I never thought I would be the one to give write a blog post about a fitness and health program.

To me at the moment it seems almost surreal that I purchased a program such as the PACE Express and not only have I completed at from week one to week six I am actually going through a second time and I start week five which I will start on Monday.

The follows on since my last Post PACE Express Review – I Just Finished The First Week DVD icon smile PACE Express   This Is My Take And My Results

So what would I describe what I found since starting PACE Express?

Firstly, I’ve noticed an incredible change the way that a measure my fitness. I measured my resting heart rate the other day and it was 62 beats per minute. This was down from as high as 90+ resting heart rate a few years ago and around late 70’s a couple of months back.

Appearance wise I also look in the mirror and staring back at me as someone else that I never thought I would be.

What is incredible that the PACE Express system is how simple the whole process is. What we are talking about is 12 min per day total of exercise.

The 12 min is broken into three lots of 4 min, and each one of the 4 minute exercise groups is done at a slightly more intense level than the previous 4 minute group. Of course there is a rest between each set, and this is to allow your heart rate to return to within 30 beats of the starting heart rate.

About the only thing I can say which I struggle with, and this certainly is not a criticism, is that a couple of the exercises are a triumph over coordination rather than fitness. When I do a “Scissor Jack” I look like I am having a seizure and a “Warrior Lunge with a High Knee Pull” looks like the blooper tape from the rejects of Travolta’s “Saturday Night Fever”!

So what do I like about PACE Express?

Simple really, it is basic in its extreme and it makes good common sense. There is good old fashioned calisthenics given a new lease of thinking by Dr Al Sears.

In my opinion Dr Al Sears is completely correct. He makes sense. We are not and were not designed as human beings to do long endurance type exercise; rather we were designed to do short high intensity bursts of exertion.

If I can be honest, I did not buy the PACE Express program to lose weight; I bought it to give me a solid foundation for heart health. As I may have already mentioned I have read a lot of information and education by out by Dr Al Sears, and do believe he is on the mark when it comes to a complete approach to human wellness.

Can I say though I have lost weight since starting the PACE Express program, at last weigh in it was around 17 pounds lost since I started and I have significantly toned up.

Difference in my belt

I have to cut myself a new belt hole; this is from being towards the end of the row of holes on my belt, basically my belt has come in just under 5 inches.

I look down now and can see my feet without looking in a mirror.

I walk differently – I actually walk now and I don’t waddle.

My clothes fit me. I sleep all night. I don’t wake up gasping for air. My blood sugar is normal (last time taken a couple of days ago it was 4.8 or 86 depending on how you read it). My blood pressure is normalising from being at 150/90 at the beginning of the year (took it yesterday and it was 124/78).

However, I can’t say all of this is down to PACE Express, I have changed markedly what I eat, no processed food, natural as possible, limited lean meat, 60-70% of my daily food intake is either raw or fresh fruit and vege, nuts, seeds, etc.

The most amazing thing though is that people tell me how fresh faced I look, and how clear my eyes are! In a social setting the other day I had a person tell me that they couldn’t believe is was 46, I looked mid 30’s….

I could go on and on, I think you get the picture.

Here is Amanda’s story as an example:

Also I love Elida’s video as well:

I can’t speak highly enough of this program. It is now part of my ongoing life. This simple quick and effective PACE express concept is how I will view exercise from now on.

This has been life changing for me…..

As a footnote, if you are looking to ask about PACE Express actually talk to someone who has done it, and not someone putting crappy information up that hasn’t even viewed it!

Feel free to ask me questions or leave a comment below, I will happily answer, but if you want to go to Dr Sear’s official PACE Express page to find out more please click on this link here Official PACE Express website (opens in new window)

Please note if you do click on the link and you do purchase the PACE Express Program, the folks that sell it will pay a fee to this website, but I did not get a free copy of the program, I purchased it myself icon smile PACE Express   This Is My Take And My Results

Anxiety After A Heart Attack

November 20, 2011

The area of anxiety and heart attack is a “two approach” type of subject. It’s a bit like the chicken and the egg. So with that old analogy in mind what comes first? The Heart Attack or the Anxiety? Does Anxiety cause a Heart Attack, or does a Heart Attack cause Anxiety? I’m guessing that [...]

Women and Heart Attacks – What Is Different?

November 12, 2011

I remember reading somewhere once that prior to either the 1940’s or 1950’s Women’s Heart Disease and Heart Attacks weren’t even tracked or considered much of a problem. I am not sure that it is true, but it sure is believable. Can you believe that? Thank goodness we live in enlightened times and that is [...]
