THE AB WHEEL

The Ab Wheel, also called an Ab Roller, is probably one of the most economical, simple and effective abdominal exercise tools. It is light and compact, which means, you can take it on business trips, holidays, weekends away etc. It doesn’t take up any space in the house which is normally the problem with home fitness equipment.

This piece of equipment might not look like much but once tried will deliver an abdominal burn like never before. The Ab Wheel has stood the test of time, being around for more than thirty years.

The Ab Wheel offers a workout from beginner to advance and there are endless variations that can make it more challenging or easier.
It succeeds by isolating and targeting your lower and upper abdominal muscles. There is no possible way to cheat, so your abdominal muscles are getting challenged, guaranteed.

All in all, the Ab Wheel is well worth every cent and the value surpasses the financial investment. The Ab Wheel more than just a fad, which a lot of times, this abdominal equipment are. It will still be around for the next thirty years.
The only negative aspect of the Ab Wheel is that it might be a little hard for some people to assemble. However, from an exercise point of view, the Ab Wheel is excellent!

Muscle Milk from CytoSport

 

Muscle Milk contains LeanLipidsTM that promote fat loss in three different ways

• Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the predigested “fast burning fats,” are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. 20% of Muscle Milk lipids are MCTs.
 
• Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also less likely to be stored as fat. Special enzyme engineering makes these lipids even more functional and enhanced mineral retention.

• Recent research reveals calories with engineered lipids taken before and during workouts promote leanness. It is thought that these calories are used for workout energy, with less deposited as fat.

Muscle Milk does contain higher fat percentages but the LeanLipids in the product actually help you get leaner.

Human milk is composed of unique and highly complex proteins, peptides and amino acids, which promote rapid muscle tissue growth. EvoProTM includes these alpha and beta micellar caseins, alpha-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, L-glutamine and more. Nature created this precise mix to stimulate muscle growth to higher levels, and EvoPro is the ultimate nitrogen delivery source.

Muscle Milk helps grow muscle faster than gainers, whey or even creatine. This increased muscle growth is possible because Muscle Milk is the first product patterned after Nature’s ultimate anabolic food-human mother’s milk. Locked within the composition of human mother’s milk are long-held secrets to muscle growth potential. We took the next step and actually duplicated these important muscle growth factors into Muscle Milk. Muscle Milk helps you grow muscle if that is your goal.

Muscle Milk in this sense is a very flexible product as it can be used for weight loss goals and weight gain goals, building beautiful, healthy, lean muscle

Acai Berry is being recognised as one of the best supplements at the moment, but the claims is nothing new. Quick weight loss, increased energy, we’ve heard this all before. Here are the facts:

Acai berry has been used as source for food and as a source for dietary supplements by the South American locals for centuries. Claim has been made that it can enhance health by increasing the immune system, by providing fuel source for the body and acts as a powerful detox product. Most acai berries do contain high levels of phenols and ant-mutagenic compounds, necessary to ward off diseases. In regards to providing fuel source, acai berries have one of the high concentrations of anti-oxidants compared to the other berries. It also contains its share of free radicals and minerals necessary to promote muscle build-up and skin elasticity.  It contains fiber and iron, two elements that can help with bowel movement, and thereby remove most toxins in the body.

There is no doubt that Acai Berry is a good product with many benefits as discussed above and with people like Dr Oz and Oprah endorsing it, it is no fad. However, be careful who you buy from and do your research properly as there is many products like this that contain very little of the ingredients you need, and usually it is the cheap ones.

GARMIN FORERUNNER 405

 

I have had my Garmin Forerunner 405 heart rate monitor now for a couple of months and it is awesome, so I thought it would be in order to give it a proper review here:

The Garmin Forerunner 405 heart rate monitor is a multisport wrist heart rate monitor and it has settings for running, cycling and then other multisport disciplines. It has a GPS installed, so there is no need for any footpods or extra gear. It has numerous extra settings including a training buddy that you can you race against and it is also nice to quickly monitor your pace. It is able to show time distance and pace in one face and it automatically chages faces , so there is no need to push any buttons while on the run. The option to change the function and displays are there as well. Apart from being a heart rate monitor it also is a full blown GPS, so getting lost in the mountains on yhour trail run is not possible either.

All in all the Garmin Forerunner 405 heart rate monitor is a state of the art piece of equipment and I absolutely love mine. If there is one thing that causes to be a problem it is the fact that it is so bulky and I seem to bump it alot causing scratches. Apart from that, it is perfect.
