Rise From The Ashes Like A Phoenix

In Greek mythology the Phoenix was a bird that lit on fire and was consumed from it. Then from the ashes it would be reborn and come alive once again.

Do you feel like you need to be reborn to greater health and vitality at times?

A powerful class of herbs known as the “Superior Herbs” in both Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda can do that for you.

Secret Bodybuilding Root You Have Never Heard Of

Did you know that bodybuilders are often on the cutting edge of nutrition?

Not only are many of them willing to do whatever it takes, like injecting themselves full of illegal drugs, but they’re always on the lookout for something that works even better.

And for those that aren’t willing to go the illegal route this becomes even more important.

Dive deep into the bodybuilding world and you’ll hear about different natural herbs that can have powerful effects.

One of those is Maral Root.

The name Maral root comes from the maral deer who feed on it. Specifically the males would fight each other during mating season, then dig out the roots and eat them to restore strength. Local people noticed this and used the root themselves historically for the following purposes:

* Recovery from fatigue
* Recovery from various illnesses
* Increasing performance “in the bedroom”
* Improving mild depression
* Increase memory
* Increase work capacity
* Adaptogenic properties
* Anabolic properties

It’s even been Prescribed to Russian Athletes to Aid in Recovery from Hard Training

Many people have heard of the Chinese Olympic athletes in swimming and track that won many medals and their use of Cordyceps. But that wasn’t all they used. Also included were Rhodiola, Eleuthero and Maral Root.

What makes it so powerful?

It has a few different natural plant sterols that do the trick.

One substance is called 20-Hydroxycdysone which increases protein synthesis at the cellular level, which leads to increases in muscular tissue.

Maral root also contains ecdysterones, a hormone normally found in insects and crustaceans. Not normally found in humans, this component has been shown to have many physiological effects and may be at least partially responsible for its anabolic activity.

Animal Fitness For Sports Conditioning

Ever wondered how you can take your sports conditioning to another level; amplifying your strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance and overall coordination? Football players need great strength for tackling, Baseball players need hip drive and arm power for hitting homeruns, MMA Fighters need superior conditioning to go for those long grueling fights that could either end early or late in the fight, Soccer players need incredible leg endurance and explosiveness to kick the ball hard into the goal net and stay in the game for up to 90 minutes a period, an amateur/pro wrestler needs pure focus and intensity for insane matches that can last 5 minutes or 60 minutes. Conditioning one man once said is your greatest ally.

I've been in sports and know the training it takes, I do wish I had learned what I know now and could've been greater than when I was in that sport (Shot Put & Discus). Even though I learned them later in life I'am convinced that Animal Movements play a major role in physical and mental development. It doesn't matter if you're a pop warner jock or a 20 year professional, you can make the very best of your sport using the animals we have all been in awe of for thousands of years.

Moving your body in this manner is not as easy as it looks and often at times looks kind of goofy but as they say, looks can be deceiving. I have taught both kids and adults alike the value and fun of Animal Training. It puts the word fun in FUNctional when it comes to the mental game and how you use your structure to mimic an animal the best way possible. Some people say you're not an animal, you're a man so move like a man; well in some ways that's true, we can't move exactly like a wild animal because we're not structured like them. However, we do shed the same color blood as many mammals and other animals among nature so why not utilize that entity?

For kids who are in sports it's a perfect ensemble of recreation and physical fitness because it doesn't just build strength and stamina those are part of the package; the big picture is realizing that they give a kid coordination, teaches how to use their whole body in harmony just like in sports. Some of the animal exercises like birds, amphibians and those who are hunters like rabbits, the big cats, a spider and Bears strengthen muscles in the arms, thighs, hips & ankles giving them that explosive power out of the shoot like a baseball player for example; they're in the outfield and the ball is hit a good distance away from him/her so they run hard and sometimes have to leap and dive in order to catch it. That's pure speed and explosiveness in the whole body in order to do something like that. Another example would be a long jumper; they speed up towards the line and at the right moment explode off and leap as far as possible. Two animals come to mind when I see that, the Kangaroo & the Frog; two of the most amazing jumpers in the animal kingdom.

The other thing that a lot of athletes don't always consider when their training for their sport is to strengthen the tendons. How often are tendon and ligament injuries as oppose to muscle injuries? Tendons seem to be the most common of injuries is because of two things; one, they're not properly strengthened that prevents tears and breaks, the second is because muscles look amazing on the field. What I mean by that is, you can't see the tendons because they're inside the body, you can see muscles however and these guys (mostly in football, baseball and Track) have insanely larger muscles than they need to have and the biggest mistake is that too much muscle overruns the tendons' abilities to stay in tack like on your ankles, femurs, shoulders and elbows. Animal exercises don't just build solid and powerful muscle but strengthen the tendons to help the muscles function at a accelerated rate.

