Add Years To Your Life While Maintaining Weight

If you could learn an exercise routine that increased your heart and lung capacity, it isn't unreasonable that you would expect to add years to your life. And even more, you can retrain your metabolism with a specific kind of high intensity training. You can train your muscles to store energy, to be used on a second's notice.

When your muscles function this way, like those of a young person, you speed up your metabolism. This way you can lose weight and enjoy maintaining your weight, with the added bonus of building muscle mass. And, add years to your life. Naturally, with other healthy choices such as a nutritious diet and looking both ways before you cross the street.

The news that is new for me is that your LUNGS' size determines how long you live. Dr. Al Sears, who designed the Pace exercise program, has engaged in research that shows that your lungs get smaller as you get older. Yet, you have control over this. A certain kind of working out that increases the intensity of exertion, and the slowly increasing acceleration of exertion, makes your lungs get bigger!

This same type of exercise also increases your heart capacity. This means, that in an emergency situation--or just a run-for-the-bus situation-- your heart can pump more blood, facilitating your actions. Without you having a heart attack or a stroke, or fainting from lack of oxygen.

And one of the best features of this program, is that you can choose the exercise you like and truly enjoy. This could be:

*jumping rope
*doing squats and lunges
*jumping jacks
*walking
*biking or recumbent biking
*treadmill
*rowing machine - or a real boat or kayack
*Total Gym - it can do so many kinds of movements
*Pilates machine
*movement with weights

Of course there are more - but that's the gist of it.

A note for ballet dancers - a ballet barre and a ballet center work is perfectly designed as this kind of workout. This is why ballet dancers test ahead of all athletes for endurance and strength. I just had to say that...

But back to you, no matter your age, you can do this. One patient of Dr. Sears started walking 45 seconds a day, and built up an exercise program from there. So, if you are still standing and walking, YOU CAN DO MORE.

If you are the type who never gives up, you will love this exercise routine which will also result in you losing and maintaining weight. Whether you are 30 or 70, you can add years to your life. (Please look both ways before you cross.)
