Adventure for health and exercise
6am and I'm getting ready to head out for a day of canyoneering. Canyoneering is a great way to have fun and sweat and get some great exercise while doing it. Canyoneering involves endurance, some strength, some swimming, climbing, hiking and generally you travel light so you do a little dieting while doing it. I love living in Phoenix Arizona just for the fact that you can do this with a short drive. I have been on trips where we have to swim for 45 minutes just to get to the mouth of the canyon. I like to take energy supplements with me like VPX Redline Power Rush to keep me going. Protein bars are great too. They are light and water proof and very tasty on your trip. A trip takes about 6-7 hours but it seems like only minutes. The scenery is so breath taking and feeling of being with nature is so great that you really don't want to leave. I always dream of setting up camp and staying for a few weeks. We post a lot of these videos on Youtube

Summer Beach Weddings or Destination Weding WeightLoss
Summertime of course is a big season for those who are ready to tie the knot. Why is summer the big wedding month? There are several reasons; Spring is a huge reason. Clothes start coming off and young men start thinking more of love. Outdoor wedding look and work much better in 70 degree temperatures. The holidays are a difficult time to get married and many put it of until after them.
The beach wedding is a particular favorite, but usually the dress is much smaller and tighter. Many women want to drop 20-30 lbs before the wedding and a good way to do it is through, diet, exercise and supplementation. Exercise is always difficult because it is a busy time for a bride to be and she has little time to deal with it.
Diet, when you are on the go from church, to bridal shop, to cateror, to preachers office you have to eat when you can.
Supplementation is the only hope for many brides. There are many diet products out there and many are very effective at trimming pounds and burning fat. Megadrine is a good product by Hi Tech Pharma that will work for most women. However one thing that dieting women forget to remember is to take care of their health while dieting. It is important to take a good multivitamin like Vitatrol when dieting. It replaces trace minerals and vitamins that are essential to your health.

No Xplode by BSN Muscle Pumping Supplement For Bodybuilders
No Xplode by BSN Nutrition is one of my favorite muscle building supplements available today. Few bodybuilding supplements out there can give you almost instant results. If you take NO Explode about 45 minutes before a work out you will notice that your pump in your muscles is better than you have ever had before. That is great for me because I love getting a huge pump in the gym. It motivates me to train harder, flex harder and pose more in the mirror. Many bodybuilders forget how important posing is. When it is contest time and you have to stand in front of the judges for 10 minutes and you need to flex the entire time, you better believe you wish you would have practised your posing hard. Posing also brings out separation in your muscles and builds up your endurance. It has been proven in court that posing alone will make you more muscular. Charles Atlas proved it years ago that isometrics is conducive to muscle growth.
The second big positive to No Xplode is the muscle volumization it gives you. It increases the volume of the muscle, and the larger the muscle the more weight it can push and the more damage you do to the muscle cell wall, which in turn causes your body to heal the damaged area with more muscle fiber. End result more lean muscle! Make sure your taking a quality protein when training. I like Beverly International Muscle provider.

