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.
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.
I'll Be There …
The grand opening of P.A.C.E. Fitness by Avis is just a week away. And my staff and I are working together to make it a fun and memorable experience. That’s why I’m personally inviting you.
Terri Brightens Up The Whole Office
My patient Terri L. is bubbling with energy.
When she comes into the office now she has a big smile on her face, she greets my whole staff and has so much to say. She’s shed 80 pounds so far, and she was in the office just yesterday telling my staff happily, “… and everything that’s left is all muscle!”
Terri seems completely unrelated to the person I met when she first came to me as a patient. She was lethargic, walked slow and talked slow. She had her head down all the time, spoke in a monotone and had hardly any animation.
Now she’s very energetic, and everyone notices the difference.
Why?
Are They Joking?
I’m having a hard time believing it isn’t some kind of late April Fool’s joke.
I just read an article in The Journal of Family Practice, a conventional doctor magazine.
The author seems amazed, telling readers that, hey, we’ve got something very unusual here. There’s a guy who came in who had numbness and pain, and we didn’t know why. He didn’t have diabetes or any other condition known to cause it. It took 13 years to figure it out and it turned out to be this rare side effect of – can you believe it – a statin drug!
Are they kidding?
Nature Is Better
When I was in medical school, they never told me about the hormone leptin. They didn’t even know it existed.
Then the medical community widely accepted the view that leptin was a new potential avenue to control obesity because it would stop your hunger. Some even went as far as suggesting that we should give everyone who was overweight a leptin injection.
Now we find out it’s not what we thought it was. Leptin should control hunger. But when you gain too much weight you become leptin resistant. Your brain will then ignore leptin’s signals. Giving people more leptin will only make it worse.
Afterburn – Transform Your Body While You Rest
Today I want to talk to you about one of the most important benefits of my PACE program.
I’m talking about “afterburn.”
Afterburn is a way to describe all the energy your body uses to recover from your workout. It’s how you prepare to meet the challenge of what you’re asking your body to do.
And it’s the key to transforming your body with PACE.
PACE is designed to help you exceed your aerobic energy limit and tap the power of what I call supra-aerobics.
Careful: Fake Protein Can Make You Weak
Protein powders you find in your local health-food stores lack critical nutrients that give protein its real power.
These overly-processed and misleading products give you cheap, weakened forms of protein that come from sick, diseased animals. And some protein powders even have dangerous levels of lead, cadmium and other heavy metals.
Not only are they a waste of money, but if you eat them, they will only make you weaker and more vulnerable to disease.
To stay slim, strong and potent, you need a reliable source of protein that hasn’t been processed, contaminated or altered.
Today, I’ll show you the 7 factors you need in your protein powder to unlock its natural power.
People Love This Stuff!
When I was exploring the Amazon Rainforest, I stumbled upon something electrifying.
I found it among the native Guarani tribe. They told me it is a gift from the gods. They use it to make themselves more alert, run faster and give them more energy and endurance.
I tried it. It works better than any energy booster I’ve ever seen.
More Lung Power, More Life
Lung power is the number-one predictor of how long you’ll live. How well you breathe determines how long you’ll stay active and healthy.
The medical journal Chest did a 29-year follow up to the Buffalo Health Study, which followed over 1,100 people up to age 89. They found that the better your lungs work, the less likely you are to die of any cause. The correlation was even stronger for heart disease.1
This makes me wonder about all those workout “gurus.” They keep telling you to do “cardio” which only wears down your heart and lungs. The studies prove that lungpower – not wearing down your heart with hours of aerobics – will keep you going.
Most doctors aren’t aware of this, either. They don’t bother to measure your lungpower during a doctor visit. Yet it’s easy to do, and I measure it at my clinic.
The best way to tell how powerful your lungs are is a measurement called VO2 max.
Legs That Go Forever
I’ve written to you many times about how endurance running is bad for your heart and lungs.
Today I want to tell you about how it affects your muscles.
Skeletal muscles are the ones you can see, and the ones you exercise when you move. They attach to your bones via tendons and power up your whole body.
Strong skeletal muscles fill you with strength and potential. They give you the feeling of confidence and they ensure you stay mobile and independent.
And the strength of your leg muscles plays a lead role in how long you’ll live.
A study from the University of Pittsburgh followed nearly 2,300 people for five years. It found that low muscle strength in your quadriceps made you 51 percent more likely to die.1
The Body You Were Meant To Have
I’m amazed when I watch pro athletes at the top of their games. They have incredible speed and power. And if you’re a reader you know I’m a tennis fan. I play tennis every morning. So I loved watching the Australian Open tennis tournament that just ended.
It’s pretty impressive to watch how strong and fast these men and women are. They hit the ball so hard, and can twist their bodies and do incredible things with a tennis racquet in their hands.
Their bodies seem to be built for it, don’t they?
But what if I told you that you can have that same kind of lean, muscular body?
In fact, you were designed for it.
Let me explain…
