August is Awesome Muscle Month

OK so when you think about nutrition do you think muscle building or fat loss?

August is Awesome Muscle Month

The answer is BOTH because Nutrition is the key link to BOTH Muscle Building and Fat Loss.

Wihtout empowered nutrition, you won’t accomplish any of your goals. You won’t burn fat and you won’t build muscle.

You certainly won’t be able to build it up and cut it off and show that lean sexy body you’be been working so hard for.

Just to remind you that muscles are sexy and fun, I included this cool video at the end you just have to see… it’s awesome!

So to help you I want to remind you to cycle your training and your nutrition for the Ultimate Transformation. You will want to build muscle as much as you can, as fast as you can and as effectively as you can. You will also want to cut the fat as fast and efficiently as you possibly can.

That is why I am going to stick to a theme for you and keep reminding you that August is Awesome Muscle Month.

Need I remind you that Muscle Building is for BOTH Men and Women. Come on guys, don’t be so ego-typical and think I was writing this just for you. yeah right a whole month dedicated to guys… might was well call this Alpha Male Fitness

Ladies… STOP. Stop that little voice in your head. Stop it from saying “but I don’t want to look like a guy… I don’t want to be She-HULK”. Trust me even if you were loaded to the gills with pharmaceuticals you still won’t start to look like a guy. Perhaps like a very muscular fish consider you grew gills… sorry pharmacopia humor.

Muscle building is for both Guys and Gals and if you thought differently, then you are missing out on incredible results. Not only that you are missing out on fast tracking your results and having that dream body faster than you planned.

So train hard, train smart and enjoy this months August is Awesome Muscle Month features I got lined up for you.

Inspiration and YOUR Challenge

I have to admit, this is going to be tough to admit… but the truth is out. I don`t know if I will ever be able to do this.

Can you do or even imagine doing what this guy is doing… its crazy and you need killer skill, strength, and balance and muscle control to pull this one off.

Enough hype and awestruck babbling, just watch the video and you will know what I mean. Then read the rest of the post and find out how you can issue your own challenge and get 1 Night Hotel Stay for your challenge efforts.

================================================
Watch the Planche Push Up and Inspiration Video on the Blog
>> www.EmpoweredNutrition.com
================================================

WOW! Enough said. I am literally awestruck and amazed!

So if that doesn’t inspire you to think of something crazy, or get you to try it yourself, then I don’t know what will. No like I said, I am not really sure if I can even do some of the training push ups let alone the full Planche Push Up, but you have to know that I have tried (and failed) and will continue to challenge myself and try it again every few months. When I finally do a full planche push up I will be sure to post the video. I may even be obliged to add my failures for fun video viewing pleasure.

Now here is the cool, fun and rewarding part of this blog post and how you can have 1 Night Hotel Stay Certificate.

Get ALL the Details on the BLOG
>> www.EmpoweredNutrition.com

I want to encourage you to be creative in your training and inspire others to try something new too. I want to hear what crazy exercise or personal challenge you set for yourself either now or in the past. All you need to do is make it short and sweet and post a comment on the blog below for others to read and try.

If you DO try someone else’s crazy challenge exercise or activity, then post a reply on their comment and let them know how you appreciate the challenge and just how well you did.

For every Challenge Exercise or Activity posted I will issue each person 1 Night Hotel Stay Certificate on Sunday night by email.

If you have the chance and ability to put it on video and post a link to EmpoweredNutrition.com from or in your video and post link to your video in your comments, I will make a blog post featuring your video and you and I will give you 2 Night Hotel Stay Certificate just for going that extra step to be different and inspire and challenge others.

You will have to hurry as the CHALLENGE for YOUR CHALLENGE is over Sunday June 20, 2010 at 9pm. After that you can still post your own challenges, but I won’t be able to give away any more 1 or 2 Night Hotel Stays. Sorry.

So WHATS YOUR CHALLENGE?

315,532,800 Celebration

315,532,800

Happy Anniversary to My Amazing and Beautiful Wife Terri!

So why 315,532,800… well that is precisely the time we have been married in seconds. It could very well be the same number of pounds of fat I have helped people lose… I guess we need to start that tally now too. (I have a special gift for you too… click the link at the end of this post).

Here is a weird way to tally how long I have been married and all during the process I have struggled with weight gain, weight loss, muscle gain, muscle loss, the urge to train, bulk up, mountainbike, resume MMA training and even from time to time think longingly for the days back in the royal Canadian Military. But I wouldn’t trade what I have today with Terri and our 3 amazing kids for any of that silly boy stuff…

Well sort of…
I am back to training, but don’t plan on competing in any body building events.
I am flipping tires and doign strong man things, but won’t compete again.
I do like to toss the football and skate but won’t go semi pro again.. not that I would even make the first round of cuts.
I am mountain biking once again and it feels great… entering into a race series starting next Tuesday.

