RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a non-provisional application claiming benefit under 35 U.S.C. sec. 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/729,326, filed Oct. 21, 2005 (titled RESISTANCE EXERCISE METHOD AND SYSTEM by Vincent J. Bocchicchio), which is incorporated in full by reference herein. BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Field [0003] This invention relates in general to exercise systems and methods. More specifically, the present invention relates to a resistance exercise method and system using slow movements by an exerciser. [0004] 2. General Background [0005] The conventional wisdom and literature supports the mechanism of resistance (exercise) training incorporated to produce increases in muscle strength and size. Concurrently, the abundance of literature reinforces the cardiovascular (aerobic, endurance) responses to longer duration, lower intensity exercise. [0006] In point of fact, the preponderance of established science indicates that the two aforementioned pathways (anaerobic/strength related and aerobic/endurance related) are in fact, inhibitory to and practically exclusive of the other. In the practical application of these established theories, separate exercise regimens are utilized in order to elicit the two predominantly corresponding responses. The term "circuit training" has been used to describe exercise regimens that attempt to combine elements of the two pathways to elicit the corresponding responses simultaneously. Some attempts to incorporate both of these exercise elements have been less effective than either type performed independently. In this linear approach, it is often unclear what "working model" drives the choice of exercises, duration of each and order in which they are performed. [0007] Accordingly, it would be desirable to have an improved exercise method and system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0008] For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure, reference is now made to the following FIGURE: [0009] FIG. 1 illustrates an inclined exercise bench system used in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. [0010] The exemplification set out herein illustrates particular embodiments, and such exemplification is not intended to be construed as limiting in any manner. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0011] The following description describes specific embodiments sufficiently to enable those skilled in the art to practice it. Other embodiments may incorporate structural, process and other changes. Examples merely typify possible variations. Individual components and functions are optional unless explicitly required, and the sequence of operations may vary. Portions and features of some embodiments may be included in or substituted for those of others. The scope of the invention encompasses the full ambit of the claims and all available equivalents. [0012] An improved resistance exercise method and system is described herein. The exercise method and system is generally a slow resistance training system. The method is designed to attempt to produce multi-dimensional physiological responses in an exerciser. It is desired that the exercise method instigate a myriad of positive physiological responses from a single exercise intervention. The conventional wisdom and literature refutes the concept that this scenario is even substantially plausible. [0013] Generally, the method involves exercise by performing exercise sets in a sequence progressing from exertion of larger to smaller muscles, with the exercise movement performed using slow movements. A sequence of hips, legs, back, chest, shoulders and arms is a specific example of working larger to smaller muscles/groups. [0014] Each exercise set is performed substantially to a point of momentary failure. The slow movement is, for example, at a rate of less than about thirty degrees per second. The exercise sets are typically performed with as little rest between each exercise set as global or central fatigue will allow. Resistance is applied during each exercise set to produce muscle failure within a predefined time under tension parameter. [0015] One example of an exercise protocol according to the above method is outlined as follows: Exercise Protocol [0016] 1. Resistance exercise performed in a sequence of larger to smaller muscles. [0017] 2. Each exercise performed for one set. [0018] 3. Each set continued to a point of momentary failure. [0019] 4. Resistance applied on each exercise to produce failure within a given "time under tension" parameter. [0020] 5. All movement performed in a slow manner (e.g., slower than 30 degrees per second). [0021] 6. Exercises performed with as little rest between exercises as central fatigue will allow. [0022] 7. Two exercise sessions are performed per week. [0023] 8. Recovery time is prescribed between 48 and 96 hours. [0024] It should be noted that many other variations may be implemented according to the slow resistance exercise method described herein. The Mechanism of Action [0025] This exercise system benefits from (without intending to limit the scope of the exercise method) sustained, multi-strata muscle fiber or motor unit recruitment eliciting multiple pathway (aerobic and anaerobic) responses substantially simultaneously. The neurological and central responses to sustained muscle recruitment trigger mechanisms conventionally associated with long duration exercise. In addition, at the site of the exercising muscle or muscle group a variety of metabolite and signal molecule concentrations stimulate a typically predictable cascading of chemical events externally associated with positive lean tissue exercise responses. In addition (without intending to limit the scope of the exercise method), the fluid shear resulting from continuous tension dynamic exercise instigates an NO pathway and its associated physiological benefits.
