Those of you that know me, know that I am a man of science and WILL NOT attach my name and reputation to just anything. They have gone through the extra effort of becoming GMP certified. GMP means Good Manufacturing Practices. Nutritional supplements are not FDA regulated. In the absence of that, a GMP certification with third party auditors ensures inspections of dietary supplement manufacturing facilities to determine whether specified performance standards on a number of measures—including quality control, cleanliness, receiving and testing of raw materials—are being met.

All of the ingredients are something I feel comfortable ingesting, myself. In fact, they don’t use artificial sweetners (aspartame) which make other supplements like workout shakes taste crappy. They use Stevia which is a non-caloric sweetner which also has a nutritional content and contains fiber. And there aren’t any strange herbs or anything. It’s very good stuff. Just good old fashioned nutrients.
Like I said, I won’t attach my name to just anything and after nearly 3 years of research, this is it!

S.P.A.R.T.A.’s Pro Grade Nutritional Supplement Line

Today is the first day of the launch. We’ve started with the basics like men’s and women’s line of multivitamins, whey protein powder, and pre and post workout drink.
BE SURE TO STAY TUNED because in the following days, I’ll be releasing a new product each day.

Tuesday - Meal Replacement with 35 grams protein and 8 grams of fiber.

Wednesday - Nutritional bars “Cravers” only 180 cals. No trans fats and comes in peanut butter, almond butter, and spirulina. Healthy dark chocolate to satisfy that chocolate craving.

Thursday – Essential Fatty Acids. Reduce your risk of early death from cardiovascular disease by 50%. It’s krill oil which is just as effective and won’t give you “fish burps”. I’m a huge supporter of essential fatty acids for everything from brain health to it’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Friday – The week will be culminating in the release of the weight loss product, METABOLISM. This link will come with one of the best articles on metabolic effects of certain nutrients I’ve ever read. This is a great natural product at the right dosage so as not to cause the side effects of other weight loss products.

This is big. If you’d like a reasonably priced supplement line that you can feel safe taking and expect good results, I’ve found it for you through my own research. I’m very skeptical and I haven’t seen anything that would make me not want to be a part of this or not want to attach my name and reputation to it.

So here’s that link again. Come in and check out what we’ve got available. Thank you.

S.P.A.R.T.A.’s Prograde Nutritional Supplement Product Line

I’ve got a great book for you to check out. It’s written by my friend, Dave Durell, of High Intensity Nation from Orlando, Fla. Most of the people I see are looking for general fitness and fat loss, specifically. Our clientele is almost always a slight majority of women. But, this one is something special mostly for the guys. Not that women should be afraid of muscle, on the contrary, that should be your focus if you want to raise metabolism and improve shape. But, men, if you’d like to pack on some lean weight, raise your metabolism, and start to develop that upper body shape you’ve been looking for, this book will tell you the way to do it. Better yet, it tells you how to do it in a safe and very effective method using high intensity training principles specifically for BUILDING MUSCLE!

Click Here!

Dave knows what he is talking about too. He’s spent quite a bit of time with the industry’s leaders in bodybuilding and strength and conditioning.

Pro bodybuilding results in little time!

Click Here!

Dave has personally spent time with and been trained by the man above, the late Mike Mentzer. Former pro bodybuilder in the early 80’s. Mike knew the secrets to getting lean and muscular without overtraining. When most bodybuilders were working out 6 hours a day and twice a day sometimes, Mike was working out twice a WEEK! He was maximally stimulating his muscles for growth and then allowing them to grow with the proper amount of rest.

Dave has also spent 10 years in all helping to build pro athletes to tip top shape as a strength and conditioning coach for pro football teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and even at South East Missouri University. He knows what it takes to get lean and muscular and it’s in this book.

