getting great abs

Posted in Be Beautiful, Home Training Fitness, University of Health on June 17th, 2008

When I was in high school the world was just starting to get obsessed with six pack abs. I joined the frenzy and talked my parents into joining the abdominal roller exercise equipment phase. There were ads for this machine everywhere and you could find them in almost any store. The apparatus is designed to cushion your head and neck while you roll forward and do your crunches. I liked the idea that I wouldn’t strain my neck while I was working out.

The problem with abdominal roller exercise equipment is that rollers don’t offer much advantage over simply lying on the floor and doing your workout. They don’t help you use your abdominal muscles differently. The roller is supposed to support your head and neck, but if you do your crunches right you shouldn’t strain your neck anyway. If you focus on lifting your head and shoulders using your abdominal muscles you won’t put undue stress on your neck. Your abs are plenty strong to lift you up without the help of a roller. I remember seeing a lot of rollers at the gym a few years ago. Now they have been replaced with different abdominal workout equipment. I look back at my roller workouts and I have to smile at how silly the thing was, but we all get caught up in fads once in awhile.

More about getting great abs and getting ready for this summer.

Discover Why Ion-Exchange Whey Protein is Your Best Bet for Building Lean Muscle Mass Quickly

Posted in Home Training Fitness on May 22nd, 2008

What is Whey Protein?

There are several kinds of protein supplements available: milk and egg protein, soy, beef, and even vegetable protein; but the absolutely best source of protein is ion-exchange whey protein. This protein has superior biological value (which means it may yield more usable grams of protein than other protein supplements), plus it is very low in lactose (the substance in milk that causes a lot of stomach upset and gas in individuals).

There are two main ingredients in milk protein, they are casein and whey. Whey is produced mostly from the production of cheese. Milk is treated to cause a shift in pH and the casein coagulates and separates, and raw whey is left un-curded on top of the casein. It’s then collected and undergoes various processing steps. These processing steps are what determines the quality of the whey protein end product.

During the processing, fat and lactose are filtered out to make a lower fat, lower carbohydrate, and higher concentrated protein powder. The protein content can range from 35% to 95% whey protein. Obviously, the higher the protein concentration, the more processing (filtering) is needed which adds to the cost. Generally, when the protein level reaches >90% concentration, it’s considered WPI (whey protein isolate).

What is Ion Exchange Protein?

With all of the different terms associated with protein supplements, it’s not difficult to understand why we get confused. When talking about whey proteins, for example, the term ion exchange is common, but what does it really mean? Ion exchange is one method used to produce protein supplements. This is a process that separates proteins on the basis of their electrical charge. Various solvents are used to create an attractive charge on the proteins, which causes them to migrate toward oppositely charged resin beads in the reaction vessel. The protein can then be removed from the resin beads by reversing the charge to result in a “highly purified” whey protein isolate (WPI).

What is Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides (HWP)?

Hydrolyzed whey peptides (HWP) are arguably the best - at least in terms of bioavailability - whey proteins that money can buy. HWPs are short chains of amino acids produced by strategically digesting (with enzymes) various bonds in whole whey proteins. Preliminary research suggests that HWPs are more easily absorbed (and properly utilized) than any other protein that we know of. Unfortunately, HWPs have an extremely bitter taste, so they can only be used in conjunction with other proteins and added in relatively small amounts.

“Advanced Whey Protein Is HWP Protein”
To provide for the best possible protein supplement, we have developed Advanced Whey Protein in 4 delicious flavors. Advanced Whey Protein is produced from hydrolyzed whey protein (producing di-, tri-, oligo-, and polypeptides) from specially-filtered (micro and ultra-filtered) and ion-exchange whey protein concentrate. This unique processing results in the highest quality protein that mixes instantly with a spoon, making it quick and easy to add extra protein to your daily food intake.
