Who are these amazing personal trainers that work with movie stars, professional athletes, musicians, and the rest of the rich and famous? Research into exactly how one becomes a celebrity personal trainer reveals that, like the rest of the personal training industry, no formal requirements exist to become one of these trainers to the stars who charge $300+ per hour. Most celebrity trainers simply happened to be in the right place at the right time.

An unknown trainer visited a chiropractor following a car accident. During the first few visits, he and the chiropractor hit it off and got to be buddies. The chiropractor happened to know some celebrities, and just by knowing him, this trainer got a gig working with a star. Fortunately for his new celebrity client, this particular trainer had a good knowledge base and great people skills. And there was something in it for the chiropractor, too, in that he got a cut for recommending this trainer to the celebrity.

Celebrity managers would help their star clients hugely if they used more caution when recommending personal trainers. As with any referral, a thorough background screening is in order before simply hiring a trainer on another celebrity’s recommendation. The endorsement by another famous person is often all it takes for an unqualified musclehead to get in the door.

Just Because They’re Famous Doesn’t Mean They’re Knowledgeable

Although you always want to hire the trainer with the best education, experience, and certifications, the people with the best qualifications are not necessarily those with the best marketing skills or the biggest mouths. However, just because someone is good at getting attention does NOT mean they know the first thing about training. In this unregulated field, people don’t have to be well-qualified to work in the industry. Anyone who is good at conveying confidence about their abilities as a trainer will succeed in the business, whether or not they can actually deliver on their promise.

A quick look at the training industry indicates that anyone who even smells like a celebrity now has a celebrity trainer. All the biggest stars – Britney Spears, P-Diddy, J-Lo, Oprah, Madonna, Tom Cruise – have personal trainers. And the trainers themselves are now riding their clients’ fame into their own spotlights. Two of the most celebrated personal trainers are Bob Green, who works with Oprah, and Gunter, trainer to many celebrities.

Many celebrity trainers are featured on news and entertainment programs, offering diet and nutrition advice. Turns out their biggest gift is their ability sell their products in front of a camera, because their advice is questionable, at best. Still, no one can argue with their ability to generate millions of dollars because of their proximity to the rich and famous. Sadly, though, they’re making a lot of that money by exploiting uneducated people, playing on their unrealistic desires to look like the next big-screen celebrity.

We’re Not All Going to Look Like Supermodels or Professional Athletes

Say you’re in the best shape of your life, but you still don’t look like your idealized image of the perfect man or woman. That’s just reality, folks. Not everyone is going to look like Pamela Anderson or Brad Pitt, regardless of how hard they work. Genetics play a big role in our looks, not to mention the cosmetic enhancements, air brushing, and camera tricks. Being healthy and fit doesn’t mean you will never have a little fat on your body. Looking great and feeling great without using drugs, cosmetics, and surgery will make you happier than any amount of fame ever will. Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!

Before you decide you want to look like a covergirl or a superjock, you must be comfortable with yourself exactly as you are. You are going to feel better as you lose weight and build muscle, but the you inside will still be the same. Your shapely new build may inspire confidence, but the raw materials of your personality will remain exactly the same. Are you fundamentally happy with your life and who you are now – or are you waiting for external improvements to make you feel better? They won’t, because they can’t. Just as the roots of a plant determine the quality of its fruit, the invisible, internal stuff determines your happiness in life.

The Results of Quick-Fix Shape-Up Programs Never Last

It’s often scary to hear celebrities and their personal trainers promoting new diets and/or nutritional products. If these alleged “professionals” don’t really know how the body functions (and far too many of them don’t), it’s no wonder our nation just keeps getting fatter. Two significant problems exist with quick-fix training and nutrition programs. First, these extreme exercise/diet regimens that quickly get stars in great shape are terrible for the body. Yet many celebrities follow them because they know their jobs could be on the line. Secondly, regular people who try to follow the celebrities’ exercise/diet programs often wind up failing because they cannot keep up the extreme regimens and because the programs are impossible to sustain for any length of time.

Remaining super-lean all year is challenging, especially if you used a program that slimmed you down in just 8 to 12 weeks, like a bodybuilder’s exercise/diet regimen. This process can get you looking phenomenal for a day or two, but the effects won’t last much beyond that because our bodies simply cannot function at that level for any sustained period. However, you can achieve these results and stay super-lean year-round with a lifestyle change that incorporates healthy meals and regular exercise. A quality program can burn fat, as opposed to primarily building muscle, unlike the regimens the stars often follow with their celebrity trainers.

Short-term training programs to get in shape for a one- or two-day event (like a bodybuilding contest) do work, but because they proceed at an unnaturally rapid pace, they cannot be sustained for any real length of time without seriously harming your body. However, many celebrity training programs utilize this quick-fix process because so few personal trainers really understand anatomy and human kinetics, the physical sciences related to human body function. Well-educated trainers exist – they just happen to be unfortunately rare. Few trainers have degrees or quality certifications, let alone do they continue their education or expand their knowledge about human function and performance. In this unregulated industry, no one is checking to see if personal trainers are pursuing any education updates – and most of them are not.

