    Your Body Knows Better

    Cardio doesn’t work. Modern fitness “experts” have been pushing the idea that cardiovascular endurance training is the only way to get fit. But your body knows better. It’s why you dread that long, boring, painful workout. So don’t do it anymore. I have something better. And it’s the opposite of “exercise.” It’s easy to do, [...]

    How I Got Ready for the African Jungle

    I’ve been to some of the most remote and rugged places on Earth. But the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest here in Africa really lives up to its name. It is the densest jungle I’ve ever encountered. I just got back from my first-ever gorilla trek. I was told it would take all day to hike [...]

    You Never Have To Do Cardio Again

    I bet your doctor never told you this… as you age, cells in your lungs start to die off faster than you replace them – causing your lungs to shrink. And here’s the kicker: The smaller your lungs, the greater your chance of dying – of ALL causes.1 But I have proof that it’s completely [...]

    My Dream Come True

    “This will be the fitness studio and testing lab for P.A.C.E. ……”

    My voice echoed in the large space. “This floor alone is over 8,000 square feet.”

    “You can sprint in here!” My P.A.C.E. product manager S.S. was fired up about the new gym.

    “It will be most of the back side of the building,” I said. “So we’ll have the wellness practice, spa services and gym on the first floor, and all of the business offices up on the second floor.”

    I’ve wanted this since I was a little boy. I’m finally going to have the center I dreamed of.

    Now I’m Ready To Go Global

    If you want your sexiest, most attractive body, you can either starve yourself and beat yourself up doing an “extreme” fitness program…

    … or you can use my new fitness video coming out this month.

    Did you know that extreme workouts like “P90X” and “Insanity” claim to be new and different, but they’re really just more aerobics? They claim to get you in shape, but they only wear you out and injure you.

    Do exercises with names like “hit the floor,” “attack jabs” and “mummy kicks” sound like they’ll make you stronger? Would you even want to do “suicide drills”? Sounds more like torture to me. It sounds insane. Since when is it ever a good idea to go insane?

    The Best There’s Ever Been

    I’ve been working on a major project for quite some time. It’s taken two years and it’s been a very grueling – but educational – process.

    I decided that I wanted to make the best fitness product ever. And I wanted to make a DVD that would incorporate all of the principles of PACE that I’ve been working on for the past 10 years all at once.

    And it’s finally done. It’s complete and it’s the culmination of a lifetime of effort. It’s the best I’ve ever done and I hope you like it…

    Melt Abdominal Fat With Simple “Step”

    Did you know that most women are attracted to men with a “V” shaped upper body, and most men like hourglass figures?

    But getting and keeping those features in the modern world is not easy.

    Especially since all the advice you get misses the point. They want you to focus on working the muscles of the midsection, as if that’s going to give you an hourglass figure or a masculine “V” taper. It can’t.

    All that can do is build muscle in that area. What you’re really looking for is to melt off the fat. And you can’t melt off the fat in an area by working that area. Fat doesn’t work that way.

    Power Boost That Could Save Your Life

    You probably know someone who’s fallen and broken a hip. You may not know that it’s not just the elderly who fall, or break their hips. All seniors are at risk.

    The risk doubles every five years after you turn 50. Nine out of 10 hip fractures happen to people over 60. And more than 25 percent of those people will develop complications and die within a year.1

    No matter what your age or level of fitness, you can take a few simple steps – right away – to keep this from happening to you.

    A new study tells a revealing story. Turns out, the signals to your muscles start to slow down as you get older, making it harder for your muscles to respond.

    Researchers at the University of Delaware looked at how muscles respond when the cells that activate them, called neurons, send out electrical signals for the muscles to move.

    They found that in the elderly, not only do muscles respond more slowly, but neurons actually fire less frequently. At first glance this seems to confirm the conventional wisdom that slowing down physically is an inevitable consequence of aging but there’s more…

    They’re Starting to Come Around

    It looks like the principles of my P.A.C.E. program are finally starting to be accepted. At least one, anyway. That training for intensity gives you greater benefit than training for endurance.

    In the last few days I’ve seen articles on several conventional health websites explaining how good for you intense workouts are. Even the LA Times has a piece on it. The author concludes what I’ve known for years: The benefits of intense workouts edge out endurance exercises.

    I applaud them for starting to come around to the idea, but they’re still not quite getting the whole picture.

    Why You Want Power

    Today I’m going to talk about something that in all my years of training for sports, strength and fitness I’ve found to be the most neglected and the most important.

    The concept here is power.

    Having a powerful body gives you:

    greater stamina
    increased strength
    higher metabolism
    more muscle tone
    improved circulation
    better balance
    greater internal energy

    What do I mean by power?

    I use the word power to mean the amount of energy you have available to do everything you want to do.

    How High Is Yours?

    My new Wellness Center will still provide the services of natural hormone therapy, anti-aging and natural approaches to healing as it always has.

    But with 17,000 square feet of space, we’ll have the room to expand our research and technology and provide more cutting-edge services in prevention, wellness, anti-aging, nutrition and exercise physiology.

    I am building an entire lab dedicated to researching exercise physiology that will enable us to further test my P.A.C.E program.

    In fact, we’ll be taking P.A.C.E. testing to another level. We’ll put patients on my new POWER Fit program that includes a low-glycemic eating plan and new P.A.C.E. workouts to achieve even faster, more dramatic improvements to their health and fitness.

    Then we’ll look at those results, and tweak our programs to benefit you even more. For example, we’ll be working on ways to accurately measure oxygen use and how the body makes energy with exertion.

    Time To Take Control

    “Give yourself time. Be patient, and then go for it on the third set.”

    I was taking a minute during the filming for my new POWER Fit videos to help A.A.

    She was doing something I see a lot with people just starting P.A.C.E. She did the warmup set fine. She knew she had to gear up the intensity for the second set, but A.A. kind of zoned out and went after it too hard. By the third set she would have had nothing left.

    As a teacher of P.A.C.E., I tell my students to work on keeping their focus. I want you to know how intensely you’re doing it. I want you to pay attention because I want you to be in control.

    “My Husband Says I’m Hot!”

    “What’s going on out there?”

    “It’s D.W. You know how she is since she’s been doing PACE… she brought her old pants in.”

    I looked up from reading D.W.’s patient chart. “She brought her pants?”

    “Well, she wore them. Her old belt, too.” My medical assistant M.T. was laughing now. “She’s so happy. She even told me, ‘My husband says I’m lookin’ hot now! He wants to do PACE so he can look good, too.’”

    Her Whole Family Does P.A.C.E. Together

    Have you heard about how fast P.A.C.E. gives you results?

    It’s the easiest, quickest way to get lean and fit. P.A.C.E. works because it helps coach your body to do what it wants to do anyway. In almost no time, nature takes over and it becomes easy.
