BenchFit Solution:Choose Strength:Activate Growth Hormone!

• We don’t need to look far to see the association of athletes with “banned substances”

such as steroids and growth-hormone supplements. Get Real! Activate YOUR OWN
NATURAL GROWTH HORMONE, with exercises.
Vitality springs from a positive mental attitude and vision, and daily habits that
create character. Emotional strength. Vision.Focus. Physical strength.
Do the following three to five days a week, for an enhanced sense of well being and physical
power:

Walk, bike, get on the elliptical or treadmill, or swim: a minimum of 15 minutes,or
optimally 30-45 minutes.
Lift weights that tire you out in 10 repetitions: Emphasize biceps curls, rows,
side-lying inner and outer leg lifts, squats, and heel raises. That is 6 exercises.
For your abdominal workout, I recommend small range of motion “curl ups” with an exhale
and pulling the navel in towards the spine as you curl up.The “Plank” yoga pose is also great for
abdominal toning.

GROWTH HORMONE is activated when we lift weights.The more intense the exercise intensity,
the more growth hormone is activated. GROWTH HORMONE release stimulates muscle growth, and the
breakdown of stored fat for energy .For safety and success, gradually dial up a weight lifting work-out
over a period of several weeks to be able to accurately stabilize and move the weight. Exercise counteracts the
tendency to weight gain and age-related strength decline.
A Free-Weight Workout, such as BenchFit, requires coordination and control-and you really can get results in
workout two times a week, but aim to workout 4-5x a week with weights.
