you joined us tonight. Tonight is
the big exciting live call to get you started with the Beta program for Metabolic
Aftershock. Really excited everyone‟s here. I want to give you a ton of details tonight
about the program and also give you the ability to ask me your questions directly.

Now, right off the bat we understand some of you have not yet received your DVD. So
we do not want you to worry about that. They are en route. There‟s not a problem at all.
I don‟t want you to stress. You‟re not missing anything. All you need to do is hold tight
until they come.

And all I would do in the meantime is just go for a walk, stay active. You really are not
missing anything and it‟s not going to throw you off your program. Just start when you
get your DVDs. I know that can sometimes be a little bit stressful for you, but really, it‟s
not a big deal. Just when you get your DVDs you can start. So I hope you guys—that
puts your mind at ease as far as that goes.

Now, there‟s a couple other housekeeping issues that we want to cover right off the bat.
And this is really just what the, sort of, beginning requirements for being involved in this
Beta group. The first thing that I want to make sure everyone does, is that if you have not
already, please go and join the Facebook group. The Metabolic Aftershock Beta
Facebook group and friend Samantha Sherpa. That‟s the first thing you want to do. I
think most of you have done that already.

And then the next thing you‟re going to want to do, is you‟re going to want to go up into
that group and in the „files‟ section of that group you‟ll find a bunch of files there for you
to give you the directions of what you‟re going to be doing, the most important aspects of
getting started are going to be doing your before photos.

Now, I want to say something about the before photos really quickly. The way to do
these photos is to make sure they are full body photos and you‟re going to want a front
shot and a back shot. And it‟s best to make sure that you‟re wearing something tight,
like, a bathing suit or something like that so that you can see the dramatic changes you‟re
going to make. If you‟re wearing baggy clothes and things like that, you‟re not going to
be able to see how much change your body makes. And you want to be able to see that.

You also want to make sure that you have good lighting in these photos. And once you
get them all set up and done you can then attach the photos to an e-mail and then e-mail
them to beta@metabolicaftershock.com. And make sure to include all your details, first
name, last name, that kind of thing.
And then you‟re also going to want to do your metrics. There is a tracking sheet in the
Facebook group that you‟re going to want to get that‟s an Excel tracking sheet. And that
gives you all the directions on doing your metrics. Okay? So I want to make sure that
everyone‟s clear and we‟re all in the same place with this, right?

So everything I‟ve told you actually is in that Facebook group in the „files‟ section. But I
just wanted to make sure you knew how to get started. So that‟s just a little bit of the
housekeeping items really quickly.

So let‟s go ahead and get started. Tonight is really about telling you briefly what the
Metabolic Aftershock is and really what it‟s designed to do and why I put it together the
way that I did. Okay?

So the first thing to know about this particular program is that it‟s really about teaching
your metabolism how to burn fat efficiently again. And so I‟m going to talk to you a
little bit about how the metabolism works and then why this program, sort of, delivers a
more efficient metabolism, a healthier metabolism, one that burns fat effectively.

Here‟s the thing with most exercise programs that we do when we‟re trying to change our
body. These exercise programs treat our bodies as if they are a calculator. In other
words, it looks at the metabolism through the lens of a calculator calculating calories,
adding and subtracting calories. And the truth of the matter is, that‟s not actually how the
metabolism works.

The metabolism actually works like a thermostat or a see-saw. In other words, your
metabolism is adaptive and reactive to everything you do. So if you push against it by
eating less and exercising more, your metabolism will push back against you making you
more hungry, giving you cravings, suppressing energy and maybe even slowing down the
metabolic rate.

And this is the reason we now know, and research is beginning to show, that this is the
reason why so many people fail to achieve results on diet and exercise programs. In fact,
95% of people who exercise in the traditional way tend not to be successful. And so what
we have done is re-engineered the way you want to be thinking about exercise and put it
into this program.

The first thing you need to know about your metabolism and weight loss is that there are
two things required to generate lasting weight loss and body change. And those two
things are one, reduced calories, and two, hormonal balance.

That‟s really important to understand because what most people do is they just think, “If I
exercise like crazy I will burn up calories and therefore I will lose weight.” And exercise
will certainly help you burn calories, but the wrong type of exercise can create hormonal
imbalance and lead to compensatory eating reactions, make you more hungry, make you
crave things like cheesecake and things like that.

And so what we want to do is make sure that we designed a program that worked with the
way the metabolism worked. And let me give you an example of what I‟m talking about
here just so everyone on the line sort of understands.

Let‟s imagine you want to go about losing weight the old way. You‟re going to exercise
the old way. So you decide you‟re going to go and job for 30 minutes, right? Let‟s say
in that 30 minutes you burn 300 calories. You‟re thinking about your metabolism as a
calculator. So you go for a jog, you do it for 30 minutes, you burn 300 calories, right?

Well, when you stop exercising, when you stop jogging, what happens is you will stop
burning any fat or any calories. And what may happen and what frequently happens,
what science is showing that often happens now, is that as a result of that you are far
more likely to overeat at your next two meals. So you burn 300 calories and let‟s say that
results in you eating 400 extra calories that you normally would at your next two meals?
Why would you do that? Because that exercise session created an imbalanced hormonal
situation making you more hungry, making you have more cravings.

I bet many of you on the line are sitting there thinking, “Yeah, Jay. I know what this
feels like. I‟ve actually done this before.” So you may have burned 300 calories during
your exercise session, but as a result of the hormonal changes you put into play, you end
up eating an additional 800 calories than what you normally would, so now you‟re in a
500 calorie excess, not to mention your fat-burning hormones are out of balance too.
That‟s the old way of doing things. That‟s not the way you‟re going to be doing things in
Metabolic Aftershock.

Here‟s the alternative. You do intelligent, intense exercise for 15 to 20 minutes. You
burn, let‟s say, 250 calories during that time. The difference though, is rather than stop
burning calories when you stop the exercise, you continue burning 200 more calories as a
result of the workout over the next several hours and days. And because it balanced your
hormonal biochemistry, you end up eating a little less or at least the same that you
normally would at your next couple meals.

So now, rather than being in a 500 calorie excess the old way, now you‟re in a negative
450 calorie deficiency and your hormones are balanced. So I want you to understand that
what you do for exercise, how much you do, how intensely you exercise, how smartly
you do it, will directly determine things like hunger, energy, cravings, metabolic rate,
hormonal balance, to turn you into a fat-burning machine, but not just make you burn
more fat, but also make it far less likely that you binge on the wrong foods.
And so you have to think of this more smartly and intelligently. So this program works
with, rather than against, the way your metabolism works. It works with the
metabolism‟s natural thermostat nature, rather than treating things like a calculator.

So I know that some of this may get a little bit science-y and confusing for you. I‟m
trying to go slow so you can understand, but hopefully that makes sense to you.