This does not mean you should not hire a personal trainer. Hell, even personal trainers with very little training about how to create a quality exercise or nutrition program can still provide an environment where you can get fit. They also can motivate you to achieve better health and make much quicker progress than you would likely ever achieve on your own. Almost any personal trainer is better than no personal trainer. Almost.

What is Whey Protein?

Whey protein is a term used to describe a group of proteins that can be separated from whey. When cow’s milk is used to manufacture cheese, it also leads to the production of whey, which may or may not be discarded. It is a mixture of lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin and serum albumin.

Similar to protein found in egg white, whey protein can also be irreversibly changed by heat. When made part of the pasteurization process, it becomes less bio-active. If not, whey protein naturally becomes bio-active which basically means it contains a high concentration of cysteine and consequently glutathione, an antioxidant that provides detoxification of our cells and is essential to maintenance of our health.

Bio-active whey protein is the active source of protein that resists the heat degeneration and retains its basic nutritional value.

What Makes It Good for the Body
Because whey protein contains an large amount of essential and non-essential amino acids, it has a high nutritional value. However, the most amazing aspect of whey protein is its effect on the human mind. It has been shown is studies that whey protein satisfies our appetite for longer periods of time when compared to other types of proteins. Hmmmm, interesting…..so that means if we eat the same amount of calories two days in a row, one consisting of whey protein and the other consisting of different protein then we won’t be hungry the day we eat the whey protein. Yes, that is interesting…..isn’t it?

Why Pregnant Mothers Love Whey Protein
A number of OB-GYN doctors have advised their gravid patients to increase their intake of whey protein because it will provide the basic amount of amino acids needed by the growing infants. An increased intake of whey protein will naturally improve and speed up the development of the baby. Also, increased intake of whey protein will indirectly improve the immune system of the baby. In its growing stages, it is highly vulnerable to different types of illnesses. With the help of whey protein, the infant will grow faster and better and be more equipped to defend itself against any health complication.

Whey Protein for Bodybuilding Enthusiasts
For bodybuilders, muscle growth is everything and that’s why they love whey protein so much. Studies have satisfactorily proven that whey protein can lead to acceleration of muscle development. This is welcomed news especially for bodybuilders who are only a few weeks away from the date of competition but is still in high need of muscle growth.

How it Helps Athletes Busy Recovering from Old Injuries
In this case, whey protein saves the day once more because it can be used to supplement diets of individuals who are suffering from compromised immune systems. In general , it helps athletes and non-athletes alike heal faster.

A Weapon against Degenerative Diseases
Although you can’t truly say that any disease is less painful than the other if both have life-altering consequences, it is an inarguable fact that degenerative diseases are devastating health problems. These illnesses tend to subject people to a protracted form of suffering and with symptoms with increasing levels of severity. They commonly affect three systems in particular: the nervous system, the muscular system and the skeletal system.

Although rarely curable, degenerative diseases can be treated through chemotherapy, surgical operations and the proper diet. Whey protein is often a part of this diet because of its rehabilitative benefits especially when it comes to muscle growth. Cancer, diabetes and AIDS have symptoms that causes muscle strength and growth to deteriorate. This means all muscle, not just those cool looking biceps, but the muscles it takes to swallow, and for food to move along the digestive tract, an undesirable effect that can be combated with increased intake of whey protein.

In general, if you are working out without whey protein in your nutrition plan, you are missing out!

Not even in it’s effect on bodybuilding but as a sleep aid. I currently have melatonin from Optimum Nutrition, because it was $1.50 for 100 capsules. It’s really not that great. I do have more dreams and they are more vivid but it doesn’t kick in when I need it to and it doesn’t really make me tired or sleepy when I take it.Just a little bit of new information today for all those internet marketers looking for the best new up and coming release for 2010. Be on the lookout of Niche Blueprint 2 coming on January 11, it is going to be huge and change the ecommerce marketplace.

Either take more melatonin (I’ve seen people take up to 12mg a day, but 5mg is plenty for most people) OR take some benadryl.

www.StrongerNutrition.com is the cheapest for most brands on the web. Great customer service, fast shipping, and cheap prices. I have been buying my supplements here for about two years now, and I can assure u that StrongerNutrition.com has the cheapest prices…I have noticed that they are from $5 – $20 less than BodyBuilding.com and other competitors.

Soy protein is emerging as one of the great alternative protein sources for human consumption. Health experts are all excited about how soy protein can change the face of nutrition. What’s all the rage? Here are some great reasons to get with soy protein.

Soy Protein is Plant Protein

Soy beans contain complete protein and have one of the best protein digestibilities among all protein sources. Soy beans also contain little or no fat and have virtually no cholesterol. Lactose intolerant ones will be pleased to know that soy beans contain no lactose.

Being a plant protein, soy is free from steroids and antibiotics animal protein contains. It is also free from the parasites that contaminate some of these products. They also contain none of the diseases one can contract from mean sources such as Mad Cow Disease, and Foot and Mouth Disease.

