Every day at my studio clients bombard me with intelligent and challenging questions. Here are a few of the most frequently asked. I try to formulate all of my answers using science and clinical evidence rather than opinion. Each of the answers below is based on both valid scientific research and on my 15 years of clinical experience.

Unfortunately, the field of exercise science lags behind clinical discoveries – and very often the scientific research itself is poorly performed. This can sometimes be worse than providing information that is of no value to the lay public, but at times it can lead to disseminating misleading and dangerous information (remember high impact aerobics and those silly machines that shook your belly to get rid of fat?).

If you follow the Slow Burn program, you'll find everything below to be true. It's impossible to list all the questions I receive but if you have a question that is not addressed below, email us and one of our instructors will answer.

Additionally, I address these and related topics on my weblog.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.):

• Can you really get fit with so little exercise?
• How can I get aerobic benefits from Slow Burn strength training? Don't people need both?
• Can I lose body fat by Slow Burn alone or do I need to diet?
• Will Slow Burn exercise make me overly "muscle bound" and tight?
• Can I do Slow Burn if I'm pregnant?
• Can I do Slow Burn if I have heart disease or had a recent heart attack?
• If I do Slow Burn more often will I get even better results?
• Is this a good program for athletes who want to develop speed?
• Is Slow Burn safe for people with high blood pressure?
• Is stretching really unnecessary? Everyone says that stretching before and after exercise is important for safety.