So let‟s get into this a little bit more detailed, what to expect. Well, this is really a nine
week program and it‟s broken up into three phases. So it‟s basically three weeks, three
exercises in each of those weeks and then you change and move into Phase 2, which will
again last three weeks and have three different workouts in that phase. And in Phase 3,
again will last another three weeks with three different workouts.

And I have progressed these workouts in a way that slowly ramps up your metabolic
potential in a way that does not do damage. One of the things that other exercise
programs will do or a lot of people will make a big mistake, is when they start exercising
they will jump on it really hard and fast. They end up with things like shin splints, they
end up with injuries. And what happens is they end up with a lot of this metabolic
compensation I just talked about, but more importantly their metabolism is really not
ready to burn all that fat. It‟s not charged up enough. It‟s mitochondria, the energy
factories in each of our cells cannot handle the amount of fat that is released.

So a lot of fat gets released, but not a lot of fat gets burned. And we talk about this in the
Metabolic Aftershock manual. You‟ll learn about how you can release fat. But just
because you release fat does not mean you‟re actually burning fat. As a matter of fact, if
you‟ve ever looked at your blood labs and seen a high triglyceride level which is a
measure of fat, many people who have difficulty burning fat have plenty of fat floating
around in their blood to be burned, but they cannot burn it because their hormonal
situation is such that makes that more impossible.

And so what we‟re doing is we‟re making sure that we‟re not going to throw you into the
lion‟s den, so to speak, and crank up all this fat release and not have your body be able to
burn it. And so it‟s progressed very naturally to make that happen for you. So let‟s talk
about these three phases briefly and especially Phase 1. I‟ll get into Phase 2 and Phase 3
at a different time, but I do want to give you a little bit of background on all three of
them. And we‟ll cover Phase 1 and then we‟ll kind of get into some questions for you
guys.

So the Phase 1 really is about getting your muscles and nerves connecting appropriately.
So you might say, “Jay, what exactly does that mean?” You can think of yourself really
as sort of a metabolic athlete, so to speak, you know, these professional athletes. They
get sent off to training camp before the season starts. And that‟s all about getting them
primed and ready to play their sport.
Well, that‟s what Phase 1 is very much like, because what we‟re doing is we‟re easing
you in, this is sort of the spring training. You‟re going to have three weeks where we‟re
really sort of challenging your body a little bit, challenging your muscles, getting your
nerves to connect. Your nervous system has to connect to your muscles to create this
coordinated movement.

And so I am going to be challenging you, and I purposely built this program so that the
exercises and the movement patterns challenge you differently than other types of
exercises. And they will specifically be working on things like strength and balance, and
of course, beginning to reverse some of the metabolic damage that many of us have.

And so Phase 1 is really about, sort of, priming the pump, sending you to spring training.
Now, there are a couple of things that I really want you to be aware of in all of the
phases. And you‟re going to get introduced to them in Phase 1. But during this process
you‟re going to be paying attention during these workouts to four major bio-feedback
signals that your body is going to be sending you.

And I call these the B‟s and the H‟s. Two B‟s and two H‟s. The B‟s stand for breathless
and burning. And the H‟s stand for heavy and heat. Breathless, burning, heavy and heat.
Every single phase of the Metabolic Aftershock workouts will hit each of these, but each
phase is designed to attack one a little bit more directly than the others. And so in Phase
1 we‟re really going more after the heavy component.

And so you‟ll be confronted with some of these big compound movements, things like
push-ups and things like that, that really make your body strain a little bit. And that is
very beneficial hormonally. For those of you who are interested in the science, it‟s one of
the better ways to release testosterone. It also releases human growth hormone and that‟s
going to be important.

And as a matter of fact, I‟ll tell you guys in a little while, why those two hormones are
important and why women in particular want to pay attention to human growth hormone.
So Phase 1 is really about the heavy component. Obviously, like I said, each phase is
going to hit all four of these.

Phase 2 is really going to be about the burning component. In Phase 2 you‟re going to
get more introduced to tension reps, repetitions that, when you do the exercises, you‟re
keeping tension on the muscle the whole time or what we call „pulsing‟ reps where
you‟re doing repetitions in a very narrow range of motion, or „squeezing‟ repetitions
where you‟re squeezing hard through the fists and the forearms or the legs to a elicit a
burning response. The same two hormones, testosterone and human growth hormone, are
involved with that.
Whereas the heavy component is more about testosterone, this burning component is a
little more about human growth hormone. So you can see where it‟s slowly progressing
you from the heavy component to the burning component. And by the time you get to
Phase 3, we‟re going to ramp up that heavy component and burning component a little bit
more, but we‟re especially going to kick in the breathless component. And isn‟t that
funny, because most people, when they start exercise, they go right after the breathless
component, don‟t they? They go run and they go job, which only works the breathless
component.

What we‟ve done in Phase 1 and Phase 2 is prime the body, so not only are you burning a
huge amount of fat during Phase 1 and Phase 2, but by the time you get to Phase 3, we‟re
really going to have ramped up this Metabolic Aftershock response so you can really
reprogram your metabolism and get the most out of your workouts.

And so really quick again, what you want to pay attention to in all these workouts, is the
B‟s and the H‟s, breathless, burning, heavy and heat. Phase 1 is about more of the heavy
component, Phase 2 will be more of the burning component and then in Phase 3 you‟re
going to get to that, sort of, breathless component.

And what is going to happen here is a couple things. I just want to key you guys into a
little bit about the physiological changes that you‟re going to be experiencing. In each of
your muscle cells you have little energy factories called mitochondria. And these
mitochondria are what are responsible for burning the fat that you release when you
exercise. And it‟s really interesting because these mitochondria themselves can get out of
shape.

And so what you want is you want them working at a very fast pace so that when you
release fat from the fat cells, that when they get to the mitochondria they can be burned
efficiently. Now, what is going on with many of you is that your mitochondria are not as
efficient at burning fat as you would like or we would like. And that‟s why we have to
slowly get these mitochondria to come back on line and to come alive.

And so part of what is going on is the breathless component, the burning component, the
heavy component, the heat component of the B‟s and the H‟s, are releasing lots of this
different signaling molecules in the body, things like testosterone and human growth
hormone, but also things like lactic acid and nitric oxide and all these things that we now
know through science help increase the amount of mitochondria and the efficiency of
mitochondria.

And so slowly but surely, we are literally remaking your metabolism to be one that is far
more efficient at burning fat. But we have to do this slowly through each of these three
phases. So hopefully that makes sense to you.
One other thing I‟ll say about human growth hormone and testosterone that might be
interesting for you is that a lot of people obviously know about testosterone and men. It‟s
one of the reasons that men tend to be able to have a little bit more muscle definition and
tend to be able to get a little bit leaner. And what we‟ve made a mistake at doing in the
exercise world, we‟ve made the mistake of assuming, “Well, we should try to get women
to lift like men,” very heavy—and try to get a lot of testosterone release.

