Nutri-Sport pre-workout supplement review: BSN Hyper FX

November 21, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

Pre-Workout supplements are products that are specifically formulated to help you get the most from your workout. They can do a number of things such as increase energy and blood circulation, improve focus plus enhance endurance (reduce fatigue) throughout your workout. Most products contain some sort of combination of creatine, nitric oxide, caffeine, amino acids, BCAA’s and carbs (which assist with recovery and muscle growth).

By consuming a Pre-Workout product 30-45 minutes prior to training, you can expect to see a increase in your intensity and as a whole your workout stepped up to another level.

HYPER Fx is a Pre-Workout from BSN, it’s and extreme concentrated energy and power amplifier.  Product highlights include:

  • World’s First Effervescent Concentrated Pre-Training Formula
  • Efficacious 10.8-Gram Serving Size – Only 1 Scoop Needed
  • Geranium-Free Intense Pre-Training Energy and Intensity*
  • Inclusion of D-Aspartic Acid and Magnesium Oxide
  • 500 IU of Vitamin D per Serving
  • PEAK ATP® for a Creatine-Free Formula – Ideal for Creatine Non-Responders*
  • CarnoSyn® + Betaine for Power and Endurance Support*
  • Fat-Burning Support*

BSN Hyper Fx

While we don’t put pre-workout supplements in the “top tier” of our stacks, they are a good addition to the basics (multi-vitamin, essential oils, protein and post workout/recovery).  If you are looking for something to add to your arsenal, come in to Nutri-Sport for a sample and to give it a shot!

Tips to enjoy Thanksgiving but not go into a nutrition tailspin

November 10, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

With Thanksgiving Day right around the corner, you may have begun considering what you’re going to contribute to the feast. As we all know, the day is famous for its indulgences and, for many, an annual ritual to overeat and then lounge lazily for the rest of the day watching football games, napping, and spending time with family and friends.

This holiday is a little bit of a challenge for highly health conscious individuals. After all, if you show up to the feast with a dressing-free salad and whole wheat dry rolls, you might be turned away at the door. And, honestly, a once-per-year day of overeating most likely isn’t going to sabotage your diet plans, though sustaining this eating behavior throughout the holiday season could lead to a few extra unwanted pounds to lose in the New Year.

The good news is that there are some simple changes you can make to your Thanksgiving plans this year that will save you some calories (without sacrificing taste or your reputation) and add some fun to your holiday.

  1. Fit it all on one plate. Prevent over-stuffing yourself by fitting your Thanksgiving feast all on one plate (This works best if you don’t use an oversized plate filled to the brim). Sample small portions and avoid going back for seconds. If you’re tempted to return for more, give yourself 20 minutes (about how long it takes to feel full) first.   -Also drink a glass of water prior to the meal to help assist with feeling full.
  2. Eat slowly. Thanksgiving foods are likely to be richer and more filling than your everyday fare, so eat slowly and savor every bite.
  3. Enjoy the company of family and friends. Socialize during your meal and festivities. You can’t eat and talk at the same time — so the more conversation you enjoy, the less you’ll eat.
  4. Get moving. Get a big weight training workout in (studies show your body can handle 300% more nutrients after a hard lifting session, legs are the best) or sign up for a local Turkey Trot 5K or 10K and spend your Thanksgiving morning getting some exercise. Not only will you burn some calories, but you’ll also enjoy some holiday fun!
  5. Supplement with Glucomannon, Alpha Lipoic Acid or Chromium Picolinate prior to the meal.  Glucomannon is a natural appetite suppressant, which will help you feel fuller quicker.  ALA or chromium will help you become more insulin sensitive and tolerate the extra carbs better, without putting your blood sugar/insulin levels into a tailspin.
  6. Make some easy Turkey day substitutions.For example:
    • Eat the white meat without the skin instead of the dark meat with skin and shave off 190 calories.Turkey — white meat, no skin (6oz): 180 calories, 3g fat
      Turkey – dark meat, with skin (6oz): 370 calories, 20g fat
    • Make your own cranberries rather than the jellied stuff and save 120 calories.Cranberries (boiled in sugar) (1/2 cup): 100 calories, <1g fat
      Jellied cranberry sauce (1/2 cup): 220 calories, <1g fat
    • Cut the marshmallows on your sweet potatoes and instead add a little bit of spice to save 100 calories.Sweet potatoes, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (2/3c): 200 calories, 3g fat
      Candied sweet potatoes with marshmallows (2/3c): 300 calories, 3g fat
    • Skip the green bean casserole and instead just steam some green beans and cut 110 calories.Steamed green beans (1/2C): 20 calories, <1g fat
      Green bean casserole (1/2C): 130 calories, 7 g fat
    • Choose pumpkin pie over the pecan pie for dessert and decrease your caloric intake by 160 calories.Pumpkin pie (1/8 pie): 340 calories, 15g fat
      Pecan pie (1/8 pie): 500 calories, 25g fat
    • Add it all up and you find that you’ve saved yourself 650 calories.
      More Healthy Total: 850 calories, 23g fat
      Less Healthy Total: 1500 calories, 56g fat

 

There are 3,500 calories in a pound, so if you calculate the calorie savings from these substitutions, you will find that you saved yourself nearly ¼ pound weight gain! That’s not including the other four other tips above that will help you eat less and move more and save yourself from holiday weight gain.

In just the first 4 weeks, Brenda lost 6.5″, reduced bodyfat by 2.2%, and dropped 8.5lbs.

We are all about comprehensive and more individual training, focusing on you and your results.  It really is more like personal training than group fitness!

**Next monthly session starts in September!!

One-on-one personal training available as well! 
Our staff of trainers are not only just certified, but also have college degrees in the field.  Our many clients range from weight loss, weight gain, strength/balance, sport specific training among others.  If you want to get out of a rut and train in a private setting, we can set up a program that works for your goals, schedule and budget.  Times available are 5AM thru 7PM.  Contact Daira, Tasha, Mike or Ryan to set up a free initial session/consultation.

One-on-One nutrition and training planning/coaching
If you are interested in getting into your all time best shape and reach your full potential, contact Ryan about one-on-one nutrition/training coaching today.  This is for ANYONE who wants to get in better shape, not just bodybuilders!  Ryan is a certified sports nutrition specialist and will create a custom meal plan based on you, your goals and lifestyle, then monitor and work with you on a weekly basis to make sure you hit your goals.

Aquamassage
This is an incredible way to get a quick, non-invasive, therapeutic massage.  What looks like a tanning bed is actually a chamber that has 40 high-pressure jets that go from your feet to your neck pulsating heated water.  You don’t get wet though and are fully dressed.  There is a sheath between you and the water, so you just lay there, relax and enjoy!  A great pick-me-up over lunch, after workouts, or as a maintenance in between intense deep tissue work.  Only $1.00 per minute it is a great way to treat yourself (or someone you know).  Swing in and try it out!

Questions and answers
New segment: Q & A!!

 

In this section, we will answer your questions.  If you have one you would like featured here, please send an email to: ryan@nutrisportfpt.com.

Q.  What are testosterone boosters?

A.  Testosterone is the male hormone that controls the male sex characteristics, including stimulating muscle mass and strength.  As we age, this production is lowered.  Supplements that can increase these levels are classified as natural boosters (such as the D-Aspartic Acid) or pro-hormones.  We carry both but strongly recommend the natural route as it works with the body and the side effects aren’t there.  Also, with a PH, results are more temporary, plus is a banned substance by most athletic associations.