I firmly believe that Animal Movements should be used as often as possible in conjunction with the Sport you or a child is in. They'll make you fast, energetic, coordinated, strong, full of stamina and will build insane real muscle that isn't bloated up and full of fluff. Here are 3 courses to give you ideas on bringing the very best out of you within your sport.

Using Supplements Intuitively

Supplements can be a touchy subject because there are certain things that don't always mesh well for some people and it can bug the hell out of them. It's literally a multi-billion dollar industry and the majority of supplements don't always do what they're meant to do. The kind that are sold frequently are powders, pills and drinks. A lot of attention is based on how they're labled and how cool the cover looks. Some people flat out don't use supplements at all which is fine, hell i'd be fine with it myself but for a number of us it does help but finding the right kind and know how to take them is vastly important.

I've taken supplements off and on since I was 19 years old. So for 12 years I've tried and tested different things from pill form, gummies, powders, Tincture & energy type drinks. I've done the Met-RX, Muscle Milk, protein bars, whey protein and vitamin stuff as well. Some have worked and some haven't. I've even used supplements are extremely high in potency but taste like shit. However due to recent events and being over 30 with a rod and pins holding my shin bones and ankle bones together, things aren't always that simple when it comes to just eating right and exercising. I love to train and I definitely love to eat but no matter how clean my eating habits may be from time to time, it's not going to save me from potential arthritis and small pains that are going to happen as I get older.

I do not care what people say about not taking supplementation and they don't always be needed and you can squeak by just good eating and training. Life isn't always that straight and narrow. There are people out there who've had a great deal of either injuries or deficiencies that food simply cannot save from. Going back on some supplements and adding onto new ones is something for me to do to help prevent some form of pain from my leg injuries and the lack of warm weather during the winter months here in Idaho. Sure the sun comes out from time to time but there's literally no warmth from it at all so to get my Vitamin D at the level I feel is needed is taking a form of Vitamin D Supplement which I take up 12,000 IU of. I'm also doing Vitamin E, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc & Recovery Vitamins Supplements. However; there are kinds I don't take everyday but only at times where I intuitively feel like they're needed like the Recovery and Vitamin Chews I take. Those are for days like up to 3 times a week. 

So why do I feel supplements should be taken intuitively? It's because sometimes the instructions on the back of any type of supplement may not work for every single person. Unless you have a serious deficiency, into bodybuilding or are so damn serious about being in shape you don't need to take all your current supplements everyday. I'm not do more or less than what you're told to take but do them on days where it works for you. I don't take my recovery supplements everyday for a particular reason; one being that due to my size I have to take more than 4 pills in order to be effective but the bottle only has 60 capsules. So I take 5 only less than a few times a week to recover from big time workouts that hit me really hard on that day. The Chews are the same ordeal. I only need to take 2 a day but I can get a very high dose of Vitamins & Minerals from healthy smoothies, so I spread them out when I feel they're worth taking. The Vitamin D, E and others like Zinc, Mag & Calcium do need to be taken everyday because I need to keep my joints healthy and keeping up with my hormones (For the record I'am not repeat not taking steroids like needles, creams or pills) with the Vitamin D until warmer weather comes back. This works for me.

Take care of your body in a safe and healthy manner, there are some supplements that people need to take more or less of than what is instructed due to age, lack of muscle, bodyfat, low testosterone or estrogen so make smart decisions about what you take and not risk yourself overdosing or become so scared that taking very little is not enough. I believe in intuition and that the best things to take are ones that give you real benefit and results with little to no side-effects that can cost you hospital bills. Here is a list however of what I have seen and used that not only works like a charm but can help you have high levels of health.

Muscle Gain

Tropical Chews

Spark

Nighttime Recovery

Vitamin E (Finest Health)

Vitamin D (Nature's Bounty)

    

A Story About An Office Worker Named David

I'm going to tell you guys something that might piss people off but I want you all and anyone who is into Starbucks to be aware of what might benefit you on a health and money saving perspective. This isn't to knock coffee or anything but let's face it, the majority of coffee being sold these days is very unhealthy and can cause a ton of problems you don't want so this is more of an awareness and putting a perspective for those who want to be healthier and could benefit from this:

On every corner in the U.S there is a Starbucks Coffee House. About 1 in 3 people who are coffee fanatics go into one everyday of the week. So lets put the average person in this perspective and let's call him David. David works 5 days a week at his job at an office in New York City. He gets up every morning, showers, gets dressed, eats a little something and goes to pick up a Iced Coffee w/ Milk on his way to work. Walks in, waits in line for a good few minutes (depending on the chaos since it is the holidays after all), orders his coffee which let's say is about $3. Not too bad, pretty cheap considering it's freaking Starbucks.