Well, the truth of the matter is that women also have a hormone that works like
testosterone which is human growth hormone. Men have it too, but women get a little bit
more of a human growth hormone release from intense exercise. And so what we are
doing with this workout is, rather than just focusing on testosterone which is a mistake
that many trainers make with women, we‟re also going to be focusing on this human
growth hormone benefit, which means women will also get this fat burning effect.

And men, by the way, for you, human growth hormone and testosterone—human growth
hormone makes testosterone work even better. And so this is a really efficient way to
really help women get what they want in addition to bolstering the effects of what men
are looking for as well. So women get more shapely and lean and men get more defined
and loss of body fat as well.

Now, a couple other things and we‟re going to get into questions, I don‟t want to take up
too much time talking to you all about the science, but I do want to make sure that you
understand. It‟s obviously in your Metabolic Aftershock packet, a lot of what I‟m
saying—all of what I‟m saying is in there, but I want to give you a chance to, sort of, hear
how this works and give you a chance to ask questions.

There‟s one other component to these workouts that‟s going to seem, perhaps, a little bit
strange to you. And that is this idea of rest-based training or what we call RBT. Rest-
based training. Most people wrongly assume that rest and work are opposites. But the
two are actually synergists. In other words, rest and work are dependent on one another.
And so the more you rest, the harder you‟re going to be able to work. And the harder you
work the more you are going to have to rest.

And it is exercise intensity, your ability to push yourself into the breathless, burning,
heavy and heat state that high-intensity state, that delivers the B‟s and the H‟s, that really
is going to get you the results. And you‟re not going to be able to do that effectively
without using rest to your advantage. So that‟s the first reason that rest is employed in
these workouts. Matter of fact, you‟ll hear him saying over and over again, “I love it
when you rest, take your rest. Get back into it when you‟re ready.”

When you rest in this workout, I consider that success. So remember, rest is success.
The wording to remember that I love to use, and you‟ll hear it over and over again in
these workouts, is push until you can‟t rest until you can. In other words, you‟re going to
go hard and then you‟re going to rest hard. Then you‟re going to start again right where
you left off and join the workout when you are ready. That‟s how rest-based training
works.

Many of you have heard of some of the magical properties of interval training. Interval
training is this way of doing exercise where you push for a brief period of time, maybe
one minute. You push hard and then you rest for one minute. And this has been shown
in research to be far superior than other types of exercise where you just try to go out and
pace yourself over and over again, like, when you‟re jogging and things like that.

The problem with interval training is, is that interval training, if you go for one minute
and rest for one minute, that might be too difficult for somebody and actually be
dangerous for someone and it may not be hard enough for someone else. So rest-based
training, pushing until you can‟t, resting until you can, really allows you to individualize
the interval training.

I like to say it‟s like interval training on steroids. It makes the workout more effective
and it makes the workout safer as well. And so rest-based training is going to be what
you employ. Don‟t worry about all the science with rest-based training, it‟s in your
Metabolic Aftershock manual. Just remember in these workouts, rest is success.
Remember, push until you can‟t, rest until you can. That is going to deliver you the best
of all words and the B‟s and the H‟s and get you this really nice Metabolic Aftershock
response. Okay?

So let me talk briefly about just what to expect in terms of the changes that you‟re going
to make. I just want to set expectations about what you‟re going to be experiencing
throughout this process. One of the things that‟s really difficult for people to understand
is how change takes place in the body and in the brain. And what research now shows us,
is that there‟s something that is called the as-if principle.

Now, many of you may have heard of things like The Secret and things like that that
basically tell you if you just think positive thoughts all your wildest dreams are going to
come true. And there is a little bit of truth to that, but there‟s far more truth to when you
take action your body then begins to—and your brain begins to believe that you are that
action-oriented person and then you begin to make changes.

So let me give you an example of how this works. If you ever find yourself during this
program wondering what should you do and how to behave, the best way to think about
this is to behave as if you are an athlete, as if you are in spring training. What would you
be doing in that regard in terms of your exercise and in terms of your eating?

And so obviously, someone who is in spring training, who‟s getting ready to, you know,
go into the season for their sport, they‟re not going to try to go out and do more of what
 their coaches are telling them. They‟re not going to go out and run extra miles and all
that kind of stuff. They‟re going to trust the process along with what the coaches are
telling them. And they may go do some relaxing stuff, like, nice long slow walks or take
a couple hot baths and things like that, but they‟re not going to try to do extra stuff.

So what I want to point out to you guys is that I want you to live by this as if principle.
As if you are now going into spring training camp, trust your coaches, trust what has been
put together for you. You‟re going to see tremendous results, but I do not want you
overdoing it. Because if you overdo it, you may find that you‟re not going to get the
results that you were hoping for if you just rush into this real quickly. We don‟t want you
getting injured. We want this to be something that is really going to change your
metabolism correctly.

And the reason I even bring this up is because you, like me—we‟re all human, right? We
all fall praise on old habits. And many of us think that more is better. And the truth is,
more is not better, better is better. And so what you want to do is be very efficient with
your exercise and think about this as if principle, training just in what we are giving you,
okay?

So I‟m just about ready to open up for questions, but I want to also remind you guys
about the bonus that you get along with this. Make sure you review that bonus. I really
want you guys to watch it. It will give you a lot of answers to your questions. So
hopefully this has been helpful for you in sort of getting you primed on what‟s going to
happen.

And now what I want to do is open up for questions. So I think—are you there, Spencer?
Why don‟t we go ahead and open up for questions and see who‟s got questions for me?

Q: Yeah, absolutely. So if you have a question for Dr. Jay you can just hit *1 on your
keypad and you‟ll pop up in the little moderation list backstage for me. I‟ll call on you
by the last four digits of your phone number, so please listen for that. Just a couple of
things I want to mention real quick. Please think through your question in advance and
keep it concise for Dr. Jay. We‟re going to have a lot of questions. I mean, people are
already popping up like crazy back here. So we‟re going to have a lot of questions.
Please keep it concise.

The other thing I would just like to mention is, you know, really as we mentioned on the
Facebook group, if you have questions about the nutrition portion of this you can contact
us at beta@metabolicaftershock.com. Let‟s keep this focused on the actual Metabolic
Aftershock workout program. So, please, if you have questions for Dr. Jay about that we
can focus on that, we can focus on other kinds of questions, nutrition-related information
and so forth under separate cover.
 So with that said, Dr. Jay, are you ready for me to bring the first person in here?

A: Yeah, let‟s do it.

Q: All right. I am going to start with caller ending in 3021. Hi, there. You‟re on with Dr.
Jay.

