The CrossFit Training Program

CROSSFIT is a fitness program that is sweeping the nation with new fitness routines that can shake things up and provide for a balanced attack on both your body and mind to help you grow.

CrossFit ia a core strength and conditioning program designed to elicit as broad an adaptational response as possible. It is not a specialized fitness program, but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in all ten areas of fitness: Endurance · Stamina · Strength · Power · Speed · Flexibility · Coordination · Agility · Balance · Accuracy

The CrossFit program draws from multiple training modalities such as gymnastics, olympic weightlifting, power lifting and more to provide constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movements at high intensity. To see some of the workouts go to the main site http://www.crossfit.com/

Not only is CrossFit the method of choice for our elite military units, LEO/First Responders, it is ideal for anyone who wants to enhance their quality of life, health, and sports performance.

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

The program is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Its specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The program uses the same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. It scales load and intensity; but doesn’t change programs.

Vitamin B Benefits

Vitamin B complex is a group of vitamins that includes thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B-6, folate, B-12, pantothenic acid, biotin and choline. Some of the benefits of vitamin B complex supplements include increased energy, improved or more stable moods, healthier skin, hair and eyes. The vitamins are important for proper nervous system and immune system function.

While many people think that vitamins are similar in structure and perform a similar function, the truth is that each vitamin B-complex vitamin has a unique chemical structure and serves a unique function within the body. While vitamins B1, B2, B3 and biotin serve to produce energy, vitamin B6 is essential for proper metabolism, and Vitamin B12 and folic acid play a lesser role in cell division. However, these vitamins also serve many other important functions.

B Vitamins Deficiency Diseases

A vitamin B deficiency can cause diseases like anemia, dermatitis, encephalitis, pellagra and beriberi. Vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 get a lot of attention because they support the nervous system, the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and the production of healthy blood cells.

Fat burners such as CLA, DHEA or the addition of coq10 into a vitamin B supplementation plan will maximize your body’s ability to metabolize incoming food. So rather than store calories, you can enhance your body’s natural “calorie burn rate”.

Benefits of Vitamin B Comlpex

Energy Production

Vitamin B1 is needed to help convert the carbohydrates we eat into glucose. The following B Vitamins are needed at a cellular level to convert glucose into energy - Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 and Biotin. A Vitamin B deficiency in any of these vitamins can lead to decreased energy production, lethargy and fatigue.

Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails

The Vitamin B Complex is essential for correct RNA and DNA synthesis and cell reproduction. As our Skin, Hair and Nails are constantly growing and renewing themselves we need the following B vitamins to ensure the good health of these structures - Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, Biotin and Choline. Deficiencies of any of these B Vitamins can lead to dry, grey skin, dermatitis, wrinkles, acne, rashes, falling hair and weak, splitting nails.

 

Mind and Mood

The body needs folic acid, B6 and B12 to manufacture neurotransmitters, chemicals that control alertness and mood by speeding nerve signals through the brain. Studies show some people who are seriously depressed or show signs of dementia have deficiencies of folic acid or B12. Correcting these deficiencies can ease the depression or improve concentration and memory. More important for the average person, even a mild lack of B vitamins may cloud the mind.

B3—also known as niacin, vitamin P, or vitamin PP—helps release energy from nutrients. It can reduce cholesterol and prevent and treat arteriosclerosis, among other benefits. Too little B3 can result in pellagra, a disease with symptoms that include sunburn, diarrhea, irritability, swollen tongue, and mental confusion. Too much B3 can result in liver damage. Food sources rich in niacin are chicken, salmon, tuna, liver, nuts, dried peas, enriched cereals, and dried beans. The RDA is 14-18 mg per day for adults.

If you want to lower your homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is an amino acid normally found in blood, but elevated levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease and stroke. In fact, a study from Norway shows that a combination of vitamin B6 and folate reduces homocysteine 32% within five weeks in healthy individuals. This has the potential to significantly lower the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Skin Care for Men :: Don’t Skimp!

Gone are the days when cosmetics and beauty products were found only for women. Men require more care as compared to women because men´s skin is more oils and prone to dehydration. The skin of men is also rich in collagen and elastin that makes the skin more resistant to the harmful effects of sun rays and other environmental factors. But with the age the skin becomes thin and the level of collagen decreases that tends to loose elasticity and firmness of the skin.

Today many men are moving towards fashion world giving way to improve their overall look. Earlier men had limited resources of facial touch up like shaving cream, soap, after shave and cream but now a host of skin care products for men are available in the market. The most widely used products are moisturizer, cleansers, face and body wash, scrubs, exfoliants and night renewal cream.

