What is Fitness Training?
June 22, 2010
Fitness Training should be a joy and your getaway time from the grind of the day. It is a sacred time for you to focus solely on yourself. Bodily fitness is being able to deal with and handle the daily stresses of life, good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits.
If you have not figured it out yet, fitness training and personal fitness is the key to longevity. It will keep your body in high performance and it will guard against any preventative diseases that are large killers of society today.
Of course the only way to start with your personal fitness, one needs to start moving and exercising more. Yes this will mean a little bit of sweat and effort, but hey we as a human race were born to move and never to sit down and push buttons.
Your personal fitness is more than just being aware, it is about implementation into life and getting out there doing it instead of knowing about it. Plan it, put it into your planner and make it happen.
Fitness training is everywhere now. There are many large gyms with all the glitz and glamor and there are also the small private gyms that are more results focused. And then there are the community halls with group classes. No matter how you are going to do it, there is no real answer of what works best except for what works for you instead.
The message is simple. Get out there and keep moving. Your body will love you for it. Rekindle your love affair with your own body.

Overdrive, a Sports Supplement
June 10, 2010
Overdrive is a Sports Supplement produced by the company Pharmanex and provides a blend of B-vitamins, antioxidants, mineral cofactors, proteolytic enzymes and unique electrolytes to enhance energy metabolism during exercise and normal post-exercise muscle recovery.
Overdrive, as a supplement to complement my own training has been very interesting and over the week I have noticed a very marked difference in the way my body feels during and post-exercise.
After doing predominantly Pilates over the past few months, I know for a fact that I would have less Type IIA/B muscle fibres in my body, but I found that I was mentally and physically able to push all the weights that were mapped out in the designed circuits and also able to push the lactate threshold training for metabolic conditioning, all in one day.
28th May 2010 Training Program:
Lactate Threshold Training: 15 minutes
15 sets of Deadlifts at 40kg x 8 reps & 10x Press Ups off the bar on the minute.
Circuit: 13 minutes
Gecko Crawls, Swiss Ball Jacknifes, Eccentric Chin Ups, Renegade Rows, Cleans, Squat Presses, Arnold Presses, Pull Ups, Bench Push/Pulls, Bike, Rower, BOSU Planks.
During the workouts, I felt drained after the first 10 minutes, but as I felt the shift into the second and third gears, my mental confidence just grew and I was able to push it out a bit more. With that in confidence, arousal levels peaked with a little bit more with me powering out on the rower.
With 2 tablets before and 2 during and 2 post exercise. There is a significant tightness around the gluteus maximus muscles and in the back, but only when I move it to a certain range of motion.
It is day two now post workout, 29th May and still feeling fine. Should be able to go a for a workout of some sort later on.
Day Three post workout and still not feeling any soreness at all. There is a tightness in the muscle when moving into certain ranges of movement, but there is significantly no soreness or D.O.M.S. at all. This is truly amazing. I am expecting to be feeling like I have been hit by a bus, but there is no reason to whinge or moan.
Verdict: Highly recommend this product to anyone who is terrified of D.O.M.S. or moans about being sore from training. Or also for those who love training so much that they would need to recover very quickly and stay exercising every couple of days. With supplementation of Overdrive, you will see a significant increase in strength and stamina levels, not to mention accelerated recovery from high intensity workouts.