Probiotics and Good Health
There are a few different terms that are used when discussing probiotics:
Prebiotic - (greek - before life) a substance (usually an oligosaccharide) that cannot be digested but does promote the growth of beneficial bacteria or probiotics
Probiotic - (for life) a substance that contains microorganisms or bacteria that are beneficial to the host organism.
Symbiotic - (plus life) a substance containing both a prebiotic and probiotic.
Probiotics are rapidly becoming a popular and important tool for preserving our natural health. The concept that probiotics are based on however is not a new one. In her book "Bacteria For Breakfast" Dr. Kelly Karpa says, " Fermented milk products which contain probiotics have been used for centuries. According to Persian tradition, Abraham of the Old Testament owed his longevity to ingestion of fermented milk. King Francis I of France was reportedly cured of an illness after eating yogurt in the early 1500's... So you see this "probiotic stuff "isn't new. Probiotics have been around for more than 5000 years."
The basic concept behind probiotics is that your body is host to microorganisms or bacteria known as gut flora that are essential to your health. Substances containing these microbes can be taken as a way to improve your beneficial microbial population. Probiotics have become an important part of nutrition because our microbial populations have been altered by the use of antibiotics and other substances that are designed to kill germs and disease. While practices, such as antibiotics, are effective at killing germs and disease, they are also effective in killing your beneficial bacteria. By introducing friendly microbes to your gut flora you can strengthen your resident micro flora. Although, probiotics have not proven to be effective at taking up residence themselves, they can strengthen your resident friendly microbes over a period of time.
The 1908 Nobel Prize Winner, Ellie Metchnikoff showed that phagocytes destroy harmful bacteria in our bodies. The study of beneficial bacteria lead the Russian microbiologist to start drinking fermented milk and yogurt. Metchnikoff experienced improved health and well-being.
Metchnikoff studied the phenomenon of an incredible amount of people in Bulgaria living to be over 100 years old. He attributed their health and longevity to a microbe in the widely eaten Bulgarian yogurt, and he named the yogurt culturing microbe after the Bulgarians - Lactobacillus Bulgaricus.
Lactobacillus Bulgaricus is just one of one of the microbes that have been shown to be beneficial to our health. The scientific names for microbes always include the genus and species names and sometimes include a strain. Microbes considered to be beneficial to the human body include the genus names, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces. Specific microbes include: Lactobacilus bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. rueteri, Streptococcus lactis, S. citrovorus, Bifobacterium bifidium, Saccharomyces boulardii and others.
Probiotics improve and maintain your health in many ways.
The healing powers of fermented milks have been known for centuries but it has only been in the last 100 years that we have learned much about the microbes that give these substances there healing powers. It has also been relatively recent that we have discovered more about the specific ways that these microbes improve our health. The beneficial bacteria that make up our gut flora have many functions in the body and are essential to our health. A search of medical journals will find a huge number of experiments and articles of research on the benefits of probiotics. Some these benefits include: enhancing bowel function, prevention of colon cancer, cholestoral lowering, lowering of blood pressure, improving immune function and reducing infections, reducing infammation, improving mineal absorption, preventing growth of harmful bacteria, fighting off diseases like candida and exzema, and many more.
Microbes are everywhere.
Huge amounts of microorganisms exist just about everywhere you can think of.. Humans and all animals are host to microbes that live on our skin and inside our bodies. It has been estimated that more microbial cells exist in the body than human cells.
There are trillions of microorganisms in your gut.
These microorganisms are collectively called your gut flora, micro flora, or beneficial bacteria and are estimated to make up about 3 pounds of your body weight. These bacteria include many different microbes both friendly and harmful. As mentioned above antibiotics are designed to kill germs and disease(bad microbes) but they also kill the beneficial microbes in your gut flora. There are many other things that do this as well. Chlorinated tap water, pasteurization and sterilization of foods and added preservatives, have been used in removing all the microbes, both good and bad, from the food supply. This effects our ability to maintain a healthy balanced microbial population.
What is happening with probiotics today for humans is similar to what happened in past years for cattle, horses and other animals.
In the cattle industry there was a problem with the gut flora for cattle that had been treated with antibiotics. If a cow was treated with antibiotics for a disease the cow would overcome the disease but would then starve to death because it did not have the microbes it needed to help digest its food. Probiotics were introduced as a way to fix the problem and now it is standard practice for cattle to receive probiotics after they have been treated with antibiotics. This is also common in horses and other animals.
Why do mammals need microbes?
Digestive microbes are a natural part of the mammalian nutrition system. The way plant and animal products become food involves the development of digestive microbes to work in a synergistic way with human nutrition. Humans are complicated organisms that require nutrients we are not able to make ourselves. Our nutrients come from other living things. In order for something to be nutritious food for humans or other animals, it has to have been a living thing at one time. This could be plants or other animals or products from plants or other animals.
Microbes are simple organisms that make all the nutrients they need from what they live on. The way humans came into existence involved using microbes as part of our nutrition. Since we can't produce all the nutrients we need like microbes do, we eat food which contains microbes so the microbes play a part in obtaining the nutrients from the food.
Where do digestive microbes come from?
Digestive microbes come from uncooked fruits, vegetables, and dairy products that you eat. The first microbes that you get are from breast milk. An infant is also inoculated with microbes when they are born. In the past, most people probably kept the microbes they had as an infant and that were developed from breast milk their entire life. Milk microbes may be the most important to our nutrition.
Today there are many ways digestive microbes are killed. When you cook food you kill the microbes that are in it. This is good because you kill all the germs (undesirable microbes) but you also get rid of all the beneficial microbes. The microbes in processed foods are killed when preservatives are added. Microbes are also grown in many ways. It is important to kill the bad microbes in our food in order to avoid sickness and disease. It is also important to have a healthy balance of beneficial microbes to avoid sickness and disease and to keep your body nutritionally sound.

