Mike (or anyone who's tried this or read the ebook),
Just wondering if you have tried this and if so, how is going? I bought a
regular print book from Amazon called The Doctor's Heart Cure by the same
man and it includes info on this workout but he has you determine your
exersion levels and, for example, you do level 3 for a certain amount of
time and then level 2 for so long, etc. This is just an example. I don't
have the book in front of me. I have a hard time figuring out stuff like
this. It seems subjective. I would have a hard time telling if I was working
at a level 1 as opposed to a level 2 for instance. Does the ebook give a
better way? I find this overwhelming but I love the idea of 10-20 minute
workouts.
Thanks,
Shelli

Dear Dan,
I bought and read the e-book version of this yesterday, on the strength
of Charles' recommendation and the promotional information at Dr.
Sears' web site.
I can say that it does sound entirely plausible. His main thesis is
that in order to make your body build more heart, lung, and muscle
capacity you need to challenge it with varied and progressive intense
loads of brief duration that are beyond our aerobic capacity.
He explains that long duration low intensity exercise causes the body
to optimize itself for the greatest efficiency under that form of
stress. Thus you will tend to lose reserve or "extra" heart, lung, and
muscle strength beyond what's needed for your usual workout.
Instead, he advocates short bursts of activity that create an oxygen
debt, separated by recovery intervals, and gathered into workouts that
are long enough to burn your reserves of ATP, glucose and glycogen, but
*not* long enough to engage your fat metabolism. Rather than adapting
by storing up new fat for the next overly long low intensity workout,
the body now uses its fat stores to rebuild the stock of immediately
available energy in preparation for the next burst of activity.
He describes how to use his strategy with virtually any form of
exercise, from calesthenics, rebounding and various machines, to
running, biking, and swimming, so it is extremely flexible. It is
totally adaptable to *ANY* level of fitness and ability.
He warns us not to do any program unchanged for more than a few weeks.
He discourages weight training, but does have tailored suggestions for
*strength* training, along with other optimizations for cardiac,
pulmonary and weight loss targets.
It's an interesting idea for me, since I don't have the desire, energy
or focus to do any sort of long workout, but I *am* willing to do ten
minutes a day on the rebounder, alternating between "health bounce"
warmup and recovery periods and short sprints of more strenuous moves.
Charles, can you say what you've been doing with it so far? I'd be
interested in any results you've begun to see.
Hope that helps, Dan.
Be well,
Mike D.
How about giving us a generalized description of the techniques used in
this program? I hate buying "a pig in a poke."
Thanks,
Dan
