Visual Impact Muscle Building – A System Review
Posted by admin in Visual Impact Review on September 13, 2011
Welcome to our website about Visual Impact Muscle Building. This is a review site. 
If you are trying to go to www.visualimpactmusclebuilding.com just click that link and it will take you there directly. If you want to know more about this fitness training system, keep reading.
When my partner first asked me to pick a training system, she made this comment:
“I hope you don’t pick a system that is going to produce massive bulk. The Schwarzenegger type never impressed me, but, Johnny Dep, now that’s a look – mmm hmm. Oh, and, you, too, of course!”
Certainly I agreed.
When I started out, I was sick of being the skinny kid at the pool. You know, the one all the girls looked past instead of at. But, I also noticed they didn’t look at the Mr. Bulks with a look I wanted much either.
If you have looked at the website for Visual Impact Muscle Building, you know that right in the first video the difference in the looks is explained and demonstrated. If you are looking for the big muscle, competitive type body building, this isn’t where you want to be.
This program promotes great body fitness. Not unnatural muscle mass.
Let me tell you right up front here, there’s one thing I think Rusty’s course is missing. It’s videos. There is a difference in seeing something done, and in reading a “how to”. With something like body building, if you don’t quite understand the written word, you can cause damage. With videos, you can view them over and over until you are sure you are getting it right.
But, I have to admit, the photos, and detailed descriptions of the exercises in Randy’s book do a better job than any other book I reviewed.
You can call this buffing-up, 6-packing, beefing, body sculpting, working out, or anything you like. But, don’t call it easy. It isn’t. If it were, you would already be there and never have come on this site. This is going to take work.
Visual Impact Muscle Building never claims to be an overnight system. No promises for “fast” results as I have seen on some sites.
There is a 60 day money back guarantee, but that seems reasonable to me. If you work, and I do mean WORK, at the program, you should see results in 60 days. No finished product, but definite, discernible progress. And I believe this to be true whether you are just starting, or are experienced and working on a specific project.
There is a point about Randy Meyers site in general that I just have to mention, even though it may mean nothing to you. He offers no bonuses. You might prefer to get bonuses. But, when I go looking for something like this, I want information, not yards of testimonials that may or may not be true, and a bunch of bonuses that are just enticement.
Or, sometimes they try to sell you half the program as something special, so it costs more. The Visual Impact Muscle Building doesn’t do that, but it could.
There are 3 separate pieces of this program. They are all included in the under$50 price. As they should be.
If you don’t feel you get value unless you get something for free (which actually isn’t) then go to one of the other sites. Randy Meyers offers real information, and real value.
Which brings me to another point, and for beginners, I think this is important. Randy calls his exercises advanced sometimes, and that would have scared me when I was starting.
Don’t run away. You can do it, because his explanations are clear, and before you even get to the exercises, he has given you an education in what you are doing and the proper way to do things. So, you just apply the beginner status to the exercise, and you’re cool. Not in over your head!
And, if you want bragging rights, there they are! You can do advanced exercises!.
When I started, I didn’t want to tell anyone what I was doing, ’cause I didn’t want the comments; like”about time”, or “where’s the muscle? I don’t see any muscle”. I just kept my mouth shut. And, one day, one of those creeps who might have taunted me, came and asked me a fitness question!
You want to know the best part of that day? I could answer the question! And he had no smart-ass reply!
Fitness Training Can Be Overdone
Posted by admin in Fitness Training Tips on March 12, 2011
vary your training activities
Warning! Warning! You can do more harm than good when working at body building and fitness.
You may find that hard to believe. Many people new to fitness training don’t realize these can be dangerous situations. Don’t get caught up in something that seems harmless, but can bring real trouble in years to come. Read these carefully.
Problem #1. Making each training session too long, or never varying the routine.
Vary your routines, even vary the activity. And limit your sessions to no more than 1 hour.
You will learn the detail of why this is important as you progress through your fitness program. Assuming you have chosen a program that gives you a complete education about fitness, not just a list of exercises.
But, the simple, and totally unscientific explanation is that after about an hour your hormone levels change. When testosterone levels decline, you won’t be building muscle and you can be loosing.
Varying the routine will do 2 things: a) hold off boredom and 2) help keep you concentrating on what you are doing. When a workout routine becomes too “routine” your mind tends to wander and accidents can happen.
