This thing is a work of art. I wish I had my bike to work with me so I could try it out.
Even the box is cool.
There is is in all its gloriously machined self.
It took all of about 2 seconds to set it up.
Vitamin C and Weight Loss – 30% More Fat Burned While Exercising
Low amounts of vitamin C correlates with increased body fat and waist measurements. Nutrition researchers at Arizona State University report that the amount of vitamin C in the blood is directly related to fat oxidation during both exercise and at rest.
The study shows that those who consume adequate quantities of vitamin C oxidize 30% more fat while doing normal exercises than individuals with an inadequate quantity of Vitamin C consumption.
The research however, does not imply that vitamin C can be considered the new remedy for obesity and the new means of causing weight loss. Rather, it establishes that consuming insufficient quantities of vitamin C is liable to hamper any efforts of weight loss. Read more
1Up USA Trainer Review
It’s cold here in Saint Louis. I’ve been back in the gym using the Star Trac elliptical trainer and the recumbent bike but I can’t stand riding on the spinning bikes they have there. So I thought I’d buy myself a stationary trainer for my road bike.
Indoor trainers all use some sort of device attached to a roller to provide resistance against the bike’s drive wheel. Wind trainers, for example, use a fan to create progressive resistance. They tend to be noisy and once the fan passes a certain RPM the resistance curve flattens out. Fluid trainers, on the other hand, use a propeller encased inside a fluid chamber to create resistance. They are quieter than wind trainers and do a better job of mimicking outdoor riding, but tend to have issues with leaking and reliability. Read more
Fish Oil – Weight Loss & Depression Benefits
Scientific research consistently shows that those who consume the most omega 3 fish oil weigh less and experience more successful weight loss than those who don’t supplement with omega 3s.
Research published in the Journal of Nutrition found that omega 3 fish oil helps stop the conversion of pre-fat cells into fat cells by causing pre-fat cell death. [vol. 136:2965-2969]
Consuming fish oil during weight loss also helps balance hormones and increase metabolism.
Omega 3 fish oil capsules provide high levels of the important fatty acids DHA, EPA and DPA.These essential fatty acids are important in maintaining health and effectively losing weight. Read more
