Synopsis

If you're one of the millions who are just too busy to get in shape, or think that keeping fit takes endless hours in the gym and depressing diets, we have good news and bad news. The good news: Now you can get in the best shape of your life by working out 2O minutes, once a week, and following the generous eating rules in a program called Power-of-10. The bad news? You've just lost your last excuse!

Power-of-10 is a full-blown fitness revolution-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 and a focus on rest and recovery, Power-of-10 is so 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. No wonder people find it hard to believe, Until they try their first workout!

Best of all, you're about to see why Power-of-10 expert Adam Zickerman is so popular with his clients. He makes it surprisingly fun! Adam guides you step-by-step with workouts for every major muscle group using machines or free weights at the gym, at home, or when you're on the road.

Backed by more than twenty years of research, Power-of-10 principles are changing the way America gets in shape. So hang on to your "healthy skepticism." Let Adam show you Power-of-10. And watch it turn to just plain "healthy."
