This Aerobic Exercise Program Could Change Your LifeIt was about 100 years ago that I was first introduced to my first aerobic exercise program.
Coach Miller
would "suggest" that we jog
around the track for a while,
suddenly break into a sprint for
about 40 yards, and then slow
down to a walk as our lungs
cried out “Please don’t do that
again.”
In the beginning we looked upon this activity as an extreme form of punishment but we later learned that these alternating intensity workouts dramatically improved our energy and performance.
Of the three key exercise variables…how often you exercise, how hard you work and how long you last, intensity has the most powerful effect. Your body responds to short bursts of intensity by releasing a cascade of fat-mobilizing hormones and anti-aging growth hormones that supercharge your metabolism and burn extra calories for 24 hours or longer. Here's a good example of the powerful effect of exercise intensity on heart health. A new study by British researchers tracked 1,975 healthy men over ten years. The men who exercised the hardest had a 47% percent lower risk of death from all causes and a whopping 62% lower risk of death from heart disease, compared with those who reported very little or no intense exercise.
The best part however is that the benefits of this aerobic exercise program were achieved with as little as nine minutes per day of vigorous activity.
It wasn't as much fun as you might think...and started me on a journey to helping others avoid my mistakes. My experience in aerobic exercise programs includes working with hundreds of people in the Vital Life Center, a health and wellness club for the "over 50 crowd. I thought I knew all the right aerobic exercise programs, but after trying Dr. Sears' new PACE® program, it was soon apparent that there was more to learn. This program is
extremely effective and takes far less time than the
"conventional" programs which coax you into spending hours in the
gym to achieve your goals. Our ancient ancestors
didn't run for mile after mile without rest or recovery.
Their exercise was primarily hunting, or on some occasions being
hunted. Their daily exercise "routine" consisted of short bursts of
exertion, followed by periods of very welcome rest. One of Dr. Sears' insights into
how the human heart functions is
the fact that it doesn't need "endurance training." Your
heart was designed to keep beating far into old age. Is Your
Metabolism in Hibernation? As a result,
your body will make and store more
fat to prepare for your next run or aerobic workout -- a
never-ending cycle making it impossible to get rid of that
stubborn fat that never seems to go away. After a few
weeks, your body gets the message that it doesn't need to
store excess body fat at all! The bigger your
lung volume, the longer you'll live and the more energy
you'll have. It's critical for
preventing disease and boosting your immune system. Not to
mention that big lungs transport fresh oxygen to every cell
in your body. Dr. Sears has a very successful medical practice in Florida
and a remarkable track record. He produces results for
thousands of people from around the world. Gene
