Swat Fuel 9mm and 9mm+P Fat Burners Are The Best
If you are looking for a revolutionary fat burner which provides sustained energy for an entire day and which also works as a potent pre-workout booster, you need to check out 9mm and 9mm+P from Swat Fuel. I am not joking – prepare to be amazed.
I am not easily impressed by sports supplements because there are so many products out there that over-promise and under-deliver. However, I can honestly say that Swat Fuel 9mm and 9mm+P are unique and superior to any other thermogenic fat burners on the market. These products were originally formulated for law enforcement individuals and military personnel to specifically provide sustained stamina and energy which lasts the entire day and does not produce jitters. These products optimize fat metabolism and are excellent for use as pre-workout boosters to maximize your energy and stamina during your lift. Even if you don’t work out, you can count on these powerful formulations to increase energy levels without the usual jitters or crash that many thermogenics cause.
9mm is a powerful thermogenic and pre-workout formula, but if you are trying to lose weight or you want to become ripped, opt for 9mm+P which also contains a natural appetite suppressant.
Prepare to SWEAT LIKE A PIG during your workouts when you take these supplements! Also make sure to hydrate very well when taking either product. Even from the first time I took 9mm, my reaction was one of total surprise. As the sweat poured off me and I noticed that I had laser focus with my lift, I just kept saying, WOW. I was truly blown away, and I continue to be impressed by the fact that this product delivers true to its description.
Every time I take this stuff, I am drenched in sweat about five minutes into my lift. No other thermogenic has ever had this effect on me. What amazes me is that my heart does not race, I do not get the jitters, and my workouts are much more powerful than on the days when I don’t take it.

Discussion On Glute Exercise #1: Reverse Abductor Press
In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number one on the list was the Reverse Abductor Press, which I will describe here.
I chose the Reverse Abductor Press as the number one exercise in the Glute Series because it is the best exercise for tightening up the ham glute tie in, plus it does an incredible job of rounding out the glutes.
You will get on a leg abductor machine (this is the machine that works your outer thighs), but you will face the back support pad instead of resting against it (i.e., backwards). Keep your upper body upright and move your legs out to the sides, sitting into the movement and squeezing the booty as you do this. If you want an extra burn on this you can hold each rep for up to three seconds.
Recommended rep range is 15 repetitions for each leg, 6 to 8 sets total. You can increase your rep range to 20 or 25 to really work your glutes!

Discussion On Glute Exercise #3: Good Mornings
In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number three on the list was Good Mornings, which I will describe here.
Stand with feet close together, holding a barbell behind your head and keeping your back straight. Flex at the hips until your upper body is parallel with the floor, pushing your glutes out and pushing through your heels. Return to start. For those who are unfamiliar with good mornings, the body movement is essentially the same as with deadlifts, but with this exercise, the exertion phase is when you flex at the hips (with deadlifts, the exertion phase is during hip extension when you pull barbell up).
Recommended rep range is 15 to 20 reps, 4 to 5 sets total.

Discussion On Glute Exercise #4: Stiff-Legged Deadlifts
In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number four on the list was the Stiff-Legged Deadlift, which I will describe here.
Stand with feet close together with a barbell on the floor in front of you. Bend forward only at the hips with knees straight (but not locked out) and grab the barbell in front of you with a close grip. NOTE: some lifters like to do an “over-under” grip, where one hand is in an underhand grip while the other is in an overhand grip, but I tend to prefer a bilateral overhand grip. Keep the barbell very close to the body as you extend at hips while driving through the heels and squeezing the glutes as you stand up. When you come back down to the floor, exaggerate pushing your booty out to maximize the stretch in the glutes and hams. Make sure to keep your back straight and do not arch.
Recommended rep range is 12 to 15 repetitions, 5 sets total.

