More Benefits You Can’t Live Without
We hope You Agree With Our Assessment!

1. An exercise program scientifically designed to produce maximum possible results in the minimum amount of time. In the beginning we were willing to spend any amount of time to produce maximum results…but we soon discovered that to produce these results, the exercise had to be brief in the extreme..In effect long workouts were found to be worse than worthless…they were counterproductive…and always reduced results…so if you know any misguided souls who exercise for much more than a half hour at a time and more than 2 or at most 3 times per week…do them a gigantic favor and tell them to stop wasting their time, money and bodily resources!!!
2. An exercise program that is the safest on the planet…which seems counter intuitive at first because it is so intense. But let me assure you that even the most intense final gut wrenching exertions that you perform in our workouts are far safer than the fast movements that thousands of trainees perform in exercise classes…throwing dumbells around…doing cardio pump with light to medium weights…without getting bogged down in Physics 101 please take my word that our incredibly intense slow movements with heavy weights are far safer than the aforementioned activities.
3. An exercise program that addresses cardiovascular exercise properly. Even trainees with active disease will be safer performing our slow exercise than steady state treadmill, bike, elliptical training. Blood pressure response and heart rate are much more moderate and controlled in a properly performed SuperSlow type workout…and the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations that accompany our workouts are lifesaving. Every winter snow shovelers who are avid walkers and runners suffer heart attacks while relocating the white stuff…people of all ages who practice proper strength training never have the same fate.
4. You won’t find any one qualified, competent, much less certified to teach you this exercise at ANY other New Jersey Facility except JWBF. Ask a trainer at any other gym who Ken Hutchins or Arthur Jones is. Ask them why they think you should perform multiple sets…if split routines are ok…the difference between inroading and intensity and if the isolation or compound movement is performed first when employing pre exhaustion…all you’ll get is a deer in the headlights…and that is really really sad.
Well there are 4 benefits…things we at JWBF can offer you that you won’t find anywhere else in NJ. I always say NJ and I could say most of the country except that my dear friends Roger Schwab in Bryn Mawr, Pa and Jim Flannagan In Orlando Florida and Dr. Doug McGuff in Seneca, SC and Fred Hahn in NY, NY offer almost exactly similar benefits….and there are a few others spread across the country…but they are few and far between…and in my obviously biased opinion, JWBF is still at the top of the list!!

Next Installment….Eat to Live, Paleo Nutrition, Peskin Protocol, Real Diet of Man

To all biggest loser fans…

Here is a comment by a medical doctor/exercise scientist who tuned in for the first time on February eighth, 2010. He wasn’t very happy with what he saw…mostly from a science viewpoint. Dr. McGuff(who I have met on several occasions and am proud to call him a friend) felt everything was wrong….the huge volume of inefficient exercise, the stress of being yelled at, insulted, and spat upon…and a diet designed to create ravenous cravings. He passionately feels that long term goals could be achieved and maintained with better overall health by following the principles of high intensity/low force exercise, hunter gather paleo type nutrition, and stress reduction. But, this wouldn’t entice advertisers to plunk down $$$$$$$$$$ to the biggest loser producers…but you don’t have follow unproductive, unsafe, inefficient and often counterproductive exercise recommendations.

Joel…let me know what you think.

I did my “Little 6” workout at around noon on Sunday. I am in the middle of a string of evening shifts at the ER and it has been very busy. As such, I made it a point to terminate each set immediately at the onset of failure. This turned out to be a good strategy as I feel fairly good today despite only 5 hours sleep.

Last night at work I went into our office/locker area for a mental health break and The Biggest Loser was on TV. I came in right at the introduction. I have never watched this show, as I assumed it would be ridiculous. I was shocked how much I had underestimated. I could not believe the amount and types of exercise these poor people were being put through. They even showed one contestant collapsing on a treadmill and being spit off the back of the machine by the spinning tread. Then there were multiple scenes of the contestants being screamed at by that Gillian lady in the tank-top/midriff shirt (talk about narcissistic) and some sadistic guy with tattoos all over his arms. The instructors’ contempt for the obese was obvious as they spewed insults (and saliva) in the faces of the contestants. I don’t care how fat or desperate I was, if someone did this to me I would punch them in the face and storm off the set. I checked in on the show between patients. The diet and exercise shown were prescriptive for ravenous hunger and ultimate failure. As I continued to work, I kept thinking about the importance of biologic signaling, and why it does not have to be this hard.

