If you're like me, you have a hectic schedule with your fitness slow vocation, your household duties, and your family life but you want to stay in shape or get in shape physically. Who has time to go to they gym 3 to 5 times a week or even workout at home. Who has the energy? If that sounds like you fitness slow, I think you will find this article about Slow Burn interesting.
This
article is essentially an overview of the fitness slow book "The Slow
Burn Fitness Revolution - The Slow-Motion Exercise That Will Change Your
Body In 30 Minutes A Week" which was written by Frederick Hahn, Michael
R. Eades, M.D., fitness slow and Mary Dan Eades, M.D. who are,
respectively, a professional exercise trainer, and two pioneers in the
field of metabolic medicine.
What is Slow Burn?
Like
the subtitle of the book says, the fitness slow Slow Burn fitness
regime involves working out once a week for 30 minutes in total. The
goal of the program is to quickly and efficiently build your strength
without injury and without fitness slow the risks that accompany most
other exercise and fitness activities.
How Does Slow Burn Work?
Strength
training improves you fitness slow strength but it also helps your
metabolic health of your muscles as well as the rest of your body. Your
muscular system is the largest system in your body and it contains the
largest network of fitness slow blood vessels (your vascular system) in
your body. Improving muscle health improves vascular health.
Your
muscle mass is the largest factor in determining the fitness slow rate
that calories, in the form of sugar and fat, your body burns for fuel.
More muscle means faster burning of calories, even at rest.
But
as we age, the body loses muscle mass. This occurs slowly at fitness
slow first but faster as we grow older - up to 40% of our muscle mass.
As a result, we lose strength, we grow proportionately fatter, and we
burn calories at a slower rate. To slow and fitness slow reverse this
process we need to partake in a proper strength training program. As I
mentioned previously, not only will this improve your strength fitness
slow, it will also improve your vascular system, lower your fat,
increase your calorie burning, and improve the functioning of the other
organs in your body.
The
Slow Burn program is different from other weight training programs in
that it involves slow movements, low repetitions, and complete fatigue
of the muscles in a short period of fitness slow time.
There
are four different types of fitness slow muscle fibers: slow-twitch
fibers (the smallest), two types of intermediate-twitch fibers (slightly
larger and faster), and fast-twitch fibers (the biggest and fastest).
These different types of muscle fibers have fitness slow different roles
in the body. The big fast-twitch fibers are designed for situations
that require explosive power of short duration. The slower fibers are
more for endurance fitness slow. We all have some of each fiber type in
our muscles and the ratios (based on our genetics) vary by type of
muscle and from person to person.
Following
the Slow Burn method, all the fitness slow different muscle fibers will
be strengthened. In traditional weight training, the slow-twitch fibers
respond first to the exercise and then fatigued first. Then the
intermediate-twitch fibers respond and fatigue fitness slow. Only at the
extreme do the large fast-twitch fibers come into play. They normally
don't get exercised enough to improve in strength, size, and fitness
slow metabolic health. To get at these muscle fibers quickly and
effectively, use the Slow Burn method.
The
Slow Burn technique is designed to quickly bring about deep fatigue of
all fitness slow muscle fibers, small and big. The key is to perform
each exercise with slow, precise movements in perfect form with weight
heavy enough to take the muscle to total fatigue in just a few
repetitions. Total fatigue is the point where the muscle cannot move the
weight anymore no matter what. At that point, the muscle fibers send
out hormonal signals that stimulate growth, increase strength, and
fitness slow improve metabolic function so that the muscles will be able
to meet future demands. Continued repetition of this technique quickly
builds muscle strength, muscle mass, power, and quickness fitness slow.
A
typical Slow Burn workout of a specific muscle group will take sixty to
ninety seconds to perfectly perform a single set of fitness slow three
to six repetitions. With each rep, you will take three seconds to
initiate the motion, then lift and lower the weight precisely and
slowly. You should select a weight that for the first second or two it
feels like the fitness slow weight isn't going to move. Breathe steadily
and push slowly and steadily focusing on the motion. If you can lift
the weight slowly with good form for fitness slow at least sixty seconds
to ninety seconds, that is about right. The proper weight allows for
three to six slow repetitions within sixty to ninety seconds before
failure occurs. Your goal is to completely fatigue the muscle, meaning
the muscle has reached the point of fitness slow deep and total fatigue
where you can no longer lift the weight and still maintain perfect form.
You
should spend a couple of minutes on each exercise with a fitness slow
minute in between as you shift to the next exercise. You should get
through the entire workout in less than half an hour.
- How Can Slow Burn Benefit You?
- These are some of the benefits of the Slow Burn method:
- Greater muscle strength gains in a shorter period of time.
- Shorter workouts save you time.
- Slow motions easier on your joints, muscles, and ligaments lessening chance of injury.
- Increased muscle mass increases metabolic rate which increases calorie burning.
- Fat loss.
- Strengthen bones and reduced chance of osteoporosis.
Improved
circulation, blood sugar levels, and better response to insulin which
improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
So
I hope you found this overview of "The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution -
The Slow-Motion Exercise That Will Change Your Body In 30 Minutes A
Week" by Frederick Hahn, Michael R. Eades, M.D., and Mary Dan Eades,
M.D. useful. I haven't gone into the actual exercises and the program as
well as the dietary guides as they are extensive. There are a number of
books out there that describe similar programs but I feel that this is
one of the better ones. It explains everything in a way that fitness
slow anyone can understand and the exercises can be done at home or the
gym and don't necessarily require specialized equipment. If this sounds
interesting to you, go check out the book.
