2 Health Benefits of Exercise Regular exercise can help protect you from heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, cancer, type II diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer s & dementia, back pain, osteoporosis, and can improve your mood and help you to better manage stress. For the greatest overall health benefits, most experts recommend that you do 20 to 30 minutes of activity a day. This is the ultimate goal but don t despair if this seems intimidating, we have 6 tailored programs depending on your current level of activity. If you have been inactive for a while, you can start with less strenuous activities at a comfortable pace. Beginning at a slow pace will allow you to become physically fit without straining your body. Once you are in better shape, you can gradually do more strenuous activity. So how important is exercise? Well regular physical activity that is performed on most days of the week reduces the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading causes of illness and death in the western world as well as improving health in other areas including: Reduces the risk of heart disease. Reduces the risk of developing diabetes. Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure and reduces Helps reduce blood pressure in people who already have high blood pressure. Reduces the risk of most modern-day cancers including colon, prostate and breast cancer. Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety. Helps with weight loss and weight control. Helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints. Promotes psychological well-being. Heart Disease and Stroke - Daily physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, lowering your blood pressure, raising your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (good cholesterol) and lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (bad cholesterol), improving blood flow, and increasing your heart's working capacity. High Blood Pressure - regular physical activity can reduce blood pressure in those with high blood pressure levels. Type II Diabetes - By reducing body fatness, physical activity can help to prevent and control this type of diabetes. Cancer There is convincing evidence that physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of cancers of the colon and breast. Several studies also have reported links between physical activity and a reduced risk of cancers of the prostate, lung, and lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer). National Cancer Institute Obesity exercise burns calories and improves muscle tone and mass, resulting in reduced fat and better weight control. Alzheimers & Dementia - "Regular physical exercise is probably the best means we have of preventing Alzheimer's disease today, better than medications, better than intellectual activity, better than supplements and diet." Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Alzheimer's Research Center at the Mayo Clinic

3 Back Pain - by increasing muscle strength and endurance and improving flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain. Osteoporosis - regular weight-bearing exercise has been proven to promote bone formation and may prevent many forms of bone loss associated with aging. Despite what the dairy board would have you believe, weight-bearing exercise is THE most important factor in bone health. Psychological Effects - regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Researchers also have found that exercise is likely to reduce depression and anxiety and help you to better manage stress. I don t have time Perhaps the most used excuse for not exercising, doesn t work with the Body Weight plan! The key to our program is that workouts can be done anywhere, without any equipment, and in bursts of just 10 minutes, so they are easy to fit into your daily routine and there is no excuse for not having time. Also, because they are short and sweet they don t leave you dreading them or spend most of the time whilst you are doing them wishing they would end. However, to make them work they need to be done with as much intensity as possible. So don t fear them, get aggressive, tackle them head on and smash them! Don t forget, with your new Simplest Cure nutrition program you will have loads more energy as well to help you out!

4 The Body Weight exercise plan is, yes you ve guessed it, very simple Costs nothing No equipment required No need to go to a gym Can be done anywhere (home, work, hotel room, park etc.) Workouts only take 10 minutes Our exercise plan has 6 programs, starting with the White Program and progressing like the belts in martial arts up to the Black Program: White Program Yellow Program Orange Program Red Program Blue Program Black Program So you can choose your starting plan depending on your current fitness level. All you need to do to assess which level is for you is to go for a walk, a wog (combo of walk/jog) or a run and see which category you fall into (see flowchart). NOTE: Wogging a fun combination of walking and jogging. You should do an equal amount of both, i.e. walk 100 metres/jog 100 metres/walk 100 metres/jog 100 metres etc. If you already have an existing sport/activity that you are doing and enjoy then carry on. The programs are designed as a stand-alone but every bit helps, try doing them alongside your current activity. It is important that you show the discipline to stick with the program and follow the set activities. Remember the more exercise you do the better, especially if weight loss is important to you. What you will probably find is that you really start to enjoy it and it doesn t become the chore that you thought it was when you were eating poorly. There is no age limit to exercise either. Studies have shown that regular activity and maintenance of muscle tone have a very beneficial effect with older adults and help prevent falls. A word on intensity. The plans are designed for short burst of activity which research has shown can often be more beneficial than extended periods of exercise. The shorter work-outs also mean that they are easier to plan and fit in to your day. There is a payback though, because they are short it is expected that you will be working to your maximum, whatever level that is. It is an old cliché but true you will only get out of it what you put in. Follow the chart to select your starting plan. If you start a plan and find it is too easy/difficult that is OK, just move to the next one. In this situation it is recommended that you start the new plan from the beginning but if you feel confident enough you can jump in at any stage.

5 How the plan works (i) Workouts The reason the workouts can be so short is that we work continuously. This serves several purposes: Short, intensive workouts Focuses muscle activity Creates better aerobic effect of workout To achieve this and keep the workouts to 10 minutes there are only a maximum of 4 exercises in each workout, usually working a different area of the body (e.g. upper body / core / lower body / plyometrics). The format to follow is: 1. Do maximum number of reps on each exercise, i.e. work until you can do no more. Make sure you squeeze out the last 2 or 3, this is where you will get the most benefit. 2. Move straight onto the next exercise and do the same as above, keep this going until all the exercises have been done and then go back to the first one. 3. Make sure you look at how many sets of each exercise need to be done and sequence your workout accordingly: e.g. Wall Push Up 3 sets, Half Squat 3 sets - just do a set of Wall Push Ups followed by a set of Half Squats and so on. Wall Push Up 6 sets, Half Squat 3 sets, Calf Raises 3 sets - do a set of Wall Push Ups, a set of Half Squats, a set of Wall Push Ups, a set of Calf Raises and so on. To get maximum benefit try and focus on the muscle groups that are working in each particular exercise and contract them to do the work as specifically as possible. (ii) Walking, Wogging, Running Again, these exercises should be short and intense. There is no need to walk or run for hours at a time to achieve and maintain a good level of fitness. For the 20 years that I was playing professional football I never ran for more than 20 minutes in one go on any training run. It is up to you to gauge your speed and make the necessary adjustments. You should be going at a speed that gets you out of breath and sweating but not in too much distress. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being nothing and 10 being working to absolute maximum we should be looking for around a 7. Some days you will feel like pushing it a bit harder and that s fine, go for it. Because we can use the speed we are going at to regulate the difficulty of the walk/wog/run it means that we don t have to run for longer than 20 minutes maximum at any one time, and therefore this can easily fitted in to our weekly routine. However, if you feel like going for longer than 20 minutes that s great! Wogging - this is a combination of walking and jogging. Simply decide on the distance that you want to jog, e.g. 100 metres, and then jog and walk alternately. Often it is easy to just use the street lamps as your measure if you are running on the pathway, e.g. jog 3 streetlamps, walk for 3 street lamps.
