Now, let’s
get started
The
weight-gain, metabolism slowdown phase that typically
begins in the mid-30s gets an official medical name.
The
best news . . . there’s a free cure
The SOMATOPAUSE (sa-mot-a-pause) is the name medical researchers give to the metabolism slowdown that typically begins in the mid-30s. This condition has been called the “middle-age spread,” and the “middle-age bulge.” Now, it has an official name - the somatopause. It's a real medical condition. And it has a free cure.
The "sagging somatopause"-- as it was called by Jack Wilson, a reporter for the San Diego Union Tribune in a news story on my book -- impacts 80 million baby-boomers in the U.S. and millions more world wide.
Clinical Signs of the Somatopause· Weight gain
· Energy Loss
· Skin wrinkling
· Decreasing muscle
· Loss of bone density
· Increasing body fat (especially around the waist)
What causes the Somatopause?
Growth
Hormone Declines with Age
Cure for the Somatopause
There are two main cures for the middle-age somatopause; growth.hormone injections (not recommended), or the natural method, anaerobic exercise.
Celebrity Appearance Improving
Drug of Choice
It's widely reported that several well-known actors take growth.hormone injections for its anti-aging, youth-rejuvenating properties. And growth.hormone has been banned for athletes because of its ability to improve performance.
While research
shows serious side-effects are possible with this therapy, everyone
knows instinctively -- when you inject something into your bloodstream
that costs $1,000 a month (that can put on muscle like steroids, and
pull 28 pounds of body fat off a 200 pound person), it doesn't take
rocket science to figure there's a price to pay in the long run. There's
a better way to get the benefits of increasing growth.hormone. And
it's 100% natural and it doesn't cost a dime - just a little of your
time. Specifically, 20 minutes, three to four days a week.
Why there's no Test for Growth.Hormone
With the fall of Marion Jones (famous for winning seven Olympic Gold Medals, five during the 2000 Olympics) and the news reports about Barry Bonds and his purported use of growth.hormone, researchers have been working long hours to find a way to test athletes for the illegal use of this very powerful, performance-improving hormone. But they don't have a test for growth.hormone abuse in athletes. And the reason researchers don't have a test is very important.
Reporting on the status of the research, Dr. Don Catlin, President of the Anti-Doping Research Institute reported in 2007:
We remain unsure whether a urine test can be developed and the timetable for doing so would be years, not months. Researchers around the world have pursued a urine test for H.GH for 12 years.
The reason there's not a test to catch athletes that illegally improve performance by injecting growth.hormone is simple. Athletes, as well as adults that use the Sprint 8 cardio program in my book for weight loss, energy enhancement, and fitness improvement, would yield a false/positive test.
In other words,
if someone does the 20-minute Sprint 8 cardio program and takes
a growth.hormone test, the body would have such high levels of
growth.hormone flowing from the exercise-induced release, it would
appear to researchers that the person had taken an illegal injection
of the most powerful body-fat cutting, muscle-toning, and widely-used
performance improving substance known in science.
Growth.hormone can be increased by over 500 percent with anaerobic exercise - the short-burst, get-you-out-of-breath quickly, sprinting types of cardio exercise. You don't have to spend all day in the gym, jog for hours, or starve yourself to get results, but Sprint 8 cardio does require high-intensity exercise in bursts of 30-seconds or less.
Researchers investigating the impact of aging report;
"Aging is often associated with a progressive decrease in the volume and, especially, the intensity of exercise. A growing body of evidence suggests that higher intensity exercise is effective in eliciting beneficial health, well-being and training outcomes. In a great many cases, the impact of some of the deleterious effects of aging could be reduced if exercise focused on promoting exercise produced growth.hormone."
("The exercise-induced growth hormone response in athletes," Godfrey, Sports Med. 2003;33(8):599-613.2003)
Now, before you go out and run, cycle, or swim a few 100-meter sprints or power-walk some steep hills to get winded fast, it's important to note that anaerobic exercise is the most productive form of exercise, but it's also the most dangerous. Even young athletes need to warm-up, and progressively build intensity levels or risk pulling hamstrings, calf muscles, and Achilles tendons.
Middle-age adults need to slowly ease into high-intensity anaerobic exercise. And for some reason, many of my X-jock friends believe that this warning does not apply to them. Even well-conditioned middle-aged athletes, who can run for miles, need a progressive, six to eight week buildup period. And if you haven't been exercising your heart muscle with cardio training, it's important to progressively strengthen your heart muscle as well and the two-types of fast-muscle fiber in your legs and upper body to handle high-intensity cardio. In fact, I always recommend getting a physical from your physician before you begin any exercise program, especially if you haven't seen your doctor in a while.
Adults of all ages can successfully add anaerobic cardio training to their fitness program, but there needs to be a slow, progressive buildup period.
Does exercise-induced
growth.hormone work for women as well as it does for men? A future
newsletter will cover this topic. If you like real information based

Oprah's O Magazine Calls Sprint
8 cardio
"The Fastest-Working Workout"
On the cover of the September 2007 edition of Oprah's, O Magazine, Sprint 8 received a wonderful compliment and was titled as "The Fastest-Working Workout." Sprint 8 can work for you too!
Does
the Ready, Set, GO Fitness program work?
hearing from readers
"I
jogged and worked out but still managed to weigh 210 at age 43. Now
at age 50, I weigh 180 (6ft tall) and I am in the best condition of
my life.
I started running the Sprint 8 workout in 2003 and it worked!
I experienced a few hurdles like heart disease, prostate cancer (with
surgery) and exercise-induced asthma but I always went back to running
the Sprint 8 workout.
My heart doctors could not believe I was not experiencing pain during
the sprints.
They found 60-70% blockage in a main artery. My family doctor said,
"Wow you're that tuned up? Your body must have found other mechanisms
to satisfy the oxygen need during sprints." He purchased Phil Campbell's
book and uses it for himself and his patients.
My urologist/surgeon said I would recover from surgery easily due to
my conditioning. And, I no longer need the asthma medication.
If I had not found Phil Campbell's book, I would have been either
a heart patient or a heart statistic by now. But I'm stronger and more
energized than ever before. Some of my colleagues are astonished at
my energy level.
Thanks to Phil Campbell!." - Brian