Vegetarians love this bean as it provides a comparable – if not better – source of protein as compared to its animal counterpart. It provides a protein that is better and easier to digest and is comparable to most protein supplements.

Soy Beans are Very Versatile

Soy beans are very versatile. Various cuisines, especially Asian ones recognize the value of the humble soy bean. A variety of naturally yummy delicacies are all soy based: tofu, soy pudding, Soya milk, and meat substitutes – not to mention condiments such as soy sauce, and hoi sin sauce.

To counter the problem of world hunger, the growing of soybeans has been suggested. Not only are soybeans easy to grow and harvest, they will grow pretty much anywhere and produces much in a little time. There have been farmers reported to have replaced their entire crop line with soy bean plants. These hardy little plants produce much per harvest, and, as said earlier, can grow in even the most trying terrain.

The Great Substitute

Soy is low in fat and can be used to substitute most protein sources. When cooking, you may use soy substitutes instead of flour for a low fat alternative. This makes it a great protein source for those that are looking to lose weight without compromising their protein requirements.

Bodybuilders are considering how this can make their jobs a lot easier. Without the fat and with all the protein goodness – easily digestible at that – bodybuilding has just received a great blessing of a food.

Although these bodybuilders are currently debating how soy can be a help to bodybuilders, it doesn’t take away anything from what soy can contribute to the overall health of a person.

It is very advisable to stick to natural protein rather than processes protein if possible, as processed foods typically have some risk attached to them. The best use of this food can be attributed to how it perfectly fits into anyone’s low-fat, high-protein diet.

Soy products can be incorporated into shakes and drinks. And being lactose-free, lactose intolerant people will still be able to get their milkshake fix without having to suffer so.

Soy products are also a great source of other nutrients such as saponins, isoflavones, and phytosterol. Saponins help support a healthy immune system. It also combines with cholesterol to avoid increased absorption of cholesterol in the body. Phytosterols also help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body in the same way saponins do.

Isoflavones are powerful antioxidants and prevent the effects of free radicals in the body. They prevent many of the signs of aging and have been known to help prevent cancer. This alone makes soy a miracle protein source in its own right.

Isoflavones, along with vitamins A,C, and E are among the front liners in the fight against such disease – they also counter the effects of pollution, and stress.

How Much is Too Much

Unlike other protein sources, it is pretty safe to consume a wide amount of soy products. While allergies to soy products exist, cases are few and far between. When changing to a soy diet, however, it would be best to consult your physician or your nutritionist. Ask specifically if the soy interferes with any prescription drugs you are taking.

Soy can be great blessing for people who are looking for a great source of protein that does not entail the side effects of most of the other sources. It would be advisable for one to explore how it can improve one’s diet.

In bodybuilding, bulking up means gradually increasing body weight to match a weight division professionally, or simply to acquire a heftier physique. Professional bodybuilders often bulk up during the last few months before competition, especially those who are competing in the higher weight divisions. In professional bodybuilding, bulking up is achieved by increasing carbohydrates and protein intake. There are some debates surrounding the efficacy of bulking up in the last months before competition, though many bodybuilders continue to do so as part of their training regimen.

Concepts in general nutrition

Bulking up is done by increasing the intake of specific macronutrients. What are macronutrients? Nutrients are divided into two classes:

macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are well known nutrients that generally make up the bulk of what we consume on a daily basis.

Macronutrients include:

• Carbohydrates
• Protein
• Water
• Oils & fats

Water is considered a macronutrient because it provides the following to the bodybuilder:

• Internal regulation of the temperature of the body

• Lubrication of the digestive system

• Aids in digestion, absorption and distribution of nutrients throughout the human body

For beginning body builders, fats & oils are eliminated to bring down the fat and lean body mass ratio. The ideal percentage for males is twenty five percent. Often, males who lead sedentary lifestyles have more than forty percent of body fat as opposed to their lean body mass.

Total athletes or those that are “born athletes” have between five to ten percent body fat. The rest is lean body mass- achieved through a discipline physical regimen and specialized diet.

How to bulk up

One of the first things that you have to do if you want to increase your bulk as a bodybuilder would be to increase your intake of protein. How does one increase the intake of protein proportionately? To obtain the maximum benefits of bulking up, simply multiply your total weight in pounds by 1.5. 1.5 represents 1.5 grams of protein from lean meat or vegetable sources.

Let’s say Johnny Stone weighs four hundred pounds and he wants to bulk up to look even heftier than he already is in the upcoming local bodybuilding competition. Four hundred pounds multiplied by one point five is equal to six hundred. So six hundred grams of protein is the requirement for Johnny Stone.

If you think this figure is quite high, and you would probably have problems digesting this large quantity of protein in one sitting, then what you can do is to split the requirement by eating numerous small meals a day. Choose your protein source, estimate the average yield per portion, and start on that new protein requirement today.

Bulking up means removing excess oils from your body. You can help your body naturally by consuming more fiber. A note of warning though, when you attempt to increase both protein and fiber at the same time. Fiber (especially those that come in powder form that are mixed with water) can coat the stomach, making you feel fuller. Avoid products that have this effect because they would reduce your capacity to consume protein.
