The PACE Program
This is from Dr. Sears:
When I started developing PACE® 20 years ago, everyone was rushing off to aerobics class. Little did they know that aerobics actually works against your heart – and keeps you fat around the middle!
It still shocks people today. But decades of research back me up. And it’s not just my research either… Researchers around the world have turned up similar evidence.
At Laval University in Canada, sports medicine specialists discovered that athletes using the techniques featured in my PACE® program burned 9 times more fat than those using the typical long-duration aerobic methods.
A Colorado State University team measured how long fat continues to burn after repeatedly using just one of the techniques of my PACE® program. Remarkably, they found that fat continued to burn at a higher rate 16 hours later. Even when they were idle, they continued to burn fat at a 62% higher rate.
This is your native fat burner at work. It’s been there all along… We’ve just been using the wrong techniques.
Aerobics and other long-duration exercises like jogging and marathons create changes in your body that weaken your heart and lungs. They tell you body to make and store more fat. This way, your body makes sure it has something to burn during your next aerobics class. And to cope with long-duration stresses, your body will actually shrink your heart and lungs.
PACE® gives your body the right kind of challenge. And it only takes 10 minutes! Not hours of grueling – not to mention boring – jogging and jumping around that most fitness “experts” tell you is the way to go.
By giving yourself the right challenge, with the right level of intensity, you get an adaptive response that tells your body that you don’t need fat. And instead of shrinking your heart and lungs, your body will start to build vital reserve capacity – the kind that prevents heart attack and heart failure.
And the evidence doesn’t stop there.
PACE® Knocks Out Cardio in Clinical Showdown
Two of my most successful coaching students turned out to be a perfect illustration of how well PACE® works – because they are twin sisters.
When they arrived for their initial assessment, both twins – age 18 – had almost identical body composition measurements. (Body composition measures the amount of body fat and lean body mass, or muscle.)
By the end of the 16-week study, the twin doing PACE® was sprinting for 6 sets. Each set had a 50-yard interval followed by a rest period of 30 seconds. The twin doing traditional cardio was jogging 10 miles with no breaks.
The results? The PACE® twin went from 24.5% body fat all the way down to 10% for a total fat loss of 18 pounds. What’s more, she gained 9 pounds of pure muscle.
The cardio twin also started at 24.5% body fat but went down to only 19.5% body fat for a total fat loss of 8 pounds. And instead of gaining valuable muscle, the cardio twin actually lost muscle.
Overall, the PACE® twin lost 125% more fat than the cardio twin, and gained 9 pounds of muscle, where the cardio twin lost muscle.
Of course, after this experiment the cardio twin got jealous of her sister’s remarkable fat loss. So I put her onto the same program. Within weeks, she reversed her losses and soon slimmed down to match here sister’s progress.
There’s nothing unusual about this kind of achievement. I’ve reproduced it again and again. The twins did so well because I told them exactly what to do at each step in their program. All they had to do was follow along.