He gets his coffee with his name written all messed up like Dayved or Daevid something stupid like that. After about maybe 10 minutes or so he walks out and heads to the office no big deal. He's been working at this office for a while now for about a year, might get an early promotion who knows but overall, just a regular guy, has his good days, some bad but does what he can to get by but is building up a bit of health issues. He's in his early mid-30's like 34 at best. Now let's get some math on David's spending at Starbucks that he routinely goes to everyday, same coffee, some of the same people around and takes roughly the same amount of time in line depending on the early morning rush hour. For $3 a day that adds up to $15 a week. In a month he's invested about $60 worth of that nice big and tall Iced-Coffee w/ whole milk that he likes.

Now granted this kind of Coffee alone has around 35 grams of Sugar, 170mg of Caffeine, over 34+ carbs and doesn't have a lot of vitamins and minerals that could help Dave's digestive system and nutrition. Like I said he's been at his company for a whole year. Look at how much Coffee of this caliber he is spending at; $60/mo for a year is $720. This type of coffee could be linked to some of his health issues that he is not aware of like developing diabetes, high blood pressure, clogged arteries and a terrible build up on the central nervous system. I don't know about you but this could very well affect other things going in his life that just could go haywire.

One day David runs into and talks to a buddy of his he's known since their fraternity days at NYU; man the memories these guys had all those years ago of partying, girls, guys banding together, getting his degree in Business Technology and living the life of your average New Yorker. His boy John mentions to him this bad ass supplement he's taking that gives him insane energy, mental focus that would make Marine Snipers jealous and has lost around 10 pounds of bodyfat the first month he went on it. Good ole David listens but doesn't really pay attention because come on now, he's got his coffee why the hell would he need to take anything else to get his energy going in the morning. He starts thinking about what Johnny said and it couldn't get out of his head. Thought about again the next day and a couple weeks after that. Something finally hits his head and David goes online to find this supplement that Johnny was taking. Did a little digging and found the site for it. The Supplement this guy was taking was called Spark.

He was reluctant to buy it at first because it looked expensive. He started looking at the Supplement Facts and he was blown away by them so hard he nearly fell off his Darth Vader Rocking Chair (yeah the guy is a star wars nerd what of it?). He began to do a little math to compare the coffee he's been drinking for the past year. From what he gathered, the Spark Canister costs $51.95 which sounds steep but bare with the guy here; it is 42 servings of his favorite flavor Fruit Punch and only needs to to take 1 serving a day. This stuff he was looking had not once of sugar, very low calorie intake and has less than 50mg of caffeine than the coffee he's been drinking. Kept doing a little more math because seriously, it's part of his job and he's good at it. A little more calculations he put down the amount of $51.95 and added up to a full year's worth (let's go by 30 servings/mo) which came out to around $623.40. Holy crap bro, that's nearly triple digits in savings he's getting out of it. That was the final nail in the coffin because not only is he saving a shit load of money on one thing, it's also more than a whole month supply (42 servings for 42 days). Some of that money he is saving can go towards his rent, a fitness course he start exercising with without needing to go to the gym like this one called Animal Flow, hell even find healthier foods to eat.

Since getting the spark and going on his new routine; he's lost 15 pounds in the last month, gets to work earlier, started eating healthier little by little and has gained so much energy his own mother thought he was on drugs or something. No one has ever seen him smile and light this much. Who knows how far David can go if he keeps this up. He even joined the Company he got Spark from and started sharing it with his co-workers, friends on facebook & twitter and is even working towards a goal to where he won't need that crappy office job anymore and making a living helping others just like his bud Johnny did for him.

You can do the very same thing our man David here did. Change your life for the better, look to new horizons and make goals you didn't think were possible. I've been on Spark the same amount of time David has and I haven't had this much energy since I was in my early 20's and i'm an energetic guy. I'm jealous of this guy but I also admire him. What is your story lately and what story will you write when you get on this sucker? Not all coffee is bad but the majority of how it's made can have an effect on your health both physically and financially. Have a beautiful Monday wherever you and be amazingly awesome.
