Smart training, optimal nutrition and adequate rest are ‘the pillars’ to an attractive and healthy body that can perform at its best. Without combining these 3 factors there’s no way we can live up to our potential. Strength training and cardiovascular activity will bring about changes to the body when adequate rest is taken between sessions, but to see outstanding results our nutrition needs to be spot on. Our post workout meal is of particular importance in ensuring out bodies can complete a challenging session and quickly recover for the next….

The Post Workout Meal:

Post workout our first concern should be getting some simple carbohydrates back into the body to replenish depleted glycogen stores. ‘Liquid meals’ or shakes are favoured over solid foods due to their fast absorption. This should be followed up with a solid meal 60-90 minutes later. The ideal option here would be Dextrose, an inexpensive fast digesting sugar that will quickly get into the bloodstream and create an insulin spike allowing for greater absorption of nutrients. The size of the post workout meal will vary depending on the weight of the athlete. A good gauge is to take.25-.40g’s per pound bodyweight (around.50-.80g per kilogram).

Next we want to get a fast digesting protein source. Whey protein is the best option here being that it easily absorbed and is rich in BCAA’s (branch chain amino acids). Again the amount taken will depend on the athletes weight, 0.15-0.25g’s being widely recommended per pound bodyweight (approx 0.3-0.5g for kilogram).

Supplementation post workout is an option that can further help speed up recovery. I would highly recommend 2.5g’s of creatine and 2.5g’s of glutamine be added to the post workout shake to help restore ATP and potentially increase growth hormone levels.

If you haven’t yet bought Dextrose and whey or you’ve forgotten to bring your shaker cup to the gym and need an alternative Chocolate milk is a great option! A study in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition showed it to be an effective post workout meal, providing better recovery rates than a carbohydrate only drink. There is also the added benefit of a rich calcium content which plays a key role in ‘power stroke’ the process by which muscular contractions take place.

And there you have it! A simple and effective post workout plan that will help your body repair and adapt to the stress you’ve placed upon it in the gym! Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments,

With the advent of the Nintendo Wii Fitness line of games, many couch potato gamers are finally becoming active without even realizing it.

But can someone who is seriously looking for a power packed, high cardio, and aerobics type workout really benefit from the Wii fit?

Well to be honest the first set of games the Nintendo Wii Fitness came out with will only give the serious workout freak a worm up routine, and that’s about it. For beginners its fine, for those who are just starting a exercise regiment its great, but for the advance fitness buff, it will be disappointing.

So the Nintendo Wii Fitness developer came up with the perfect solution and the answer to the advance fitness user. In recent months Wii Fit has evolved into a set of games offering the user a more intense cardio and strength training workout. Here is a brief over view of the top 5, starting with the least intense workout.

5) Wii Fit Bundle

The Wii Fit bundle package was the first set of games released in 2008, and as the name suggest was a group of games bundled together with the purchase of the Wii fitness gaming console. Depending on which bundle package you wanted, the system came with the controller, balance board and several games. The games ranged form Yoga, Pilates, Tennis, boxing, Balance games, skiing or ice boarding and other low impact, more gaming than workout activities.

These games are great for fun but would not do for a real calorie burn workout. SO I would give this 1 out of 5 for workout and 4 out of 5 for fun. A Total of 5 out of 10

4) Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009

Most people by now should know who Jillian Michaels is, you may not know her name but if you ever watched the Biggest Loser reality TV series, she is the drill sergeant /personal trainer/motivational coach and the star of the show (personal opinion).

Based on the intensity of the character on the Biggest Loser, this game was disappointing and somewhat boring, the only reason I but it higher than the Wii fit is because the workout is more intense and you could really burn some calories with this game.

This game utilizes the balance board, the controller and Nunchuck for a good workout it has 4 Workout types, strength training, cardio, weight loss, stretches. The game allows you to track your progress and save your stats.

I did notice that the controller response time was annoyingly delayed and some of the instructions were not very clear so it was difficult at times getting my on screen character to move or replicate my movements. I think there are a few bugs in the software coding for this game that were not worked out before release.

Some of the games did kinda look like the Wii Fit games repackaged, also the only motivation the game gave you would be Jillian saying “Give It All You Got” which after a while became more annoying that motivating.

I did like the back ground workout music which was motivating and you could select from a wide variety of music styles. The squat exercise workout was great and will make you sweat.

This game will defiantly burn some calories, but I think you will become bored with this game sooner than later.

I give the Wii Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 game 3 out of 5 for workout and 2 out of 5 for fun. A total of 5 out of 10

3) Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout

Ok, this is the first of the Wii Fitness games to focus more on Cardio workout that mimics the workout you will get in a gym, hence the name.

With this game you will get a real workout. The game utilizes the Wii’s motion controls, the Balance board.

The highlight of this game is the TaeBo like boxing workout routine. This game seems to get the principle of running in place more accurately than the previous game. The sit-ups and jumping rope will give you a great workout. The Cardi Gold’s Gym Workout game keeps great record of your calorie burn and fitness progress, and will automatically increase the difficulty and intensity of your workout to suit.

