Whey Protein, Fitness, and Elliptical Trainers.Three of the biggest buzz words in the health and weight loss industry today! It's almost overwhelming the amount of noise and confusion that we are being bombarded with in the Ottawa market as well as the rest of Canada. Whey protein, fitness, and elliptical trainers people use these words like a mantra.
We want to improve our current fitness level, some of us want to lose weight or build more muscle. With so many options out there where does one start? Infact the more important question is or should be How?
Fitness?
We all know cardio training is very important. Every where we turn we hear how great elliptical trainers are. But do you know why they are so great? What are the real benefits to your over all fitness and weight loss?
Exercising about 75 minutes a week may be enough to improve fitness levels in inactive women who are overweight, researchers say.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and U.S. National Institutes of Health recommend at least a half hour on most days a week of moderate exercise to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer.
All of the women who exercised were fitter based on measurements of oxygen intake during exercise, and their waists were smaller. That is important because belly fat increases the risk of premature death, Type 2 diabetes, cholesterol problems and hypertension.
Elliptical Trainer Why?
Ellipticals - One Step Beyond
The eliptical trainer is the latest advancement in aerobic exercise equipment, involving all 4 limbs moving in tandem, in a natural and full range of motion. Ellipticals are often called "gliders" because the user appears to be gliding or running on air. Ellipticals are a hybrid of the best that steppers, treadmills, and Nordic Track cross-country machines have to offer, but without the impact or the unnatural motion.
The Elliptical Trainer - In a Class All Its Own
The eliptical trainer is a natural, full-body, low-impact workout machine. No other single machine can honestly claim to be all of those things. Simply put, the eliptical trainer is, by virtue of its refreshingly new design, a superior machine. Today, ellipticals are in a class all their own, and the rest of the fitness equipment world is playing catch-up.
Ellipticals as Crosstrainers
Sometimes you'll hear ellipticals referred to as "crosstrainers". This is simply because ellipticals combine a cardio workout with the equivalent of a very-high-rep, very-low-weight arm and shoulder workout. Because, with ellipticals, the hands grip poles that can be pushed and pulled simultaneously, it's possible to tone the arms, shoulders, pecs, and back while you enjoying your cardio routine, "enjoying" being the key word. Simply put, involving the arms in your cardio workouts makes them more fun.
Whey Protein?
Whey protein began its popularity with athletes and body builders, but has continued to grow in popularity as an aid for many health concerns. Whey protein definitely helps to increase lean muscle mass. Without protein, you may spend hours in the gym and never increase your lean muscle mass simply because you cannot grow a muscle without protein. It has also been discovered that whey protein has many other health benefits. It is useful for weight loss, specifically fat loss. Brain function relies on appropriate protein. It enhances immune function by increasing important glutathione levels. There is much more. Whey protein has been researched in prevention and life extension studies for such things as cancer, AIDS and other degenerative diseases. It may help T-cell activity and decrease wasting tissues during illness and therefore increase well-being and the speed of overall recovery.
Whey protein is now the most biologically available protein on the market which is why athletes reach for it as their first choice. This means that whey protein is the most easily absorbed, easy to utilize protein, with the most protein per serving.
