Fitness Expert Launches Weight-loss, Strength-building Program

Master Exercise Physiologist Dr. Vincent “Ben” Bocchicchio Designs Scientifically Proven Program that Forever Alters a Person’s Metabolism

Phoenix, Ariz. - Introducing an unprecedented fitness program to the nation yet again, internationally renowned Exercise Physiologist Dr. Vincent “Ben” Bocchicchio has invented a scientifically proven program, called the Metabolic Makeover, that corrects the root problem of weight gain – a slow metabolism.

Dr. Bocchicchio has been a pioneer in the fitness industry since inventing the mainstream resistance training technique known as slow training in 1974. With two doctorate degrees, one in muscle physiology and the other in health, Dr. Bocchicchio went on to train thousands of professional athletes, celebrities and their trainers; to serve as a highly sought-after fitness consultant for professional sports, including the U.S. Olympic Committee; and own numerous health and fitness facilities throughout the nation. Dr. Bocchicchio currently is a principal of Qi (Chi) Bio Systems, a private wellness organization based in Phoenix.

As the first organization in the U.S. to use ECP System technology exclusively for fitness purposes, Qi Bio Systems’ Metabolic Makeover combines technology with a time-proven resistance training regimen. In a one-hour session, a person begins the Metabolic Makeover session with seven circuit training exercises, all using Dr. Bocchicchio’s slow resistance training technique. Afterward, a person is placed in the ECP System – cutting-edge technology that has been successfully used for cardiac patients to stimulate circulation – and several blood pressure-like cuffs are secured around the person’s waist and legs. For up to 30 minutes, the ECP System pulsates at the rate of the person’s heartbeat, creating a rhythmic non-invasive massage that stimulates blood flow. As a result, this portion of the Metabolic Makeover, also known as the Vascular Massage, jumpstarts the metabolism and aids workout recovery that is more effective than an intense cardio workout.

“My gimmick is that there is no gimmick. This is a scientifically proven program that takes basic principles of body chemistry and applies it to fitness in a way to increase a person’s resting metabolism rate, increase muscle mass and decrease body fat,” Dr. Bocchicchio said.

In a 100-person published IRB study measuring the effectiveness of the Metabolic Makeover to cardio exercise, the group that used the Metabolic Makeover twice a week proved three times more effective than the group that performed cardio exercise for a total of 3 ½ hours. The Metabolic Makeover group had significantly improved body composition, cardio respiratory endurance, upper body and lower body strength, and decreased resting blood pressure and heart rate. Other benefits of the program include boosts in athletic ability, reduction of lactic acid buildup and anti-aging elements.

Designed to enhance overall physical well-being, the Metabolic Makeover can be safely used by any adult at any fitness level, ranging from a professional athlete to someone who has not worked out a day in his or her life. Measurable results through appearance can be seen in five to 10 Metabolic Makeover sessions twice a week. Each one-hour session is offered exclusively at Qi Bio Systems at Camelback Road and 24^th Street in Phoenix, Ariz. within the Doctor’s Fitness Center. Dr. Bocchicchio also provides diet recommendations to complement the Metabolic Makeover for optimum results. For more information, visit http://www.qibio.com/ or call 602-224-5724.
