Miracle Workout The Revolutionary 3-Step Program for Your Perfect Body

The Integrated Exercise Revolution This book is about a revolutionary way to manage your weight, sculpt your body, and reach peak performance, all in record time. The method is proven and easy, and it works regardless of your current physical condition, age, or personal goals. It is based on a newly discovered natural approach to exercise that is in reality as old as the hills, but has been long hidden in plain sight. I call it Integrated Body Conditioning, or simply IBC. You have already practiced elements of IBC, though you probably didn't recognize it. You did it when you were a child without giving it a second thoughtyou just played, and knew it was fun. You can recapture similar magic as an adult with IBC. In the process, you can work miracles with not just your body but also your mind, emotions, and spirit. This book is your performance manual for IBC, your path to the best body you can have, and, if you're ready, your ticket to a new life. IBC has changed the nature and perception of exercise for me. When you finish reading this first chapter, I think you will feel the same way, and by the time you complete your first few IBC workouts, I know you will. A Chronicle of Miracles Since I discovered it years ago, integrated exercise has changed my life. Because of IBC, my muscle strength and endurance at the chronological age of 62 years exceed the 90th percentile of men in the 2029 year age group. My maximum heart rate is typical of a 35-year-old man, and my bone strength and joint function resemble those of a 45-year-old man. And trust meI am no genetic superman. I owe this personal miracle to a workout anyone can do, at any age, and at any level. IBC can work miracles for you, too. It will bring you to your full genetic potential with minimum pain and in the least possible time. IBC can help reduce your body weight to its optimum level without calorie-restriction diets and without drugs, with due qualifications for members of special populations (Chapter 9). Put IBC together with the integrated diet (Chapter 10), and miracles follow. Perhaps most important for the long term, IBC is fun. To get and stay fit for life, you've got to enjoy the process. People who try the IBC workout generally rank it as their favorite, because it's fun to do, it's energizing, and it gives you a new vitality between workouts. Once your IBC program is under way, you may feel more invigorated than you've felt in years. IBC is energizing because it conditions all three of your body's primary energy systemsthe short-term phosphorous (your biochemical first gear), medium-term anaerobic (second gear), and long-term aerobic (third gear) energy systems. IBC is an energy-conditioning approach to exercise. In the process, it also produces unprecedented results in fat loss, muscle gain, cardiovascular health, aerobic capacity, muscle strength, and muscle endurance. Controlled, randomized, and double-blind scientific experiments on college athletes at the University of California (Chapter 3) show that IBC builds muscle twice as fast as the best conventional exercise prescription, and reduces fat three times faster than the best conventional exercise prescriptionand all with little or no muscle soreness. IBC is also your path to peak body flexibility. You may stretch and bend like a child again, with minimum discomfort. You can achieve these miracles for yourself anywhere you chooseindoors or out, at home or in a gym, in as little as 30 minutes per session, three times a week. Most important, IBC is thoroughly adaptable to your needs and preferencesand pocketbook. You can do the IBC workout inexpensively and with minimum equipment, and make it as easyor as hardas you want or require, dependiDavis, W.