Problem #2. Improper diet, and meal skipping.
The Visual Impact Muscle Building system, will help you learn about nutrition and diet. And about supplements. It is a very important part of every fitness regime.
Some newbie mistakes in this category are:
- Skipping meals – could be worse for you than eating “Greasy Joe’s” 15 napkin burger.
- Avoiding all fats – proper nutrition is balanced through all the food groups – you need some fat. Just be sure it is the right kind.
- Watch the supplements. You may want, or even need the boost the proper supplements will give you. But, be diligent. Follow instructions to the letter. This is not a place where ‘if a little is good, a lot is better’! In fact it is just the opposite.
Problem #3. Not getting the proper rest.
Listen to your body and take the days off it needs.
Getting headaches, think maybe a cold is coming on? Got muscle and or joint aches? Wake up in the morning still tired?
You may not be giving your body the tst it needs. Training needs recovery time. You don’t gain by pushing too hard. And you have a lot to loose.
You want to look ripped even at 40 and past, not sidelined for injuries you should have avoided. Don’t get to thinking you know more than you do. Follow your program as it is being taught.
A truly good trainer has written his program as it is, to be the best for you. If you have chosen wisely, trust the program. You will be safe and successful.
You can trust Randy Meyers, whose program we recommend here.

Fitness Training: 5 Elements of a Rounded Routine
Posted by admin in Elements of Training on March 7, 2011
Fitness Training balances five elements of good health. Make sure your routine includes aerobic fitness, muscular fitness, stretching, core exercise and balance training.
Whether you’re a novice taking the first steps toward fitness or an exercise fanatic hoping to optimize your results, a well-rounded fitness training program is essential. Use the five primary elements of fitness training to create a balanced routine.
1. Aerobic fitness
Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio or endurance activity, is the cornerstone of most fitness training programs. Aerobic exercise causes you to breathe faster and more deeply, which maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Th
e better your aerobic fitness, the more efficiently your heart, lungs and blood vessels transport oxygen throughout your body — and the easier it is to complete routine physical tasks and rise to unexpected challenges, such as running to your car in the pouring rain.
Aerobic exercise includes any physical activity that uses large muscle groups and increases your heart rate. Try walking, jogging, biking, swimming, dancing, water aerobics — even leaf raking, snow shoveling and vacuuming. Aim for at least two hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity — preferably sprea
d throughout the week.
2. Muscular fitness
Muscular fitness is another key component of a fitness training program. Strength training at least twice a week can help you increase bone strength and muscular fitness. It can also help you maintain muscle mass during a weight-loss program.
Most fitness centers offer various resistance machines, free weights and other tools for strength training. But you don’t need to invest in a gym membership or expensive equipment to reap the benefits of strength training. Hand-held weights or homemade weights — such as plastic soft drink bottles filled with water or sand — may work just as well. Resistance bands are another inexpensive option. Your own body weight counts, too. Try push-ups, abdominal crunches and leg squats.
3. Stretching
Most exercise causes the muscles to contract and flex.

For balance in your fitness training program, it’s important to stretch those muscles, too. Stretching improves the range of motion of your joints and promotes better posture. Regular stretching can even help relieve stress.
Before you stretch, warm up by walking or doing a favorite exercise at low intensity for five to 10 minutes. Better yet, stretch after you exercise — when your muscles are warm and receptive to stretching. Ideally, you’ll stretch whenever you exercise. If you do
n’t exercise regularly, you might want to stretch at least three times a week after warming up to maintain flexibility. Activities such as yoga promote flexibility, too.
4. Core Exercise
Your core muscles are in the abdomen, lower back and pelvis. They connect upper and lower body movements while protecting the back. Core exercises help train your muscles to brace the spine So what counts as a core exercise? Any exercise that uses the trunk of your body without support, including abdominal crunches. You can also try various core exercises with a fitness ball.
5. Balance Training
You can be strong, flexible and aerobically fit, yet still have poor balance. Training can help you maintain and improve balance. This is important since balance tends to deteriorate with age, which can lead to falls and fractures. Try standing on one leg for increasing periods of time to improve your overall stability. Activities such as tai chi can promote balance, too.
A well-rounded fitness training program is essential. If you incorporate these 5 primary elements of fitness training into your program, you will create a balanced routine.
