Pretend Cardio vs. Parrillo Cardio

Intense Cardio, Mitochondria & Max Endurance Formula™!  
By Andre Newcomb

Pretend Aerobics: See if this sounds familiar: you are riding along in your car on a busy highway and here comes a jogger trotting towards you alongside the roadway heading in the opposite direction. The runner runs a few feet away from oncoming automobiles, like a matador, inches away from being run over by some spaced-out, drunk or high-on-meth motorist. You see these “highway runners” all the time and until recently I used to ponder why these people insisted on running alongside the busy highway, sucking in filthy carbon monoxide fumes while literally risking death.

Eating Beans Helps Lower Cholesterol

Tracie Euker

Consuming as little as one-half cup of cooked dry beans every day helped volunteers lower their total cholesterol levels in an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) study. These results, published in the November issue of the Journal of Nutrition by the ARS scientists and their colleagues, add to a growing—and convincing—body of evidence that beans are a heart healthy food choice. 

The researchers tested 80 volunteers aged 18 to 55 years. Half were healthy, while half had at least two symptoms that lead to metabolic syndrome, a combination of conditions that signal a risk for cardiovascular disease. Those with “pre-metabolic-syndrome” had abdominal obesity and either high triglyceride levels, low HDL “good” cholesterol, high blood sugar, or high blood pressure.

Amino Power! Take your amino acids

A supplement – amino acids – that has been around for ages is getting a fresh look from science and the

Muscle Amino

news for athletes and exercisers has never been better.

Case in point: Investigators at the College of New Jersey studied the effect of a pre-exercise energy sport drink on the acute hormonal response to resistance exercise in eight experienced resistance-trained men. The subjects were randomly provided either a placebo (a carb drink) or the supplement (a combination that included branched chain amino acids and creatine) and they drank it 10 minutes prior to exercising. The men then performed 6 sets of no more than 10 repetitions of the squat at 75 percent of their 1 repetition maximum (1RM) with 2 minutes of rest between sets.

Heavy Weights

Jared was hurt. He had taken a bad hit from an odd angle from an opposing teammate in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter in the last game of the regular season (our town’s high school had advanced to playoffs), then landed even worse on his right shoulder. I don’t find it surprising at all that many of the injuries incurred by football players are virtually identical to what happens to people in automobile accidents. It’s true that you may not have two tons of steel smashing into another vehicle (or a tree) at eighty miles an hour, but you do see human bodies colliding as fast as their feet and muscular hips and thighs can propel them across a field. The padding helps, as well as the fact in the case of Jared that these kids normally don’t get much heavier than 200-220 pounds at the high school level. I have never been brutally tackled by a 350-pound NFL lineman and I plan to keep it that way. I’m scatterbrained enough as it is.
