A good friend of mine, Brynne, who is an actor living in Manhattan, sent me this video he shot one day in the big apple. I thought the angry security guards were funny so I wanted to share it with you all.

It’s Finally Here!
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010After a very labor intensive process, my first ‘hard-copy’ book was finally released today, January the 6th, 2010.
When I got into the fitness industry I had no idea that my name would ever end up on the cover of a book. But I have to admit, it is kinda cool to walk into a book store and see my work sitting there on the shelf – I feel like a proud parent.
But more importantly, having this book released allows me the opportunity to reach an even greater audience and help even more women overcome their troubles with problem arms – and that is what this is all about – you the reader.
Thank you to everyone who has already picked up their copy (lots of my fellow Canadians must have gotten up nice and early to get their copy because Amazon.ca was already back-ordered this morning), and to those that haven’t yet, I don’t often ask for much – but if you can afford the 10 bucks for a copy – your support means a great deal to me – so thank you in advance.
The fitness book market is very competitive – and the more support this book receives – the more likley I will be able to publish another in the future.
Thanks again to each one of you - I did this for you, so I hope you enjoy it and put it to good use.

Go Sleeveless DVD On The Horizon

Go Sleeveless DVD Coming Soon
With the upcoming release of Totally Toned Arms – Get Michelle Obama Arms in 21 Days, my arm sculpting secrets will be available for the first time in hard-copy format.
But this got me thinking – why stop there?
A Go Sleeveless DVD set is one of the most common requests that I get. Some women don’t like reading on their computer or printing out an ebook on their own. Some need more instruction than just step-by-step photos, and some don’t want to read a book at all – they want to be shown what to do in person.
So that’s why I am seriously considering manufacturing a Go Sleeveless follow-along DVD set.
But before I go ahead and start filming and creating inventory – I need to know if there is any real interest in this product. I don’t want to get stuck with a bunch of expensive inventory collecting dust in my office.
So if you are interested in getting an arm toning and sculpting system that you can do in the comfort of your own home, and you want me to show you in person exactly how to do it through the use of DVDs, then please leave a comment below and let me know.
If there is enough interest, this could be ready to go in early January – so we’re not talking about a big time delay here at all.

PS. You now have officially less than one week to grab your copy of the Go Sleeveless Lite package before it’s gone for good and the price goes up to $77 again. Remember, this is part of my non-competing book contract, so once January first hits and my new book is released you won’t be able to get the Go Sleeveless system for less than $77 again. If you are interested, don’t procrastinate. If you forget and miss the deadline, there is nothing I can do about this one – so hurry up!
How to Transform your Body, One Problem Part at a Time
Friday, October 30th, 2009My publisher recently uploaded a new article that I wrote for them. It’s called ‘How To Transform Your Body, One Problem Part at a Time’.
In it, I talk about my methods of re-designing your body by eliminating problem areas.
You can find that on the Rylan Duggan bio page at Hachette Book Group
Let me know what you think.
PS. I think they’re getting pretty excited over there about the upcoming release of New Moon (Stephanie Meyer is one of their authors). My wife has read all of the books, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Are they a good read? Let me know because I’m just finishing up a novel and getting ready to chose my next and I am thinking about diving into the Twilight Saga. I dunno though, maybe to ‘girlie’ for me? Waddaya think?

