Dont waste another day or another dime training anywhere else!

Two men are working out on a Friday afternoon. One is jogging along the side of the road. Cars whiz by as he plods along his route. He’s sweating liberally and breathing rhythmically. On Thursday, he jogged for three miles:the day before he jogged 5; on Tuesday it was three miles; and Monday saw him hitting the pavement for 6 miles. Today, after his usual ten minute warm-up of stretching movements, so as to not pull anything while jogging, he’s hoping to get five miles in and finish the week at twenty-two miles. In addition, just as it was on Monday and Wednesday, today his his day to strength train, which he’ll do for one hour right after he finishes his jog. He’s thinking that he might slow his pace a little today, maybe take a little longer to get the five miles in, because the last time he jogged a little faster, that old shin splint flared up a bit, leaving him too fatigued to work out comfortably. He also has to cool down afterward, so that will be another ten minutes of walking and stretching.
He’s a little bit stressed today about being able to get all this in over the next three hours. He will still have to get showered, drive home in time to pick up his family, and then drive across town to his daughters dance recital. But, hey, health comes first. He decides to call his wife; she can take the daughter to the recital, and he’ll do his best to get there on time. He rationalizes away that gnawing feeling that he really should be there for his daughter by telling himself that he can do only what he can do. He’ll get there when he gets there. His time spent away from his family engaged in his health and fitness pursuit this week totaled twelve hours, not including driving time.
The other man is at a strength training facility, where he is completing the last repetition of a set of leg presses. He performed two other exercises prior to this one, spending 90 seconds on a chest press machine and three minutes on an overhead pull-down machine, and he’s hoping to get three minutes on this set of leg presses as well. To the surprise of both him and his trainer, it takes him four minutes to reach positive failure on today’s leg press exercise. As he doesn’t rest between exercises, his actual training time today is eight and a half minutes. His trainer reviews his chart with him after the workout, which shows that his strength is up 20 percent on both the pull-down and the chest press, his leg strength is up 30 percent, and his leg endurance is up 45 percent. “Great workout” his trainer says as the man heads out the door and back to work, “see you in another seven days!” His time spent away from his family engaged in his health and fitness pursuit this week has totaled eight and a half minutes, not including driving time.
Which scenario will you choose for yourself…a version of the former….or the latter. Let me be perfectly clear about this…scenario one ‘s guy is probably unhealthy…a mass of orthopedic injuries, compromised immune system manifesting in frequent infections, and recent evidence clearly shows a vulnerable heart, lungs and entire cardio vascular system. Scenario two’s guy is the polar opposite…his health is vibrant…he rarely gets sick because his immune system is powerful and growing stronger and his heart lungs and cardiovascular system have reponded to his high intensity brief sessions by getting immensely strong and are almost bulletproof. And this guy doesn’t stress about how to fit in his workouts, has twelve extra hours a week to spend with his family and enjoy life and make more money if he so chooses. Is there really any sane, intelligent choice? I don’t think so…and I will do my best to help as many intelligent people become aware of this as possible.

More Benefits You Can’t Live Without
We hope You Agree With Our Assessment!

1. An exercise program scientifically designed to produce maximum possible results in the minimum amount of time. In the beginning we were willing to spend any amount of time to produce maximum results…but we soon discovered that to produce these results, the exercise had to be brief in the extreme..In effect long workouts were found to be worse than worthless…they were counterproductive…and always reduced results…so if you know any misguided souls who exercise for much more than a half hour at a time and more than 2 or at most 3 times per week…do them a gigantic favor and tell them to stop wasting their time, money and bodily resources!!!
2. An exercise program that is the safest on the planet…which seems counter intuitive at first because it is so intense. But let me assure you that even the most intense final gut wrenching exertions that you perform in our workouts are far safer than the fast movements that thousands of trainees perform in exercise classes…throwing dumbells around…doing cardio pump with light to medium weights…without getting bogged down in Physics 101 please take my word that our incredibly intense slow movements with heavy weights are far safer than the aforementioned activities.
3. An exercise program that addresses cardiovascular exercise properly. Even trainees with active disease will be safer performing our slow exercise than steady state treadmill, bike, elliptical training. Blood pressure response and heart rate are much more moderate and controlled in a properly performed SuperSlow type workout…and the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations that accompany our workouts are lifesaving. Every winter snow shovelers who are avid walkers and runners suffer heart attacks while relocating the white stuff…people of all ages who practice proper strength training never have the same fate.
4. You won’t find any one qualified, competent, much less certified to teach you this exercise at ANY other New Jersey Facility except JWBF. Ask a trainer at any other gym who Ken Hutchins or Arthur Jones is. Ask them why they think you should perform multiple sets…if split routines are ok…the difference between inroading and intensity and if the isolation or compound movement is performed first when employing pre exhaustion…all you’ll get is a deer in the headlights…and that is really really sad.
Well there are 4 benefits…things we at JWBF can offer you that you won’t find anywhere else in NJ. I always say NJ and I could say most of the country except that my dear friends Roger Schwab in Bryn Mawr, Pa and Jim Flannagan In Orlando Florida and Dr. Doug McGuff in Seneca, SC and Fred Hahn in NY, NY offer almost exactly similar benefits….and there are a few others spread across the country…but they are few and far between…and in my obviously biased opinion, JWBF is still at the top of the list!!

