If the holidays just happened to your weight in a bad way then get back on track with the PACE: 12-Minute Fitness Revolution program from Dr Al Sears.
Any weight loss program should include an exercise component but many people go over board in trying to burn off fat and end up with injuries or doing workouts that actually work against them. Traditional weight loss programs that include an exercise component nearly always emphasize long session programs where you’re sweating out on a treadmill or some cardio machine for 40-minutes or longer. In fact gym trainers will tell you to stay as long as you can to burn as much fat as you can.
However, the PACE program from Dr Al Sears does not advocate doing any workout longer than 20-minutes. In fact his new program is title – The 12-Minute Fitness Revolution – and he has believed for a long time we don’t need long slow workout but short intense bursts of energy, but in progressive intervals.
Dr Sears also indicates that the way we have been exercising for years with the long aerobic and cardio workouts instead of providing us with strong lungs and heart has actually been detrimental to these vital organs. The heart especially shrinks with the long cardio workouts rather than expands.
There’s a lot more to be said on the weight loss benefits of the PACE program but rather than repeat it all here you can read all about the benefits of the PACE: The 12-Minute Fitness Revolution program here.
As we move towards Valentine’s Day – what just happened to January again? – our thoughts turn to our significant others. So I’d like to leave you with a thought for today in our fast-paced world. Do something different and out of character for your loved one this February. I don’t mean outlandish or even scary but something unexpected. Like leaving a note under the pillow for them to show how special they are. Whatever you do don’t buy it – make it with your own hands. The value we can give somebody today is our time and spending a few minutes writing a note in your own handwriting and not a Word document on a PC, says they’re special.
Just try it. You’ll feel good as well.

I have had a heart attack from plaque rupture blocking off a major coronary. It didn’t take long for them to open it up. I was only 200 yards from the ER door. So they got to me super fast, but never the less, I suffered up to 505 damage according to my cardiologist. I feel fine. Just quit smoking recently but I do want to over-tax my heart. What is your recommendation to this. Thanks Tim
Tim,
Given your condition you’re should consult with your Doctor before starting any form of exercise program. Most likely they’ll suggest you start with walking. Investing in a heart monitor watch could be a worthwhile investment as well – especially if you can get agreement from medical community what rate is safe for you to aim at, then the monitor will ensure you keep close to that rate. Becca.
I’m sorry, Typo, The cardiologist said I had 50% of my heart thats still fulll function. See above for reference.
