New monthly Bodysculpting small group training program
June 28, 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 start open this small group training option up to even more individuals!
Our program is more like small group personal training than any other type of group fitness class out there so we have set it up as such. The sessions are now divided into months (verses weeks) and you can sign up month to month. We also have various time slots, 5AM, 6AM and noon on Mon/Wed/Fri and 7 PM on Tues/Thurs. Saturday is 7AM or 8AM. You can attend 4 of these sessions based on your schedule (and it is okay to make up at a different than normal time slot).
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 month, we monitor their nutrition and make sure results are being achieved.
Contact us today to get into the upcoming month’s session before all the spots are filled!

Supplement research: GPLC
June 24, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
When you train, it is blood flow that is the carrier of nutrients to the muscles for performance. This is also the case after your session and the focus switches to recovery. Optimizing blood flow is a desired outcome to enhance both aspects. A supplement that you can add to your stack that does this and more is GPLC.
GPLC is short for Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (also known as GlycoCarn USP). Research published in the JISSN has shown that this oral Carnitine (an amino acid) increases the amount of Nitric Oxide production, which in turn increases blood flow to the muscles (see study here). Studies used 4.5 grams and levels peaked at 90 min. Most pre-workout formulas contain some GPLC but often not the fully effecitive dose. Thus supplmenting with additional GPLC is effective by combing with your pre workout formula pre workout. Be warned that it is a very tart taste and at best your pre workout will cover the flavor.
In addition to helping optimize your training, the GPLC increases the amount of fatty acids that can be transported and burned during exercise, thereby increasing fat utilization and bodyfat loss.
GPLC is also a great anti-oxidant so the benefits of post workout recovery is further enhanced with this factor. If you are looking to take your workouts up a level and want your pre-workout to reach it’s full potential, add some GPLC before your next training session.

Nutri-Sport Supplement research: dehydration
June 9, 2011 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Is Dehydration Holding You Back?
Dehydration is a word that many people have heard before, but is still a very vague topic. Is dehydration serious? How do you know if you are dehydrated? Will dehydration influence your performance in workouts?
To help shed light on these common questions, a study was submitted to the U.S. National Library of Medicine about dehydration and exercise performance. Some of the negative side effects seen while dehydrated were increased body temperature, increased heart rate, and possibly increased reliance on carbohydrate as a fuel source. Although some of the goals of exercise are to increase body temperature and have an elevated heart rate, it is necessary to do it in the right manor. Not only does dehydration cause those serious side effects, it also increases the level of perceived exertion, or how hard you feel like you are working. Muscle tissue contains a large amount of water, and this study showed that even a 2% level of dehydration caused decreases in performance. Water deprived muscles are not as efficient as a hydrated muscle.
Sometimes it is not always easy to stay hydrated, even if you enjoy drinking water. Making multiple trips to the sink throughout the day can sometimes slip your mind. One suggestion we make to clients and customers is to drink a powdered supplement to make sure you are getting enough water in throughout the day. Supplements like Xtend and Cytomax are not only great performance enhancers; they also offer a great tasting option to your daily water intake. If you can regularly supplement in products like Xtend throughout the day, not only are you in constant recovery mode, but you are giving your body the water you need for optimal health. Many people use these in place of Crystal Light or Gatorade packets to flavor water. Stop in to try a sample and see what a difference a properly hydrated workout can make!
