Book Spotlight: Total Fitness in Thirty Minutes a Week
TAKU • May 3, 2023
Anyone who is a regular visitor to the TNT Strength blog knows that I am always on a quest to find the most efficient and effective ways to attain and maintain fitness. For many years I have been an advocate of brief, intense strength training, as well as a strong proponent for the merits of interval training, and other methods of less protracted “CARDIO” exercise.
With this in mind I highly recommend you seek out the book:
by Laurence Englemohr Morehouse, and Leonard Gross.
Dr. Lawrence Morehouse
founded
UCLA´s
performance laboratory and wrote sections on exercise and physical conditioning for the Encyclopedia Britannica. He designed
NASA’s
fitness program for the astronauts. Most notably, he discovered that a combination of exercises for short periods of time daily can provide all the muscle developing, stretching, aerobic stimulation and cardiovascular conditioning most people need.
Dr. Morehouse’s
findings revealed that we need very little exercise each day-if it´s the right kind of exercise.
Morehouse
, advocates vigorous exercise as monitored by your pulse rate, for its beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. Among some of his unconventional ideas,
Dr. Morehouse
, suggests that 10 minutes of vigorous exercise, three times a week, is all that is needed for complete cardiovascular conditioning. (Something I have been advocating since 1989).
Total Fitness in Thirty Minutes a Week Exposes myths about physical fitness, intense exercise and strict diet plans and proposes a targeted approach to conditioning based on individual lifestyles and the regulating of metabolic systems.
TAKU’s NOTE: Although this book was originally published 1976, it is well worth finding a copy and giving it a thorough read through.