So I am getting some old habits (only the good and healthy ones), but for the greater good of my personal well being and that of my family. When I train I am a better person. I feel better, look better and think better. I have a better eating habit and supplement more regularly with my multi vitamins and proteins… which by the way enhances your mental outlook and your internals and hormone profiles as well as functions.

I encourage you today to consider doing at least 20 minutes of intense activity 3-5 even 7 days a week. I walk 20-30 minutes after I take the kids to the school bus in the morning and train or mountain bike 5 days a week. Its only been a few weeks and I feel great.

So here’s a bunch of dumb numbers to say its 10 years later and I am still married and love my wife and kids more today than I did 10 years ago (my oldest is only 6). Check it out… crazy numbers…

The total number of days between Saturday, May 20th, 2000 and Thursday, May 20th, 2010 is 3,652 days.

This is equal to exactly 9 years and 12 months.

This does not include the end date (today), so it’s accurate if you’re measuring in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 3,653 days.

The total time span from 2000-05-20 to 2010-05-20 is 87,648 hours.

This is equivalent to 5,258,880 minutes.

You can also convert 3,652 days to 315,532,800 seconds.

May 20th, 2000 was a Saturday. It is the 141st day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2000 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2000.

May 20th, 2010 is a Thursday. It is the 140th day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2010 is not a leap year, so there are 365 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2010.

Yeah and just to be 100% truthful I am not smart enough or make that way to smart to do all those calculations myself. I used this handy tool >> http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/May+20,+2000/to/May+20,+2010

Well I have to say I am more than excited for this day. I am pretty busy, but I will shut things down later today and do something with my wife and kids, then just my amazing wife (Terri).

Today is the day that celebrates 10 years since we have been married… and to my amazement she still loves me… I hope its more or at least the same as back in the day, after all much has changed, especially me, our lifestyle and the number of people in the house (+3 kids). WOW!

To celebrate I am having a 3 day sale. Starting at noon (12pm) today until noon (12pm) on Sunday I will be almost giving away the Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss System for half its normal price. If you are looking to lose fat fast, then today you can celebrate with me and lose some fat real fast.

Come Celebrate My 10 Year Anniversary and Celebrate the Start of Your New Body

Grapefruit For Fat Loss

Grapefruit For Fat Loss

Grapefruit is highly abundant in a component called Naringin. It is this Naringin that makes the cragefruit diet work. That and the caffeine from coffee, the restricted high glycemic and complex carbs and low calories. But none the less Naringin is very effective for fat loss, medicinal assitance, performance boost and much more.

This is a general overview. The full article is available at www.EmpoweredNutrition.com/naringin-for-fat-loss

Naringin is a Nonessential Micronutrient

My Summary

While Naringin has become most popular for its synergistic effects with other supplements, especially caffeine, it’s quickly gaining ground for its other potential benefits. In particular, its ability to support healing of our tissues after intense, grueling workouts. But make no mistake, the best reason to be interested in Naringin is to increase the effectiveness of the other supplements you may be taking. Get the facts in this unique and interesting review of Grapefruit and Naringin.

Other names for Naringin: citrus bioflavonoid, grapefruit peel, orange peel

Where to find Naringin

Naringin is a flavonoid extracted from the inner peel of grapefruit and other citrus fruits (albeit in lower amounts).

Much of the early research into citrus-fruit flavonoids was funded by the Florida orange juice industry looking for a commercial use for orange peel. Grapefruit product manufacturers try to use fruits with low Naringin content since it causes the bitterness characteristic of citrus fruits. The food industry, however, uses Naringin as a bitter in “tonic” beverages, bitter chocolate, ice cream, and ices.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS

Why athletes use Naringin

Interested in saving some cash by increasing the potency and lifespan of your supplements? Look no further. Naringin does just that and more.

Ways that Naringin can enhance Fat Loss:

Reduce hunger while potentially enhancing the flavor of foods by stimulating the taste buds

Ways that Naringin can enhance Longevity:

Extend the life of supplemented nutrients and increase their potency

HEALTH BENEFITS

Signs of Naringin deficiency: No deficiency conditions are known to exist.

Potential uses for Naringin: Research indicates that Naringin may be useful in the treatment of:

Herpes
Diabetes
Alcoholism
Heart failure
Chronic venous insufficiency
Bruising
