IPL'S LETS GET FIT~FIT TIPS
BY: IPL
TRAINING TIP
Use Full Range of Motion
Many bodybuilders like to incorporate partial reps and limited range lifts into their routines. The problem with these techniques is that a lot of muscle goes unworked. To get the most from every rep, use full range of motion—but without resting between each rep. Full range of motion activates more muscle fibers. By using full range of motion, you also work your synergistic muscles (those muscles which assist or stabilize the muscle producing the primary
action).
--------------------------------
NUTRITION TIP
Because the human body cannot store much carbohydrate, it’s very important, especially for athletes, to regularly consume a diet high in complex carbohydrates to fuel the body. Many experiments indicate that carbohydrate is the body’s preferred fuel during exercise. More than 99% of the carbohydrate is used in the body to form adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is the fuel source used directly by the muscles to power contractions. ATP is not stored by the body so it must be constantly produced from the aerobic metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids (aerobic means “with oxygen”).
----------------------------------
SUPPLEMENTAL TIP
Taking in the proper amounts of calcium, whether from food sources or supplements, along with daily physical activity and weight bearing exercises, can help to maintain a healthy bone density, which is especially important for females. Be sure you are also getting enough vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium.

COOKING TIPS
Buy pre-made spice mixes instead of spending extra time to mix all your own spices together while cooking. You can find many different varieties, like Italian spices, Curry blends, Cajun seasoning, Jamaican Jerk seasoning and Mexican spice mix. Be sure to watch out for the amount of sodium in the mix!
STAY STRONG~~!!!