Q: Hello, this is Mike. I just wanted to know how soon before you start the Aftershock
program do you—should you stop eating?

A: Let me make sure I understand you, Mike. Are you talking about pre-workout eating,
you know, like, what—are you talking about when you should have your last meal before
you work out?

Q: Yes.

A: Okay. Typically the research shows in that area that really about 60 minutes prior to is
probably a good rule of thumb. And this is going to vary. One of the things you guys
will find, by the way, if often times when we talk about health and fitness type stuff,
sometimes it‟s going to vary, so I want you to filter everything through, sort of, what you
know about your metabolism, your psychology and your personal preferences.

But in general, about 60 minutes is when you want to, sort of, stop eating. And the best
thing to eat around that time is probably going to be, like, a little piece of protein or
something like that, not a real heavy meal is what I‟m getting at here, so something
relatively light. You‟ll know you‟ve gotten it correctly when you have high energy
during the workouts, okay?

We don‟t want you feeling nauseous because you ate too much, but we want you to feel
nice and light and be able to get through the workout, so hopefully that answers it for
you.

Q: Yes, thanks.

A: Thanks, Mike.

Q: Great. Okay. Next caller is phone number ending in 9399. You‟re on with Dr. Jay.

Q: Hi, I have a question about using the supplement D-Ribose. I know I‟ve taken it before
to help with the lactic acid and I wondered if I would take that, would it interfere with the
weight loss then?

A: There‟s no indication that taking D-Ribose is going to interfere with your weight loss at
 all. So you should be absolutely fine with that.

Q: Okay. Thank you.

A: Yeah.

Q: Okay. Great. So next caller is phone number ending in 4214. You‟re on with Dr. Jay.
Caller ending in 4214, are you there? Okay. We‟ll move onto the next caller then. How
about caller number ending in 4696? Hello, caller 4696?

Q: Hello, my name is Pam and I have MS. So I have some physical limitations and I
wondered, like, I can‟t get up and down off the floor. And today I was using the bed for
some of the other exercises. Is that going to be okay for me?

A: Yeah, Pam. I mean, so that‟s exactly right. You know your body and obviously you
know your limitations. And the idea—and this goes for everyone on the line because I‟m
sure there‟s going to be some people on the line who probably have a similar question to
Pam—this workout is done in such a way that you‟re going to learn, that‟s why these
biofeedback signals, Pam, are you important, the B‟s and the H‟s.

So as long as you‟re getting those effects and you‟re feeling those, then you should feel
free to alter this to your, sort of, fitness level and your abilities. You will still be getting
benefit.

Q: Okay. And I‟m hoping to gain some strength and be able to do them better in the future.

A: Exactly. So I think that use your judgment, like I said, filter it through your own personal
preferences, your abilities. Just make sure you get those B‟s and the H‟s. And you‟ll
hear me constantly, sort of, queuing you on that throughout this program.

Q: All right. Thank you very much.

A: Thank you, Pam.

Q: Okay. Next caller is caller ending in 0189. Are you there?

Q: Yes, hi. My name is Mary and I haven‟t received a DVD yet, so maybe this will be
answered, but I have a—kind of a two-part question. First of all, does it matter what time
of day we exercise? And secondly, when I read it says 15 minutes three times a day, does
that 15 minutes, like, stop if you‟re at a rest period or should we be exercising the 15
minutes and then, you know, going longer if the rest takes longer?

A: Yeah, so let me make sure I got your two questions. One is about—I‟ll take the last one
 first, one is about the 15 minutes. You will be exercising in 15 minutes period. It‟s a
finite start and stop time. So after 15 minutes are up, you are done exercising. All of
your rest happens within that 15 minutes. So in other words, you‟re going to push, rest,
push, rest, push, rest throughout that 15 minutes and then your workout is done. You do
not go longer.

So basically the clock goes and the workout ends, you‟re done—whether you exercise for
five minutes and rested for ten or whether you exercise for 12 and only rested for three.
The great news about that, Mary, is what will happen is, let‟s say, when you start this you
can go five minutes hard, but the rest of the 15 minutes you are resting. What you‟ll see
is very quickly you‟ll be able to see your body begin to, sort of, catch up and you‟ll be
able to see your progress. But yes, it is a defined start and stop. Once the 15 minutes are
up, you‟re done. Take as much rest as you need within that and push hard, rest hard.

And what was your first question again, Mary, just so I‟m clear on it?

Q: The time of day, like, should we be exercising when we first get up or does it matter if we
do it before bedtime or…? Because I work long hours and I‟m not a morning person, but
I didn‟t know if time of day mattered with this.

A: Yeah, the best time to exercise is the time you can be most consistent with it. And so do
not get so caught up—there‟s certainly research that shows certain times and this and
that, but that‟s mostly applicable to elite athletes and those who are doing this kind of
work. It‟s really about when can you do it? You‟re going to benefit, so whenever you
can be most consistent and you enjoy it, that‟s when I would do it.

Q: Okay. Thank you.

A: Thank you.

Q: Hey, Dr. Jay, I also just wanted to confirm with you, it‟s 15 minutes three times per
week, correct? I believe the caller said 15 minutes three times per day, but that‟s not
correct, is it?

A: That‟s not correct, yes, I‟m glad you clarified that. Yes, it‟s 15 minutes three times per
week. Each workout is 15 minutes and you‟ll be doing a different workout one time,
three times per week. So it‟s 15 minutes maybe on Monday, then another 15 minute
workout on Wednesday and then a final 15 minute workout on Friday.

Q: Perfect. Okay. Great. So we‟re moving onto the next caller here. This is caller ending
in 6623. You‟re on with Dr. Jay?

Q: Hi, my name is Mary. I was calling to find out when the nine weeks is over, will these
 exercises still work?

A: When the nine weeks are over will the exercise still work? Absolutely, Mary, they will.
And what‟s beautiful about this method, by the way, for everyone on the line, is that this
method can be used over and over and over again, so you‟re really getting, sort of, a great
value with these workouts. Because just like I said, what happens with this is because
you‟re doing this rest-based style, what you‟ll find is that your body will let you push
even harder as you get in better shape.

So it‟s sort of this feed forward, positive cycle. In the beginning you‟re going to be, sort
of, self-limited, because all of you won‟t be able to go to your full level, which is what
makes this very safe, the B‟s and the H‟s are sort of, like, brakes for your metabolism.
When you get too breathless or your body gets too burning or the weight gets too heavy,
you‟ll need to stop and rest. You‟ll rest and then start again right where you left off. But
what will happen is as you get in better shape, you‟ll just push even that much harder.
And the same workouts will provide the same benefits.

And so you can use this over and over and over again even after the nine weeks.

Q: Okay. Thank you.

A: Yeah.

Q: Okay. Next caller is caller number ending in 3131.

