How to benefit from Zone 2 training

Today we're talking about Zone 2 training. Zone 2 training is exercising at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. For example, if you are 50 years old, you would subtract 50 from 220 to get a maximum heart rate of 170 beats per minute with 60-70% being 102-119 beats per minute. Benefits of Zone 2 training: 1. Increases aerobic capacity 2. Increases fat metabolism 3. Enhances recovery 4. Builds endurance 5. Improves insulin sensitivity Aim for 2 45 min Zone 2 training sessions per week. Some Zone 2 activities to consider are: walking, swimming, and cycling. ------------------- Start living your fittest life!

Why Does Whey Protein Isolate Get So Much Attention?

The main difference between whey concentrate and isolate is the processing. Whey protein isolate undergoes more processing in order to isolate the protein from whey. The processing to isolate the protein component of whey, clears out a lot of lactose, fats, immunoglobulins, vitamins and minerals. This is why a 20 gram serving of whey protein isolate will contain around 18 grams of protein, whereas a 20 gram serving of whey protein concentrate will contain on average about 16.5-17 grams of protein. The flavor profile of whey protein isolate is also more easily manipulated via removal of the other components of whey, making it much more amenable to use in processed foods. Whey protein isolate by itself will be less flavorful. The more processing that occurs with any food, the greater the loss of its inherent nutrients. Often words like protein are thrown around, like protein is protein and it is all the same, just hit your gram levels. But just like 20 grams of protein from black beans is not going to have the same benefit as 20 grams of protein from beef, so too, when it comes to whey protein isolate as compared to whey protein concentrate. ------------------- Start living your fittest life!

Inside the Routine of a Correction Officer turned CrossFit Master's Athlete | Interview with Dennis McTaggart

From going to bed at 7:30pm to getting up at 4:00am, Dennis has had his sleep routine on lockdown for the last 30 years, but his fitness and eating habits were lacking. When fitness becomes a part of your daily routine, your quality of life drastically improves. Fifteen years ago Dennis did HIIT style workouts and ran his fair share of half marathons to maintain his job as a correction's officer, but he wasn't living a healthy lifestyle. As he says, going to work, coming home, sitting and eating whatever you want, is not living life to the fullest. At 60yrs old, he is fitter than ever and setting the standard for 60 yr olds everywhere. After a few key dietary changes, Dennis noticed a decrease in body fat and the ability to push through tough workouts. While making the CF Games is on his bucket list, his biggest motivation are his 5 children and 7 grandchildren and being able to enjoy life to the fullest with them. ------------------- Start living your fittest life!