Next Installment….Eat to Live, Paleo Nutrition, Peskin Protocol, Real Diet of Man

To all biggest loser fans…

Here is a comment by a medical doctor/exercise scientist who tuned in for the first time on February eighth, 2010. He wasn’t very happy with what he saw…mostly from a science viewpoint. Dr. McGuff(who I have met on several occasions and am proud to call him a friend) felt everything was wrong….the huge volume of inefficient exercise, the stress of being yelled at, insulted, and spat upon…and a diet designed to create ravenous cravings. He passionately feels that long term goals could be achieved and maintained with better overall health by following the principles of high intensity/low force exercise, hunter gather paleo type nutrition, and stress reduction. But, this wouldn’t entice advertisers to plunk down $$$$$$$$$$ to the biggest loser producers…but you don’t have follow unproductive, unsafe, inefficient and often counterproductive exercise recommendations.

Joel…let me know what you think.

I did my “Little 6” workout at around noon on Sunday. I am in the middle of a string of evening shifts at the ER and it has been very busy. As such, I made it a point to terminate each set immediately at the onset of failure. This turned out to be a good strategy as I feel fairly good today despite only 5 hours sleep.

Last night at work I went into our office/locker area for a mental health break and The Biggest Loser was on TV. I came in right at the introduction. I have never watched this show, as I assumed it would be ridiculous. I was shocked how much I had underestimated. I could not believe the amount and types of exercise these poor people were being put through. They even showed one contestant collapsing on a treadmill and being spit off the back of the machine by the spinning tread. Then there were multiple scenes of the contestants being screamed at by that Gillian lady in the tank-top/midriff shirt (talk about narcissistic) and some sadistic guy with tattoos all over his arms. The instructors’ contempt for the obese was obvious as they spewed insults (and saliva) in the faces of the contestants. I don’t care how fat or desperate I was, if someone did this to me I would punch them in the face and storm off the set. I checked in on the show between patients. The diet and exercise shown were prescriptive for ravenous hunger and ultimate failure. As I continued to work, I kept thinking about the importance of biologic signaling, and why it does not have to be this hard.

The key to turning around these sorts of metabolic disasters is to send the correct biologic and hormonal signals. If the correct signals are given, there is a disproportionate improvement in the metabolic state and body composition. This disproportionate response is courtesy of a second messenger system. Most hormones do not act directly on their target organ or tissue. This is usually because the hormone or chemical messenger is usually a protein that carries a charge which prevents it from being lipid soluble. Remember, cell membranes are a lipid bilayer. The fats that make up a cell membrane orient themselves so that the water soluble end of the fat faces toward the outside and the interior of the cell. The water repelling tails of these lipids face each other on the inside of the cell wall. Most hormones or chemical messengers cannot diffuse through the inner (water repelling) layer of the cell membrane. Instead, the hormone will have receptors that are fat soluble that traverse the cell membrane. These receptors bind the hormone on the exterior of the cell wall and transmit the signal to another chemical messenger inside the cell…this other chemical messenger is the second messenger. The unique thing is that the second messenger then activates a chemical cascade that multiplies the signal at the target. This way a single molecule of primary messenger can produce thousands of second messenger signals at the target.
This is why a proper signal is so important…the beneficial effect is hugely magnified. A brief, but intense workout that fatigues the musculature activates growth hormone, testosterone and adrenaline which all signal to empty glycogen and fat, both short and long-term. A hunter-gatherer diet creates a low insulin signal which triggers the body to defend a lower body fat set point. Overtraining (especially in the obese) triggers cortisol and other stress hormones. A low fat, high carbohydrate diet signals insulin release. These signals defend a high level of stored fat and drive huger…a true prescription for misery and failure. If these poor contestants could take advantage of the second messenger system they could achieve their goals without all the misery and without obnoxious fitness gurus screaming and sputtering in their face.

