A Superslow� Workout

Get the benefits of strength training sooner by taking your time. SOME THINGS ARE BEST DONE SLOWLY, AND WEIGHT Lifting IS ONE OF THEM, SAY SOME FITNESS EXPERTS. Traditional weightlifting involves brief, intense workouts focusing on repetitions, or number of times you perform a single exercise. In that type of workout, weights go up, down, up, down, with about two seconds' time in each direction. With a method called slow weights or slow-cadence lifting, the lifting and lowering motions are drawn out to about - 10 seconds each. Because the muscle is taxed over a longer period with each repetition, fewer repetitions and shorter workout time are required. Only one or two short sessions per week are the norm. Several studies show greater muscle strength and endurance increases with the slow approach than with the traditional approach. Pushing a muscle to work hard, like when you lift weights, activates muscle fibers, which respond by growing stronger as well as bigger, if pushed hard enough over time. Gaining more strength in time and with fewer repetitions appeals to everyone, but the slow method of weightlifting offers something more to people with arthritis: more control of motion the entire movement, causing less pressure on the joints and preventing pain, "People with stiff or impaired joints who need extra protection when they exercise are the ones who benefit the most," says David Fischer, MD, a rheumatologist in Palo Alto, California. He has recommended dozens of patients do this type of resistance training.
