FAQS

  • In a very real sense it is. Think about what you commonly hear and read about exercise. The typical recommendations are as follows: Be active everyday for at least 30-60 minutes, do aerobics, stretching and weights at least three times a week. The question is, where do these come from? Is there any scientific data to back these recommendations up?

    The answer is no. And when you look at the data on exercise, as we have at SlowBurn, you find that resistance training, done twice a week for 15-20 minutes a session is all the exercise one needs in order to improve all aspects of your health. See our benefits page for links to the citations that support this statement.

  • It is important to understand the difference between aerobic exercise and cardiovascular exercise. Strength training, performed properly, challenges the cardiovascular system more than adequately enough to keep your cardiovascular system healthy – genetics aside (even champion runners can have heart disease and die of heart attacks at an early age). Strength training alone will not make you into a champion runner or swimmer. But you do not need to be an aerobic champion to have a healthy, strong cardiovascular system. If you already enjoy recreational “aerobic” activities, adding SlowBurn to your aerobic activities will allow you to perform these activities better, safer, and for many years to come. Conversely, if you do not enjoy physical activity, don’t worry! SlowBurn is all you need. Along with a healthy diet your doctor will be pleased (and I’ll bet you amazed) with your overall health at checkup time using SlowBurn alone.

  • No, clients won’t need one! The SlowBurn workout is safe, effective and involves no sweating! No need to shower. The studio is cool and the air filtered.
