Staying Healthy in the Fast Lane

staying healthy in the fast lane

This is not the only way to strength train by any means, but it
works for busy people and gets results fast and safely. That is the
focus of this book. My goal is to give you fast, efficient, and safe
ways to get to a very high state of health with minimal expense and
time in your busy, modern lifestyle. The great thing about weight
training is that you get results. It is black and white. If you lose
weight at the same time, you will become doubly excited about
seeing the fat go away and the curves come out of nowhere!
I recommend warming up with your aerobic exercises prior to
your circuit training to allow the muscles to be warm and have
some blood flow going through them before challenging them.
Then do anywhere from ten to thirty minutes of stretching after
your circuit training. After doing this routine several months, you
may adapt your warm-up and stretching any way you feel comfort-
able. Just listen to your body! I repeat: listen to your body! It will
tell you when you have to rest, ease up, or push yourself a bit more.
I am not against free weights. Circuit training with machines
is just fast and efficient and can get you results quickly. (For the
record, I do curls and bench press with free weights in my routine,
have a pull-up bar, and bar dip setup at home.) You can do similar
workouts with free weights. It may take a bit more time setting up
the weights.
As I mentioned, for fast results I would do the circuit train-
ing every other day for a month or two. For older individuals, the
muscle recovery may not be as quick, and every other day may
create some extra soreness. Just be cautious of this. If you’re too
sore, don’t push yourself as hard and still go every other day, or put
two days in between your circuit training regularly or periodically,
depending on your soreness. Just be consistent.

Getting “Gorilla Buff ” Fast

Why do I use the term “Gorilla Buff?” Because gorillas don’t eat
other animals to get their protein and they are big and muscular.
It is true that some species of gorillas, especially lowland gorillas,
eat a fair amount of ants and termites (maybe up to 3 percent of
