Invest in You





DID YOU KNOW? Caffeine not only provides an energy boost, but also improves mental intensity and focus during training. Many athletes need twice as much protein than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for healthy adults. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result in fatigue and increased susceptibility to injury. Omega 3 fish oils play an essential role in maintaining the health of your heart, veins, joints, skin, brain and nervous system. Weight training does not always make women bulky. In fact more lean muscle helps burn more calories. It takes approximately 20 minutes for aerobic exercise to begin burning fat. Intense exercise often leads to muscle soreness 24 to 72 hours AFTER you exercise. Proper stretching, hydration and nutrition can help minimize delayed onset muscle soreness. Every extra half kilo of weight you gain puts 4X the stress on your knees. Antioxidants can neutralize the harmful free radicals and oxidative stress which result from increased physical activity.
