THE AEROBICS MYTH

Roger Schwab has been on the cutting-edge in the health club industry for many years.

Roger subscribes to the same basic exercise philosophy that we do at The Exercise Coach.....

1. Focus on total-body improvements through muscular stimulation.

2. Make your workouts as safe and challenging as possible (GO SLOW UNTIL YOU CAN'T GO).

3. Keep them brief (if they are really challenging they will be brief). Apply the minimum amount of exercise stress necessary to get maximum results.

4. Give your body REAL Recovery Time (ie., a few days between workouts, great nutrition, & quality sleep).

I recently came across Roger's article The Aerobics Myth. It's a great summary of why we don't place the emphasis on "Aerobics" that much of the fitness industry does.