You’ll also get a couple other bonuses like I did. You get the simple nutrition guide to go with it as well as 2 downloadable MP3 files for the High Intensity Muscle Building Audio Program where he literally walks you through to your success. You’ll also get access to his High Intensity Training Video Vault. The first video is the secret to bigger biceps. Now, I know my anatomy being a Master Trainer, but Dave showed me something in this video that even I didn’t think of. It’s a simple technique, but extremely effective if you want to maximize your bicep’s muscular development. What guy doesn’t want to do that? I wish I had seen that video 10 years ago. I’ve never seen anybody else recommend this technique. There’s also an excellent technique if you’re having trouble making progress with dumbbells. Sometimes a 5 pound jump is too much, well what do you do? Dave shows you a simple technique that can make an intermediate step in this process without interrupting your muscle building progress.

Again, I can’t say enough about this book and all the extras, information, and tools that come with it. I fully endorse his methods and would jump at the chance to grab this book. And just like us, he has a GUARANTEE. If you’re not happy with it, there’s a 100% money back guarantee.

Click Here! to get your copy of this must have book if you’d like to start building that lean muscular frame or if you’re a trainer looking for a great technique to get your clients exceptional results.

1. You over do it. – Many people join the gym and try to do too much too soon. They don’t moderate frequency and volume. Rest is not even considered. They think more is better. I have news for you. The more is better rule doesn’t apply to anything on the planet. At some point, anything can become too much or negative. Rest is equally important as the work, itself. Moderating the variables is crucial to maximizing your success or causing you to fail. If you are unsure of how to do so, consult a professional trainer who can prescribe an appropriate plan for you. Research has shown that overtraining quickly like this can lead to lower red blood cell count, mood disturbances, and other negative things. Be on the lookout for these signs of overtraining:

* Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy
* Mild leg soreness, general aches and pains
* Pain in muscles and joints
* Sudden drop in performance
* Insomnia
* Headaches
* Decreased immunity (increased number of colds, and sore throats)
* Decrease in training capacity / intensity
* Moodiness and irritability
* Depression
* Loss of enthusiasm for the sport
* Decreased appetite
* Increased incidence of injuries.
* A compulsive need to exercise

2. You have an idea, but no action. – Many people have ideas in their head of what they’d like to look like or achieve, but few of them actually put pen to paper to write them down and even fewer have a real plan of action and accountability to carry them out. It’s important to have the ideas, dreams, and desires, but an actionable plan to go with it to make it reality.

3. You don’t keep track. – If you don’t keep track of your workouts and improvements, how will you know if you’re making progress? Things are really happening, but sometimes they are so subtle in the beginning, they may not be that visual. The first thing you should do is to keep track of your body measurements. Also, keep track of your training routines to measure weight, rep, and set increases and always make sure that you are constantly reevaluating your fitness plan every 4-6 weeks. Whether it’s fat loss, building muscle tissue, or just feeling better; keeping a log helps and motivates you to get there. When you see where you were, and where you are, you realize you’re making progress! Our Fitness & Nutrition Tracking program is easy to use and will help you reach your fitness goals!

4. You’re unrealistic. – Be Real about your Success – It would be great if you could train for a week and see magical results, but that’s not how getting in shape and improving your health works. Just like getting out of shape does not happen in one day, you will not see results immediately when you start any type of fitness training program. Be realistic, be prepared and set short, medium and long term goals. When you make your fitness goals realistic and attainable you will ensure a greater success for sticking with your fitness program for life.

5. You don’t have a sustainable plan. – Many people have it in their head that they have to be in the gym X days a week or run a marathon in order to get in the shape that they want. These are rather arbitrary ideas and when implemented can lead to not being able to stick with it. Not everyone is meant to run a marathon and training too frequently leads to many other negative things outlined above. Ultimately, your body will FORCE you to stop exercising and you likely won’t go back. If it doesn’t feel like something you can schedule, be consistent at, and enjoy the results, it won’t last!

Of course the worst thing you could do is nothing. It’s important to take action, but the correct action as well. If you’ve experienced these symptoms above as a result of trying to implement your own fitness program, take a couple of days off, re-evaluate things especially as far as how much rest you are getting, and continue to fine tune until you do have a sustainable plan. If you need help, our trainers will be glad to get you off on the right foot. I challenge you to stay focused and don’t give up on your resolutions, but don’t over do it either.

