What The Zone did for diet, The 10-Minute L.E.A.P. now does for exercise! Staying healthy isn't just a matter of diet -- exercise is crucial. However, many people find excuses not to do it. Now, Richard L. Brown, Ph.D., an Olympic coach and trainer to some of the top track and field athletes in the world, offers a powerful, compelling new exercise program that is easy, sustainable, and guarantees optimal performance at all times -- a program that increases energy and alertness, enhances sexual performance, helps combat disease, extends your life, and makes you look and feel better. Based on the most up-to-date physiological and health research and Brown's own experiences training athletes, the L.E.A.P. (Lifetime Exercise Adherence Plan) is a personal mentor that shows you how to: measure your fitness level; create a practical, flexible physical activity program that's realistic and right for you -- including how often, how long, and how hard to work; set goals you can achieve that keep you in the optimal beneficial "zone" without physical or psychological burnout; measure your progress as you accurately evaluate your performance with every activity. With L.E.A.P., you will be able to determine just how much energy your body is capable of converting at any given time through physical activities -- even those not commonly considered exercise, such as gardening, raking leaves, and vacuuming. In segments as small as ten minutes a day, you can maintain and improve your health, fitness, and quality of life. Brown answers commonly asked questions and offers practical tools that help in setting training schedules, maintaining a balanced diet, attaining accurate intensity measurements, reducing stress, and staying motivated. Now you can make exercise a consistent, beneficial and enjoyable part of your life. Get the best from yourself -- take the L.E.A.P to a new, supercharged you. - Publisher.
