 "But during aerobic exercise or prolonged exertion, you primarily burn fat, and that's why aerobic exercise is so important for restoring and maintaining lean body mass. That's also the reason that aerobic exercise raises vitamin D levels. When you burn fat, you liberate vitamin D from that fat and garner it for use elsewhere. It's safe to attribute at least part of the health benefits of exercise to these higher vitamin D levels.
How much exercise does it take to burn fat?"- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Aerobic exercise should be practiced every other day By definition, aerobic exercise:
Is continuous—nonstop.
Lasts at least 12 minutes—preferably 20 minutes oi more. The key is to exercise longer, not harder.
Has a comfortable pace—not so fast that you can't talk during it if you want.
• Involves your leg muscles.
Weight Training should also be practiced every other day. Alternate your days with aerobic exercise. You can go to a gym or use a machine at home.
Stretching should be done every day. It's invaluable as part of your aerobic and weight training sessions to prevent injuries."- Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |

 "We feel that there are three important types of exercises for people with diabetes: aerobic exercise, strength training, and stretching exercises.
Aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, aerobic dance classes, cycling, and swimming produce a rise in heart and respiratory rates. These activities are foundational in both the prevention and treatment of diabetes. You absolutely must incorporate at least 20 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise into your daily routine. If you are not on a regular exercise program, please see Appendix G for some important guidelines."- Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.) |

5. aerobic exercise. Aerobic means "with air." Any form of exercise where you are breathing heavily but can still have a conversation is aerobic exercise. aerobic exercise stimulates blood flow throughout the body, oxygenates the body and speeds the elimination of toxins.
6. Anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic means "without air." Any form of exercise where you are breathing so hard you can barely talk is anaerobic."- Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) |
 "Aerobic means "with air"; anaerobic means "without air." aerobic exercise works the large muscle groups, such as the arms and legs, and also involves other muscle groups in the abdomen and back. You still breathe during anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting, but unless you pump the weights up and down rapidly for a long time, you don't raise your pulse rate enough to elevate your metabolism significantly.
Aerobic exercise challenges your cardiovascular system to supply sufficient oxygen to make energy for your muscles."- James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
 "All subjects performed an 8 week program of supervised aerobic exercise in conjunction with their assigned treatment. Before and following the 8 week intervention, several measurements were performed and used as dependent variables as listed below. Of the 42 subjects who were enrolled, 10 were excluded from analysis because they either dropped out prior to completing the intervention or they had poor compliance with the exercise and/or supplementation. No subject dropped due to problems with the GPLC supplementation."- Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "Another study of a group of employees showed reductions in stress levels and depression, and improvements in feelings of health and vitality after a twenty-four-week program of aerobic exercise when compared to a control group. In a 1985 study, forty-three patients with depression, about half of whom were being treated for the condition with antidepressants, were randomized to receive nine weeks of exercise training (aerobic for one hour, three times a week at 50% to 70% maximum aerobic capacity) or occupational therapy."- J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "These figures are clinically significant, as demonstrated by a 25% reduction in heart attacks because of reductions in blood pressure. aerobic exercise is better for blood pressure than resistance exercise. The beneficial effects of exercise on blood pressure are evident in the first twenty-four hours after exercise, and one to two weeks after the last period of exercise. Furthermore, modest exercise (e.g." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) |
| "You absolutely must incorporate at least 20 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise into your daily routine. If you are not on a regular exercise program, please see Appendix G for some important guidelines. Aerobic activities should take place for Vi to 1 hour on 4 or 5 days of the week. In its simplest form, an aerobic exercise program would consist of a schedule of regular walking combined with cycling, swimming, or low-impact indoor exercise equipment such as an elliptical trainer.
Strength training should take place two or three times per week and should consist of light to moderate weights." - Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.) |

WHAT'S THE BEST EXERCISE FOR YOU?
The best exercises for you are the ones you will do regularly. Be sure to vary your regular exercise routine and work different muscle groups. For example, jog and cycle when the weather is nice and use an indoor rowing machine or cycle, for example, when it is inclement.