Getting In Shape for the beach in Destin Florida
I know what your thinking this summer. This summer I'm going to get in shape this summer and look great on the beach. This blog is for men and women. There are a few quick things you can do if your slightly out of shape or over weight.
One simple thing is stop drinking soft drinks and start drinking water. If your like me and have to eat out almost every meal. So when I eat out I would have about 24 ounces of soft drink. That's about 300 -400 calories 3 times a day. So just by having water with your meals you can cut a ton of calories from your diet and save $6 dollars a day.
Secondly increase your protein intake. Add 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight will spend up your metabolism and fill you up. Protein drinks taste great now. Make pudding or a smoothie out of them and soon you be looking forward to them.
3rd get some exercise. I don't care what it is just do it. Walk, Golf, Run, lift weights, ride a bike whatever.
4th Get a tan. Tanning makes you feel good and look good. Don't go over board. Get a nice little base tan so that you can stay and play in the sun without getting burnt. A sunburn is worse than a suntan for you.
My favorite place to stay is destin FLorida and I like this place It is a Vacation Beach House in Destin Florida
Remember if it is difficult you won't stick with it so don't kill yourself and take small steps. Oh I guess I should say talk to your DR. but you probably won't..
Weight Gain due to stress after a injury.
Last Sept I was injured during the taping of the TV program Pro's vs Joe's. I blocked a basketball shot and came down sideways on my knee. I heard a crunch and I felt like my leg came apart at the knee. Which it basically did. I knew instantly something was wrong, bad wrong. I jumped on a plane and flew back to my home town of Phoenix AZ. Where my doctors confirmed that I had torn my ACL, MCL, Meniscus, and damaged the cartilage at the ends of my bones. That is about as bad as you can you injury a knee.
I waited a few months to have the surgery so that the swelling could go down. The surgery was hell. The pain medicine made me sick so I could not take it. Rehab starts 48 hours after surgery and your leg feels like a block of wood. Because your mobility is limited you get very little exercise and your cortisol levels are so high that you start to gain weight due to metabolic stress.
Well now it is 6 months after surgery and summer time and I have started to make my comeback to get in shape. I can exercise fully now but my midsection has put on some pounds.
I have always relied on Beverly International for my nutritional supplements, so now will be no different. One of my first supplements of choice is Muscle Provider by Beverly Nutrition. I will need the best protein made to recover from workouts and the muscle damage that will occur.
I also use Mass 500 and Ultra 40's for extra protein and minerals with my meals. I will go into more specific details on the benefits and make up of these supplements in later blogs so check back daily. I will also break down my work outs in detail as time goes on.
It was great to be back in the gym and not doing rehab workouts but real muscle building fat burning workouts. My fitness level had definitely suffered from my 6 month lay off. One of the first exercises I got back to was the StairMaster. This is the one that looks like a escalator. It is the only one I use for real cardio. DO 40 floors on this and you have worked out. More tomorrow.

Yellow Bullet Diet Pills
Everyone remembers ephedra diet pills, the effective fat burning herb used for 5000 years to lose weight and give you energy. The drug companies paid off politicians and judges to get the effective weightloss product off the market so that drug companies could release over the counter diet products that suck or give you anal leakage. Wake up people! Tobacco kills thousands everyday, and where is the FDA to pull it from the market. Instead they are wasting your tax dollars removing a product that had 155 reported cases of adverse reactions. Aspirin kills more people a year than ephedra has in 5000 years.
Fortuneately there is a product that is legally sold that contains ephedra in the un-adolterated form. Yellow Bullets with 25 mgs of ephedra. I wouldn't expect it to stay on the market long. The drug companies will be spending money to get and every effective herbal supplement off the market. Remember it is not in the drug companies best interest for you to be healthy. However supplement manufacturers do want you to be healthy by continually buying their products and staying in good health.
