...thought to yourself, “How does or how can I apply this to me?” Well I have and I am on a journey to push my limits and achieve more in personal strength and my athletic abilities. All my life, I grew up playing sports. My fondest memories were those long hours spent in the gym practicing my pull-up jumper in basketball or those sweat and tears left behind on the school track. I live for competition and know that health and nutrition in bodybuilding is vital. To be a winner, one must be the fastest, strongest, and most trained. Our bodies are our engines, and we must put the correct fuel in them to keep them going to work at their full potential. The three well-known, tested workout meal plans that I have researched are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, P90X, and Johnny Ahl’s plan. This paper seeks to explore what each bodybuilding meal plan entails and how these popular plans compare and contrast. I will begin with the history of bodybuilding and nutrition; then I will break down each meal plan one by one and compare the plans. The goal of this research will be to find out what it requires to gain lean muscle mass for strength and performance in sports. In fact the website, www.bodybuilding.com has 162 articles on how bodybuilding can improve sport performance in many different sports. Giving clear studies and research on how muscle strength and training play a significant role in the performance of the athlete. This research will provide guidance for all male bodybuilders and athletes between...

...P90X Sometimes for people to lose weight, going to the gym just doesn’t help. Others that have gone to gym and constantly did the same workouts, didn’t seem to see any new results. This is why elite trainer Tony Horton created P90X. Horton spent over 20 years in becoming an expert in various areas of fitness. Many call him the “Master of Motivation”, and others that are moved by him include movie stars, professional athletes, and normal people who want amazing bodies. Due to his vast knowledge and skills developed in this concept, he created the number one best-selling home fitness program. P90X is a 90-day home fitness system which is designed to get you in shape. The program includes 12 intense workouts that use resistance and body-weight training, cardio, plyometric, ab work, martial arts and yoga, along with a nutrition plan, fitness guide and workout calendar. The real secret behind P90X is the muscle confusion. The program uses target training phases to allow the body to keep adapting and growing on the workouts. There is a “plateau” that happens whenever a person keeps on doing the same workouts which the body already adapted to and that causes the body not to show any new results. Unlike the same old workout machines used at the gym, the P90X will keep your guessing and it won’t let your body get used to the workouts. When the muscle confusion occurs, your body won’t slow down or stop showing improvements. Some of the workouts in the program include short training...

...Personalized Nutrition 1 Personalized Nutrition and Exercise Plan Personalized Nutrition 2 Introduction Obesity has been a health problem in my family for generations. My great grandparents died before I ever had a chance to personally meet them but the pictures I have seen indicate that they both were obese. According to the WebMD body mass index for adults, my mother, her two brothers (my uncles), and her sister (my aunt), are all extremely overweight and considered obese in regards to their age, height and weight. My father left my mother when I was very young so I am unaware of any health or nutrition problems that concern me in regards to my father’s family history. My grandmother died of Coronary heart disease, which is an obesity related medical condition that develops when a combination of fatty material, calcium, and plaque builds up in the arteries that supply the heart with blood. My mother and my aunt both have constant lower back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. They both have had wrist and back surgery in order to relieve the pain/ fix the problem, but the doctor told them that their weight was the main issue. My uncles complain that their knees and back bother them all the time, and even though I am not a doctor, I know it is because they both weigh around 300 pounds.

...Unit 6: Assignment Kaplan University Brand Extension Marketing Plan Project 1.0 Executive Summary Beachbody was created in 1998 by John Congdon and Carl Daikeler. Beachbody produces, markets and sells its home-based fitness and nutrition products through infomercials and its Team Beachbody coaches. While Beachbody offers hundreds of fitness and nutrition products, they didn't have a product that helps underweight people put on weight. Beachbody will roll out a product called Mass Morph as a line extension to their Body Beast line. Body Beast already has a comprehensive line of supplements and a meal plan, but these do not currently contain a weight gainer. The product is a weight gainer that will cater to those looking to gain muscle. One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories, so adding an additional 500 calories per day to ones diet can help them add a pound of muscle per week. Weight gainers help achieve this by supplementing their current diet with high concentrations of protein, carbohydrates and fat. This product will only contain high-quality ingredients instead of fillers and lots of sugar and additives. This is beneficial to the consumer because if a weight gainer contains these fillers, additives and loads of sugar, the weight they gain will be fat instead of muscle. Mass Morph will be marketed domestically first, because there are a lot of regulations on getting supplements approved globally. Beachbody gets its ingredients from all over the world—often from...

...Team 1 : Product Development Work Plan Smart Technology: Fitness Apparel [pic] Karene Brown Phillip Bryant Adran Reid Derek Terrell Danyelle Thomas Teri Wiltcher Executive Summary Acquity Consulting Group set out to assist our client, Athos Technology, with increasing their market share in the fitness industry. Athos Technology has developed wearable smart clothing with the distinct ability to measure muscle activity through the use of EMG sensors embedded in the clothing. The company currently offers a limited number of items in its men’s and women’s lines. Through analysis of the fitness apparel and wearable technology markets, we found that there was a clear void in the market that Athos would be uniquely positioned to fill. We found that the wearable technology market is on the rise, with profits expected to reach over $11bn by 2020. Taking a closer look at what drove sales in the fitness apparel industry, we concluded that our client could see increased sales if they introduced a line of full-length compression smart pants. Additionally, given the role that the fusion of fashion and function has played in the growth of the fitness apparel market, we recommended that our client pay particularly attention to the design of the leggings for both male and female consumers. Interviews and surveys were conducted to ascertain an appropriate price point for this product and it was determined that Athos should price the leggings at $175...

