But Does 20 Minutes To Fitness Work?

The question is, does 20 Minutes to Fitness deliver the strength-building benefits the medical community says are so important?

You might ask the dozens of doctors and medical researchers that work out at 20 Minutes to Fitness – many of whom have trained with us for years.

Or you might ask Dr. Fulton C. Kornack, an orthopedic surgeon and professor at Harvard Medical School, who wrote the forward to a book written on the workout regimen used by 20 Minutes. Dr. Kornack writes, “When I was first asked to evaluate [this workout], I was doubtful about what seemed to be far too simple a plan. As a doctor and a scientist, I am not interested in becoming a passionate disciple of the latest fad, but a user and recommender of a philosophy of life that will help my patients and myself to achieve the conditioning and overall health goals we all want.” The workout prescribed at 20 Minutes, he determined, is just that.

FAQ-

Why is rest and relaxation such a big part of the 20 Minutes to Fitness workout?

Once you have worked your muscles to the point of exhaustion, it takes time for them to repair and restore the tiny tears in your muscle fibers and build new muscle fiber. The best thing you can do after a workout is to rest and allow the muscle to recover. This process can be enhanced with proper nutrition and hydration.

What is “Slow Cadence strength training?” How does it work?

With Slow Cadence, weights are lifted in a series of ultra-slow movements, each repetition lasting 20 seconds, eliminating the benefits of gravity and momentum. Within 1 ½ to 3 minutes on each machine, your muscles will reach exhaustion — which is the goal! It takes three to six days for the muscle to rest and recover.

FAQ
• I’ve never lifted weights before. Is this workout too intense for me?
 Absolutely not! Building muscle is a process. We will tailor your workout to where you are today, and will slowly increase weights as your strength grows. Our training regimen is safe for persons 18 to 80 – or older. Younger teens require parental permission. Our scientifically engineered equipment works for persons who can leg press 1,000 pounds – as well as those who can only handle 40 pounds.

Our studios are equipped with high-end MedX equipment, which has been scientifically engineered for our slow cadence approach. It may LOOK like the equipment you see in a traditional, high-end gym, but it’s not, due to:


“Double stacking” – Our machines use “double stacking,” which means we use smaller weight increments, enabling us to more precisely adjust the equipment to your needs.
Special calibration – MedX equipment also uses a series of specially calibrated cams and pulleys, designed to create less friction and a constant level of resistance through your full range of motion.


Constant supervision – You train under the constant supervision of your personal coach, who tracks your progress and adjusts the weights and settings on each machine to fit your needs, our training is extremely safe, effective and time efficient.

10/10/2022

Everything we do is medically based and designed to take each of your major muscle groups to exhaustion. Each session, you work out on high-end MedX equipment that is specially calibrated to work specific muscle groups to your level of strength and fitness — without putting stress on joints, bones and ligaments. Your personal fitness coach stays with you the entire time, setting the equipment for you and encouraging you as you reach exhaustion. Without your coach, you’d quit long before you ought to! It typically only takes a minute and a half to three minutes per machine to reach the point of muscle failure. Then, your coach convinces you to hold on for an additional 10 seconds. This is where the benefit of this approach really kicks in. During your “time off” during the week, your muscle is rebuilding and growing stronger.

Build Strength

Beginning at age 30, we all start to lose muscle mass — jumpstarting the aging process. By age 40, muscle loss accelerates, slowing our metabolism as we gain more fat. Strength training helps to stop or reverse this decline. By requiring you to lift weights at a snail’s pace, our training regimen forces your muscles to work harder because you can’t rely on momentum to propel your movements. This approach is especially efficient in building the lean muscle mass you need to support an active lifestyle. Muscle always looks better than fat, too. (Note: Contrary to popular belief, strength training does not build new muscle cells. Your muscle gets stronger when the existing fibers become thicker.)

But Does 20 Minutes To Fitness Work?

The question is, does 20 Minutes to Fitness deliver the strength-building benefits the medical community says are so important?

Want More Proof?

University of Florida Medical School researchers reported in 1982 that extremely slow weight-lifting on specially designed equipment improves strength, bone density and overall functionality.

A later study reported in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness concluded that slow cadence resulted in a 50 percent greater strength gain than conventional weight lifting.

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition caused by the gradual thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density. Left untreated, it can result in broken bones and increased frailty — the primary reason older adults wind up in nursing homes. Our medically based, load-bearing workouts can actually help prevent osteoporosis by reducing bone loss and increasing bone density. By stimulating the growth of certain cells (osteoclasts and osteoblasts), our workout lowers the risk of bone fractures, especially in menopausal and post-menopausal women.
