Body by Science
Autor John Little, Doug McGuffen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2009
Body by Science challenges everything you thought you knew about exercise and takes you deep inside your body's inner workings--all the way down to the single cell--to explain what science now knows about the role of exercise in human health.With the help of medical diagrams and step-by-step photos, exercise scientist Doug McGuff, M.D., and weight-training pioneer John Little present a revolutionary new workout protocol that fully leverages the positive effects of high-intensity, low-frequency weight training, while avoiding the negative effects of traditional aerobic-centric exercise.

- Build muscle size and strength, fast
- Optimize cardiovascular health
- Ramp up your metabolism
- Lower cholesterol
- Increase insulin sensitivity
- Improve flexibility
- Manage arthritis and chronic back pain
