S.Ma.R.T.-EX Training Program
Our patented S.Ma.R.T.-EX system delivers maximum results through slow resistance training. This 15-minute workout performed twice weekly builds lean muscle while burning fat. Scientific studies validate its effectiveness in improving body composition through precise muscle failure techniques that stimulate metabolic adaptation. The program's efficiency makes it ideal for busy individuals seeking measurable fitness improvements.
Fitness DVDs
Our educational DVD series provides expert instruction in Dr. Ben's methods. Featuring comprehensive demonstrations of metabolic makeover techniques, myth-busting nutrition guidance, and detailed exercise physiology explanations. Each video offers structured learning paths with durations ranging from 38 to 66 minutes, allowing self-paced mastery of the S.Ma.R.T.-EX system at home.
Metabolic Makeover
This comprehensive program combines resistance training with metabolic optimization. Designed to increase lean tissue while reducing body fat, it features personalized nutrition guidance and scientifically validated exercise protocols. The program's effectiveness is supported by institutional research showing significant body composition improvements within 3-5 weeks of bi-weekly training sessions.
Resistance Training
Our resistance training methodology focuses on slow, controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement. Each session lasts 15-20 minutes with workouts structured to reach temporary muscle failure, triggering adaptive responses. This approach builds strength efficiently while improving metabolic rate through increased lean muscle mass, supported by decades of clinical research.
Weight Loss Programs
Our medically supervised weight loss solutions integrate exercise physiology with nutritional science. The program prevents muscle loss during fat reduction by combining resistance training with metabolic rate measurement. Using gold-standard body composition analysis tools, we create personalized plans that maintain muscle mass while targeting fat reduction through our patented training system.