The key to turning around these sorts of metabolic disasters is to send the correct biologic and hormonal signals. If the correct signals are given, there is a disproportionate improvement in the metabolic state and body composition. This disproportionate response is courtesy of a second messenger system. Most hormones do not act directly on their target organ or tissue. This is usually because the hormone or chemical messenger is usually a protein that carries a charge which prevents it from being lipid soluble. Remember, cell membranes are a lipid bilayer. The fats that make up a cell membrane orient themselves so that the water soluble end of the fat faces toward the outside and the interior of the cell. The water repelling tails of these lipids face each other on the inside of the cell wall. Most hormones or chemical messengers cannot diffuse through the inner (water repelling) layer of the cell membrane. Instead, the hormone will have receptors that are fat soluble that traverse the cell membrane. These receptors bind the hormone on the exterior of the cell wall and transmit the signal to another chemical messenger inside the cell…this other chemical messenger is the second messenger. The unique thing is that the second messenger then activates a chemical cascade that multiplies the signal at the target. This way a single molecule of primary messenger can produce thousands of second messenger signals at the target.
This is why a proper signal is so important…the beneficial effect is hugely magnified. A brief, but intense workout that fatigues the musculature activates growth hormone, testosterone and adrenaline which all signal to empty glycogen and fat, both short and long-term. A hunter-gatherer diet creates a low insulin signal which triggers the body to defend a lower body fat set point. Overtraining (especially in the obese) triggers cortisol and other stress hormones. A low fat, high carbohydrate diet signals insulin release. These signals defend a high level of stored fat and drive huger…a true prescription for misery and failure. If these poor contestants could take advantage of the second messenger system they could achieve their goals without all the misery and without obnoxious fitness gurus screaming and sputtering in their face.

Insanity… Basic Training… Science
Ask any marine, navy seal or ranger what was the toughest most hated part of their training and they will respond basic training…the first 10 to 20 weeks where they went through incredible physical hardship as a group to get ready for the horrors of war. This physical training was done as a group to build a team mentality…but mostly because it was the only practical way to handle large numbers of soldiers in need of training at one time. Better physical results with less injuries would have been produced with one on one training…that is one instructer to one trainee….but it was just not practical. And yet group exercise is all the rage today in many health clubs. Women and men gather together to perform these group exercise classes that are 100% compromise…they can’t be right for everybody…in fact they are perfect for nobody. To me as a trainer in the fitness industry for the last 40 years I have seen few trends that are more troubling and not based in science. The over 40 population is particularly at risk in these classes. High Intensity Low Force principles are never followed, pulse rates probably vary from 60% to 105% of predicted maxes, egos are at the root of form discrepancies so that a lagging trainee can appear to be keeping up, and injuries or worse can occur at any time…the benefit risk ratio of doing one of these classes is just horrible…and we have already seen the casualties and “wounded” from this poorly conceived endeavor for the over 40 man or woman. People always ask me why these classes are so popular…I call it insanity…I can’t explain it…If insanity could be explained, it wouldn’t be called insanity!!

So, how should people train for strength, health, fitness, and to look their best. I learned the answer to this from 1970 to 1972…from Arthur Jones the inventor of the Nautilus machines and the Nautilus Philosophy. Arthur said exercise should be intense, brief, infrequent, and slow. Most programs today are the opposite…not intense, long, frequent, and very fast. It’s laughable what passes for exercise today. These classes and even most personal training involve throwing light weights quickly…doing it for rather lengthy periods and doing it very often.