...So, it all seemingly started when, I reached out to a coach from Beachbody, because I just was not having the success I needed with my health and I needed accountability and something different. She’s great, and i just know God had put this in motion, because of all the coaches beachbody online could have sent me I got Mandie, shes located not too far from Indy and it just gives me a sense of connection with her, and shes a Christian and that really helps to share the same life motivations, and other things to, in general were a good match. So I now have her help to get my health and fitness on track, and I decided to become a coach myself, because I know I can do what she does and I’d really enjoy it. I mean id do it for free, but why not get paid for it too. and ive made a few other friends through beachbody too, and its really helping my personal growth, and that is actually what inspired me to share with you today, my person growth journey, because I’m excited about it, and would nt mind some accountability with it and hope possibly might inspire you with something I share. My transformation story: I’ll try to be brief, lol. I was always active growing up, played soccer and softball since I was 7 and never worried about being in shape or healthy because I was for the most part. I went to college and was not very active any longer and ate as much and whatever I wanted. I usually had Taco Bell or Noble Romans bread stix for dinner. I don’t know how much I weighed but...

...Grading Two Variable Proposal Grading Two Variable Proposal The topic that is current and interest me the most is the growing shift towards personal health and weight control. I choose this topic because I think that there are two very large variables at play when it comes to reaching the outcome of losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle. There is always a new trendy workouts to try like P90X, or T25. Or a person could subscribe to their local gym. After they determine the goal of what they want to look like and weigh, the first variable presents itself. To me the first variable to reaching the end result of achieving a healthier lifestyle and losing weight is what is the most effective method of physical activity that will promote weight loss? As mentioned before there are a lot of different types of things that a person could do in order to achieve their personal goal therefore they would have to identify which method will work best for their lifestyle. The second variable that plays an even larger role than the first variable is what type of diet to go on. Similar to the first variable, there are hundreds of different types of diets that claim that they can produce the results that a person is looking for. This variable is important in helping achieve a healthier lifestyle because proper nutrition gives the body the fuel that will promote healthier living. I believe these two variables have a relationship because you need to both parts in order to achieve...

...Eating a well-balanced and nutrition-rich meal on a daily basis is just as important as maintaining the proper body weight and maintaining the proper personal care and hygiene on a daily basis. I believe that I live by a fairly healthy lifestyle and I exercise and eat the proper foods. However, upon completing my prior required assignment “Three Day Diet Analysis” and comparing my results to the recommended serving size and amount based on mypyramidtracker.gov website, I was shocked to find that my eating habits were not all that great despite the fact that I work-out five times a week, doing various physical activities such as, yoga, P90X, hip-hop abs, playing basketball, and running. Within this assignment, I will create a healthy eating plan for myself, implementing my personal recommendations from choosemyplate.gov website and my recommendations from mypyramidtracker.gov website. Furthermore, I will discuss my current eating habits and ways on how I plan to implement my healthy eating plan into my daily lifestyle. On any given day, I consume on average 2-3 8oz cups of Spanish espresso, way over the recommended daily amount, along with 1 12 oz. regular mountain dew. However, other than that I drink 1 full glass of 2% milk, 4-5 12 oz. bottles of water, 1-2 serving of fruits and vegetables, 4-6 serving of meats and beans and to be honest an unknown amount of fats, oils, and sweets. Other than the obvious no-no foods and drinks that I consume on a daily basis, I feel that...

...Two Methods to Lose Weight Florence J. Smith COM/155 September 27, 2013 Carmen Garcia Two Methods to Lose Weight In a society with fast food, TV dinners and convenience store deli’s that provide high calorie foods obesity and chronic diseases are a growing issue. Food is also used for comfort in tough times, at social gatherings and a center piece for the holidays. Then there are those people that are just addicted to eating like with any other addict that depends on drugs or alcohol. Many people find themselves looking for a way to lose the added pounds. Proper Nutrition and regular exercise provide a healthier lifestyle compared to extreme exercise routines and fad diets. If you are one of many people that wake up one morning, look in the mirror and decide that it is time to take action. There are two methods to lose weight; the first is proper nutrition and regular exercise, and the second, would be multiple fad diets and extreme exercise programs. Another outlook on these two methods would be to say the right way and the wrong way. Both methods help with achieving weight loss, however only one is the proper method. One might ask what the difference is, the goal is to lose weight and be healthy. Proper nutrition and regular exercise is a lifestyle change, whereas the use of fad diets and extreme work out programs is just a temporary solution. We all want to be more fit and get a clean bill of health from our doctors and I am about to...

...The medication I picked for this week discussion is Motrin. This is one of the most commend medication you purchase in your life time. The generic name for Motrin is Ibuprofen, it also carry other brand name like Advil, Cedaprin, Midol just to name a few. The CAS number for Ibuprofen is 15687-27-1 (Chemical, 2008). The mainly used of this medication is to treat minor pain including headaches, toothache, arthritis, cold/flu, migraine or menstrual cramps. It is also can be used for fever. e. Upload the structure of the molecule to the Resources area in your Workspace and embed it in your post by linking to it. Or, you can directly link to it on the web if the picture is on its own webpage. There are actually two functional groups in Ibuprofen. Carboxylic acid is the first functional groups and an aromatic ring (image of Benzene). The way Ibuprofen work in the body is with the enzyme called cyclooxygenase which prevent a compound called arachidonic acid to turn into prostaglandins. One of the actions prostaglandins cause is inflammation (Jones & Lewis, 2010). That is why when we look at Ibuprofen, it is described as an anti-inflammatory medication. What this means is it help reduce the swelling to relief pain and help reduce fever. The small side effect most of us done know is Ibeprofen have an anti-platelet effect which is a COX inhibitor that prevent the production of TxA2.
