I got my new Addidas Superstar


I got another pair of superstar. It took me a while before I found a pair in my size. When I tried them I was so impressed with just how comfortable they are, and they looked great with jeans & casual clothes. I use them for tennis as well as basketball and they worked great for both. They give me great ankle support and are good for quick movements. Not to mention they look great with athletic clothes as well as jeans.

Protein Supplements

Why buy protein supplements if you can get enough protein from the food you eat, you ask. The answer lies in bio-availability, or the actual absorption of proteins by the body upon ingestion.
Immediately after an intensive workout, muscles are damaged and need to be repaired During this brief period, the muscle are especially receptive to nutrient and the blood flow to the exercised muscle is high. Supplements like fast acting whey protein shakes are quickly absorbed and digested, allowing protein to reach the muscles in the time for better recovery and muscle growth.
Eating a high protein meal immediately after workout won't yield the same muscle growth because protein from food needs to be broken down first into different amino acids, then reassembled again to form the necessary protein required for muscle repair. This process takes long, longer than the period when the muscle are receptive to supply protein

is it true I'll lose more weight if I drink Coffee?

The caffeine in coffee is linked to adiponectin levels, which enhances your insulin sensitivity and your sugat tolerance, helping your body manage sugars better. Researchers also found that eating carbohydrates and caffeine together use up more fat during exercise that just eating carbs to refuel.
-Nice info isnt? :)
