Slow Burn to Fitness

Fredrick Hahn, president of the National Council for Exercise Standards and owner of Serious Strength, Inc. believes you can have a stronger, more fit body with just 30 minutes of exercise per week. He calls the technique “Slow Burn.” The idea is that the resistance (weights or your body) is lifted and lowered very slowly – about 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down.

The benefits are said to be:

1. A safer workout because the slow lifting is gentler on tendons, ligaments and joints, so even elderly people can safely perform the recommended exercises.
2. It’s a more effective workout because there is no momentum in the movement to assist the muscles in moving the weight.
3. It’s more efficient because you can get a complete strength workout in about 30 minutes per week, as opposed to at least 3 hours with conventional weight training workouts.

For more information on the technique, Mr. Hahn has co-authored the book, The Slow Burn Fintess Revolution. Click the link below to see the book on Amazon.
