		<description><![CDATA[Cardio doesn&#8217;t work. Modern fitness &#8220;experts&#8221; have been pushing the idea that cardiovascular endurance training is the only way to get fit. But your body knows better. It&#8217;s why you dread that long, boring, painful workout. So don&#8217;t do it anymore. I have something better. And it&#8217;s the opposite of &#8220;exercise.&#8221; It&#8217;s easy to do, [...]]]></description>

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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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?

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...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I want to talk to you about something that can benefit every part of your body from your heart to your brain and even your sex hormones. Most doctors won’t tell you about it, but when it’s working right, you’ll:
<ul>
<li>feel more energized</li>
<li>have a positive frame of mind</li>
<li>better concentration</li>
<li>sleep soundly</li>
<li>eliminate mood swings</li>
<li>think more clearly</li>
<li>have fewer food cravings</li>
<li>maintain a healthy weight</li>
</ul>
The problem is, the modern world causes you to overuse it. Your ancestors had only brief periods of stress, lasting a few minutes at a time. Today, you are constantly being assaulted by stressors that can last for days, or years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

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. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been saying that cholesterol is not the bad guy, that it doesn’t cause heart disease, for 15 years.

But I’m not done yet.

The reason I can’t let go of this is because the problem has actually gotten much worse, not better.

Seventy-five percent of the patients who come to me with heart disease are already on a statin drug when I see them.

My first job is to try and talk them out of taking them... they’re usually scared and think they’re going to die if they stop taking it. 

The big drug makers love to run slick TV ads trying to convince you that lowering your LDL will protect you from heart disease. Doctors often further misinterpret the science and lead patients to believe that they have to lower their cholesterol with drugs or die of heart disease.]]></description>
