Anti-Aging Exercise Program.LAKE MILLS, Wis. -- After years of research and practicing what he preaches, Phil Campbell, the 52-year-old author of Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness reports that anaerobic exercise anaerobic exercise, n physical activity, which instigates a metabolism that does not depend on oxygen. Examples include isotonics, in which the muscles contract against an object of resistance with movement (e.g. makes the body release significant amounts of exercise-induced human growth hormone human growth hormone (HGH): see growth hormone. (HGH HGH, hGH human growth hormone. HGH abbr. human growth hormone hGH Human growth hormone. See Growth hormone. ). This substance reduces fat and tones muscle quickly, tightens skin to reduce wrinkles, and boosts energy in adults. Anaerobic exercise (as compared to aerobic exercise aerobic exercise, n sustained repetitive physical activity, such as walking, dancing, cycling, and swimming, that elevates the heart rate and increases oxygen consumption resulting in improved functioning of cardio-vascular and respiratory systems. ) involves short, high-intensity sprint training, rather than endurance training. The American Heart Association American Heart Association (AHA), n.pr a national voluntary health agency that has the goal of increasing public and medical awareness of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, and thereby reducing the number of associated deaths and disabilities. has cited research showing anaerobic exercise can significantly lower the risk of heart disease. Put simply, as exercise intensity goes up, the risk of heart disease goes down. Reuters Health has also recently cited research that confirms that seniors need at least a medium-low intensity or more to keep their brains fit. This type of physical activity protects the brain by keeping the heart and blood vessels Blood vessels Tubular channels for blood transport, of which there are three principal types: arteries, capillaries, and veins. Only the larger arteries and veins in the body bear distinct names. healthy, boosting blood flow to the brain and reducing the risk of stroke. "As children, HGH makes us grow taller," Campbell explains," but when we reach our full height, this hormone changes roles. When we're adults, HGH reduces body fat and trims inches, and it actually becomes the 'fitness hormone' for middle-aged and older adults." New studies show that HGH can be increased by as much as 530% with sprinting.
