Harley Pasternak, M.Sc., holds an MS in exercise physiology and nutritional sciences from the University of Toronto, and an honors degree in kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario. He is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine and the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology. His work has been profiled in such national publications as Redbook, Glamour, Fitness and Men's Health, and he has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and other TV programs. Pasternak, a native of Canada, lives and works in Los Angeles.
Halle Berry and Orlando Bloom are among trainer Pasternak's Hollywood clientele. He favors the short, intense workout, claiming that longer sessions can tax the immune system, and he varies the number of reps and sets to keep exercisers from getting bored. His five phases of exercise begin with a cardio warmup followed by two phases of strength training and a phase concentrating on the core muscles. The final section is a cardio workout that descends into the cool-down. A five-week plan runs about 25 minutes a day. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