Skin care for men has become the latest trend and a serious issue especially in tropical country like India. People in India suffer the most because of the extreme climatic conditions and exposure to harmful ultra violet rays. These two are the major sources of skin damage. To avoid skin damage and prevent other skin ailments it is very essential to use sun screen lotions with an SPF factor of 15. Sun screen also prevents cancer and premature age.

More and more men are moving towards skin care professionals and dermatologist to reveal a complete new and outstanding look. These skin care professionals give skin care tips for men and a prescription of various lotions to apply. Some of the cosmetics are pure and natural and are free from preservatives and chemicals. These natural beauty products may be organic or inorganic. Organic beauty products comprises of pure, natural and organic materials that are both people and environment friendly. Some of the major ingredients include zinc oxide, walnut oil, beeswax, titanium dioxide, aloe vera, menthanol, whole wheat protein, caprlic, mica, lactic acid, eucalyptus oil, tocopherol, arnica and red vine extract. Organic skin care for men is the best solution to combat any skin damage like acne, scars, wrinkles, and aging.

Along with the application of natural organic cosmetic it is also essential to have a balanced diet for a glowing and youthful skin. Like women, men also require the right quantity of vitamins and minerals to enhance the resistant power of the skin and to avoid acne, wrinkles, aging, and other skin diseases. The most important vitamins required to have a great skin are Vitamin C and E, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin K and Vitamin E.

Fit Fuel Co-Founder Linked with Roger Clemens Steroid Scandal?

Today, the Fit Fuel offices have been getting absolutely hammered with phone calls and emails from panicking customers, suppliers, investors and business partners over the alleged involvement of Fit Fuel Co-Founder, Sean Kelly, in the Roger Clemens Steroid scandal. According to this article by ESPN - http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3280839&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines - the New York Times recently reported that Clemens may have received performance-enhancing drugs from a certain Shaun Kelley of the Shaun Kelley Weight Control center in Houston, TX. As many people know, Fit Fuel does business in Houston via its Fuel Zone healthy vending program. In addition, the company works with several nutritional manufacturers in the state of Texas for research and development purposes. Hence the confusion and worry over this recent headline story.

The Fit Fuel board would like everyone to know that this is sticky business and is something the Fit Fuel executive team is not taking lightly. Fit Fuel does not condone the use of illegal substances, never has, nor ever will.

While it is understood that Fit Fuel Co-Founder Sean Kelly has substantial contact with many professional athletes due to the nature of his involvement in the sports nutrition industry, he vehemently rejects the notion that he has ever provided any of his high-status athletic friends with illegal drugs or human growth hormone. “This is ridiculous,” exasperated Fit Fuel President Sean Kelly in a recent Health Pundits interview. “The only reason this is even a story is because of Fit Fuel’s involvement with the Clean Nutrition supplement called The Humanator. Even thought this sports supplement has serious HGH-boosting effects, it is not HGH. Let me make this clear: even though The Humanator works like HGH, it is NOT HGH.”

When asked about the similarity of his name, Sean Kelly, with that of the Houston Weight Control owner’s, Shaun Kelley, the Fit Fuel Exec remarked, “Pshs, are you kidding? Who spells ‘Kelly’ with an ‘e’. That’s not serious. Besides, if I had an alais, do you really think it would be ‘Shaun Kelley’?”

In defense of Sean, he does have a point. Only a total derelict would use an alias that was that bad.

So in summary, netiher Sean Kelly of Fit Fuel, nor any other Fit Fuel employee, has ever been involved with the absolute hawking of performance-enhancing illegal supplements. Fit Fuel sells high performance supplements, but they’re all legal. If you’re looking for legal hardcore muscle builders, check-out the following supps.

Yogitoes

If you’ve ever tried yoga (especially hot yoga, known as “Bikrams”), you know that you can work up a sweat fast which can turn your mat into a full-fledged slip and slide! Slipping on your mat makes it hard to perfect your yoga skills, and it is also extremely dangerous.

Fit Fuel has brought in a new yoga vendor, Yogitoes, that specializes in making SKIDLESS Yoga Towels. It’s actually not a mat at all, but a towel made of absorbable microfiber with nubs for traction. Just slip it over your yoga mat and you’re ready to go.

The Yogitoes Skidless Mat Towel works great as a travel accessory, too!

A must have for any yoga practitioner who goes hard enough to work up a sweat. And we hope you do.
