ATP (recap)

 Hello and welcome everyone...let's make this simple. Muscles run on ATP, and we have three ways of making ATP.
1) The aerobic system...A) makes lots of ATP slowly. B) Burns fat
and sugar to make ATP. C) Is oxygen dependent. D) Gives endless
energy. 2) The lactate system...A) Makes less ATP but does it fast.
B) Burns only sugar to make ATP. C) Requires no oxygen. D) Yields up to seven minutes of energy. 3) The creatine-phosphate
system. A) Makes small amounts of ATP super fast. B) ATP comes
from stored ATP and creatine-p inside muscle. C) Does not need
oxygen, fat or sugar to function. D) Lasts ten seconds. Understanding the three systems will allow you to design an effective training program. It will help you understand when and
what to eat. It gives you the basis for selecting the right length and
intensity of your workouts.

ATP (3)

Hello and welcome everyone...the creatine-phosphate system. The
third and last method to build fresh ATP. REMINDER...ATP is
defined as adenosine tri phosphate...most important molecule in the
body. Carries energy necessary to facilitate all of the processes of
human metabolism. Each muscle cell contains another chemical
with hot phosphorus on the end...likened to a kitchen match. The
wooden part of the match is creatine, when it's phosphorus is in
place, it's called creatine-p. Sprinters...you need creatine-p. It
doesn't need enzymes to produce energy; it explodes as needed.
Releasing energy fast enough to rebuild ATP no matter how fast you run. This is not a slow cumbersome system...it's instantaneous.
Force yourself to learn the three energy systems, even if you're
only interested in losing weight. Next week...recap.

ATP (2)

Hello and welcome everyone...how do we ignite the correct source
of energy and at the proper time of need. When your run aerobically, as long as there is plenty of oxygen, ATP will be
manufactured from the breakdown of fat and sugar. This system can produce almost limitless amounts of ATP if you need energy
for endurance exercise, count on the aerobic system. Lactate System...in contrast, when you run anaerobically, the lack of oxygen not only turns off fat burning, it also blocks pyruvate from
entering the Krebs cycle. Pyruvate builds up and is converted to
lactic acid, or lactate. The only ATP produced comes from the burning of sugar halfway, so the amount of energy produced is
limited. The beauty of this system is that it doesn't have to wait for oxygen, so ATP is produced very fast. If you need fresh ATP in a
hurry, the lactate system will kick in to burn lots of sugar molecules
quickly. You will get quick energy...but it won't last. Creatine-
Phosphate...third method to build fresh ATP. will continue in part
three, next week.

A T P (1 of 4)

Hello and welcome everyone...muscle has three separate biochemical tricks, energy sources, for rebuilding ATP...depending
on the intensity of exercise. One for 10 -second sprints and energy
bursts. One for long, slow distance. One for effort intermediate
between the other two, middle distance exercise. If you can learn
Learning the basic principles of each of the three energy sources, you can design exercise specifically to met your goals. You can
train for any sport/competition, including weight loss. Next week,
surprise.

Peak Performance

Hello and welcome everyone and Happy Easter...Russell Simmons
has authored a new book, "Selfness," a must read. Meditation is
the latest gain momentum in the world of "becoming." Five minutes a day, at least will produce great rewards. Most of us search for that Edge in our training and competing...at any level.
All of us try to reach the peak of our Mt. Everest. Most of us has
what it takes...it exists within...it's up to each of us to tap it.

Blind Spot?

Hello and welcome everyone...a common thread weaves through
the very fiber of most of us. Searching for the truth, security and
confidence in the way we perform. Being ready when we hear "game on." All of us have "blind spots." The subconscious, what we think is true belief vs judgement causes confusion. Self limiting
belief causes self destruction. 99.9 % of people make that mistake.
Dan Harris, noted ABC news caster, just released his new book,
10% Happier, #1 on New York seller list. Must read. He details
the rewards of meditation...just a few minutes each day. Meditating
is hard work if you are doing it right. The inner self needs to surface. Brain exercise. One other thing...nearly 80% of all adults
have back pain in one way or another. White bark willow tree
originally was the ( source for aspirin ), along with egg shell  
membrane has helped a great number of people.

Turbo charge

Hello and welcome everyone...this blog will conclude our digest on
power foods, healing and energy. Let's begin with Apple Cider Vinegar. Purchase raw, unfiltered, organic. Rich in enzymes and potassium. Helps control weight. Promotes digestion and PH balance. Sauerkraut...high vitamin cbk18, antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin. Probiotics and Yogurt...as with most foods, picking the
right one can be overwhelming. Yoguts, look for "contains active cultures." Make sure it contains more than one bacterial strain. Some of the strains to look for: bifidobacter lactis HN109,
lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730, lactobacillus rhamnosus GG9LGG and lactobacillus casei DN-114001. My choice for Omega 3 fish oil...Dr. Tobias Optimum Omega 3. Being selective
in what we take will pay huge dividends for better health, training
and workouts.
