You should include beta-alanine in your pre-workout supplement because it helps to increase carnosine. This is a dipeptide found in high concentrations in muscles and the brain. It is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that buffers pH in muscles. Muscle pH decreases during intensive exercise.

Pre-workout supplements are a proven ergogenic aid for people engaged in physical activity with benefits that include positives changes in body composition (increased lean muscle mass). #SportsNutrition #BetaAlanine #StrengthTraining #GymMotivation #PersonalTrainer #Healthylifestyle

Think of your hips and shoulders as the 'engines' or power centres of your body. They're built to handle heavy forces and dynamic movement. And your spine acts as the stable chassis. This is referred to by Kelly Starrett as the 'one-joint rule'. #Biomechanics #SpinalHealth #InjuryPrevention

Fatigue is a neurological mechanism designed to govern performance. Research shows regular, targeted exercise optimizes the HPA axis and enhances mitochondrial signalling, fundamentally resetting the brain's governor for balancing endurance with the need for rest. #Gym

Fatigue may be brain's way of protecting the body, study finds
University of Brighton researchers claim fatigue is the brain's way of saying "slow down".

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the direct, useable chemical compound source of energy. It serves many purposes but for exercise it helps muscles contract and aids in protein synthesis. The body has four systems that coordinate to create ATP to fuel your exercises.

Government policy can address the supply of nutrient-poor food, but only a personal strategy to health can guarantee an outcome optimized for longevity: commitment to exercise, nutritional density, low inflammation. Health is an investment, not a coupon. www.ft.com/content/9256...
Supermarket BOGOF ban takes the biscuit — and that’s no bad thing

If muscles are not used on a regular basis they will become smaller and weaker (atrophy) and this will cause our body to have less restorative sleep. Sleep Medicine Review reports exercise is a treatment for improving sleep.

Learning to stabilize your core increases your body's ability to produce power from the arms and legs. A strong and stable core provides the arms and legs with a solid anchor to produce force and movement. Developing a strong core will enable you to experience better body control. #Biomechanics #Gym

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in our body. Stabilization of the SITS muscles (rotator cuff) is essential to glenohumeral (shoulder joint) stability. Exercises targeting external and internal rotation of the rotator cuff, as well as closed-chain exercises, is essential. #JointHealth

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is our body's energy currency. This molecule stores and transfers energy for muscle contraction. Can you produce more ATP? A 2016 study finds Cordyceps supplementation increases ATP production. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The deadlift is not just an exercise: it's a fundamental human function that builds systemic strength, stabilizes the posterior chain and is number one for preserving functional power and spinal integrity as you age. Only a professional can teach you the skills required to safely master it. #GymLife

If you're new to training you should always use a professional to oversee your use of machines. This ensures mastery of form, injury prevention (especially joint stress avoidance) and bypassing weeks of ineffective trial-and-error.

Did you know that polyphenols reduce inflammation and have anti-obesogenic effects? That's right, by simply making small changes to your diet, you can fend off infection and decrease body fat as evidenced by a 2023 study in Biomolecules. www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/14...

It's great to see major players in the food and beverage industry take steps to support regenerative agriculture. This will help deliver improved food nutrient density and overall less use of chemical pesticides. The quality of our food is at the heart of good health and longevity. t.co/UCArSrSSjN

If you are new to the gym, it's important to start with bodyweight exercises under professional guidance. Proper form at the start of your exercise journey is the key to long-term success. You can only learn this from a professional (smart mirrors can't replace real human insight). #HumanInsight

With so many supplements out there, it’s important to know the ones that work. Have you heard of ZMA? It stands for Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate, and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine). This supplement supports energy, sleep and protein synthesis, and Vitamin B6 helps your body absorb ZMA

Thinking of running a marathon next year? Researchers @lborouniversity.bsky.social have found that increasing the size of glutes and hip extensors generates more power and greater speed. If you want to crush that marathon, it's a good idea to consider professional training. tinyurl.com/studylink01
Buttock size matters: Researchers reveal a large gluteus maximus is key for sprint speed and performance after examining the anatomy of elite athletes
A Loughborough University study examining the muscle size of elite sprinters has revealed a large gluteus maximus (the muscle that forms the backside) is key to achieving top speeds on the track.

The roar of Niagara Falls isn't just a sound: it's a constant, powerful reminder of relentless energy. It's so powerful Canada and the USA use it to power their electric grids. Let that be your motivation. Find your own inner roar and use it to power through every workout.

A 2003 study by the University of Wisconsin shows that personal training is a proven method for increasing physical activity. Of the 129 test subjects who engaged with a personal trainer, 73% showed upward movement in the levels of change required to sustain exercise
