60-SECOND SWEAT
By Striet, Patrick
The 60-Second Sweat combines hot fitness trends High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) into a single efficient and effective training program, with each exercise requiring no more than 1 minute at a time.There are - literally - thousands of fitness programs out there to choose from. What makes the 60-Second Sweat different? For the past 15 years, Patrick Striet has run a fitness training facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he has worked with hundreds of every day men and women - working moms, college students, senior citizens, middle-aged men, and more (plus a few elite athletes) . Through this experience, he has identified the barriers most people face when it comes to exercising consistently - lack of time, lack of results, injuries, boredom - and specifically designed the 60-Second Sweat to address them. The 60-Second Sweat is: Efficient: Most mainstream fitness programs call for a 5 to 6-day per week commitment, with workouts ranging up to an hour (or more) in duration. What's more, most programs focus on one component of fitness in each workout. For example, you might do cardiovascular exercises for 45 minutes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then strength train for an hour on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Who has time for that? Not me ... and probably not you either. With the 60-Second Sweat, you'll work out between 20 to 40 minutes a day for 3 to 4 days a week, and you will never be performing the same exercise or activity for more than 1 minute at a time. Effective: HIIT (high-intensity interval training) , in which you alternate between bouts of intense exercise and short "rest" periods, has been a growing fitness trend for several years now, and for good reason. Research has shown that it's more effective than traditional steady-state workouts for both building cardiovascular fitness and shedding fat. However, it neglects muscular fitness, which is key for boosting metabolism. So the 60-Second Sweat combines HIIT with MRT (metabolic resistance training) to build strength along with cardiovascular fitness in one comprehensive workout. Safe: Keeping in mind the typical orthopedic issues most "real world" adult face - cranky knees, aching backs, stiff shoulders, and sore necks - the 60-Second Sweat gives equal weight to every muscle group, and not just the showy mirror muscles emphasized by many fitness programs. Exercises progress gradually in difficulty and intensity so that you start seeing results right away, building from a beginner level to advanced in just 9 weeks. Varied: The 60-Second Sweat is a balanced and functional movement-based plan, requiring basic and fundamental human movement patterns performed with bare bones equipment. During the 60-Second Sweat workouts, you will never be performing the same exercise or activity for more than 1 minute, so you will never get bored. Every exercise, set, rep ... every minute ... will count for and towards something: developing the best and fittest you! Bottom line: the days of inefficient, archaic, time-consuming, unsafe, and impractical fitness workouts are over. Based on the most up-to-date principles in modern exercise science, the 60-Second Sweat is a program, not just a workout. It is not a short-term fix, but, rather, a roadmap to the fittest, most confident you. While the 60-Second Sweat workouts will certainly challenge you and leave you dripping in sweat, that's not the end goal. The purpose of the programs in this book is for you to attain phenomenal and sustainable fitness ... safely and realistically ... 1 minute at a time.

Our Bodies, Our Data
By Tanner, Adam
How the hidden trade in our sensitive medical information became a multibillion-dollar business, but has done little to improve our health-care outcomesHidden from consumers, patient medical data has become a multibillion-dollar worldwide trade between our health-care providers, drug companies, and a complex web of middlemen. This great medical-data bazaar sells copies of our prescriptions, hospital records, insurance claims, blood-test results, and more, stripped of names but still containing identifiers such as year of birth, gender, and doctor's name. As computing grows ever more sophisticated, these patient dossiers are increasingly vulnerable to re-identification, which could make them a target for identity thieves or hackers.Paradoxically, comprehensive electronic files for patient treatment - a key reason medical data exists in the first place - remain an elusive goal. Even today, patients and their doctors rarely have easy access to full records that could improve care. In the evolution of medical data, the instinct for profit has outstripped patient needs. This book reveals the previously hidden story of how such a system evolved internationally.This investigative narrative seeks to spark debate on how we can best balance the promise big data offers to advance medicine and improve lives, while preserving the rights and interests of every patients. We, the patients, deserve a say in this discussion. After all, it's our data.

Manly Health and Training
By Whitman, Walt
A truly significant discovery, Walt Whitmans Manly Health and Training is an entertaining health manifesto that sheds new light on one of Americas major nineteenth-century authors. . In the fall of 1858, a thirteen-part essay series appeared in the New York Atlas, under the title Manly Health and Training. This nearly 47,000-word journalistic effort, written by Walt Whitman under his pen name "Mose Velsor," was lost for more than 150 years, buried in just a handful of library archives, until its recent unexpected discovery. What you hold in your hands is a long-lost health manifesto that, remarkably, is as relevant today as it was back in the nineteenth century. A truly illuminating discovery that reveals much about a little-known period in Whitmans life, this mens guide features earnest recommendations for eating, sleeping, and exercise, emphasizing moderation and focusing on the holistic relationship between the mind and the body: - Be a carnivore: "Let the main part of the diet be meat, to the exclusion of all else." - Engage in vigorous exercise: "Habituate yourself to the brisk walk in the fresh air - to the exercise of pulling the oar - and to the loud declamation upon the hills, or along the shore." - Go to bed by 10 p.m.: ". . . with a plentiful supply of good air, during the six, seven, or eight hours that are spent in sleep. During most of the year, the window must be kept partly open for this purpose." - Take a cold shower in the morning: "In most cases the best thing he can commence the day with is a rapid wash of the whole body in cold water, using a sponge, or the hands." - Wear comfortable shoes: "Most of the usual fashionable boots and shoes, which neither favor comfort, nor health, nor the ease of walking, are to be discarded." - Grow a beard: "The beard is a great sanitary protection to the throat - for purposes of health it should always be worn, just as much as the hair of the head should be." - Banish depression: "If the victim of the horrors could but pluck up energy enough to strip off all his clothes and gives his whole body a stinging rubdown with a flesh-brush till the skin becomes all red and aglow, he would be thoroughly cured of his depression, by this alone." Filled with Whitmanic aphorisms and beautifully illustrated with contemporary artwork, Manly Health and Training provides essential insight into one of the worlds most beloved poets and his philosophy on manhood, bodily perfectibility, and the future of the American body politic.

The Dubrow Diet
By Dubrow, Heather
When you've tried practically every diet and have struggled for years to reach and maintain a healthy weight, what do you do next? If you're Heather and Terry Dubrow, MD, you create your own diet based on cutting-edge and Nobel-prize winning science that promises not just unprecedented metabolic control, but also an internal cellular rejuvenation with powerful antiaging effects. Then, after creating a diet that can transform your life from the inside out, you want to help as many people as possible look and feel their best, so you write a book about it! In The Dubrow Diet, Orange County's favorite reality TV couple share the diet and exercise plan they created to end their own decades-long yo-yo dieting and flip on what they call the "ageless switch." The central concept is called interval eating, a practice based on research showing that when you eat is perhaps the most important factor in weight loss and weight control. With interval eating, the Dubrows will introduce you to a simple eating schedule that can help you: reprogram your cells to go after stored fat for fuel. lower insulin and normalize blood sugar. fight off chronic inflammation linked to almost every major disease. activate a process known as autophagy, your cells' self-cleaning process and an antiaging game changer. increase your energy. finally reach your goal weight. rejuvenate your skin and overall appearance. So, what are you waiting for? You have more power than you realize over the hormones that regulate your weight and the molecular factors that determine how you age. It's time to take advantage of this power with a diet that is not only doable but also sustainable and even fun! The Dubrows wouldn't have it any other way.
