Is is a good idea to take in sugar during your exercise training session to improve athletic performance? How does it pertain to power, and endurance? These are the big questions of the day! Should you, or shouldn’t you ingest sugar during your aerobic, or anaerobic fitness training session?

There has been a recent study completed in Copenhagen, Denmark that showed sugar consumption during exercise increased endurance, and power.  The study was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, June 2009.  There were two groups of men studied. Group 1 was given a solution of 6% sugar to consume during an extended endurance training session. Group 2 was given an artificially sweetened drink to consume during their leg of the endurance exercise.

The sugar supplemented exercise leg had 14% more power, and a 30% greater time to exhaustion. Therefore, if you want to improve athletic performance, it is important to consume sugar throughout your training session. This is especially true for endurance training workouts. Therefore, taking in carbohydrates throughout your endurance training session will increase power, and endurance.

Now the whole key towards increasing  aerobic performance is your bodies ability to preserve stored sugar in cells. Ingesting sugar during your training session will do this. Also, taking a caffeine supplement  30 - 60 minutes prior to exercise will  cause a preservation of stored blood sugar in cells.

After a bit of a layoff, we are back in full effect with a gigantic fitness tip! I missed sharing fitness information with you!

You are probably asking where did I go, and why?

Well, I had a good thing, and a bad thing happen. First off, I had to dedicate more time to the completion of my personal trainers’ project I had been working on for the past 6 months. I am proud to say it is kicking butt, and helping a lot of trainers generate personal trainer residual income.

If you are a personal trainer, or want to become a fitness pro, this is a MUST SEE personal trainer business product.

And now for the bad - during the product creation process, my computers motherboard decided to “kick the bucket!” One Saturday night at around 11:00 pm I tried to turn the computer on, and NOTHING! Talk about breaking out in a cold sweat. 

It was a scramble to diagnose the problem, get a new computer, and transfer everything from XP to Vista. To make a long story short, it wasn’t easy, and took almost 10 days to complete.

Stop Wasting Your Valuable Workout Time!

There was lots of drama in the gym today. MTV was shooting a comedians reality show. See what you have to endure if you live in Southern California. There was even a great big bulletin posted on the gym entrance stating anyone entering the gym could possibly be on television. Therefore, train at your own risk. Too much drama for me!

 Lately, I have noticed one troubling issue in the gym. People are completely unfocused, and only getting a small percentage of the results they could be getting, in half the time. They walk around wondering what is coming next. They don’t seem to have a purpose. Their intensity is far below the level to achieve sizable results.

It is sad because they are not getting maximum results for the time they are investing in the gym. Why? There are a lot of reasons, some of which I touch upon in the audio below.

After witnessing this trend, I felt I needed to address this in my next audio. After all, I don’t want a Wellness Word subscriber walking around lost in the gym. I want you to have focus, desire, and purpose.

It seems everyday I check the national news HGH, or Human Growth Hormone is mentioned. Right now we are in the middle of crackdown on HGH usage in Major League Baseball. Aging Hollywood celebrities are coming out and admitting growth hormone usage in an attempt to preserve their youth. It sure seems to be a hot topic these days!

What exactly is HGH? Does it work? What are the risks? These are important questions that need to be answered immediately because athletes, bodybuilders, and indiviudals trying to preserve youth are injecting themself daily.

Human Growth Hormone stimulates the growth, and cell production in the body. An understandable example is when boys transition through puberty. They have a very high HGH level at this time. It is responsible for increasing muscle mass, decreasing bodyfat, and speeding up recuperation time between workouts.

Even the anti-aging clinics are jumping on the bandwagon promising a restoration of energy, vigor, strength, and even an increase in sex drive.

All sounds good, right?

Not so quick. There may be a huge price to pay! …Continue Reading Increase Human Growth Hormone Naturally And Free

How to lose weight naturally requires an understanding of energy balance. Energy balance is when you consume the same amount of calories your body burns off for energy. Forget the weight loss pills, and potions, and focus on the simple concept of negative energy balance. Another words, your body burns off more calories than are consumed. With that said, you will lose weight naturally.

When your energy balance is negative enough to burn off 3500 calories, you will lose one pound of bodyfat.

You body burns energy in 3 ways.

1. Basic metabolic functions of your organs and system (60%)
2. Physical activity (30%)
3. Thermogenic effect of foods eaten (10%)

Now how to lose weight naturally involves understanding your energy balance numbers. That is, how many calories are needed to maintain your body weight.

A real quick estimate of this number can be found the following way:

Men - Body Weight X 10 + Double Your Body Weight
Female - Body Weight X 10 + Your Body Weight

With that number determine your activity level. If you exercise to lose weight for more than 1 hour each day add 400 to that number if you are a man. For women, add 300.

The sum of this number will be an approximation of your energy balance. This is the amount of calories you should take in to maintain your weight. Now to lose, you must decrease your calories, or increase your activity in order to enter the negative energy balance. To gain weight, increase your calories to the appropriate level. This will bring about positive energy balance.

So the next time you wonder how to lose weight naturally, you can begin paying attention to your energy balance in order to maintain, lose, or gain weight.

To discover how you too can lose weight quickly while working out in only half the time visit Wellness Word.

A diet research report was released this week as a result of studying 31 weight loss studies. Researchers concluded two thirds of dieters gain all their weight back, and even more, five years after going on a weight loss diet. Thus, after a fat loss regimen, participants gain back more weight than they lost.

The study concluded most people fall into the yo yo dieting plan category. This, in turn, can be bad for your health showing an increase in heart disease and stroke. Accoring to studies, it would be better not dieting at all, than going up and down, up and down.

Weight loss enthusiasts really need to think lifestyle. Your eating habits need to change from today through the rest of your life.  That is what works. Think healthy eating for a lifetime. Exercise was shown to be the best “pill” for maintaining weight loss.

Do you realize you can easily increase your muscle strength to a level it has never seen before, no matter how old you are? Image, at 60, being stronger, leaner, and more muscular than you were at 21. Do you know your body is losing between 3-5 pounds of metabolically active muscle each decade? A big thanks goes out to the aging process for this. Your decrease in muscle tissue means weaker muscles, and a higher bodyfat percentage. This all sounds depressing, doesn’t it? However, don’t worry, there has been an amazing scientific strength building breakthrough I would like to share with you.

It is now possible for you to increase strength, and decrease body fat, all while working out for less than 45 minutes each week. Yes, I said each week! Sounds too good to be true? That is what I thought also before I discovered this new lifetime strength, scientific breakthrough. After looking closely at the studies shown in this lifetime strength routine, and experimenting myself with the theories presented, I, too, am a believer in this new strength training regimen.

What I am referring to is Pete Sisco’s new book titled Lifetime Strength. He hits the nail on the head when it comes to increasing strength, building muscle, and maintaining independence for the rest of your life. Pete’s strength training program is extremely easy to understand, and everything he says is back by sound testing.

If you are interested in building muscle strength in your body while spending the least amount of time in the gym, his program is a must! Otherwise, you will simply be wasting your valuable time while achieving much less strength. Strength is something we can preserve. It doesn’t have to leave us. You will kick yourself when you see how simple this strength training workout really is and how you can increase strength with each very brief exercise session.

If you want to discover the newest, most effective strength training routine available today, then I strongly recommend you see how you too can increase strength for a lifetime.
