ZMA by Optimum Nutrition offer Zinc, Magnesium & Vitamin B6! Two recent clinical trials have shown that a synergistic combination of Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate, and Vitamin B6 can significantly increase anabolic hormone levels and muscle strength in well-trained athletes. The novel Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate formula may also help to increase endurance, healing, growth and restful sleep. Clinical studies show ZMA’s effectiveness for muscle strength and endurance ZMA Anabolic Mineral Support Formula contains only the most stable, readily available, easily absorbed chelated minerals. ZMA is a scientifically designed mineral-support formula that can dramatically increase natural levels of anabolic hormones and improve athletic performance. In fact, if taken as recommended, ZMA Anabolic Mineral Support Formula can increase free testosterone by 30% while boosting IGF-1 levels significantly. ZMA is a synergistic combination of Zinc and Magnesium designed to maximize absorption and promote recovery from exercise. Zinc plays a central role in the regulation of cellular growth and tissue repair, as well as the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Magnesium is essential for the maintenance of electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuromuscular function. Because physical activity can increase the need for these two minerals, ZMA is the ideal supplement to aid in their replenishment. If you’re an athlete, or you’re under a lot of stress, you probably need extra zinc and magnesium to perform at your best. And if you incorporate ZMA Anabolic Mineral Support Formula into your supplement program, odds are you’ll attain the same kinds of increases in testosterone and GH production that many athletes have already experienced.

Here’s the deal. I gained a lot of weight after graduating college last year because of a lot of stress and changes happening all at once (graduating, new job right out of school, moving away from my best friends, etc.) It took me several months before I gathered the energy, motivation, and time to start working out. Around April of this year, I started exercising regularly and lost about 15-20 pounds but had 2 family deaths within a month. After the first, I managed to keep up the regular exercise to get my mind off things but the second hit me really hard (my closest aunt and it was sudden). and I gradually just lost motivation. Long story short, I hadn’t done any regular exercise since mid July and finally got up the motivation to get going again today. Prior to stopping, I had really built up my endurance — I use an elliptical at home–my speed, resistance, and duration were all much better than where I had started. I was switching up the levels, speed, and time a lot so my body wouldn’t get too used to it. Well, I could barely go a half hour today at the resistance I’d left off at! I did push myself to go at least 30 minutes but it felt like I was brand new to exercise again.

Considering I’m actually NOT new to exercise, how quickly should I be able to build my endurance back up? I really need to lose the weight for my best friend’s wedding next July and know I have a long time to do it but at this point, it’s so hard to stay motivated for the long term when I couldn’t even make it half the time I was 3 months ago. I haven’t gained any weight, in that time but haven’t lost any either.

Just to give more details, I’m 23 and healthy (despite being overweight, obviously). I’m a pre-k teacher so my job isn’t sedentary by any means and generally have a good energy level when I get enough sleep. Something else I’m struggling with lol. I lose fairly consistently once I get into a routine but motivation is the big problem.

Any suggestions? I’m not looking for diet advice – I know more than enough about good nutrition and healthy eating and actually eat really well It’s just that I’ve always had the type of metabolism where I gain easily without regular exercise (lucky me!) Thanks in advance!

Hi Erin,

Firstly, becoming fit again is hard for anyone, even for athletes who have not done as much as they should have in the off-season.
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!

Secondly, being motivated IS about good nutrition because without good nutrition you will never stay motivated, since you will get tired-er and tired-er and eventually give up.

Thirdly, after reading your question, and I knew you should-be interested in maximizing your nutrition, [((-:] so even though I may not answer your question exactly as you may have wanted it answered, I thought I would take the time to pass on some pointers I have learned the hard way from my own bad ‘uninformed’ choices, so you could learn about good advice and bad advice about good nutritional choices.

Sooo, after having many bad health problems from listening to people who knew very little about the consequences of choosing LOW nutritional ’statistics,’ I really-really encourage you to learn from good nutritionists what to eat for a life time. [See below]

Lastly, if I have not helped you as much as you felt you needed, I am always impressed that there has sometimes been better advice than I have given from people helping others through Yahoo_Answers.

My best to you and to your future health,
A1

Source(s):

I have learned what I now know after my own lengthy research efforts to improve my health – after ‘FINALLY’ listening to unbiased researching nutritionists. I have shared extensively concerning the most critical nutritional statistics that are common to us all at: <> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap_lYDPwvxx8oDPWF1qoSd_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091005174358AAgZawf
<>

Also, after all my previous health problems due to following a-lot of bad advice, I can now understand the frustrations of other health researchers in the following quote within “The China Study” by T Colin Campbell pg 1: >>==>

“Even though information and opinions are plentiful, very few people truly know what they should be doing to improve their health.”