| "Alternate your days with aerobic exercise. You can go to a gym or use a machine at home.
Stretching should be done every day. It's invaluable as part of your aerobic and weight training sessions to prevent injuries. It's also great exercise on its own. In addition to helping prevent injuries, stretching also:
Lubricates your joints.
Squeezes lymph through your body.
Revitalizes the discs in your spine. Backbends, in particular, squeeze the discs like a sponge, so that when you telease the stretch, the discs soak up water and fill up to their original size. ?" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |

 "A note of caution about aerobic exercise: The medical journal, Lancet, reported that aerobic exercise can cause deadly arterial clogging and heart disease in those who had never before had heart trouble. According to The American Journal of Cardiology, jogging has similarly caused some runners to drop dead from heart attacks. Their autopsies show severe coronary artery disease. Any regular, strenuous form of exercise actually does about as much damage to your heart as continuous stress does. The heart literally comes under constant attack via the excessive exercise sessions."- Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) |
 "Follow this brief stretching with three to five minutes of low-intensity aerobic exercise.
Exercise phase (twenty to sixty minutes): Do the aerobic exercise of your choice at an appropriate intensity.
Cool-down phase (Ten to fifteen minutes): Ease into three to five minutes of low-intensity aerobic exercise followed by a few minutes of stretching. The cool-down phase is at least as important as the warm-up phase. During aerobic exercise, your blood vessels begin to dilate in order to supply more blood (and oxygen) to your muscles."- Dean Ornish, Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease (Get the book.) |

Strength Benefits
Everyone thinks of strength training as a young person's activity, but in fact, the older you are, the more benefits it provides.
• As reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, two 45-minute weight (strength) training sessions a week can improve bone density, muscle mass, strength, balance, and physical activity in older women (ages 50-70)." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "You also might want to try increasing your exercise levels. aerobic exercise can double HGH levels in the body, but weight training can increase levels by as much as 400-800%. DHEA: I do not recommend supplementation with DHEA at this time without monitoring DHEA levels in your blood. If you insist, try the new 7-Keto formulas. In any case, supplementation with pregnenolone and/or HGH will help raise DHEA levels in the body. If you choose to supplement, do not use daily, as supplementation may suppress the body's own production of DHEA." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |

 "You have cardiovascular exercise, which we describe as aerobic exercise, which increases your body's capacity to process oxygen. That's where you go out and work really hard and raise your heart rate. Swimming would be a good way to get that kind of exercise.
There's also antigravity exercise. For example, if you're trying to prevent osteoporosis, swimming isn't the optimal activity, because it doesn't increase the strength of your bones.

How much exercise does it take to burn fat? About 35 to 50 percent of your maximum oxygen-burning capacity (V02 max), which correlates with 50 to 65 percent of your maximum heart rate (MHR), is how hard you have to work to burn fat (see page 108). Much more or much less and your fat-burning drops off." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "And if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you have to crank it up to at least 45 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise three or more times a week to build enough muscle mass to lower your set point. The formula for calculating your training heart rate is as follows: 220 - age (years) = maximum heart rate (MHR) 15 to 20 minutes at (50 to 65 percent) MHR for maintenance fitness 45 minutes at (50 to 65 percent) MHR for weight loss You can measure your own heart rate or use a heart rate monitor (about $40)." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
 "And unless you're out there exercising for more than 60 minutes doing cardiovascular, aerobic exercise on a regular basis, you generally don't need a sports drink.

 "When you do aerobic exercise for half an hour, you raise your body temperature," Dr. Pearl says. "Five or six hours later, your body temperature drops. So working out after work or before dinner is an ideal way to get your body ready for bed. A lazy way to get that same benefit is soaking in a hot bath. It has to be really hot, at least 102 degrees. When you use passive body heating, the drop in body temperature occurs just about three hours later.