Result-Producing Training Approach

We understand that proper exercise is a stimulus which acts on your body to demand an adaptive change. There are three fundamental variables involved in this relationship which we use at JWBF to produce the best results for our clients.
I. High Intensity- To stimulate your body to make an adaptive change your exercise intensity must cross a certain threshold before your body will respond. By training to muscular failure, we send an alarm to your body that more muscle and improved metabolic ability are needed. Also, we use a training protocol called “SuperSlow” which involves lifting and lowering the weights over a 10 second time frame. This eliminates acceleration and momentum which keeps the muscle under continuous load and more effectively fatigues the muscle.
II. Brief Workouts- All of our workouts last 30 minutes or less. We desire the minimum amount of exercise that will produce the stimulus for adaptation. Anything beyond this amount of exercise only acts to consume precious recovery resources.
III. Infrequent Workouts- Reaching the required stimulus intensity threshold consumes a large amount of your body’s resources and the subsequent adaptive changes are metabolically expensive. Replenishing resources and making metabolic investments takes time. Reintroducing the stimulus (a workout) too soon will interrupt these processes.
IV. Precise Record-Keeping- Keeping precise records of your workout performance allows us to know if we are manipulating the variables of intensity, duration, and frequency appropriately. By doing this our clients can show progress on every exercise of every workout.
Ideal Training Environment

I. Privacy- during your workout it will seem like it is only you and your instructor in the training area.
II. No Distractions- no mirrors, no music, no meatheads, no children, no loud colors, no plants, foliage or decorations.
III. The Best Equipment- We use Med-X, Lamb, Real Nautilus and Motivator Systems equipment. All of our Equipment is specially modified for using JWBF high intensity slow training protocol.
IV. Environmental Control- The temperature is kept at a stable 61 degrees F. Research has shown that this is the optimal temperature for performing high intensity exercise.
A “No Compromise” Facility
Your time is valuable and we will never waste it by having you do any form of exercise that is inefficient or non-productive.
We ambivalently offer aerobics equipment. It would be easiest if we simply “gave clients what they wanted”, but aerobics is not usually done at JWBF because it is an activity that consumes precious recovery resources for no productive purpose. Instead, we spend large amounts of time educating our clients about the actual requirements of proper exercise.
We train our clients very infrequently. During the first few weeks our clients train 2 to 3 days a week. Within 2-3 weeks all of our clients go to twice a week training. This is not just something we can “get away with”, it is an actual requirement for the production of the best results. Make no mistake, we could make more money if we trained clients 3 or 4 times per week but the results would suffer. At JWBF we want the client to be paying for results, not time spent in the gym.
Ultimate Exercise is under the direct control of those who will provide your training. We do not have to answer to investors or shareholders. Our only concern is the production of rapid, uninterrupted results for our clients.

1. I don’t like to exercise…will I be able to stick to this program?

I bet you don’t like to floss your teeth or take out the garbage….but you do because it is a necessity of life. Believe us at JWBF, proper exercise and healthy nutrition are necessities for a long healthy  active life. We transition people into the  highest phases of our program at a pace they can tolerate. Give it 3 to 6 months, you won’t believe the changes and you will never go back…you will feel so good you won’t believe it!!!

2.Why should I consider personal training over just a gym membership?

First let me say that a standard gym membership at JWBF is an enormous value…and probably way more valuable  than even personal training at any other gym in NJ. Almost all of the exercise machines are available to you and all of the knowledge of Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat to Live program…but human nature is a strange thing. If you are not a highly motivated person you will always get even better results working with one of our highly motivated higly competent trainers…let’s be clear, without the trainer you will get excellent results…with the trainer your results will be even better…much better. It’s all about you and your budget and how badly you want to achieve your new you!

3. I’m a woman and I don’t want big bulky muscles…should I be concerned?

LOL LOL….excuse me for laughing, but I wish it was that easy to get big bulky muscles. It’s hard, sometimes impossible for most men….for women it’s almost impossible. The few women you see on television with overly large muscles have one in a 100,000 genetics and probably take male hormones…it’s not going to happen to you.

4. Why is your exercise better than pilates, spinning, aerobics, jogging, boxing, kettlebells or whatever the latest fad du jour might be.

I could write volumes on this one and offend a lot of people. The JWBF high intensity exercise program is truly “one stop shopping” when it comes to exercise. One half hour session will stimulate

Maximum Strength Gains

Largescale Cardiovascular Improvement

Maximum “Metabolic Ability” Gains

Enhanced Flexibility

Maximum Body Reshaping through Lean Muscle Gains

The above mentioned activities, pilates etc., might address one or two components…never more…..require 60 to 90 minutes to perform…and expose the trainee to serious risk of injury because of speed of movement and impact forces. There is no program that even comes close to JWBF’s…all five important aspects of fitness….total safety….and very little time spent exercising…there really is no valid basis for comparison between our program and any other type of exercise out there.
