What Is The Best Exercise For Weight Loss?
It is a common misconception that aerobic exercise tones and
firms muscles. Actually it accomplishes very little toning and
firming. Resistance exercise (weight training) is where real
toning and firming of muscles occurs.
Doing both...

Will The Real Fitness Hormone Please Stand Up!
WILL THE REAL FITNESS HORMONE PLEASE STAND UP!
New Medical Research shows
high-intensity exercise can
increase the body's natural
production of the fitness
hormone by 530%!
By Phil Campbell, M.S., M.A.,
FACHE
When I completed the research
phase for a health
and fitness book in
2002, the bio-medical research
was complete enough to draw
hard conclusions about the
type of fitness program
that would make your body
increase anti-aging, anti-MIDDLE-aging,
and athletic performance improving
HGH growth hormone
- THE FITNESS HORMONE. However,
the research didn't specifically
test high-intensity sprints
- until now!
NEW LANDMARK RESEARCH
In a new study, researchers
compared HGH growth hormone
levels in several ways - resting
(for a baseline measurement),
after a 6 second cycle sprint,
and after 30 second cycle
sprint. Researchers also measured
growth hormone for
hours afterwards to see how
long HGH stayed in participant's
bodies after exercise, (The
time course of the human growth
hormone response to
a 6s and a 30s cycle ergometer
sprint, 2002, Stokes).
THE RESULTS ARE INCREDIBLE!
The 6 second sprint method
did move HGH some, but didn't
come close to the body's potential
to release this powerful hormone.
The 30 second all-out effort
sprint experiment increased
HGH by 530% over resting baseline
and 450% over the lesser intensity
sprint.
Like earlier research studies,
HGH stayed elevated for 1.5
to 2 hours after the sprinting
program. And according to
the researchers at the University
of VA, the HGH released during
exercise targets body fat
for up to two hours after
training. (Impact of acute
exercise intensity on pulsatile
growth hormone release
in men, 2000, Pritzlaff).
This new research became the
essence of my book; how to
increase HGH through specific
types of fitness training,
and how to keep the fitness
hormone in your body
for two hours after training
going after body fat.
The Synergy Fitness anaerobic
sprint workout can be performed
in many different ways - cycling,
swimming, skiing, running,
XC skiing, or even power walking.
It can be performed in the
gym on an elliptical trainer,
stationary bike, recumbent
bike, or a treadmill.
What ever the method, the
goal is to reach all FOUR
critical HGH-release benchmarks
during fitness training.
This workout multi-tasks aerobic
and anaerobic training during
the same workout, and it takes
about 20-minutes. (Details
in Chapter 8, Accelerating
Growth Hormone Release with
Anaerobics) www.readysetgofitness.com
MAY BE THE MOST POWERFUL HORMONE
IN YOUR BODY
HGH may be the most powerful
fitness improving,
anti-aging (and anti-middle-aging),
body fat reducing, muscle
toning, hormone in
your body. And the FITNESS
HORMONE can be increased by
530% with specific types of
anaerobic fitness training.
Natural is almost always better.
And increasing the Fitness
hormone naturally through
exercise is the NATURAL choice!
