Another "exercise related review" centers around John Little and Dr. Doug McDuff's book titled "Body by Science." The book is published by McGraw-Hill. The work is more than a book, it has become a way of life for many readers. John Little is a bodybuilder/ columnist for Ironman magazine and innovator of Max Contraction Training. Dr. McGuff is the brains behind the training practiced at Exercise Inc . (www.exerciseinc.com) McDuff's theories are supported by peer-reviewed scientific literature. McGuff claims, "If you are appropriately supervised, anyone can do this at any level of fitness." Here are four basic concepts of Body by Science type of training: 1. Lift and lower slowly : The slower the better. Consequently, when lifting weights, lift so slow that it takes over 10 seconds to lift the weight and another 10 seconds to lower the weight. That is one repetition. Try to keep the set at about 70 seconds to 90 seconds total (4 to 6 reps.)

This 38 year old female's improvement has been phenomenal. 5' 5" 5'5" 146 lbs 144 Chest 38" 37 Waist 34" 31 biceps 12" 12 thighs 24" 23 The tale of the tape didn't change much. The testee's static strength; however, did increase. There were also subjective feelings of " I have more energy." "I feel stronger." "If I need to lift or carry something, I know I can do it." Waist size did decrease by 3" which is impressive. The rest of the measurements improved by less. The subject will continue to train post test. In fact, there is already additional data for 7/13 and 7/20. She will continue with static training; however, additional movement exercises and HIT training will also be included.

Perhaps no other industry has as much hype as the fitness industry. This billion dollar market has its fair share of unfulfilled promises and broken dreams. From the days of seeing Charles Atlas comics of bullies kicking sand in the face of skinny boys to the present, fitness has been a lofty goal that for many appears out of reach. Our first test review will be of Explosive Training Streamline Machine . This is an isometric exercise machine consists of a bench and bar which provides a digital readout of the maximum amount of force exerted on the bar. Pete Sisco , an accomplished author in the field of exercising with heavy weights in a limited range of motion, apparently helped originally develop the machine. While Sisco is no longer affiliated with the product, his theories provide the basis for the muscle building goals of this exercise equipment. (Lately, Tony Reno has added additional software to an updated version which apparently claims fat reducing and aerobic benefits.) This
