<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Fitness researcher and pioneer John Little has spent years researching the science underpinning our most prevalent beliefs about exercise and is convinced that we need a new paradigm, one that would involve reliance on briefer workouts. He presents this revolutionary new approach here.</b> <p/>There is something terribly wrong with the state of exercise as we know it presently. Sales of treadmills, running shoes, gym memberships, and yoga classes are at an all-time high, but so too are our national levels of obesity and type II diabetes. <p/>Ever since the 1960s the exercising public has been told to stretch for flexibility and to perform low-intensity steady-state aerobic exercise for their cardiovascular systems and some form of resistance training to keep their muscles strong. With regard to diet, they have been told to restrict or omit macronutrients such as fats and carbohydrates and lots of other advice with regard to calorie-counting. Could it be that this information, however well intended, was mistaken? And is it really necessary to devote so much time to the pursuit? <p/>Among the fascinating revelations presented in this book: <br><ul><li>Certain types of exercise can actually make you less healthy and fatter.</li><li>Taking large doses of food supplements might actually shorten your life and put you at greater risk for disease.</li><li>Stretching to become more flexible or to recover quicker from injury has been found to do neither of these things.</li><li>Resistance training, once considered to be the weak sister of exercise, is now looking like the best form of exercise one should engage in.</li></ul><br>The new protocols that Little exposes offer a far safer alternative for those looking to become stronger, fitter, and healthier without spending their lives in the gym.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Too many people flounder about on unproductive exercise routines, or worse: engage in activities that cause significant wear and tear that will ultimately, if not immediately, catch up with them. This book presents an alternative for those who have no desire to suffer those outcomes and for those who desire to invest time in alternative pursuits, rather than accumulating hours in the gym."<br><b>--Simon Shawcross, Founder of HITuni</b> <p/> "When you combine [John Little's] decades of experience training thousands of subjects with his unique intellectual orientation, the result is the book you hold in your hands. <i>The Time-Saver's Workout </i>is the perfect title for this book. It will not only show the most time efficient way to get the body you want, it will save you years wasted going down blind alleys or getting injured."<br><b>--Doug McGuff, MD, Coauthor of <i>Body By Science</i></b> <p/> "<i>The Time-Saver's Workout</i> is a very well researched book. It successfully challenges the myths surrounding the risk/benefits of many popular forms of "exercise." I am a believer and a 10-year veteran client of John's at Nautilus North-- 20 minutes a week! Anyone can commit and benefit from this training method."<br><b>--Graeme Gair, MD</b><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Little</b> has been a personal trainer for more than a dozen years.
