Aerobic Exercise: Are You Using the Right Approach?

My first introduction to aerobic exercise was during football practice when I was a high school junior...and that was too many years ago to count.

Coach Miller required us to 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 for air.

This wasn't one of our favorite pastimes, and frankly we thought that he must be out of his mind.

It wasn't long however, before we discovered 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 aerobic exercise intensity on heart health. A new study by British researchers tracked 1,975 healthy men over ten years.

The best part however is that these benefits of aerobic exercise were achieved with as little as nine minutes per day of vigorous activity.

I'm Gene Millen. Twenty-one years ago a heart surgeon, sawed open my chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite heart arteries.

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 and exercise weight loss 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. Al Sears' new PACE® exercise 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.

Dr. Sears new patented program builds on the principle that long-duration exercise isn't natural.

Our ancient ancestors didn't run for mile after mile without rest or recovery. Their exercise was primarily hunting, or on some terrifying occasions being hunted. Their daily exercise "routine" consisted of short bursts of exertion, followed by periods of very welcome rest.

By using this system you recreate exactly what your body needs for weight loss, heart health, increased lung function and greater energy.

By boosting your heart's "reserve capacity," Dr. Sears reveals that you can nearly eliminate your risk of heart attack.

Dr. Sears explains to us why endurance training ends up doing the exact opposite of what our body was designed to do.

Heart attacks don't happen because your heart lacks endurance. They happen during times of stress, when your heart needs more energy and pumping capacity, but doesn't have it.

Fitness Expert Dr. Al Sears, MD, Says…

“Aerobics and Cardio Are DEAD”

Why is my colleague, Dr. Al Sears, MD, telling people to stop doing aerobics and cardio… throw away your jogging shoes… and skip the gym?

Could it be that traditional exercise is actually bad for you?

Could it be that if you practice aerobics or cardio, you’re actually making your lungs smaller and weaker?

This changes everything.

After 25 years of research, Dr. Sears has patented a revolutionary approach to fitness that’s easy to follow and gets results.

You can do this no matter what shape you’re in.