Discussion On Glute Exercise #5: Diagonal Lunges
In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number five on the list was the Diagonal Lunge, which I will describe here.
Hold a pair of dumbbells and stand with feet together. Step with right foot forward and to the right at a 45 degree angle, then return to start. Repeat with other leg. When you step forward, emphasize the heel strike and make sure your body weight drives through the heels.
TIPS: When you step into the lunge, the back knee should almost touch the floor. Also make sure that the front knee does not extend beyond the toes.
This exercise can be done stationary or walking. The difference if you are doing walking diagonal lunges is that after you step forward into the lunge, the back leg will be brought forward as well. You will shift your weight onto the front leg, then step forward with the opposite leg. Basically, you will be making a zig-zag lunge walk across the gym floor.
Recommended rep range is 12 to 15 repetitions, 4 to 5 sets total.

Discussion On Glute Exercise #6: Plie Squat
In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number six on the list was the Plie Squat, which I will describe here.
Hold a dumbbell at the end (not at the handle) between your legs and stand with feet wider than shoulder width apart. Make sure toes are slightly turned out. Flex deeply at the hips and knees so you are squatting low. Avoid hunching or leaning over and keep upper body upright. Keep your heels planted on the floor and emphasize pushing into them during the movement while squeezing your glutes in the resting phase. VERY IMPORTANT: when you come up, do not come up all the way, but only halfway so you are still engaged in a squatting movement throughout the set.
Recommended rep range is 12 to 20 repetitions, 4 to 6 sets total.

Discussion on Glute Exercise #10: Bench Hip Raise
In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number ten on the list was the Bench Hip Raise, which I will describe here.
You will need a bench which is what your shoulders and head will rest on during the exercise. Your body will be perpendicular to the plane of the bench surface. Plant your feet on the floor about shoulder width apart and knees bent to 90 degrees so that your thighs are parallel to the floor. Place a weight plate (I usually use a 45 pound plate but you should start with a lower weight until you feel comfortable with this move) on your thighs. This is your starting position.
Flex at the hips so that you sink down with your glutes almost touching the floor, then come back up while squeezing your glutes to return to the starting position.
Recommended rep range is 10 to 15 repetitions, 4 to 5 sets total.

So Tickled To Be Included in this Live Show on RxMuscle!
What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
I have had a surprisingly large number of people ask me what makes me tick, and what my ultimate goals are. The problem I have had throughout my life is that I am a chronic overachiever and want to try everything that I believe I may have a talent in. My biggest life interests outside of medicine and fitness are listed below.
Drawing, Illustration, Painting
Graphic Design
Crafts of all kinds
Knitting and Crocheting
Modeling (print, commercial, fashion, swimsuit, fitness, glamour, runway)
Acting
Fashion Design
Personal Assisting
Makeup Artistry
However, my BIGGEST passions lie in the fields of medicine and fitness. From the time I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, I have been completely committed to fitness and leading by example. My medical degree is another feather in my cap which increases my knowledge and my influence, but I always strive to combine all my talents and interests together as much as I can in order to lend a number of perspectives on health, wellness, anti-aging and fitness.
My ultimate goals in medicine and fitness are to:
1) Have my own TV show. A couple of years ago I began stating that I wanted to become the female version of Dr. Oz. I said this in jest at first, then when I realized what I was saying, I became more intrigued by the idea until it became one of my ultimate goals. If Dr. Oz can command the attention of women around the globe (viewer demographic appears to be mostly women between their early 20’s and late 60’s), why couldn’t an attractive female doctor in her 40’s who models, competes in a bikini nationally, and who is also highly experienced in aesthetic medicine, nutrition, fitness and anti-aging? Hmmmm…
2) Launch my own specialty skin care line. I have wanted to do this ever since I held the position of Director of Cosmetic Research at a Los Angeles area hospital. Since I am of mixed ethnicity I would love to tailor a line of skincare products and cosmetics towards individuals of multiple ethnicities who have unique concerns.
3) Establish a foothold in the fitness industry as an icon for the over 40 crowd. This is also HUGE for me, whether it manifests via workout content, products which are sold with my name or endorsement on them, or even a specific show on television or the internet.
4) Design women’s fitness apparel and swimsuits with a distinctive edge. I have yet to see clothing and swimsuit designs which incorporate the design elements I have always wanted to see and which are edgy and appealing. The only thing that has been my real stopping point here is that I cannot stand sewing!
What do I want to be when I grow up? Lots of things! I will keep my nose to the grindstone to make these goals and dreams manifest.
