Okay, so sometimes I’m asked what kind of protein powder is better. Is it Whey protein, is it Egg? Maybe it’s Soy protein. No, wait, it has to be Casein protein. My opinion is they are all good! They should all be used and consumed. They have, however, different strengths. I like Whey right before and right after my workout. I like Casein at nighttime and maybe even for breakfast. That is because casein protein is more slowly absorbed. It provides a steady stream of amino acids while you sleep. Whey is quick. So, its floods the muscles with amino acids fast. That’s why I prefer it before and after my workout.

There are lots of great protein powders on the market. One of my favorites is AST Sport VP2 Whey Protein Isolate

Decisions, decisions. I decided to post my thoughts on buying a life fitness exercise bike. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I’m in very good shape. But, I don’t have any fitness equipment at home. Sometimes, I’d just like to do a cardio workout from home. As I have gotten older, I have noticed that just hitting the weights no longer does it for me. I had become one of those guys with big arms, but also had a big gut.  It wasn’t until I forced myself to do more cardio that my belly finally disappeared. So, now I  do cardio more so than weights. Some days I’ll go to the gym and do only cardio. It is on those days that I say to myself. You know, I could just do this at home if I had an exercise bike. So, I decided to buy one. But, I’m trying to decide between a recumbent life fitness exercise bike, or, an upright…decisions decisions.

Having an injury like a tennisarm is painfull enough, but when you can’t get it cured the blues starts. Walking from therapist to therapist with no result is a nightmaire. So if you suffer from a tennisarm go and visit Kees Tempel in Eindhoven. He will help you within three threatments and your tennisarm will dissapear. Good luck with it.

When you are doing anything at all with body building or fitniss, you HAVE TO understand what the right type of nutrition and supplements will do for your body.Also, you have to know how your body works and how it repairs it self for the most effective muscle growth. Hey… it’s a tough world out there. But if you don’t learn how to eat properly and take proper care about your body, you’ll never notice any changes. That’s why we highly recommend to buy HGH for lightning fast muscle growth.

HGH Is The Miracle Cure For Quick Muscle Growth?

Bodybuilders who want to see results must eat right and choose the right supplements. But sometimes a hectic schedule and family obligations make it hard to do so. For this reason, a lot of bodybuilders buy body building sports supplements like HGH. When you buy HGH or other body building sports supplements it will feed your body with the correct types of calories, in the right amount, at the right times in order to repair that muscle and in order to build it up.

Whatever you need, there’s a body building sports supplement for you. No matter if you are a pro body builder, pumping up for the next competition, or just a guy who wants to look good in swimming pants. Whatever your needs, body building sports supplements can get you there. And when you buy HGH, your efforts will be tripled, if not, quadrupled.

To grow your muscles, you need to feed them. They need protein, they need carbohydrates and, believe it or not, they need fat. However, they need these things in different amounts at different times. And if you don’t know what food to eat, to take it easy and how to do it right… go out and get some body building sports supplements and a good manual on weight loss and take the guessing out of looking great and building hard earned muscle mass, one repaired fiber at a time. And when you buy HGH, the changes will be VERY noticeable in extremely short amount of time.

Sick And Tired Of Slow Muscle Building Approaches? Then Buy HGH By Clicking Right Here To Explode Your Muscles At Phenomenal Rates, In The Shortest Amount Of Time!

Pipes. Guns. Bazookas.

Take your pick. Grab your weapon of choice.

This common weight room jargon refers to the muscle that separates your elbows from your shoulders, those bulging beauties known as your biceps.

Although biceps are considered a small muscle group, smaller than say the chest, legs, or back, their importance within a hard-core bodybuilder’s physique is undeniable. The double-bi pose is among a bodybuilder’s favorite.

Of course, before you go carving them into oblivion, it is most imperative to amass the mass on your arms. You cannot shape what you don’t have.

Here are a couple of biceps-blasting exercises designed to load up those guns for the big showdown:

ALTERNATING DUMBBELL CURLS: You can do these either standing upright or sitting on a bench. Take a pair of dumbbells of considerable weight and hold them at your sides so that your palms are facing your legs and your thumbs are facing outward. Slowly curl one arm toward your torso, turning your arm in so that your palm is facing upward. Squeeze your biceps during the contraction. As you slowly lower the weight toward the floor, your other arm should begin curling the weight toward your torso, repeating the motion. Do 3 sets of 10 reps on each arm.