Q: Hi, this is Marcia. And I got my DVD‟s or CD‟s and there are three workouts, 1A, 1B
and 1C.

A: Yup.

Q: Do I do 1A each of the three days in the first week or do I do 1A on Monday, 1B on

Wednesday and 1C on Friday?

A: Yes, that‟s a great question. The second option, 1A on Monday, 1B on Wednesday, 1C

on Friday and then repeat that again the next week and then repeat it one more time on
the third week and then you‟re onto Phase 2.

Q: Got it. Okay. Part two of my question, back to when to exercise, is it going to be
harmful if I exercise on an empty stomach as soon as I wake up in the morning?

A: Yes, all these kinds of questions that you guys are going to have, the best time to
exercise—so long as you are feeling energetic and you‟re able to plow through your
workouts and have good energy, then that is going to be just fine. So let your body tell
 you. There might be even some advantages to that. But the idea is that you want to
exercise when you have good, high quality energy and can get through the workout.

So if you find that you‟re—the term we like to use „bonking‟—where you‟re getting, sort
of, lightheaded or any of those kinds of things—that might not be the best idea. But yes,
many people can find that they can do that and it works just fine. That‟s another benefit
to the short intense exercise over the really long duration exercise. I might have a
different answer for you if you were out going for a90-minute run, but when you‟re doing
15 minutes, you know, sort of, high-intensity stuff like this, you should be just fine.

Q: Thank you so much.

A: Yeah, thank you, Marcia.

Q: Okay. Our next caller is caller ending in 6738. You‟re on with Dr. Jay. Caller 6738, are
you there?

Q: Yes, hi. This is Casey. I don‟t have my DVD‟s yet, so again, this may be covered in
there, but it sounds like we‟re supposed to maybe exercise one day, day off a day? So I
have some travel coming up and I‟m trying to figure out how to get my three workouts in,
like, every [inaudible 38:27]. I don‟t have the DVD‟s, I‟m just trying to figure out how
to get my three workouts in.

A: Yeah. Great question, Casey. And so here‟s—for everybody on the line that‟s a little bit
worried about this—the ideal way to do this and the way you should be doing it is a
Monday, Wednesday, Friday approach, having one day off in between. However,
especially during this first week, some of you may not yet have your DVD‟s or you may
be traveling like Casey, just get the workouts in. Even if you have to do three back-to-
back. It‟s not going to kill you, but we prefer that you do Monday, Wednesday, Friday
and give yourself plenty of rest in between. Does that make sense, Casey?

Q: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

A: Okay. Good luck.

Q: Thanks.

Q: Okay. Caller ending in 1234? You‟re on with Dr. Jay.

Q: Hi, this is Cameron. And going back to the answer you gave a little while ago about the
defined 15 minute exercise time that—just 15 minutes whether you‟re resting more or
resting less, but then I‟m wondering what is in your day-today activities? Let‟s say you
end up having to do a lot of walking.
A: Mm hmm. Yeah, I‟m so glad you asked this…

Q: Or you‟re lifting things or you‟re doing thing that are physically exertive for, you know, a
sustained amount of time.

A: Yeah, I‟m really happy you asked this, Cameron, because I‟m sure it‟s a question that
everyone has. And so it gives me a full opportunity to define for everyone the difference
between movement and exercise. So the idea is we all should be moving more and you
should be able to move, you know, throughout the day. We all should be doing that. As
a matter of fact, research shows that people who move more just throughout the day,
throughout activities of daily living, probably do better than someone who doesn‟t move
at all but then just does, you know, a short bout of exercise.

So we do want you moving. We just don‟t want you doing any other formal exercise. So
you might say, “Well, Jay, what is the definitely of moving?” Moving is anything that
helps you get from Point A to Point B or is required for activities of daily living, right?
So out gardening, out moving boxes, out doing stuff like that, stuff that you do at your
job, walking around the block, things like that—those things are all movement and
certainly can feel free to do all of that. In fact, it‟s beneficial—activities of daily living or
transportation? That‟s movement, right? Exercise is a defined structured routine, like, a
class at a gym or, like, a session with weights or, you know, something like that.

And so what we want you to do is certainly move. Moving is great, but don‟t do any
other defined exercises or classes or anything like that. The only exercise you will do
will be the Metabolic Aftershock DVD‟s. Moving is fine. Is that distinction helpful,
Cameron?

Q: A little bit. And I have two correlating questions—in the manual it talks about a 30 to 60
minute walk. Is that immediately upon completion of the 15 minutes?

A: It certainly could be, but it does not have to be. It can be but it does not have to be. Part
of the reason we focus on walking, and especially, slow walking—sometimes we say,
“Hey, I‟ll go for a walk, it‟s a [inaudible 42:08] because walking lowers corstisol. And it
also has no negative impact on hunger, energy and cravings and things like that. So
certainly that could be a beneficial thing to do after you finish your workout as a, sort of,
cool down. But it‟s not required.

Q: But you could do it at another time and—are you kind of expected to do it—the walking?
Is it more beneficial?

A: Yes, so it is beneficial to move as much as possible is what I‟m saying. But is it required,
no. So you don‟t have to feel like, “I have to do anything extra.” Don‟t feel like you have
 to do anything extra by the Metabolic Aftershock workouts. However, any activities of
daily living or move from—walking from Point A to Point B, certainly are going to be
beneficial. It certainly can be more beneficial. So we all want o move more. We don‟t
want to necessarily exercise more.

Q: There‟s a fine line between the two and for example, I‟m on vacation and my kids are
going to go zip-lining tomorrow. And my husband and I are required that we have to
walk the route. It‟s a three-hour walk. I‟m not doing it as exercise, but I‟m just…

A: That‟s movement. That‟s right, that‟s movement. And even if you were going on the zip
line with the kids, still movement, right? It‟s just activities of daily living, right? So a
routing, like…

Q: Going to the gym and workout out with weights or…?

A: That‟s right, or doing a class. That‟s different.

Q: Formal exercise?

A: Yes, exactly.

Q: Okay. That answers my question, thank you.

A: Thanks, Cameron, good luck.

Q: Thanks.

Q: Okay. Next caller is ending in 4001. You‟re on with Dr. Jay?

Q: Hello?

Q: Caller 4001? Are you there?

Q: Hello?

Q: Hi, we hear you.

Q: Hi, this is Stacy.

A: Hi, Stacy.

Q: And I—two things, I haven‟t gotten my DVD‟s and I‟m leaving on vacation tomorrow
 for two plus weeks. So I obviously won‟t have any—I don't know what to do for the
exercises during that time, I guess, besides walking.

A: Hm-hmm. [Affirmative.] What I would do, Stacy, and maybe Spencer, you can jump in
her as well, just go ahead and e-mail beta@metabolicaftershock.com and see what they
suggest for you in that regard.

