Exercise Facts
Did you know....
Your Body doesn't start burning fat during exercise until 20 minutes after you've reached your target heart rate?
Pushing your heart rate beyond your target zone does not increase the amount of fat burned during exercise? In fact, if your heart rate is too high you are actually causing dangerous stress to your cardiovascular system, not increasing cardiovascular health.
The word "aerobic" means with oxygen?" Aerobic activities are those which use oxygen, such as running, swimming, or dancing. Anaerobic, on the other hand, means "without oxygen". Anaerobic exercises usually have the purpose of building muscular strength, and weightlifting is one of the most common anaerobic activities.
You should never stretch cold muscles. Stretching should be done after muscles have had a chance to warm up.
Your muscles actually "tear" during exercise. These microscopic "tears" then repair themselves, leaving your muscle stronger than before.
Muscle weighs more than fat. Don't be discouraged if you gain weight while working out. A low-fat diet ensures the added weight is lean body mass (muscle weight) rather than fat.
Regular exercise will not necessarily add "Bulk". Firming and toning can be accomplished with regular exercise and weight lifting. You won't end up looking like a body building competitor unless you want to.
Coping with arthritis by doing nothing can lead to muscular atrophy. Exercise can improve your range of motion, and ease pain.
It is important to prepare your body for exercise, and to replenish what your cells lose while you exercise. provides an energy source plus nutrients and electrolytes which increase exercise potential and optimize health benefits from exercise. The unique formula in ENRG works to provide sustained exercise benefits, including increased aerobic performance and muscle energy.
After Exercise
During the course of any muscle building exercise your muscles experience thousands of micro-tears. Those tears then repair by building excess muscle tissue on top of the tears. This process promotes stronger, more resilient muscles which are then better prepared for future exercise. Rebuild those muscles with POWR provides muscles with what they need for repair after exercise, while reducing cramps and soreness.
