In the race between conditioning and aging, conditioning can win if it is diversified and fun, as it is with Dr. Burdenko’s techniques. I am now 73 years of age and have been seeing him for 27 years!

Lester Thurow, 
World-Renowned Economist, Professor, Former Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management

Lester Thurow, a world-renowned economist (Former Dean of MIT's Sloane School of Business) and a proficient mountain climber, came to Igor at the beginning of 1980's. He wanted to maintain his health, vitality, focus, and ability to climb the highest peaks for years to come. Igor and Lester started working together towards preparing Lester for very demanding expeditions. Through the years, Lester learned more and more of the Burdenko Method. He practiced it systematically. The Burdenko Method helped him combine an intensive lecturing and traveling schedule with the demanding and challenging activity of conquering mountains.