Q: Okay. I‟ll do that. And then the second question is, I took my pictures. I took a from
picture and a side picture. Was I supposed to take a rear picture also?

A: We‟re just recommending you do the front and side, if you have the rear picture, great.

Q: No, I haven‟t. No, I just didn‟t take it, but I was wondering if that was required, so…

A: Yeah.

Q: Okay. Great. Thank you. I‟m so excited about this program. Thank you very much.

A: We‟re excited you‟re excited, Stacy. Good luck.

Q: Thank you.

Q: Yeah, Stacy, and just to confirm, yeah, please e-mail us at

beta@metabolicaftershock.com wherever you‟re staying for your vacation, whether it‟s a
hotel or house or whatever. We‟ll make sure that we get the program to you one way or
another.

Q: Great. Thank you.

Q: Thank you. Okay. Next caller is going to be phone number ending in 2019. You‟re on
with Dr. Jay.

Q: Hello, my name is Connie.

A: Hey, Connie.

Q: I have a question about exercise. I have been training for bicycling. I just did MS150
last weekend

A: Hm-hmm. [Affirmative.]

Q: And I wanted to go into triathlon training which is bicycle and swim. So you‟re saying I
should not do that over the nine weeks? Because I‟m already in condition for it.
A: Yeah, what I would suggest, Connie, again, you may want to also e-mail
beta@metabolicaftershock as well and see if this is going to be a good time for you to do
this, because to get the best results and to see how you are progressing, it is best that you
do nothing but the Metabolic Aftershock. What you were talking about is definitely
going to count as extra exercise. Now, you may still qualify, you might want to just talk
to the group and see if that, sort of, qualifies or disqualifies you to be involved.

Q: Okay. Thank you.

A: Thank you so much.

Q: Okay. Next question is from phone number ending in 6885. You‟re on with Dr. Jay?
Hello, phone number ending in 6885, are you there? Okay. We‟ll move onto the next
caller. This is caller phone number ending in 8579. Hello, you‟re on with Dr. Jay?

Q: Hello?

A: Hi, we hear you. Hello?

Q: Hello, caller 8579, are you there?

Q: Yes, hello. My name is James.

A: Hi, James.

Q: Yeah, you sort of answered this already—I‟m a Pilates instructor and a yoga instructor
and I do do the workouts sometimes as I teach in a class setting. Yoga and Pilates is a
little less stressful than other forms of exercises and I was wondering if that was going to
have any affect?

A: Yeah, James, really great question. I mean, especially restorative yoga is very much like
leisure walking. It does lower cortisol, it could be beneficial to go along with this. And
so really you‟re kind of getting the point—that‟s a good point that you‟re making.
Ultimately what we want is we want this to be your strenuous, stressful type of exercise
and we don‟t want any more strenuous or stressful type of exercise. We prefer either
relaxing restorative or just activities of daily living.

And so you, just sort of taking it very easy with Pilates and yoga, may actually be able to
do this just fine. Does that make sense? You still may want to check with us just to
make sure with the Beta program, but I actually think in your case with the, sort of, very
relaxing, moderate, you know, sort of—not even moderate, but low intensity, relaxing
stuff you should be fine. I would encourage you though, if you can during this time to,
 sort of, make sure that you do your best not to be engaged in the workouts in any real
meaningful way and instead focus your attention on, sort of, coaching and training if at
all possible.

Q: Right. I have another question too, I am a Paleo eater and I only eat when I‟m hungry.
But what that means is that I don‟t eat on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. [Inaudible
49:30] I‟m not hungry for 24 hours. It‟s really easy for me, that‟s not difficult at all,
though most people are horrified when I say that. And that‟s just my normal way of
eating. So I‟m wondering if I need to do anything different about that?

A: And you know, so for all of you who have these kinds of questions in particular, things
like diet and your particular, sort of, exercise regimes and things like that—if you have
serious questions about participating, make sure you e-mail us and get a, sort of,
understanding of does it qualify you or disqualify you? However, I would say this in
regard to all of our varied eating habits and things like this as it pertains to exercise.

So long as the exercise session you can perform well, you‟re not bonking or getting low
energy or having hypoglycemia or any of those kind of things and your hunger, energy
and cravings, sort of, stay in check so to speak, it should be just fine, especially for
someone like you who is, you know, accustomed to this approach. Essentially, what
we‟re wanting is we‟re wanting you to, sort of, carry out your normal approach to living
and then add these Metabolic Aftershocks in as your primary exercise so that we can see
the impact they make.

Q: Great.

A: Thanks so much.

Q: Thank you.

Q: Dr. Jay, if I might add—I‟d just like to add for those people who do have these questions
about nutrition and so forth, these kinds of very specific issues, we have several
nutritionists who are helping us consult within the Facebook group and at
beta@metabolicaftershock.com. We‟re happy to relay those questions up to Dr. Jay if we
need to and so forth. So please, you know, if you do have those kinds of questions that
you need answers on, feel free to use the resources that we‟ve developed for you to
support you during this program so that you can get those answers that you need. Okay.
Let‟s do the next caller. Looks like we have phone number ending in 5861. You‟re on
with Dr. Jay?

Q: Yes, Dr. Jay, my name‟s Don. Just a quick question, what are the metrics that you expect
to draw out of this beta test over the course of the next nine weeks or so? A pound a
week? A pound and a half a week? What are the expectations?
A: Yeah, Don, great question. Part of the reason why we really want all of you guys to use
the Excel tracking spreadsheet, you know, this is a really varied question obviously,
because all of us are going to be a little bit different. But typically, on a nine-week
program like this, you can expect typically with, you know, the exercise component—
many of you can expect anywhere from a three to 10 pound, that‟s going to be the
average, sort of, weight loss in this timeframe—and also probably in the range of one to
five inches. And we typically look at the waist area when I do this in my clinic.

Now, obviously we‟re hoping some of you do much better than that, but that‟s probably
typically where you‟re going to want to be. In general it really is about a one to two
pound weight loss per week when the body is burning fat at its maximum. But with a
workout like this as well, you‟ll get some—because it really helps sensitize the body to
insulin. You also get a little bit of a water loss as well. And so it can actually go a little
bit beyond that, if that makes sense, Don?

Q: Yeah, that‟s great. Thanks.

A: Yup, thank you so much.

Q: Okay. Next caller is phone number ending in 3021. You‟re on with Dr. Jay? Hello,
phone number ending in 3021, are you there?

Q: I‟m sorry, can you hear me?

A: Yeah, we got you.

Q: Okay. The question that I had had to do with—I lost my train of thought.

A: Don‟t worry about it. That happens to me all the time.

Q: Oh, good, I thought it was just my age. It really had to—I can‟t even think of it right
now, now you got me—okay, I‟m going to call back in about two seconds, okay, as soon
as it gets to my head again.

A: Cool, no problem.