Everybody seems to have missed the cause/effect relationship of exercise and results. Exercise is the stimulus…the stronger, fitter, better looking body is the result. The body produces the result if it can…but it can’t be forced to do so and it requires recovery time to produce the desired changes. No amount of low intensity exercise will stimulate positive change…but these highly repetetive classes performed several times per week do a number of very bad things…excessive joint wear and tear, depletion of bodily resources, and immune function impairment….there is no upside except an exercise high caused by this addiction to exercise. A trainee must question…am I intelligently committed to progress or mindlessly addicted to exercise.
Here’s my prescription for a safe, sane, scientific approach to exercise.
1)Perform 2 thirty minute strength training workouts per week…high intensity/low force circuit strength training…8 to 10 exercise performed with no rest between them carried to momentary failure
2)Perform 2 thirty minute cardio workouts per week as long as your strength is increasing and you’re not constantly tired…
That’s it…remember more is not better…perform the least amount necessary to stimulate maximum change…you will be rewarded with strength, fitness and health that you never dreamed of.

Muscle Loss…Flabby Triceps…A Quick Fix!!!!!
Many if not most women over the age of 40 experience profound muscle atrophy(loss) in quite a few body parts. No area causes these women more anguish than the rear of the upper arm…the triceps muscle. When this muscle shrinks in size from chronic disuse it leaves behind an excess of stretched out skin that “flaps in the breeze” when the arm moves and the skin is exposed. While not really a health issue, it is an area of no small cosmetic concern for fitness and appearance minded women.

The Fix!

Two of the best exercises for this area are the MedX Tricep Machine(found only at belmar Fitness in NJ) and a manually resisted negative only tricep extension performed with a rope, towel, or with resistance applied directly to the limb.

1) The MedX Compound position tricep machine….explaining the intracacies of this machine is more than I care to tackle in this one page email…suffice it to say it is the best way that a trainee can restore lost triceps size when training alone…one properly performed set on this machine will do more to strengthen and fill out the triceps than any amount of other less productive exercise.
2) The manually resisted negative only tricep extension…as the name implies this exercise requires the assistance of a personal trainer or training partner. The trainee should be seated with back support…arms should be extended straight overhead, elbows by ears with hands grasping a rope , towel or something similar. The personal trainer should grasp the other end of the towel from behind and start applying downward pressure while the trainee resists. The trainee resists as hard as possible while the trainer applies enough force to overcome the trainees resistance and cause her arms to slowly bend until they are fully bent…this should take 10 seconds. At this point the trainer allows the trainee to straighten her arms again and then the whole process begins again for a total of ten reps…ten seconds each. I promise you have never felt anything like this exercise…it will fry those triceps…it will stimulate a firming effect in the triceps that must be experienced to be believed…and again one set…100seconds of exercise will produce these results…and no amount of lesser exercise will produce anything even approaching the same degree of results.

Until next time have fun with these two new movements…but remember I warned you that you would be sore…but the flab on the back of your arm will be a distant memory.
PS…If you like Michelle Obama’s arms, she will soon be envious of your arms if you do this properly

How Will Belmar Fitness Help?

Joel Waldman’s Belmar Fitness (JWBF) combines the best exercise program on the planet with the best diet on the planet…Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat To Live program.

JWBF has been at the fore front of exercise science since 1970. As the first Nautilus and then MedX facility in NJ, JWBF stands alone to this day as “the source” for safe sensible productive scientific exercise in NJ. If it isn’t high intensity low force circuit weight training it just isn’t maximally safe, productive time efficient exercise. Every single gym, fitness center, hospital center, personal training center except JWBF engages in, recommends, and teaches these less than optimal ways to exercise that waste precious time…put the trainee at risk for injury…and fail to stimulate and produce the very results the trainee is there for…what a waste of time and money.

Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat To Live (E2L) diet is really a health and longevity program disguised as a weight loss diet. It offers the best chance any of us have to live a long healthy life free of the diseases that plague Americans who eat the SAD (standard american diet) diet…heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, auto immune, and dementia as we age. There is no escaping the biological laws of cause and effect…if you eat the foods most americans eat, you will succumb to the diseases most americans get as outlined just above.
