Fit Rx

Philip Shepherd and Andrei Yakovenko discuss their book Deep Fitness.

The popular understanding of exercise and its benefits lags about fifty years behind contemporary research. Deep Fitness brings you up to date on that research, introducing you to a recent revolution in our understanding of human health – one that can help you boost your strength and vitality, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and turn back the clock on aging.

That doesn’t mean you need to devote hours every week to exercise. Deep Fitness introduces Mindful Strength Training to Failure (MSTF), a workout that is so simple and efficient, you can steadily increase your strength with just one or two half-hour sessions a week. By doing so, you’ll be achieving a state of ‘deep fitness’.
