Don’t most experts agree that physical conditioning involves three key components: muscular strength, cardiovascular efficiency and flexibility?
A. Yes, and advocates of SuperSlow® emphasize the importance of these factors in determining physical conditioning as well. The key here is that a single approach — the SuperSlow program- most directly accomplishes these goals. Hutchins summarizes it this way: “Maximum muscular strength is encouraged by working maximum muscle fibers in high-intensity, low-force SuperSlow Exercise. Working maximum muscle fibers demands the application of resistance throughout a full range of motion. Full range of motion involves adequate stretching to promote and maintain functional flexibility. Working maximum muscle tissue makes greater demand on the transport system to promote increased cardiovascular efficiency. Therefore, all three components of physical conditioning are most directly addressed through the same program: SuperSlow.
