Want to get fit? Walk or bike to work..

Here is an article I found that more people should read. It is understandable to some people who have a commute to their job in the morning, or are far from their place of work. Even though living in New Jersey is very fast paced, and we all are trying to get to our destination that much quicker than the next person, this article explains the importance of not driving.

Diet Pills and how they trick you.

More Diet Pills Spiked With Prescription Drugs

Young You Corporation has been informed by the FDA that their four weight loss supplements contain an undeclared drug called “Sibutramine” which is an FDA-approved drug used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss. The following products are affected by the recall:

1. Slimbionic
2. One Weight Loss Pill
3. SlimDemand Capsules
4. Botanical Weight Loss

The products listed above were sold and distributed nationwide via the internet and at the company’s Weight Loss and Rejuvenation Center in Tarzana. FDA advises that these products pose a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke.

Why Spike Diet Pills With Drugs?

Because drugs work and most supplements don’t. Yes, I said it. Nearly all of the herbs you see on diet pill labels do not cause fat loss. When people want to lose fat quickly, they turn to diet pills for a quick fix. If a company can add drugs or other herbal stimulants to their products, consumers will “feel” the product working and tell others about how great the product works. This of course creates positive word of mouth which leads to further sales. It’s for this reason that caffeine is in nearly every diet pill on store shelves.

Sixth Supplement Recall This Week

Yes the FDA has recalled a ton of supplements in the last few months and this is only the beginning. With new government regulations being placed on supplement companies and the factories that make these products, all companies will be forced to start improving the quality of their products. This is great for consumers but many of the small and mid-sized supplement companies will not be able to afford to adhere to the new government regulations.

Acceleration/Absolute Speed (Linear Training)

Linear Training

Here are some notes about acceleration and absolute speed that can be applied.

Acceleration

Posture--Full Body lean (Pilar Posture)

Arm Action-90 degree, nose to hip pocket (no midline crossing), hands relaxed.

Leg Action-Piston like, high knees, down and back, good heel recovery.

Dorsiflexion-toes up so the ball of the foot strikes the ground first.

Drills--Evolution of Man, seated arm pumping, standing arm pumping, wall drills, sled pulls, trainer with partner hold and release, car pushes, hills, tubing, harness, partner accelerated.


Absolute Speed

Posture-straight up Pillar Posture

Arm Action-90 degree but small shoulder swing depending on speed.

Leg Action-Cyclical, good heel recovery

Dorsiflexion-old school thought of heel striking is out, ball of the foot strikes the ground, not the heel, this puts the calf in a great stretched position. It's more efficient, dynamic and orthopaedically safe.

Drills-Wall Drills, ankling or stepping over the shin.

Corrective Drills-For externally rotated feet or (monster) starts-adduction exercises and wall drills will correct.

TESTing Yourself

Test Sports Club in Tinton Falls is an excellent place to go and improve your knowledge and physical condition. With some of the best trainers in town, Test really proves to be above the competition. Test does not concentrate on certain aspects of health as most gyms do. Test will prove to everyone that walks through their door, what fitness is, and how to go about changing habits to fit a healthy lifestyle. With an array of machines, from cables, to free weights, to Keiser machines, and even a Power Plate, Test is way beyond the competition.
