This is wonderful stuff so listen closely.
Remember, you can use a very light weight and still make wonderful progress.
That’s why...
“Sore Joints Will Soon Become A Thing Of The Past”
At a recent seminar. I asked the following question: How many, are suffering
from some type of sore joint? Maybe it’s a sore elbow or aching knees or it
could be painful shoulders?”
About 30% raised their hands.
I then asked, “How would you like to get rid of all your aches and pains and
make better progress while you’re doing it?” Everyone’s hands went up.
Let me share a testimonial from Stan Nobleman, a long time personal trainer out
of New York City, who began our program several months ago.
“Dear Larry, after not being able to squat for years, I’m happy to say
your program has rehabilitated my knees. I have experienced the same thing with
my elbows. My elbows no longer have pain or discomfort when I exercise. All this
after my family doctor and 2 Orthopedic Doctors told me I had either arthritis
or bursitis and I just had to learn to live with it.”
“Some Of The Reasons For Our Sore Joints”
You can’t make an injured joint better by ignoring the pain. It just gets
worse. If you lay off, the pain just “sits there”. The method that seems to
works best is... to get fresh blood into the injured area and... to do it
without causing extra pain. I mean any pain.
Because...
If you grit your teeth and put up with even a little bit of pain, the injury
doesn’t go away it just gets worse. The exercise has to be totally pain free.
That’s why “Slow Rep Speed” is so helpful. This very slow method is
perfect for detecting the exact onset and origin of the pain. When the exercise
is done very slowly you can detect exactly when the pain occurs and can then
move the elbow, the wrist or change the body position; whatever it takes to get
rid of the pain. In this way, you can still do the exercise...
Once you’ve got the “pain free” track nailed down you’re on your way to
rapid healing.
Okay... let’s talk about...
“Why This Domino Effect
Can Save You Hours Of Wasted Effort”
We’ve all got these different muscle fibers... some alert, some attentive,
some down-right lazy. It’s kind of like a class room full of kids. You’ve
got some raring to go, front row, kids who want to learn... take notes, all that
kind of stuff.
Then you’ve got the “drag in, plunk themselves down on the back row
kind”... just barely there... never really with the program. Your goal as the
cheer leader is to get everybody as involved as the front row guys. Once you do
this... man... you’ve got energy and power. Now you’ve got more than just
the front row pitching in. You’ve got everybody going for it. You can get the
room so full of energetic, alert muscle fibers... the window panes will be
falling out.

You can’t make an injured joint better by

“sits there.”

You’ll feel younger, look younger and be so excited you’ll have to force
yourself not to over do it.
The sheer joy of what’s happening to your body while using this type of
training will rest on your consciousness throughout the day and fill your dreams
at night. However...
“Variety Must Be Included”
As good as this system is, the body will still
adapt to it. That’s why we need variety. Even our favorite dessert becomes a
drag if we have to eat it over and over. The same is true with exercise. We all
get our best gains when we first start a new exercise program. It doesn’t take
long however for that initial burst of progress to taper down to less than 20%
of what it was.
The problem lies in how the body reacts to exercise. It releases Growth Hormone
to accommodate the stress. Muscles adapt by growing. Once this adaptation takes
place, progress drops off.
Weltman did a study which shows adaptation takes place within the first 3 weeks
of exercise.
Gains start to drop off before the third week of training. In other words, if
you’re training on the same program for more than two weeks you’re losing
it. It would be much better if you changed your program the 1st week. But even
better... if you changed every day.
Sounds a little radical doesn’t it?
It is... it is and... that’s another reason why this 9 Minute Training System
is such a smashing success. The constant changing program is refreshing to the
body because the body loves variety.
“How Often Should We Change The Whole Training System?”
If we change the whole program every 21 days, the body will continue to grow at
it’s optimum pace. Maxwell Maltz wrote an excellent book called
Psycho-Cybernetics..... in which he found it takes 21 days to create a new
habit.
The inverse is true with exercise. After 3 weeks, the body will have completely
forgotten the beginning. This way we can stay in the Fast Start Growth Phase
permanently.
If this has made any sense so far... You’ve got to be impressed. Because this
is simply... “first of it’s kind” news. However, you’ll have to...
“Be Careful You Don’t Over Do It”
Even though you are training for only 9 minutes, your neuro-muscular system will
go through... 5 times as much stress as it would in a conventional 90 minute
workout.
By the way... the actual time in the gym will be a little longer because it
takes time to change the weights etc but... your actual exercising time will be
around 9 Minutes. “How To Get Aerobically Fit
in 3 Minutes”
Remember me telling you earlier about Dr. Arnie Jensen at the Cooper Clinic in
Dallas. (He’s the one that sent me the Fenn paper I was looking for).
Well about a month later Arnie called to tell me of a study by a group of
Japanese scientists on cardiovascular fitness.
He said, “Larry, I think you’ll be interested in this because you’re
looking for methods to increase exercise efficiency. We have information
showing... it’s possible to achieve aerobic fitness in just 3 minutes a day.
Matter of fact, were finding it’s as effective as those 30 minute sessions
everyone’s been doing in the past. It’s quite simple actually. All you do is
work at maximum pace for 20 seconds then coast for 10 seconds and then repeat
this cycle for 6 series.”
“And that’s it?” I asked.
“That’s it.” He replied. “Just 20, 10... repeated 6 times. I know it
sounds simple but according to our testing that’s all we need in order to
maintain excellent cardiovascular condition.”
Caution: do not attempt this concentrated aerobic method if you are over age
40 and have not been safely stress tested.
