Protein: How Much to Eat and When?
Posted by Amanda Scott on
Research suggests that people who engage in strength training need higher levels of protein. But how much? The Recommended Daily Allowance for protein consumption is 0.36 grams per pound of body weight. However, studies have shown that this amount may need to be doubled for people who engage in vigorous exercising. At 0.72 grams per pound, a person weighing 120 pounds would want to consume 86 grams while a person weighing 180 pounds would want to consume 130 grams of protein. This additional protein will help support muscle recovery as well as growth. It’s also important to consume protein throughout...
How To Get a Great HIIT Workout with the AirBike
Posted by Amanda Scott on
The basis of high intensity interval training (HIIT) is to give high-intensity effort for quick bursts followed by short periods of rest. To get calorie-torching results on the AirBike, simply crank up the pace and push yourself for a 30-second sprint. Then cool down and pedal slowly for a 60-second recovery period before ramping up again for another intense sprint. Exercising at around 80% of your maximum heart rate during the high intensity phases will deliver the best results. The AirBike makes it easy to stay in this range by constantly measuring your heart’s beats per minute. A simple way...

Exercise-induced Growth Hormone (EIGH)
Posted by Amanda Scott on
What is EIGH? Human growth hormone or HGH is a synergistic agent that contributes to the support and development of lean body mass, muscle recovery and the reduction of the oxidative stress that causes premature aging. Exercise induced growth hormone EIGH creates a phenomenon called Synergy or “afterburn”. Synergy is the process in which this powerful hormone attacks body fat post exercise. Somatopause represents the decline of growth hormone production during aging, the two major dips occur; the first happens post puberty, the second and most significant occurs after age 30. This process involves body fat increases, diminished muscle tone,...