STRAIGHT-BAR CURLS: Take a straight barbell and load it up with considerable weight, holding it in your hands with your palms facing upward. Have your hands at shoulder width as you lock your elbows into your sides. Slowly curl the bar toward your torso, squeezing the biceps during the range of motion. Hold at the contraction for a beat, then slowly lower the weight toward the starting position, as you concentrate solely on the negative movement. Visualize your biceps tearing up with each repetition. Repeat the process, cranking out 3 sets of 10 reps.

Of course, your gains will be minimal without the use of effective form. Do not swing your back or move your elbows during the range of motion.

It’s a fact, America is becoming obese at an alarming rate and the rest of the world is following close behind. We are eating more (and more of the wrong stuff) and exercising less or getting no exercise at all. Our health is in steep decline and doctor and hospital visits are at all time highs. Just a brisk 30-minute walk a day can begin to turn that around.

You name it, we have it, and it’s getting worse. Heart and cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke, out of control blood sugar levels, diabetes, obesity, and more. The U.S. Surgeon General recommends getting at least 20-30 minutes of moderate activity each day and many of us are falling far short of even that.

Studies show the average person takes about 3000 to 5000 steps a day, and some even much less. Let’s face it, we just do not get the exercise our ancestors did a hundred or so years ago and we tend to eat more refined foods. For some of us, most of steps we take are from the easy chair in front of the TV to the fridge so we can fill up on snacks. For others, like me, we sit at a computer all day as part of our jobs.

Many fitness experts recommend we walk 10,000 steps a day to maintain our weight and overall good health. 10,000 steps are approximately 5 miles, give or take depending on the length of your stride. You will need to purchase and wear a pedometer to count how many steps you take each day. Follow the directions that usually come with the pedometer. Do this for a week or two and you will get a good average step count. Your goal is to reach 10,000 or more steps each day. There is nothing magical about 10,000, but it will put you in the right ballpark.

As a general rule, a person will burn about 100 calories walking a mile, depending on age, size, and fitness level. The heavier you are, the more calories you will burn.

Become creative on ways to increase your steps. At work, go for walks at lunchtime. Go for walks with your spouse or children. Walk the dog. Walk to the store instead of driving, or park at the far end of the parking lot. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. For me, I take brisk 2-mile walks around the neighborhood twice a day everyday (aerobic walking). Just do whatever works best for you, but do it! You will need good walking shoes and socks to prevent injury when walking for exercise (like aerobic walking).

Go to your favorite search engine and type in “10,000 steps” to learn more about this life saving, life changing program. The information is abundant.

An article from Cornell shows that a massage after vigorous exercise can help reduce muscle soreness. Several other studies show that deep massage helps to make muscle injuries heal faster, improves training in athletes and relieves painful pressure points in muscles and tendons.

Athletes use muscle soreness to guide them in their training programs. Most athletes train by taking a hard workout that damages muscles enough to make them feel sore on the next day. Then the athlete takes easier workouts until the soreness goes away. When the soreness is gone, the athlete takes a harder workout again. A 30-minute massage after a hard workout lessens next-day muscle soreness and allows athletes to recover faster so they can perform more work and compete at a higher level.

Most coaches and trainers recommend massage therapy to their athletes, but many physicians are still skeptical about its health benefits. Researchers at Ball State University showed that vigorous deep massage done 21 to 29 days after severe tendon injury hastened healing. Many people suffer from pain in their muscles and tendons, and a study from Denmark showed that deep massage therapy and regular exercise help to relieve these trigger point pains, while ultrasound does not.

Nobody knows how a massage helps muscles recover faster. The massage does not make muscles stronger, but the athlete who can take more frequent workouts can build stronger muscles.

Why then do some physicians still not recommend massage therapy for their patients? One study from the University of Calgary shows that physicians, who may speak against massage, know least about how it is done and when to recommend it.