“This isn’t because the research hasn’t been done. It has. But the real science has been buried beneath a clutter of irrelevant or even harmful information – junk science, fad diets and food industry propaganda.”

“The China Study” by T Colin Campbell pg 1

Your diet has a dramatic effect on your penis size and how effective your penis enlargement efforts will ultimately be. This article will reveal the foods to try to get a larger penis size and the foods and lifestyle choices you are making that are making your penis smaller than it should be.

We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat”. This is in fact true for snorers and it is also particularly true for men trying to increase the size. Your diet and the foods you eat will have an influence on how effective your enlargement methods will be and also your sexual endurance and erection strength.

The key to enlargement lies in increasing the blood flow to the penis. If there are things in your lifestyle that restrict the blood flowing to your arteries, this will also impact on your male penis enlargement efforts.

The foods that are healthy for you are also the foods that will help you improve your size. Blood flow is critical to not just male penis enlargement but also to sexual endurance and impotence. If you have a poor unhealthy diet consisting of artery clogging foods, neither a pill or exercises are going to help you if you counterbalance all your hard work by continuing to clog your arteries.

Here’s A List Of Foods To Try To Increase Your Size Through Diet

If you love chips, hamburgers, ribs, and every fatty food imaginable then the foods I’m about to share with you are going to probably make you roll your eyes up to the ceiling.

Fish, wholewheat grains, lean meats, fruit, vegetables, unprocessed natural foods.

The best foods to avoid for enlargement are fatty deep fried foods, foods with little nutritional value (these are probably the ones that taste the best), white flour products, heavily processed foods, and sugary foods

If your diet is deficient then a mineral or multivitamin supplement can also help you.

If you smoke then you are constantly decreasing the blood flow to the area. For best results give cigarettes the flick.

It is possible to actually train the penis to let more blood flow through the penis with natural penis enlargement exercises and this increased blood flow will give larger and stronger erections.

One natural penis enlargement exercise is the jelq. This rhythmic, slow pulling exercise is said to enable more blood to flow through the penis. Of course, for effective results you must perform these natural penis enlargement exercises frequently and consistently.

One of the best ways to gain firm penis erections is by doing a penis exercise called the PC flex. To perform this penis exercise simply stop peeing before you’re finished. Now this exercise isn’t comfortable. You will feel a squeeze in that area.

A lot of men will happily try natural penis enlargement exercises as they have the time to put into regular penis enlargement exercises. Other men who don’t want to put time nor effort into their penis enlargement options will prefer to try other methods like plastic surgery for penis enlargement and penis enlargement pills.

I am a male 195 pounds and I want to find the balance of cardio, weight lifting, and nutrition in order to maintain mass while maintaining speed and endurance.

Okay…you want to eat protein obviously. Divide your meals up to at least 4 per day. Drink plenty of water (Tea or natural juices count here too…) Fresh fruits and veggies over fast food anytime…cut out a lot (not all) of the processed breads…

What I do is cycle my training without changing my diet too much…over an 8 week period I will do something like this…

2 weeks of Light lifting and cardio / flexibilty training
2 weeks of medium lifting and cardio / flexibilty training
2 weeks of heavy lifting and flexibilty training
2 weeks of medium lifting and cardio / flexibilty training

rest for a week doing fleixibilty training…then repeat…

I maintain my weight and bodyfat percentage while increasing my muscularity at a good slow pace…no stretch marks this way…

**** side note….my flexibilty training also includes my core training. The 2 weeks I go heavy I do not do cardio…

Fast twitch deals with explosiveness and speed while slow twitch deals with endurance. I would like to improve my 40 yd dash time. How can I do this? Nutrition? Workout Routine – reps?

The simplest way to improve fast twitch fibers is to train as sprinters or bodybuilders train for size. These athletes understand that these fibers are used for quick, high power movements. To develop them through weights, you should use heavy weights and low reps in quick and explosive full body movements. To develop quickness, short duration sprints especially should be practiced. Examples of great weight lifting exercises would be squats, straight leg deadlifts, leg presses, and HAMSTRING CURLS. As with any workout routine, a healthy clean diet is recommended with a good emphasis on getting enough complex carbs, protein, and good fats.

I’m a 20 year old woman,
150 pounds, 5 foot 7 inches.

My goal is to improve endurance and to lose 15 pounds.
The areas I would like to focus most on are my stomach, hips and thighs.

What should I do at the gym to achieve these goals?

Thank you.
Also, any nutrition advice would be appreciate as well.

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.