Q: Thank you.

A: Yeah, it‟s funny, I do that all the time—for everyone on the line that knows, I suffer from
hypothyroid and so that‟s part of when anyone knows how to deal with hypothyroid and
those kinds of things—sometimes you kind of get that little bit of a brain fog and your
mind shuts off a little bit. So if that ever happens to me, please excuse me. You‟ll know
 why now.

Q: Okay. Do we have any other callers who have questions? Please hit *1 on your keypad
if you do. We‟d like to answer as many callers‟ questions as we can. I think I have one
for the queue. Okay. Somebody popped up here. Here we go. Getting a couple more
now. Good. Okay. Caller number ending in 0374. You‟re on with Dr. Jay?

Q: Hey, Dr. Jay, how you doing? This is George.

A: Hey, George. How‟s it going?

Q: I‟m doing great. I‟ve been in the structured program for about twelve weeks now, three
days of lifting and three days of aerobics.

A: Great.

Q: And I‟ve had good results, I‟ve gotten stronger. But I haven‟t seen any results as far as
losing body fat and belly fat being the worst part. I was committed to that program, I
used Body for Life as my model which worked pretty good.

A: Yeah.

Q: But I‟m going to try to be a good model for you and commit to this program for nine
weeks. So my question is simply on those Tuesdays and Thursdays, would you allow
and accept an aerobic activity such as swimming a breaststroke and stuff like that to kind
of help me work on a hip flexor issue in that situation?

A: I would say that anything that is nice, leisurely and relaxing. What I prefer you do is if
you‟re going to swim, you do it at a nice leisurely relaxing pace as—almost as if you
were, sort of, just hanging out in the pool, just kind of going with the flow, so to speak.
Like, if you were walking your dog or if you were sort of walking with somebody just
looking at the flowers—that‟s how you want to swim as well. And you know, it‟s really
interesting, especially for you if you‟re worried about belly fat.

A lot of times what people try to do is they will try to do extra with belly fat. Now, belly
fat is really interesting because remember we talked about before, for everybody on the
line, you need two things to lose weight, you need a calorie deficit and you need
hormonal imbalance. Well, you also need those same two things to gain weight, calorie
excess and hormonal imbalance.

And when it comes to belly fat, there‟s two hormones involved, insulin and cortisol. And
so what most people will try to do is they‟ll try to cut carbohydrates way down and
they‟ll try to exercise like crazy to take care of insulin, but the metabolism is like a see-
 saw. So as insulin goes down, cortisol comes up. And so what you want to do is you‟re
looking for the Goldilocks point, not too much exercise, not too little exercise, but just
right.

And that‟s what we‟re trying to do with this nine weeks. So what we prefer you do is that
Metabolic Aftershock as your primary exercise. Everything else is restorative and
relaxing, including the swimming. So jumping in the pool and trying to do interval
swims or very long swims for, you know, for performance benefits and things like that—
that‟s out. If you‟re going to get into the pool and just really sort of, take it easy, that‟s a
whole different ballgame. Then it becomes very restorative, does that make sense?

Q: Absolutely. So you‟ve got me for nine weeks, so I‟m excited to get started. I just turned
64. I‟ve got to get myself back into shape. I used to be a runner a long time ago, but now
I just want to be around for my grandkids.

A: I‟m excited. I think you‟re going to love this program. I‟m excited to see how it does for
you. [Inaudible 57:48]

Q: Excellent, thank you so much. Thanks for the call.

A: All right. Take care.

Q: Thank you.

Q: Okay. Next caller is caller ending in 3284. You‟re on with Dr. Jay?

Q: Hi, my name is Tammy. I had a question—I haven‟t received my DVD‟s yet, so I

haven‟t had a chance to look at the exercise program, but I‟ve done Insanity before,
P90X, that type of thing, and found that it was a little rough on the knees and ankles. I
could do it, but I‟m 51 and trying not to do such—I don't know, high intensity I guess.

A: Yup.

Q: And so I wasn‟t sure, especially this first part, you were saying it‟s kind of, like, a
training program. And you mentioned push-ups and are we doing a lot of burpees? I
don't know what kind of—anyways…

A: The way to think about this Tammy—yeah, I got your point—the way to think about this,
especially in the beginning, it is definitely high intensity but it‟s not high impact. In other
words, you‟re not going to be having a lot of pounding through the joints, okay? So it‟s
going to be high intensity for sure, but it‟s not going to be high impact. The other thing
about this particular program is that it is high intensity but it‟s also what we call self-
limited exercise, which means that as much stress and strain as you can muster is what
 you‟re going to be putting on your joints and things.

And that‟s not always the case with some of these other things because if you jump up in
the air doing something, like, Insanity or something like that, you‟re going to land back
down three to four times the force of your body. So those are much greater forces that
you can muster on your own.

Much of what we‟re doing in this particular program is really attacking these muscles in a
different way, through pulses, through holds, through squeezes. We‟re not doing a whole
lot of the impact stuff, especially in the beginning. We get your joints ready for that.
You‟ll see some of that stuff cropping up in Phase 3, but not necessarily here in the
beginning. Here in the beginning you‟re going to be seeing a lot of strength-based stuff.
These will not be things where you‟re doing lots of explosive moves. Instead, you‟re
going to be doing things like push-ups, things like squats, things like in-place lunges,
things like batmans and things like that, where you‟re squeezing and holding and those
types of things, but not where you‟re really stressing and straining and jolting the joints.

You really won‟t see that much in this particular program. You will see it much more
when we start to incorporate some of the metabolic changes in Phase 3. But by that time,
Tammy, you‟re going to be ready for that and your joints will be ready for that, versus
just attacking you with a bunch of jumping and skipping and slamming and pounding. I
hope that makes sense.

Q: Yes, that does and thank you. Yeah, I think—I did it quite a bit last year and then the last
nine months or so I think I just burned myself out and even the thought of putting one of
those tapes in again, it‟s like, “Oh.” You know, I don‟t really want to do that.

A: Yeah, I think you‟ll find this a lot gentler from that point of view, but I think you‟ll find
the intensity the same. And what you‟ll find really quickly, and all of you on the line
should really pay attention to this, what you‟ll find really quickly is you get to, you get to
generate the intensity. These will be intense on their own, but it‟s self-limited in that you
get to generate the intensity up to your tolerability. And that‟s why rest-based training is
so effective. And so I think you‟ll find this much different—a way of attacking this than
those particular programs.

Q: And that‟s great. I‟m really looking forward to that because I didn‟t see what I‟m hoping
to see in this program as far as changes in my body. I saw some toning, but no weight
loss and for as much as we were extending and putting out, it was kind of discouraging.
So I‟m looking forward to see that this program is different and we can do just as much
and see the changes without killing ourselves.

