The 20 Minutes to Fitness “Slow Cadence” training works on strengthening your total muscle core, resulting in a number of proven medically based benefits:

Burns Calories
By increasing the body’s metabolic rate that allows you not only to burn calories while you are exercising, but more importantly, trains your body to burn calories all the time.

Controls Arthritis
By inducing the manufacture of synovial fluid and helping distribute it over the cartilage and forcing it to circulate throughout the joint spaces.

Fights Osteoporosis
Regular medically based fitness workouts can actually help prevent osteoporosis. Exercise can help reduce bone loss and increase bone density. By increasing bone density through the stimulation of certain cells (osteoclasts and osteoblasts), thereby lowering the risk of bone fractures in both men and women, and especially in menopausal and post-menopausal women.

Improves Emotional Well Being
By increasing the flow of oxygen and the release of positive mood altering chemicals in the brain that aid in the avoidance of anxiety and depression.

Controls Weight
By increasing lean muscle, burning calories and suppressing appetite.

Generally Prevents the Occurrence of Injuries
By strengthening the muscles and joints.

Lowers Risk of Lung Disease
By strengthening the muscles that facilitate breathing and increasing the oxygen level in the blood.

Controls Blood Pressure
By lowering the resting heart rate and reducing the level of certain stress-related chemicals in the blood stream that restrict the flow of blood, thereby increasing blood flow and the functioning of the blood vessels, increasing the release of endorphins, and raising the level of HDL (the “good” cholesterol).

Aids in the Prevention of Angina
By dilating the vessels and increasing blood flow, thereby improving the body’s ability to extract oxygen from the blood.

Lowers the Risk of Heart Disease
By reducing body fat, decreasing LDL (the “bad” cholesterol), raising HDL, increasing lung capacity, and decreasing blood pressure, thereby lowering heart rate.

Fights Diabetes

By reducing excess blood sugar, increasing blood circulation, and reducing stress.

Reduces Risk of Glaucoma

By relieving the pressure on the eyeballs (intraocular hypertension).

Controls Allergies
By increasing restricted nasal blood flow.

Helps Prevent Bursitis and Tendonitis
By strengthening the tendons.

Reduces Back Pain
By strengthening the abdominal, hamstring and lower back extensor muscles.


Helps Avoid Knee Injury
By strengthening the muscles, tendons and ligaments that support the knee, thereby helping the knee to withstand stress.


Lessens Fatigue
By increasing circulation and blood oxygenation, reducing stress, and improving posture.

Reduces Headaches
By forcing the brain to secrete the body’s pain-reducing chemicals such as endorphins.

Improves Memory Function
By increasing the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain.

Helps Prevent Insomnia
By reducing muscular tension and stress.

Aids in the Prevention of Injuries Typically Associated with Aging
By building stronger and more resilient muscles, which increases flexibility, balance, and prevents falling.

Facilitates the Healing Process
By strengthening the muscles around the injured area.

Improves Overall Performance
In all areas of work, physical fitness and athletic activities.

Improves Self-image
By replacing fat with lean muscles, thereby reshaping and toning the body.
