Marc Bloom Lormer editor of the runner Agazine writes on health illness and sports nge your form you must adjust your distance running technique. I i vex lean Forward with upper body use More energetic Arm drive Lin Knees higher push off and land on front of feel rather than on heels pumping weights on the run new York times Hile he and his wife were scrolling one hoi summer evening a Lew years ago Leonard seb Warez. The Pittsburgh psychiatrist who invented heavy hands spied a runner with the hand weights. But instead of pumping the weights up and Down As he ran. The Young Man was merely carrying them. I ran alter him Tor four blocks in Manhattan Yelling in the 90-degree heat Schwartz recalled. I walked with him three or our blocks trying to explain about pumping them. And when he won Oil he was doing in  this Story comes pouring Oul in his Strear roof consciousness Way and it neatly illustrates the intensity of the obsession that has come to drive Schwartz s Lile combined exercise. The concept is simple. Use As Many muscle groups As possible during a workout to achieve maximum oxygen consumption by the muscle cells the trendy Little weights cushioned with red foam rubber used to accomplish this Are incidental. Schwartz does t disagree Hal you could be grasping two ars of Mayonnaise. Or two bags of Bird shot. Of two stones. It s the weight and the movement of the arms in concert with the rest of the body that is everything. Schwartz is so certain of the purity of his vision that he believes he could alter forever the world of fitness if those who Are Blind and Deal to his idea would but open their eyes and listen. To this end he has closed his psychoanalytic practice in Pittsburgh and devotes himself full Lime to exercise physiology. Using the Fortune he has amassed from heavy Handa and sales of his two books about their use he has equipped a physiology Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh where he holds the title of adjunct professor of physical education and health. In the Laboratory he has installed Tom Auble a Lormer Engineer who became a heavy hands convert switched Over to exercise physiology and is completing work on a doctorate at the University. Auble s master s thesis completed two years ago was tilled cardio respiratory adaptations to heavy hands exercise training. Subsequent papers and research projects by Auble on exercise with hand weights have substantiated Schwartz s beliefs about combined exercise or have they there has been a Lack of recognition a downright scepticism from the exercise physiology  about the use of hand weights and combined exercise. We have had a Deuce of a Lime gelling the academic Community to pay attention to our research even after it s been properly referenced and published Schwartz wrote in a recent Teller loan interested party the typical paper on the subject would suggest a grudging 7-10 percent increase in workload when hand weights Are  Bui some of Auble s latest research using lit experimental subjects has found an astonishing increase of 500 percent in workload when the workout involved hand weights according to the Schwartz method. The key is pumping the weights. The More the arms move them and particularly the higher they Are rhythmically lifted the greater the workout. If Auble s findings Ara accurate in would mean secs Kim to runners ate adding muscle with hand weights. That Lor the same amount of Lime spent in a typical workout involving running or a similar activity vastly greater aerobic Benefit could be had from a Schwartz workout. Schwartz is committed 1o spreading the word. He has coined the term anaerobic to describe aerobic workouts in which All the body s Muscles arc systematically called upon. He created a video. Heavy hands pan aerobics  starring himself Paublo and another colleague Judy Shasek. And he has formed his own Book publishing company anaerobic press. He has formed the Leonard and Millie Schwartz foundation Millie is his Wile of 42 years to fund research into combined exercise. Our Mission 19 to seek out Brilliant Young minds in the area of exercise physiology Schwartz said. It i have the dough and they have the brains i will support their  presumably research intended to illustrate further the benefits of combined exercise will Meol the warmest reception. Schwartz is the first to admit such activity might Sounra like just another fitness mania entrepreneur cashing in while his products arc still hot. He does not reveal How much he has made from heavy hands and the books. But More than 2 million of the weights have been sold for about $20 a set and he owns the Patent. His first Book sold about 400,000 copies in hardback and paperback. One of my problems is that i am seen As Moneybags Schwartz he said people cannot believe i could be interested in More than that. I be had my Lasle at being Ilch and it does t feel any bettor than being  exercise should involve All of our musculature Schwartz continued. Taka a lot of muscle fibres and gel them working a Little bit. The total amount of work is much higher. The lexicons of exercise will be Rew Rillen someday to make that Point Schwartz began running and then using hand weights in his Early 80s because of the tear of death and a narcissistic desire to improve his body. Now 63, his body is muscular and sculpted. Iber 13. 1988 the stars and stripes Page 15
