Foreword
By Marilyn DeMartini

“Ready, set, go!” Remember the glee as you yelled those words, then tore down the street with wild abandon, breathless as you raced your buddies to the end of the block?

Ready, Set, GO! Synergy Fitness can rekindle those emotions for adults, recapturing the rush of pushing to the maximum, to achieve the optimum.

“How do you stay motivated to work out so hard and so often?” People often ask. “Fear,” I reply .

Fear of 40, now of 50, the fat little Italian girl I imagine chasing me has been a constant and powerful motivator - especially with age. Why have I seemed to be working harder, not to make progress, but only to maintain?

Why does aging bring with it the albatross of lagging energy, sagging skin and body fat? Why have I refused to accept that fate? Because along with age, comes wisdom, and I have learned that staying fit, fights aging.

Now, with Phil Campbell’s help, I understand how to work smarter, not just harder - how to use and understand science to build a tactical defense in my war against aging.

Technology’s response to the fight to stay young has not just been in digital treadmills and talking heart monitors. Technology brings real science and research that help us better understand how our bodies work - and don’t.

Campbell brings this scientific proof to readers in a clear and concise way, explaining clinical studies on nutrition, energy production and exercise - showing how Synergy Fitness makes sense, why it works.

Optimal fitness and the coincidental path to anti-aging are not about languishing on a treadmill for hours or struggling with overly heavy barbells. Ready, Set Go, Synergy Fitness is about getting the most out of your workout by putting the most into it - by leading the body to generate and release its own anti-aging formula - human growth hormone.

As a journalist, fitness enthusiast and instructor, I have studied trends, research and ideology and reported on what to wear, take and do, to stay fit. The recent research and exposure of (HGH) human growth hormone’s effect on performance has created a major breakthrough in health and anti-aging medicine.


While athletes, movie stars and those with clinical deficiency, take injections to counteract age-related HGH decline, Campbell presents a plan to self-induce HGH release, resetting our biological clocks through high-intensity exercise, a “Sprint” 8 program.

To be healthy, it is not enough to be thin or to not be sick. Real health takes a commitment to feel your own body - listen to its messages - follow its instinct, and then, enjoy the uplift. The energy generated by pushing your body to its maximum lasts throughout the day and throughout a lifetime. Better than looking good for your age is feeling good - at your age.

When at the top of your physical game, you’ll be at the top of your mental game - tying together the elements of feeling and staying young. Feeling fatigued, unattractive, sleep-deprived and achy, the overweight and under-exercised majority may tell us that it is the reality of aging - just middle age catching up with us.

On the contrary, some of us have decided to run from old age - literally. And run at a full sprint!

Not into running? Then walk fast, bike, skate - even dance - as long as you do it with passion and intensity. Mix that emotion with inexpensive, easy-to-obtain supplements and go at your chosen aerobic activity until you’re breathless - anaerobic.

The Sprint 8 program will take you to new heights in your fitness level and in your attitude. Science and experience show how to arm our bodies for the war against aging. Campbell shows how to make it simple and even fun.

If you are content to accept an expanding waistline, a waning energy level, decreased sex drive or general feeling of malaise, this book is not for you. But, if you want to look and feel great at any age, follow the Synergy Fitness plan.

This simple book asks only for you to give it a try. Kick your body into full gear and tap your own Fountain of Youth. It’s not in a bottle, it’s in your veins.
