Power of 10

While many fitness enthusiasts burn away several hours a week running or weightlifting, Adam Zickerman says they have it all wrong. Twenty minutes a week of slow-motion movement will give similar, if not better, results. The secret is to extend each repetition over 10-second intervals. This concentrated form of exercise is the key to what Zickerman describes as flipping switches in the muscle cells for maximum effectiveness. In addition to a discussion of the theory and a range of resistance-training exercises, Zickerman explains other key components to his theory: rest and nutrition. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