So overall this is more responsive and offer non stop action for a great workout, the points system is great for motivation so I will give the Wii Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout game 3

Everyone has heard the hype about the P90x system! You have too otherwise you probably wouldn’t be reading this article. There are many P90x reviews out there for your reading, but this is the most honest review out there.

The P90X is an extremely exclusive and a hot item on the market because it doesn’t require any expensive home gym equipment in order to operate it. All you need is a set of dumbbells, a chin up bar, and a few push up stands. It is really inexpensive to start and definitely worth every penny you will spend on this P90x reviews system.

What exactly will you get?

When you buy the P90x reviews system you will get 3 (THREE) training manuals, a 3 phase nutrition program, a fitness guide, and a video overview called “How to Bring It”. The best part of the program is that you will also get 12 videos. These videos will consist of strength training, cardio, yoga, polymerics, abs, and yoga. On top of that, you will get free support tools that will easily help your workout.

These tools are the following:

1. Free online support tools- These tools will greatly help you into developing your body where you want it to be.

2. P90X calendar-This is a great calendar that will help you stay organized and help you reach all your goals.

The P90X is a program that is geared towards an extreme workout. The goal of this program is to get you lean and ripped in 90 days. Many people are easily achieving this goal thanks to the P90X. You have to really focus on the exercises and videos though. You can’t be a slacker when following this program.

Does the P90X really work?

I can now self-confidently say that P90x is a great workout program and it truly works. I have believed all the hype and followed a lot of home workouts in the past, and although they worked for a while, never seemed to work out in the end. The problem was my body was quickly adapting to the exercise programs I was following. The P90x is different from any other home workout that I have done because it does not let your body adapt to a “normal routine” exercise which allows you to see results easily. The P90x DVDs also target specific parts of my body and allowed me to work on the ones that I really wanted to improve. This program is extremely inexpensive and I recommend it to anyone that is serious about changing their lives for the better. Once you get started using the P90x system you will never want to quit because you will start seeing results within a week to motivate you to keep going! Once you see these results you are never going to want to stop. The exercises are also so simple to follow that you will pick up on it right away! I wish you the best of luck in buying the P90X system. It is definitely worth every penny spent!

The growing interest in fitness and health makes it a great time to take the step and become a personal fitness trainer.

There are gyms and workout centers for men and women (and both together) springing up everywhere. A couple of years ago I was the only personal trainer in this rural area, but now there are several within a few miles and yet my small business has not felt any pinch and is still growing.

The reasons are many, but chief among them is the recognition that a fit lifestyle is much healthier and less prone to illness and disability than the sedentary, over-weight, sit-on-your-butt-all-day lifestyle that seems to be everywhere.

That and the fact that baby boomers are into or nearing retirement age and beginning to feel their mortality. Fit people simply live longer and happier lives.

If you are one of those, at any age, who works out regularly anyway, and enjoys helping people and can’t understand why everyone isn’t exercising, why not have a long think about becoming a fitness professional?

If you are reading this, perhaps you have already thought about a career change and simply want to be sure to do it the right way.

To that end I have put together a few pointers about getting your fitness trainer education and becoming a personal trainer and I have also published a list of Fitness Trainer Schools in the US, and online., on my website for reference purposes.

The decision to become a personal trainer must involve a decision to obtain the necessary education and certification and is an imperative step in being recognized as a competent practitioner in this discipline.

Reputable fitness trainer schools will help you become a personal trainer by providing the following training in their courses. Make sure that any school you are considering will deliver the following:

You’ll learn the critical areas of Fitness Assessment, Program Design, Upper- and Lower-body Strength Training and Flexibility Training.

You’ll learn how to effectively administer a health history screening, which simply means you will learn to assess a clients current physical condition through testing so you have all the information necessary to develop a safe and effective exercise program and more.

You will learn to become a fitness trainer for one-on-one or small group training. It’s worth bearing in mind that small group training in the form of ‘Boot Camps” can be highly effective at recruiting new, ongoing clients as well as producing a great income source. This is important whether you work at a club or on your own.

You will learn to empower, motivate, challenge and retain your clients.

The schools curriculum should be continually evaluated and updated to ensure that it includes the most current exercise science information to keep the graduates ahead of the competition.

You will have demonstrated your knowledge of exercise science, nutrition, fitness assessment, exercise programming, and training and instruction techniques.

You will be required to do real-life situational evaluations. Given a (hypothetical) clients problems, goals and limitations you will assess and design an appropriate program for exercise and be tested on your performance.

Generally, you must meet the following eligibility requirements to become a personal trainer.

* You must be at least 18 years of age.

* You must hold current adult CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification at the time of the exam. Candidates registering for online courses must have current CPR prior to registration.

It certainly helps if you understand fitness science and don’t just memorize it. This is a case where you can really help people if you have a good understanding, or you could do harm if you don’t. After all, being a fitness trainer is not just about memorizing program design, but understanding the fundamentals of exercise science so that fitness can be prescribed to many unique individuals.

Look for a program that includes alot of hands-on teaching. This will help you know you are doing things right and will increase your confidence.

The right personal trainer course will help with your belief in yourself, and will give you confidence in your ability, and trust in your knowledge.

Deciding on a career, or changing careers can be a little scary, but will be less-so if you do a little ground work first.