Michelle Obama’s Shorts Reveal Great Legs: How You Can Get Them Too
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Michelle Obama's Legs
Quite a few months ago, during the height of the Michelle Obama Arms Frenzy, I put together a workout specifically designed to help any women get arms like Michelle Obama. That article caught the attention of some major media players, leading to interviews and features, and eventually, a book deal. In fact, Totally Toned Arms is now available for pre-order on Amazon here…
Totally Toned Arms: Get Michelle Obama Arms in 21 Days
But it seems the world can’t get enough of Michelle O, more specifically, her style of dress and her body.
Now the Internet is abuzz with talk about Michelle’s Obama’s legs. After a recent trip to the Grand Canyon, where Michelle was photographed in shorts that reveal incredibly toned legs, women all over the world are, yet again, asking how she manages to maintain such a great body, with what one can only assume, is an obscenely hectic schedule.
Michelle Obama's Shorts
Legs can be a tricky subject for many women. All women want long and lean thighs, that accentuate height and slimness, while avoiding the dreaded ‘thunder thighs’ that can be so embarrassing. Unlike arms, if you have legs you aren’t happy with, it’s pretty much impossible to conceal them. Adding to the difficulty factor is the fact that women have a predisposition to storing more body fat in their lower body, in addition to a tendency to build muscle in the lower body relatively quickly as well. Have you always found that your lower body is disproportionately strong compared to your upper body? That’s why.
To get lean and sexy legs like Michelle Obama, it takes a very special approach. You must focus on exercises that will burn off the body fat from your legs, while at the same time ensuring that you don’t use machines and exercises that will cause you to increase the girth of your thighs.
A side note: Most ‘leg’ machines in the gym, and in fact, most ‘women specific’ machines, actually cause the legs to bulk up. For example the inner and outer thigh machine, and the total hip machine. These exercises focus on building muscles in areas that you actually want to slim down. These machines need to be avoided at all costs if you want ‘Michelle Obama Legs’!
So what do you do?
Well, if you own the Go Sleeveless Elite package, then you’ve probably come across a special program called the Thunder Thigh Eliminator Program. This is a workout program designed specifically for women to trim away fat from the thighs, with specific emphasis on reducing fat around the knees and inner leg as well. It also focuses on bringing out maximum muscle definition while specifically avoiding exercises known to increase muscle bulk.
If you already have this program, and you want to get legs like Michelle Obama, then its time to crack it open and get started.
Michelle Obama's Legs
However, for those of you who don’t yet have your hands on this program, then here is one of my favorite lower body exercises for women. This is taken directly from the Thunder Thigh Eliminator Program
Scissors
- Lie on your back with your hands out to the side for support.
- Hold a stability ball between your legs, and lift you legs out straight in front of you, keeping your feet from touching the ground.
- Keep squeezing the ball between your legs, then rotate your feet so one is directly above the other, pause, then rotate the opposite direction to switch which foot is on top.
- At this point you may lower your legs back down and rest for a brief moment before beginning your next rep.
- As you improve with this exercise, try to complete more reps without touching your feet down and resting.
- One complete rep is moving one foot from top to bottom to top again.
This is a fantastic exercise for toning the legs, with specific emphasis on the inner thighs. It also works your abdominal muscles like crazy, and will strengthen your lower back in the process. You might not be able to do too many reps to begin with, but start and see what you can get, then build up by one or two a day for about 10 days. While this is only one exercise, and not a complete leg toning program, it’s a great ‘overall’ thigh exercise and will get you started until you can begin the Thunder Thigh Eliminator Program.

Coach Rylan To Author New Book
Monday, June 29th, 2009This is something I have been keeping under my hat for quite a while.
Before I was to let the cat out of the bag I wanted to make sure that everything was moving ahead smoothly, which it is, so now it’s time to unveil what I’ve been working so hard on the past few weeks.
I have just signed a book deal with Grand Central Publishing and Hachette Book Group in New York City to write an all-new, women’s only fitness book.
The topic of the book is going to be, of course, on how to sculpt toned and sexy arms.
Some might ask why I would want to write another book when I’ve already written Go Sleeveless and numerous other E-Books.
Truth be told, there are thousands upon thousands of women who I can’t reach because they don’t have access to a computer, don’t know how to download and read e-books, or just aren’t comfortable purchasing anything over the internet. I have also received stacks of requests from readers who have expressed interest in a hard-copy book as they prefer that to E-Book format.
But instead of just re-release Go Sleeveless in hard-copy format, I’ve decided that this would be a great opportunity to create an entirely new program that would have something to offer readers who are already familiar with the Go Sleeveless System, as well as readers new to my work. The upcoming book will include new exercises, new workouts, and all the latest information to help you get toned and sexy arms.
I will keep you posted on details of when and where you will be able to get this book as we get closer to the publish date, but for now, it looks like you can expect it sometime in early 2010 from all major book retailers.
