What is 3:1?

When you start to grasp the idea of conscious eating with an active lifestyle you begin to have an attention to the details related. There is a good chance you have received mixed suggestions from your peers on a proper post-workout intake. Let’s simplify so that you can focus more on your next work out.

For recovery: 3 grams of carbohydrates (carbs), for every 1 gram of protein.

Studies have shown a 3:1 Carb-to-Protein ratio is optimal to restore your muscles. These benefits include greater endurance, superior hydration, increased exercise intensity, reduced muscle damage, muscle soreness, and faster recovery.

The best time to consume is the first 30 minutes after exercise to take advantage of the limited post-exercise “Recovery window”. When taken immediately after exercise, you give your body the nutritional tools for muscle repair, regeneration, and recovery coming back stronger for your next exercise session.

Our All-Natural 3:1 Recovery meets the requirements.

Hemp protein is gaining popularity to due its highly nutritious attributes. Hemp contains highly digestible globular proteins, albumin and edestin. The “globular structure” makes hemp protein quite soluble in water. Hemp protein is a “near complete” protein and is rich in forms of Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty acids.

Soy is an exception however, due to food allergies, some cannot use this form of protein. This poses a dilemma for vegans and vegetarians seeking to achieve adequate, vegetable-derived protein intake. For this reason we use Hemp, Pea, Brown Rice, and Flaxseed proteins.

Guess what’s loaded with hemp protein…

Check out our infomercial!

We’ll be the first to admit that it’s a bit old school. The graphics look like they’re straight out of the 90s and the narrator sounds like he should be hawking sham-wows®. But with all that aside, this infomercial is pretty remarkable. Look at Tony talk about his products. This isn’t scripted! He’s not an actor or paid endorser. He’s just someone who legitimately cares about nutrition. Check it out and let us know what you think!

We were trying to air this thing nationally, but check out Tony’s stats. The production team can’t keep up!

HALLOWEEN’S OVER, BUT DON’T GROW UP JUST YET!

Nolan — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:02:14 +0000

Don't let those school kids show you up!

When Halloween passes by you can’t help but remember what it was like when you were a kid- cool costumes, haunted houses, and of course candy! Well we say take that childhood nostalgia and bring it into the gym this week with a little jump rope. That’s right, this old playground activity can actually be great complement to your workout. If you’re a little rusty start with the simple technique first. That’s standing in one place and skipping over the rope every time it makes a pass under your feet. Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? Well try to say that after 30 seconds of continuous jumping- your heart will be pounding, you’ll be heaving like a racehorse and your shoulders will be on fire. That’s when you take a short break, and then do it again. Go ahead grown-up, show those kids what you’ve got!

Mike Napoli, Mr. Clutch, Making a Case for World Series MVP?

Rob — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:15:52 +0000

After a Game 5 clutch double with bases loaded in the 8th inning in a 2-2 game, Mike Napoli has certainly made a case for himself as a World Series MVP candidate. His .308 average with 9 RBIs, 2 HRs, 3BBs, clutch hitting, and not to mentioned his superb defensive play (threw Allen Craig out twice last night attempting to steal) has set him apart from the pack as one of the series heroes.

But the age old debate has been sparked, yet again, after LaRussa didn’t bring in a right-hander to face Napoli last night…should he have even been facing left-handed pitcher Rzepczynski? Napoli’s left/right splits this year weren’t all that wide, actually. But he did have a .619 slugging percentage and 1.049 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season — the fifth-best OPS against left-handers in the American League. So what Rzepczynski was doing in this game, trying to get him out in this spot, is a question that will hang over this entire series.

Nonetheless, Napoli came up big for the Rangers and brought his team within one game of a World Series title for the time in Rangers franchise history.

Game 6 tomorrow night in St. Louis at 8:05 pm EST. Colby Lewis (0-0 1.35 ERA) vs. Jaime Garcia (0-0 0.00 ERA)

What’s New With APS Athlete Cheryl Fairweather?

Rob — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 16:41:57 +0000

Many people have been asking, what’s been going on with Cheryl Fairweather and what has she been up to lately? So, we asked her! Here’s what she had to say:

In the Duathlon world

Long Beach Tri Duathlon 1st place overall female

City Triathlon 4th place overall Female

ITU Worlds AG 8th place but top 10 in the world finish so that makes it slightly better!

What’s planned next..

Well, a lot of discussion went into what I should do and what I would like to do and the should do was more sound and gathered way more support for what needs to even take place as an athlete.

Had a long talk with my Duathlon coach and well..We are reeving up again Nov. 1 to make Team USA again for the 2012 season. I have an automatic bid into Nationals simply because I made the team this year. But, the goal is to not get 8th! pushing and training to make the podium in France as a Representative of the USA Team.

I’ll be heavily racing this upcoming season to accomplish 3 things…

1. Make the Duathlon USA team again and podium in 2012

2. Race under USA cycling in Road Criterion’s/Circuits

3. Qualify for the USA Track and Field Trials and go from there lol

Breakaway cycling is a great group here in PA that will be helping me utilize my gift as a sprinter and translate that into cycling. So, through some discussion, I took up the challenge . Starting 2012 I will be a licensed Cat 4 cyclist( upgrading from there) with the USA. Which will benefit my racing as a duathlete. To qualify for 3 USA Nationals would be something this Multi-sports heart would be happy about! This was my 1st season as a competing Duathlete which many say I should be proud my accomplishments as a newbie..but I can’t help but hunger for more! So I’m totally looking forward to Season 2 and even a greater showing at Nationals and Worlds just based on the fact I’ll have more experience under my belt beyond just natural talents

As far as the LFL… I went to 2 great football rich colleges so the opportunity to play was a must do! And it was probably one of the funnest sports I ever played, but the risks of injury are so high and I can’t let this dream to make these teams that are so close and real pass me by

I’m fully dedicated to the Multi-sport world and I’m on the way to accomplish something great… I know it…just have to survive!!! lol