A: Yeah, absolutely, Tammy. I‟m excited to have you and I‟m looking forward to working
with you.
Q: Thank you.

Q: Okay. We‟re coming up on the end of the call here, but I got another caller on, phone
number ending in 4243. You‟re on with Dr. Jay?

Q: Hi, my name is Florence and I was able to do the exercises today. My question is
specifically when I was doing push-ups, I could tell when I had no more energy and I
needed to stop, I understood that. But there are times when I‟m doing my push-ups and I
was just feeling like I was running out of steam and I was going really slow, it‟s okay to
keep on going even though I‟m going really slow or am I at the point where I should just
go ahead and stop and wait until I rest more, until I have more energy? Because I know
slow exercise is good for the muscles, but I could really tell—I‟m losing some sting here,
but I wanted to keep going until I was completely exhausted.

A: Yeah, Florence, that‟s a great question and it‟s going to be helpful to everyone else on the
line. The idea here is to go until you can‟t go anymore and then rest until you can, right?
And so what I would do is—it sounds like in your case you started out pretty fast, you
know, and kind of moving good and hopefully you‟re keeping good quality form, but
then as you start to fatigue and the muscles started to strain you started slowing down.
But at some point you‟re not going to be able to go anymore at all.

And so I think that‟s a particularly good way to do this. Start fast, move into more of a
slow pace until your body gives completely out, either because your body just gets too
heavy or the burning gets too much. Then stop, take as many deep breaths as you want
and get back into the workout as soon as you‟re ready.

So everyone is going to be a little different, some people will go fast and then rest and
then fast and then rest. Other people will go fast, slow and then rest. Some people just
start out slow and then rest. Some people will want lots of short little rests, other people
will take fewer longer rests. And so feel free, all of you, to adjust the way you take your
rests and the way you optimize your pushing component into your individual nature.

So I think, Florence, the way you did that is perfect. It sounds like it worked for you, so I
would continue doing it just that way. The idea is push until you can‟t, rest until you can,
and don‟t get caught up too much in how fast or how slow you‟re going. Just adjust until
you can‟t do anymore and then rest until you can get back into it. I hope that makes
sense.

Q: Yes, it does. Thank you.

A: Yup.
Q: Okay. Dr. Jay, that‟s our last caller who has a question. But I had a couple of things that
I was hoping you could address for the group.

A: Sure.

Q: One of them is—I noticed on the DVD‟s there are, like, these modifications that you
have, like, one of the trainers is kind of a beginner, one‟s intermediate, one‟s advanced.
Could you give the group some tips on how to follow up with that, how to model their
exercises based on those different options?

A: Yeah, I‟m glad you brought that up, Spencer. It‟s a really important point. What we‟ve
done for you in this workout and for all of you on the line, is that obviously there‟s going
to be all kinds of different people. You‟ve already heard this, some people are more
beginners and have some physical limitations. Other people are, you know, sort of
advanced in exercise and this is another thing that they‟re going to be doing.

Throughout the workouts you have three trainers to queue off of. There will be a
beginner trainer in each workout, an intermediate trainer that tends to be in the middle
and then an advanced trainer. And they will be taking some of the default options—some
of these trainers will be defaulting to more advanced movements and you can key off that
advanced trainer. And then the other trainers will be defaulting to more of the beginner
versions. So there will always be a beginner trainer, they‟ll always be an advanced
trainer and they‟ll always be an intermediate trainer. And that will be apparent to you
when you do the workouts.

So feel free based on your fitness levels to queue off of the trainer that most fits your
physical abilities.

Q: That‟s awesome. Thanks so much, Dr. Jay. The other thing that I wanted to just mention
to the group, and maybe you can jump on this too, Dr. Jay—there‟s a great bonus track
on the DVD‟s where Dr. Jay answered a ton of questions about exercise physiology and
biochemistry and so forth.

And I personally encourage each of you to take some time to watch that. Dr. Jay, I don't
know if there‟s anything you‟d like to say about the bonus section, but if you do, you
know, please tell us about that.

A: Yeah, I mean, I think that the most important component here, and it sounds like, just
from the questions that I‟ve gotten, those of you on the line and—you‟re very interested
in the „why‟ behind all of this. And I do think that is important, because what it will do is
it will allow you to, sort of, push a little bit harder and understand what is going on in
your body when you feel breathless or you feel a burning or you feel some of the
straining on your body.
 The bonus section goes through, sort of, more of this. And so obviously you have lots of
different opportunities—these calls are one, but Metabolic Aftershock manual is another.
And then this bonus material really gets at some of the things that you‟re probably
wondering about, how this works and why it works.

And I think you really want to, sort of, understand this. So I really encourage everyone to
make sure you check out that bonus section. And it will cover some of the details we
covered here, but there will be some other stuff in there as well that‟ll teach you some
things about exercise physiology, [inaudible 1:07:42] and they‟re really important, sort
of, as you, sort of, embark on this program. So definitely check it out and I‟m excited to
share that with you guys.

Q: Great. I have one last question for you and that‟s about the burnout section. Can you tell
us about what that is and how it works and why it works and so forth?

A: Yeah, absolutely. This is for those of you who are, you know, sort of, what I call „the
crazy ones‟ of the group who want a little bit extra. Now, this is optional, it‟s not
mandatory, but what we did include is what we call the burnout section.

And this is for—a couple of you had mentioned that you had done things like Insanity
and things like that, this is more along that genre where we‟re using high intensity
calisthenics and we‟re using a little bit more plyometrics and a little bit more advanced
techniques for the body. And it is very powerful and, sort of, making sure that all the fat
we, sort of, released during the workout, which you‟ve now learned is not necessarily
mean you burned it, it just gives you a little bit more of a metabolic kick, helping you
release a little bit more fat, helping you get a little bit more of a metabolic afterburn and
also helping you burn up all the fat you release.

However, I will say this—I do not want you guys to get into thinking that this is
something you have to do. As a matter of fact, for some people who are not yet ready, it
may not be something you necessarily want to do yet. You may want to not do it until
Phase 2 or Phase 3 or at all. So remember, filter this through your own metabolic
tendencies, psychology and personal preferences.

However, those of you who want to do a little bit more and can put in about another five
minutes of activity, it can be very beneficial. But I don‟t want you to make the wrong
assumption that this means more is better. Better is better. And so even that burnout
section was designed a very particular way, not to be too overly stressful and to be short
enough to, sort of, give you benefits without sending you into too much stress.

Q: All right, Dr. Jay. That was an awesome explanation. Thank you so much for taking
your time to meet with this group on this call today. It was a wonderful call. I learned a
 bunch, I‟m sure everybody else did too. I know we all just really appreciate the time that
you took today. Thank you very much.

A: Thanks. I‟m super excited that everyone‟s involved and I‟ll see you guys on the
Facebook group. So good luck and here we go. Good night, everybody.
