Advice Goddess Radio: Tonight, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET -- Fred Hahn On Science-Based Fitness: How To Be Healthier Than A Marathon-Runner With Only 15 Minutes Of Exercise
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
Tonight a very special guest: Exercise trainer and rehab expert Fred Hahn on why slow-speed strength training, for just a few minutes a week, will make you healthier than a marathon runner. (He will lay out fascinating and solid evidence throughout the show.)
Listen live at this link at 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern, or download the podcast afterward:

Fred is co-author, with Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Mary Dan Eades, whom I greatly respect, of The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution: The Slow-Motion Exercise That Will Change Your Body In 30 Minutes A Week.
He will debunk all the myths most of us hold about exercise and fitness, and leave you with a plan for exercise that will strengthen your heart and bones and increase your metabolism, and will only eat 12-15 minutes of your week.
We'll also be touching on Strong Kids, Healthy Kids, his book for how you can get your kids fit through slow-burn.
This is a not-to-be-missed show. This method of exercise has improved my health and my life and I'm hoping you'll follow my lead.
UPDATE: Fred's site -- seriousstrength.com. I haven't done a session with him, but I will invest in an hour with him to find out how to do right all the things I'm sure I'm doing wrong when I'm in NYC, where his gym is. You can hear on the show what a good guy he is -- this was one of the most important shows I've done for the positive impact I think it will make on so many people's lives.
And don't miss last week's show with dietary researcher Dr. Jeff Volek. He lays out the science behind why you should declare your independence from dietary carbohydrates -- sugar, flour, starchy vegetables like potatoes, apple juice -- that cause the insulin secretion that puts on fat.
Dr. Michael Eades calls Dr. Volek's book (co-authored with Dr. Stephen Phinney) "the best low-carb book in print."

Just a guess, but I imagine most marathoners don't do it for health (mostly). It's their zen, their way of getting out of their heads and just being, for a while. And a sense of accomplishment, of pushing oneself.

Amy, please ask him about slow burn and those of us over 65. I bought his book, scanned it, and showed it to my doctor. He told me not to do it because of my arthritic knees and my damage from steroid myopathy. I'm getting weaker and weaker. I'd like to try this if I can; afterall, my doctor is the one that gave steroid myopathy with the many years of shot to my knees.

It eats your knees and hips and has other health costs, and this form of exercise seems to be the healthiest and most efficient.

Yes, bu how much can you lift? I'm trying to make my scrawny, stringy muscles stronger by lifting weights. I figure I gotta go at least twice a week to get results.
Keep in mind, of course, that it pays for us guys to be big and strong to attract you womenfolk.

Great show! Now I just ordered his book through your Amazon link.

A fantastic show, and the timing couldn't have been better for me. I have been wanting to start an exercise program but felt lost at all the options and conflicting information out there. I'm thin thanks to low-carbing, but I feel weak as anything... I was going to rekindle my at-home Pilates routine, but now I know better. I'm going to buy the book now, and I'm sure heavy water bottles and other cleverly improvised weights will soon follow!!
