Fitness Supplements

The health conscious population of today looks for means of working to achieve a perfect body that is fit and healthy. This is possible by following a daily routine of exercise and diet, and some fitness supplements. It is not a must to take a fitness supplement; however with its help, it is possible to become lean and strong with the boost and turbo charge it provides you in your fitness program. With a fitness supplement, you can get off to a fast start in your body building routine. Different ingredients go in the making of a fitness supplement to give you the turbo boost, and body you look for. One of the most commonly used ingredients is conjugated linoleic acid which is very effective in removing fat from the body.With CLA in the fitness supplement, you are assured of losing fat even if you don’t change anything else in the program. Chromium is another ingredient used in fitness supplements that is advised to be taken only if you have a deficiency of chromium in the body. Instead, take something with glutamine in it as this is very helpful in the recovery and growth of muscles.

With glutamine, you can find your recovery time from squats reduce to half the time. Moreover, you will not only feel better after heavy workouts, you can find improved results from your exercise program. Then there are the meal replacement powders that are the best choice for a sustained nutrition program. With a MRP, you find you have the foundation for the rest of the program. Protein powders are fitness supplements that are easily available in the market today. It is important that an athlete takes about a gram of protein per pound of body weight while the average person needs less than half the amount. So if you are serious about being an athlete, protein is an important part of your diet. You also find protein bars that provide benefits similar to that of protein powders. However you have to choose the right bar from the wide number of protein bars available today as most of them are junk.

Creatine is found in fitness supplements to help in the faster contraction of muscles during recovery. With this, you get bigger and stronger muscles. This is why Creatine should be taken by the serious, hard training athlete. However, if you don’t have a hard training program, then this will be a waste of money to you. There are many companies offering fitness supplements with different ingredients, which produce different effects to the body. It is up to you to choose the right fitness supplement for you, depending on your needs and budgets. Remember that fat burners and thermogenics don’t do any magic; they only help in getting rid of your fat. Use fitness supplements while following a strict diet and exercise routine to get excellent results. It is always better to consult with your physical trainer and doctor about taking fitness supplements to avoid any side effects that may arise from the fitness supplement.

Professional Whey: Australia’s Supplement Specialists

http://professionalwhey.com Professional Whey was launched to provide a fresh approach to buying high quality supplements that genuinely work at the most affordable prices. Professional Whey was born out of our founders 15 years of professional coaching, training, nutrition and supplementation experience.

Our supplements are 100% pure single compounds. We do not mix two compounds together or add flavouring or sweeteners to our supplements. To keep supplement quality high and costs low, we minimise the processing on all of our supplements. We do not sell or promote the use of supplements with artificial flavouring or artificial sweeteners due to the toxic damage it causes to the body. Instead we only provide flavours and sweeteners that have actually been 100% proven to be healthy and beneficial to the body.

Powders, Not Capsules
We only sell high quality pharmaceutical grade powders as 99% of capsules or tablets contain up to 5% of stearates which go under the guise of “magnesium stearate”, “stearic acid” and “calcium stearate”. They are made from hydrogenated cottonseed or palm oil and are used throughout the supplement industry as a lubricant; in that they are added to supplements so that machinery will run at maximum speeds. Therefore we avoid anything to do with “stearates” as there is nothing about them that is healthy, as they are a lubricant!

Empowering You/Personal Tastes
Many of our supplements you can mix together because we want to empower YOU – the customer to mix and match your own supplements and add your own flavouring to suit your own tastes and achieve your own goals. There is nothing worse than having 50% of people love a chocolate flavoured protein powder, whilst the other 50% think it tastes too sweet and sickly. Now you can choose the strength of your own flavouring.

Unlike many other supplement brands, we do not raise the price of the product in order to pay for athletic endorsements or advertising because we know what you need – simple, affordable, quality products without the fuss. We rely on word on word of mouth advertising to keep our costs low. So spread the word!

Our vision & our philosophy is that we value every single customer and your feedback all of the time. Our aim is to offer the highest quality supplements at the lowest prices possible along with outstanding customer service. Therefore instead of offering specials on supplements at intervals through the year, our prices are on special all year round. We will beat anybody on price…Guaranteed

Personal Trainer in Singapore Shows You the Possible Dangers of Diets

My job as a sports performance and fitness professional means that it’s my duty to help athletes achieve peak performance and also help regular clients achieve their goals in fitness such as fat loss and weight loss.

It is pretty obvious that what you eat is critical to your health and your performance.

In fact there was a study done on a group of people who were put on an excellent exercise program which consisted of 3 days per week of strength training, and 2 days a week of cardiovascular training. This went on for 12 weeks. That is a long time, and that is a lot of exercise (certainly much more than most people do!).

The results: A total amount of fat loss of… 0.5-1kg!!

Pathetic!

It is common for people who do everything correctly, that they lose 8-10kg of fat in 12 weeks. And even more if they started out very overweight.

The reason that the university study shows such disappointing results?… These people were told that they could eat whatever they pleased.

Conclusion: Nutrition is critical to achieve your fitness goals.

However there is another side to the story.

There are diets out there that promise incredible amounts of weight loss/fat loss.

I myself have tried all kinds of diets including very low calorie liquid diets. It was a liquid only diet but the liquids were high quality protein powders. It also includes healthy fats like fish oils and flax seeds, as well as some supplements to prevent muscle loss.

These diets WORK. You will lose fat, you will look lean, and you will defeat psychological cravings for bad food (this is probably the best effect)

BUT….

Don’t forget, these are DIETS. They are not NUTRITION. There are some “side effects” that make diets short term projects, rather than life long plans.

Here are some of the problems…

Metabolic slowdown – Diets that have very low calories cannot be done for long periods of time because the body responds with shock and thinks that it is in a state of starvation.

Stress hormones will go up – low calories is a condition that is stressful to your body!

Fat storage will go up – to stay alive

Non essential systems will slow down (reproductive, immune system, digestive system etc)

Digestive system will weaken (no need to work hard if we are eating all liquids/too little food)<

Muscle Loss – this is bad! Makes you look and feel weak

The body is designed to have whole, natural foods as it’s nutrition. Different people do best on different ratios of fat, carbohydrates, and protein. But the food items should be the same. Meat and eggs from animals, vegetables and fruits as well as zero calorie drinks like teas and water should be the foundation of your nutrition no matter who you are.

So unless you have a specific weight class, competition or special event to “diet” for, forget about diets the majority of the time and focus on good nutrition.
