BODY BY SCIENCE:
A Research-Based Program for Strength Training, Body Building and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week

By Doug McGuff, M.D., and John Little

In BODY BY SCIENCE: A Research-Based Program for Strength Training, Body Building and Complete Fitness in 12 Minutes a Week (McGraw-Hill; February 2009) Doug McGuff an emergency room physician teamed up with bodybuilding powerhouse John Little to present a scientifically proven formula to maximize muscle development by exercising just 12 minutes a week.

Backed by their own research and peer review study, the two discuss how muscle is formed, its benefits to overall health and accessibly outline the body's biochemical response to exercise. In their book, the authors prescribe weekly high-intensity doses of resistance training as the clearest path toward realizing maximum strength potential, achieving fat loss, gaining muscle and accomplishing total fitness. The program is a safe efficient solution that can be used by everyone from experienced bodybuilders to beginners wanting to enhance their personal health goals.

Filled with color and black and white illustrations that include detailed anatomical drawings and a color insert that reveal how the plan works on the body's system, BODY BY SCIENCE provides accurate, honest and verifiable exercise information. By implementing its techniques, readers will:

• Lower cholesterol • Improve flexibility
• Speed up their metabolism • Build bone density
• Optimize cardiovascular health • Manage arthritis and back pain
• Increase insulin sensitivity • Shed fat

After analyzing BODY BY SCIENCE, consumers may rethink their lengthy cardiovascular routines and high frequency strength training workouts in favor of this documented once-a-week approach to obtain complete development and its associated benefits. This book is a legitimate "must have" for anyone who takes their time and fitness goals seriously.
