New evening Bodysculpting workout session added at Nutri-Sport Clive
January 29, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
As hundreds of clients have experienced, we have been offering Bodysculpting workouts at Nutri-Sport for a few years now. We are extremely excited to be able to bring back an evening session time slot beginning February 14th!
Bodysculpting is unlike any of the other “fitness challenges” out there. It really is more like personal training rather than group fitness. As the video below shows, it is small groups (no more than 10 people) and our trainers (who have college degrees in health plus certifications) lead the workouts. The training sessions are always different, focusing on all aspects of fitness to make it fun, challenging, but most important, effective on helping you look and feel your absolute best!
We want this to be a lifestyle change so one of the areas of focus are nutrition as well. At the beginning of the program, we educate participants what, when and why they should be eating. Throughout the 9 week program, we monitor their nutrition and make sure results are being achieved.
Check out this video below to get a small glimpse of what Bodyscultping is all about:
The next sessions begin on February 14th. The evening session is Tuesday/Thursday at 6:30 PM and Saturday morning at 7 or 8 AM. The morning sessions is Monday/Wednesday/Friday at either 5 or 6 AM, plus Saturday morning. There is also a noon session on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Cost on the evening 9-week session is $225, the morning and noon session is $299.
Space is limited so sign up today!

Nutri-Sport supplement research: whey protein improves recovery and strength
January 24, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
If there is a supplement that is considered “king” than it would have to be protein. In our experience when we ask clients and customers what supplements they are currently using, nine times out of ten, they say “a protein shake”. Granted, this is a very broad description of what should be a specific ratio of protein, carbohydrates and other essential elements, but the message is that most realize the importance of protein after a hard workout.
In a recent study published by the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN), they put to the test yet again the power of protein. In this study, the researchers compared taking 30 grams of whey protein isolate post workout, along with breakfast, lunch, afternoon and evening meals. The control group took in 30 grams of carbs (equivalent to a piece of fruit) at the same intervals.
The results showed an increase not only in strength but also an increase in the recovery (see complete study here). This research shows yet again the importance of having protein (specifically whey) in your diet and eating frequently throughout the day (making sure high quality protein is in each meal).

Nutri-Sport supplement tip: pre workout and during workout supplementation
January 17, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
When customers ask us what the most important supplement to take is, the answer is always a multi-vitamin, essential fatty acids (omegas) and a good protein, especially post workout. However, for those looking to increase their arsenal another step, they should examine pre and peri (or during) workout supplementation.
During an intense training session, you break your body down and create an incredible amount of stress on it. If you examine your supplement program, the amount you should take is likely highest around your workouts for this good reason. A recent study from the Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition proved that consuming a supplement pre and during workouts containing creatine and 39 grams of carbs along with amino acids increased lean body mass, strength and decreased bodyfat (see study here).
By optimizing your intake before and during your workouts, not only will you feel better (stronger/more energy) during your workout, but you will get more results too!
Here is the supplement stack we recommend before/during workouts:
Pre workout
60-30 min prior: whey protein and carbs (Karbolyn)
30-15 min prior: Pre workout formula (Quake 10.0 -has creatine, along with other performance enhancing elements)
During workout: Xtend (3-4 scoops, contains BCAAs, Glutamine and Citrulline Malate, )
Carbs (dextrose or maltodextrin depending on bodyweight/goals)
Xtend, sip during workout

Nutri-Sport Training Tip: Zercher Squats
January 11, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Training your legs is one of the best things you can do. Legs are one of the biggest muscle groups in your body, which by activating this large amount of muscle fibers, you have a substantial effect on your metabolism, fat loss, muscle gain and overall strength. The “zercher squat” not only targets your legs, but it also helps strengthen your “core” and overall body. It is a great exercise for those who are leery of putting a bar on their back to do regular squats or perhaps don’t have a squat rack they can use. This can be done off a bench press as well.
Try this at your next leg workout.
