Pee-jay ♥s Peak 8


The Outstanding Health Benefits of Peak 8 Exercises (from Dr Mercola)

Peak 8 exercises will save you a tremendous amount of time because you’ll be able to cut your hour- or longer cardio workout down to a total of 20 minutes or so, and that’s including your warm-up, recovery time, and cool down.

The actual sprinting portion of the exercises only takes four minutes!

Once you regularly do Peak 8 exercises about twice a week and are following well-rounded workout routine, incorporating stretching, core work and strength training, along with consuming the right fuel for your body, you’ll notice that you have:

        * Lower body fat
        * Improved muscle tone
        * Firmer skin and less wrinkles
        * Have more energy and sexual desire
        * Enhanced athletic speed and performance
        * Achieved your fitness goals much faster

Peak 8 exercises may also help fight the signs of aging by naturally stimulating the release of human growth hormone (HGH), which is KEY for strength, health, and longevity. The higher your levels of HGH, the healthier and stronger you're going to be.

However, as you reach your 30s, you enter a phase called somatopause, wherein your HGH levels start decreasing dramatically. This is part of what drives the aging process. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle and don’t exercise, your HGH levels will drop even further.

Thankfully, peak fitness exercises can naturally raise your growth hormone levels.

How does this type of exercise achieve this?

Well, you have three different types of muscle fibers: slow, fast, and super-fast. Most people, including many athletes such as marathon runners, only train using their slow muscle fibers, which is what you do when you do traditional aerobic cardio and strength training. This has the unfortunate effect of causing the super-fast fibers to decrease.

Performing high-intensity burst cardio like Peak 8 exercises, however, engages your super-fast or white muscle fibers, which are 10 times faster than slow fibers.

Engaging your super-fast muscle fibers is the key to producing HGH!

The longer your body produces high levels of HGH, the longer you can preserve robust health and strength.

If you do Peak Fitness workouts twice a week and eat according to your nutritional type (Dr. Mercola now offers the entire online nutritional typing test for free!), then you will naturally increase your production of growth hormone. Click here to see the full article.
