MAF Strength Training includes MAF Slow Weights: You may know Dr. Philip Maffetone from his heart rate-based training called either the Maffetone Method or just MAF. His theory, in short, is to go slow to get fast. He just came out with a new book called Get Strong: The Natural, No-Sweat, Whole-Body Approach to Stronger Muscles and Bones, which aims at keeping as much gas in your tank as possible while still transforming your sedentary body with very little pain or suffering.

I am working towards sixty-minutes of slow rowing every day for the rest of my life: I am finally doing it. After I burnt out my knees by going from zero to forty-five minutes of spin class in a day and then every day, I allowed myself to recover and now I am slowly building myself back up to committing sixty-minutes every evening to Maffetone rowing on my Concept2 indoor rower.

Some great books for slow jogging, slow running, and heart rate aerobic training: While it all started with my discovery of Slow Jogging by Hiroaki Tanaka, it's expanded to Slow Running by Chris Bore and The Maffetone Method by Dr. Philip Maffetone. And, of course, there is also the incredibly-useful book, Row Daily, Breathe Deeper, Live Better, by Dustin Ordway, which also suggests consistent, persistent, daily exercise with a twist: there's no such thing as too slow as long as you do it every day.

Maffetone is the perfect addition to Slow Jogging: Neither Slow Jogging nor The Maffetone Method care very much about winning races or about making world records, they both care more about health than fitness, more about a the long run of a lifetime of activeness over the short burst of achievement.
