I love magic. So you can imagine my excitement when I learned the guys at Marvel were making the movie “Doctor Strange”.
For those that don’t know, Doctor Strange is the latest comic book creation to leap from Marvel’s pages to the silver screen. Brit actor (and TV Sherlock) Benedict Cumberbatch has been entrusted with the role, and by all accounts, performs a stellar job playing the sorcerer and former neurosurgeon.
I’m going to see the movie this week. UK reviews have been excellent, and I can’t wait to take my cinema seat for what promises to be a mind-bending, fantasy experience.
Sounds cool. But what does any of this have to do with weight training?
Well, it just so happens the book I’m currently reading deals with some groundbreaking science that is nothing short of magical, too.
That’s right. Real-life magic where research shows how you can reverse the damage done by years of hurting your DNA. The result? You get to look and feel younger using the secret power of your genetic code.
Author Sharon Moalem’s “DNA Restart” is cutting-edge stuff. Indeed, some of the studies are so startling that you might be forgiven for thinking they were witchcraft!
But here’s where things get exciting… The bestseller MD dispels the myth that says, you must spend many hours exercising to receive maximal anti-ageing benefits. In fact, the good doctor reveals how you only require minutes to get your genes transforming to a younger version of itself.
Got that? Here it is again:
You can start making your genes work more optimally and more youthful in minutes.
Check out what the author has to say:
“Food and exercise are the most powerful tools in your medicine cabinet. This ultimately means that you have the power in your hands right now to completely change your life, genetically speaking.”
The exercise part of this DNA equation is of special significance. Enlisting the help of abbreviated weight training, Moalem shows how short sessions of resistance training not only reverses ageing but battles life-threatening disease.
Sounds like magic? You bet. Yet what’s really spellbinding, is how this is great news for anyone seeking to enjoy the benefits of abbreviated training.
Like we’ve been saying all along, it doesn’t take hours in the gym to look young and feel fantastic.
Until next time,
Squat for Glory!
