Pre/During/Post Stack

By: Natalie Freed & Shane Post

A few months ago, MuscleBasix sent a Workout Stack to Supplement Central for us to try out firsthand. I recently sat down with Shane Post to see how the stack affected his workout:

The pre-workout drink, CreaSyn, delivers creatine, carnosyn, and beta alanine without any of the bloating that is sometimes associated with creatine supplements. Shane used a normal serving of CreaSyn before his heading to the gym. During his workouts, he drank the BasixBCAA, which is formulated with the proven 2:1:1 Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine ratio. Recoverade is the last step of the MuscleBasix Stack. Shane drank a serving immediately after his workouts, and didn’t think he felt as sore and fatigued the next day. Recoverade replenishes glycogen, aminos, and electrolytes to rehydrate your body and rebuild those muscles!

Shane reported that all three parts of the stack tasted really good, but his favorite flavor was the Blue Raspberry. The powders mix into water easily – definitely not the kind of pre-workout drink you have to choke down in clumps of weird-tasting fruit flavors. As far as digestibility, Shane said that nothing bothered his stomach – a perk of a simple and effective product.

Overall, these workout supplements are not meant to be the kind that jacks you up for a crazy workout, making you dizzy and sweaty before you start the first set. Those supplements tend to end with a crash and a giant headache, right? The effects of the MuscleBasix Workout Stack don’t hit you like a freight train. Instead, they’re more subtle. Even though the stack isn’t packed with stimulants, the effect Shane noticed the most was the improved muscle resiliency – when you don’t feel as sore after a workout, you start the next one feeling that much better! All of the carefully selected ingredients are there to help you have the best workouts possible – no crash, no headache, less muscle fatigue, and faster workout recovery.

We think MuscleBasix products are great for people who only want the important ingredients in a supplement – without a laundry list of ingredients and proprietary blends. Each part of the stack has a specific use (pre-, intra-, and post-workout) and relies on the simplicity of a few clinically-tested ingredients.

If you’ve had enough of the gimmicky, new workout supplements that aren’t backed with clinical proof, give MuscleBasix a try! Get more information on this product here.

We are creatures of HABIT - Take advantage of your greatest gift!

Using Sweet Wheat as an energy boost can often leave you with excess energy to burn. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of your bodies ability to start a new venture and make it a habit. They say it takes about 28-30 days for something to become habit forming. Being disciplined with taking Sweet Wheat was a small hurdle, now use the extra energy to conquer another goal, exercising!

Try exercising at the same time every day and see how easy it becomes to stick to it!

A healthy body is the result of proper nutrition combined with regular physical exercise. Exercise improves the tone and quality of muscle tissue and stimulates the processes of digestion, absorption, metabolism and elimination. Exercise imparts vigor and sends oxygen to all organs. It secures and maintains healthful integrity of all their functions. Our bodies are designed to bend and stretch and move each joint on a daily

basis. The sedentary life of modern people is not conducive to the best of health. Walking is the preparation for more aerobic, strength building and flexibility workouts. Walking is the exercise we were meant to do before all others. You have to walk before you can run! The body uses approximately the same amount of calories walking a mile as running a mile. Running a mile burns more carbohydrates where walking the mile actually burns more fat. Exercise can keep your body limber, supple and youthful.

Focus your mind and find spiritual calm while doing your body some good.

Exercising develops brain pathways or synapses which are electrical connections in the brain that wire the brain together. Every new exercise you do develops millions of new synapses. These become stronger the more you exercise. Some believe that forming these synapses awakens abilities in all areas of your life. For instance kids who walk on pavement do not develop the same kind of complex nerve pathways as those who grow up navigating the uneven terrain in nature. Running backwards and sideways in nature develop precision and technical skills that can be used in other life areas.

No matter what your goal is; whether you want to gain flexibility, strength, burn toxins, burn fat, have adventures, exercise should be integrated into your daily routine. We should not forget we are mobile creatures and are meant to be in motion. A sedentary body produces illness by the mere fact of fluids becoming immobile. Long walks can develop poise, grace and symmetry of the body, help to correct injuries and stimulate the mind. Improved transfer of oxygen to cells and increased circulation of the blood and lymph systems are the reward. You do not have to use weights or heavy workout equipment to attain a fit body. Isometric exercises done slowly with intention can be integrated into anyone’s routine and show quick results.

To condition all parts of the body, practice cross training. A different work out different days of the week can be helpful in keeping things fresh and interesting. Listen to different kinds of music each day. By doing repetition exercises like sit-ups or pushups, squats, you will build muscle and tone. Aerobic exercises, speed walking, walking uphill, running, swimming, exercise your heart muscle, gets the circulation and lymphatic system moving, expels toxins, tones muscles and trims fat. When you do adventure workouts, you are taking workouts to a whole new level. You are getting to know your limits and abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Obviously adequate training is necessary to do these sports.

Taking a nutrient dense food like Sweet Wheat before and after your exercise routine can help with stamina and duration as well as recovery. Whether its long walks on the beach or your favorite park, it is the beginning of a great cycle of health. Have fun with your new exercising routine!

Sexuality and Vitality need not be Passing Pleasures of Youth!

Emerging research is beginning to reveal testosterone support to be one of the most promising therapies available to women. While there are several factors that are important in this endeavor, nutritional supplements can make a considerable impact on a person’s quality of life.  It is important to remember that taking supplements or pills, whether prescribed or not, will not make up for poor dietary and lifestyle habits.   So choose your supplements wisely and explore the benefits of consulting with a qualified healthcare professional about which supplements are right for you.

Our culture lauds this substance’s leading role in male virility and casts it as the villain in acts of violent crime. In truth, testosterone is neither miracle nor monster, but rather, a key player in the complex chemistry of human hormones. When balanced by other hormones, testosterone, also known as androgen, plays a lead role in the health and well-being of both sexes.

Testosterone Fuels a Woman’s Desire
Just as men’s bodies manufacture small amounts of estrogen; women’s bodies produce testosterone through the ovaries and adrenal glands. A multitalented hormone, testosterone boosts both libido and energy, maintains muscle mass, strengthens bone and ensures the nipples and clitoris are sensitive to sexual pleasure.

As women age, their bodies produce less androgen(testosterone), estrogen and progesterone. By age 40, women produce about half the testosterone they did in their twenties. These levels drop further still with the onset of menopause or for women who have had their ovaries removed. Many clinicians believe that the diminished energy, decreased sexual desire and “flatness” of mood that some women experience during and after menopause are directly related to declining levels of testosterone. Testosterone also helps prevent bone loss, improves body composition (building lean mass and reducing body fat) and supports cognitive function.

Clinicians such as Dr. William Regelson, M.D., author of “The Superhormone Promise,” argue that testosterone is the missing link in hormone replacement therapy. “For many women who feel they are not quite themselves,” he says, “the ingredient missing from the blueprint is testosterone.” Products like Restart-21 support a natural increase in testosterone production without taking synthetic testosterone in pill form that may result in the unwanted side effects such as facial hair, acne, decreased HDL (the “good cholesterol”) or liver toxicity.

Eat a well-balanced diet to stabilize your hormones
Fiber and foods rich in minerals, such as potassium and magnesium can help balance hormones. Tofu, tempeh and other soy products are excellent sources of phytoestrogens, plant compounds that behave like mild estrogens in the body, helping relieve menopausal symptoms. Other sources of phytoestrogens include apples, alfalfa, cherries, potatoes, rice, wheat and yams. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables will also help maintain optimal health as you transition into menopause.