In 1975 Nautilus Sports/Medical Industries funded one of the most important studies in the history of exercise science. Project Total Conditioning was conducted at the United States Military Academy at West Point and was overseen by Colonel James Anderson. The purpose of the study was to pin down how to use Nautilus exercise equipment properly and identify the physiological consequences of a short-duration, high-intensity-training program. It asked such questions as, How much skeletal-muscle strength can be achieved from brief, intense workouts? How does strength training affect cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and overall body composition? Improvements in muscular size and strength, improvements on 60 separate tests of cardiovascular fitness, and improvements on 4 tests of flexibility. All from 1 basic simple strength training program.

The results? Read them here.

When you exercise, your body pulls glycogen from the muscles. Glycogen is your body’s storage form of glucose or sugar, which is the primary fuel for exercise depending on the type and the intensity level. If you workout at a higher intensity or are involved in anaerobic exercise (short, powerful bursts of energy such as strength training or certain sports), then your body primarily uses glycogen for energy. If you are involved in low or moderate intensity exercise, your body will use fat along with glycogen for energy. Once you are done exercising, you must replete the glycogen. If you don’t, you won’t have enough energy to do your next workout or the one after that. Or maybe you will but your performance will be less than ideal and you won’t last as long as you might usually do. So bottom line, you must replete that glycogen!

You have a window of opportunity to replete glycogen and ideally it’s within 30 minutes. Within that 30 minutes when you finish exercising, you should have a snack that is comprised of carbohydrate and protein. Ideally you don’t want carbohydrate that is full of fiber because fiber slows digestion. You actually want the carbs to be digested rather quickly so they get to your muscles. Protein is important to include as it helps your body digest the carbs and it allows your muscles to absorb the glucose for storage.

A client of mine came to me with 2 goals. She told me that she wanted to win races (she’s a triathlete) and she wanted to lose some weight. One catch though….she wanted to keep her Starbucks skim caramel macchiato in her diet. When it comes to weight loss, that might be something that would need to be cut out more frequently than she would have liked. However because she already exercises regularly, I encouraged her that the ideal time to include the Starbucks coffee would be right after her workouts. It includes carbohydrate from the syrup and protein from the milk. Of course there are other snacks that are of better quality nutrition however keeping this coffee in her diet is extremely important to her. So we made it work to her benefit. If you like to eat foods that contain a lot of simple sugar, the best time to do that would be after a workout. You still need to control the portion size however make consumption of these foods work to your advantage. For example, if you like to eat chocolate, have 1 or 2 small pieces along with some milk as your post workout snack.

A few other suggestions for snacks include: a glass of chocolate milk, cottage cheese and fruit, a cup of yogurt, a toasted bagel with slices of cheese on top, a sandwich with turkey and cheese, or a piece of fruit and a glass of milk. Of course these are just a few suggestions. Think about what you like to eat and be sure to get a combination of carbohydrate and protein after your workouts to reward your muscles for their hard work. You’ll notice the difference in your strength and muscle tone for eating a proper snack after exercising.

Chris here again. Thanks Stephanie for contributing this piece! I’m especially in favor of the glass of chocolate milk after a workout. Next to crab legs, that’s my second favorite thing on the planet as far as food goes. Stephanie is the dietician I have chosen to work with (after years of looking) for S.P.A.R.T.A.’s nutrition program. Her website is SMull Nutrition. Current S.P.A.R.T.A. clients ask your trainer about how to set up your initial meeting with Stephanie to get on a guaranteed results nutrition regimen!

This quote from the article from Arthur Jones, founder of Nautilus, delivers the message simply:

“If I were to grab you by the throat, and choke off your air supply, it would immediately become apparent to you that oxygen is absolutely essential for life. If I were to lock you in a room with no water, after several hours, the degree of thirst you would experience would indicate to you that water is a requirement for life. If I were to lock you in that room with water, but no food, it would take a little longer, a matter of a couple of days, before you would be ravenously hungry, and there would be no question in your mind that food was absolutely essential for life. However, it often takes years before ones body begins to show the harm done by a lack of proper exercise.”
