Author and scientific analyst Forrest Blanding first showed the importance of cardiofitness to health in his 1982 book, The Pulse Point Plan (Random House).

The author and scientific analyst Forrest Blanding was born in a suburb of Chicago. He received a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois and a post graduate degree from Princeton University. He was a career employee of the Exxon (now Exxon Mobil) Corporation for 35 years as researcher, manager and executive. Retired, he now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
For many years he headed an Exxon research section responsible for analysis of research done by different company research groups throughout the world. He was a specialist in the unraveling complex multifactorial problems from multiple research studies and was a most highly regarded analyst.
During the 1970's he become interested in the importance of exercise to long range health as a personal project because of his poor family health history. Most researchers then were dismissing exercise as unimportant. From what was a most extensive-then five year study of exercise research he found that cardiovascular fitness from exercise was a major factor involved in risk of heart disease. His book "The Pulse Point Plan' published by Random House in 1982 provided what was a first scientific verification of the importance of what is now termed cardiorespiratory or cardiofitness.
During past two decades Forrest has been developing the Life Ahead Program that is today's most advanced scientific computer model of how life-style habits and factors produce the major diseases that terminate life. The Life Ahead Model, a free download, values how all types of exercise and diet are involved in causing the major terminators of life. The program is available at and verified by nearly 100 scientific papers published on the internet at www.lifeahead.net.
