Power of 10: The Once-A-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution (Marshall Cavendish)Paperback - Marshall Cavendish, 23 December 2003

Fitness expert Adam Zickerman presents a revolutionary exercise program--slow strength training--that will forever change the way Americans work out.

Power of 10 seems to contradict nearly everything we're accustomed to hearing about exercise. Forget hours on the treadmill, and forget daily visits to the gym. Power of 10 is based on a remarkably advanced yet simple discovery: By lifting weights in a series of ultra-slow movements that last 10 seconds each, you can stimulate lean muscle formation far more efficiently and safely than regular weight lifting or aerobics.

Together with a healthy nutrition plan, Power of 10 is so powerfully effective that as little as one 20-minute workout per week is enough to build muscle, burn fat, and improve cardiovascular health at any age.
