Wayne Westcott Ph.D. C.S.C.S.During the past few years there has been a lot of interest in the aging process and strategies for delaying degenerative problems. Although we all grow older, physical inactivity appears to accelerate the adverse effects of aging. Consider the physiological responses to sedentary lifestyles.It is an unfortunate fact that about 90 percent of all Americans do too little exercise to receive any fitness benefits” Most of those who do perform regular exercise engage in aerobic activity such as walking, jogging, cycling and dancing.

High-intensity interval training programme is designed to provide bigger payoff from workouts in less time. It helps improve current fitness level in short sessions by increasing metabolism rate and cutting workout sessions to a fraction of the time. Interval training is an effective combination of high-bursts of exercise and periods of low-intensity exercises, or active rest. The programme requires raising heart rates to 85% or more of its maximum capacity. The maximum heart rate of an individual can be calculated by subtracting the age from 220 and then multiplying by 0.85

ResearchThe effects of pre- and post-exercise consumption of multi-ingredient performance supplements on cardiovascular health and body fat in trained men after six weeks of resistance training: a stratified, randomized, double-blind study Michael J Ormsbee, Dennison David Thomas, William Kyle Mandler, Emery G Ward, Amber W Kinsey, Lynn B Panton, Timothy P Scheett, Shirin Hooshmand, Emily Simonavice and Jeong-Su Kim For all author emails, please log on. Nutrition & Metabolism 2013, 10:39 doi:10.1186/1743-7075-10-39 Published: 16 May 2013 Abstract (provisional)BackgroundThe cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic health benefits or risks associated with consumption of multi-ingredient performance supplements (MIPS) in conjunction with periodized resistance training (RT) in resistance-trained men are unknown. This population is a major target audience for performance supplements, and therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effect of RT and commercially available pre- and post-exercise performance supplements on CV health and body fat in resistance-trained men. MethodsTwenty-four resistance-trained men completed six weeks (three times/week) of periodized RT while either ingesting SHOT 15-min pre-exercise and SYN immediately post-exercise (multi-ingredient performance supplement group: MIPS) or an isocaloric maltodextrin placebo 15-min pre-exercise and immediately post-exercise (Placebo group). Before and after six weeks of RT and supplementation, resting heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), total body fat, android fat, gynoid fat, fat-free mass (FFM) and fasting blood measures of glucose, lipids, nitrate/nitrite (NOx), cortisol and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured

It’s 12pm and I’m having my first meal. Not because I’m too busy to eat, hate breakfast, or I want to slow down my metabolism. It’s all part of the master plan I used to drop the most weight I EVER HAVE while maintaining the same body fat in only 30 days. Why did I do it? I told one of my old (young) college professors I would beat her in a half marathon, and in order to increase my speed I had to be lighter on my feet, which means dropping some serious LBS.

If you’ve been even remotely involved in the nutrition or fitness community over the past few years, you at least know the term intermittent fasting (IF). Enthusiasts praise its pattern of orchestrated eating and abstaining for everything from improved immunity to mental clarity and, of course, fast fat loss.IF involves periods of alternately eating and fasting. Beyond that, definitions widely vary.

Dear Mark: HIIT, Omega-3s and Cooking, and Gluten-Free Baked Goods It’s time, yet again, for another edition of Dear Mark. As per usual, I’m doing a roundup of reader questions. First, I cover high intensity interval training, also known as HIIT. It’s the subject of an ongoing study that’s been getting a lot of play in the media, and, while we don’t have access to the as-yet-unpublished research, we do know a little something about HIIT from numerous other studies. Next, a reader asks about the effect of cooking on the omega-3 content and stability of salmon.

Why Tabata FailsBy Kate VidulichHigh intensity interval training (HIIT) has exploded onto the mainstream fitness scene, and is a prominent part of every intelligent person’s fat loss training program. With this increased exposure, it’s no wonder someone got a hold of the scientific research on interval training and spun it the wrong way.Thousands of trainees are using one particular type of interval training – without a clue what they’re really doing.Tabata Professor Izumi Tabata and friends in Japan created this 4-minute ultra intense protocol and tested it on his Olympic speed skating guinea pigs in 1996.Today’s version of Tabata in commercial gyms is far from the real deal. Tabata training requires “exhaustive intermittent training consisted of seven to eight sets of 20-s exercise at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max with a 10-s rest between each bout.” That quote is from the study itself (1).It’s time to dispel the myths right now…Can the real Tabata protocol please stand up? (Rap on).Why Tabata FailsMistake #1: You’re NOT doing TabataHands up if you’ve read the study? If you’re not a science fan, it’s like alien language

| E-mail| PrintHappy weightYesterday’s intro about intermittent fasting got a lot of attention so clearly a lot of you are interested in learning more about it. I hope many of you will take the time to read the free e-book I mentioned which explains everything in great detail. Dr Berardi spent six months testing many different methods before he wrote about it so he is truly speaking from experience.I am going to take the weekend to prepare my next blog about this topic, because it really is important to talk about every angle, positive and negative, and I want to be thorough.I have to say, much of what Dr Berardi explains in his book is spot on and as I have been exploring two of the IF methods it has been so helpful to have his experiences to draw from as reassurance when I am hitting the tough moments. My workouts at the gym have definitely been tough.But I will also say, I have had a lot of pleasant surprises too.In the meantime it’s important to know that IF is definitely not for everyone, and I would not recommend it to anyone unless they had a really good handle on the necessary basics of  nutrition first. If you can’t even stick to a well balanced, clean diet 90% of the time without implementing fasting, you definitely won’t be able to keep a handle on it with IF
