OPTIMIZE YOUR PRIME TIME

I know I talked about this before. But it doesn't hurt to repeat. Plus I added some more helpful tidbits.

Before I started undergrad I was lucky enough to do the Balfour program at the University of Notre Dame. It was a pre-freshman summer immersion program that I was sooo thankful to be a part of. Besides knowing the campus and having a set group of friends I also got to know some of the faculty.

Now one professor Dr. Rudy Bottei dropped many pearls of wisdom. Not only for physics and biology but he gave us guidance on basic principles that I still stick to today. One of his sayings was to, "optimize your primetime!!!" He always encouraged his students to get as much done during the hours of 9-5 instead of wasting it away at the student center, sleeping, playing video games, or anyother way one bs's in college.

However, for me and basically every person I know our primetime hours can be extended much earlier and later than 9-5...especially gym and other workout fanatics .

When I am in the gym I make sure I optimize my time in the utmost manner.
First off I do not go there to chit chat and make friends. (Side bar - I have met some great people there though) My time is focused on  working out and getting my sets in cardio in. Not talking to my treadmill neighbor or eye stalking the gym hottie.

Two and this is really the focus of the blog today when I come dressed to the gym I come not to impress but to MAXIMIZE the sweat!!

Attention Ladies and Gentleman:
If you come to the gym like you are about to shoot for Maxim Magazine than turn around, go home, and put on more layers. There is so much more you can be getting from your workout if you saved the skin tight attire for a walk in park....when the very hot players from the neighborhood baseball or softball league are playing.

When I come to the gym it's about burining the maximum amount of calories and fat in the least amount of time and in order to do that I have alot going on underneath my clothes. I literally look like the Michelin Man with all those layers...

Here is my regimine I use every time im in the gym (Except summer)
IF YOU HAVE THE INTIALS OF KR THEN PLEASE GET THIS!!
1) I apply sweet sweat to all of my trouble zones.
    The cream as it namesake suggests makes you sweat more.

2) Then I wrap my stomach in plastic wrap. No shame in my game. I use the store
     brand
3) Next I put on this body suit
4) Then you put on your workout gear
5) And finally if you have balls and you want to look like Superman or as I have
    been called Michael Jackson  wear this vinyl suit. I've seen people put a
    sweater or huge XXL shirt to hide this sucker.

I know it seems like you are baking a cake with all of this steps but trust me the sweat speaks for itself and it is an Olympic sized swimming pool.

Have a good one folks :)

PEE U!!!

Hey Peeps!!

So Sorry for the lack of posts but believe me when I tell you that I have been busy as a bee .



Anywho last week I was working out with my mom. I both love and loathe this time because I get to spend some quality time with the mom dukes but unfortunatly it's during the wee hours of the morning. After my workout I head home and my mom looks at me and turns her noise.

She then turns her head to my cat and says , "Whoa Denver your mother smells like cat pee!!" I immediatly became white as a ghost and said, "WHAT.... I stink.?!?!? "Well," she said, "cat pee doesn't smell good..... does it?"

OMG Becky!! I was horrified. Did I really smell that bad and most importantly ....why did I? I immediatly went to my labtop after a shower..lol... and started looking online.

My initial search said that sweat that smells like ammonia or in this case cat urine (ughh how embarassing) is due to lack of water. I immediatly dismissed this theory because I drink a gallon plus a day!!!

So I looked on bodybuilding.com and found this gem of an article.
Basically what is boils down to is my diet.

I am in the height of my competition training so I do not eat carbs every day. As a result there is an overabdundance of protein in my system. As I stressed before an all protein diet is not healthy. Carbs are your body's perferred source for energy. But, if your body is deprived of glucose it will get the eneryy from protein during a very diffcult process called glucogenesis. Your body takes amino acids (building blocks of protein) for energy. In the process a nitrogen atom is removed and is circulating in your system. This left over amino acid usually leaves your body through urine but if there is alot of nitrogen the excess will leave through your sweat.

Just so you know ammonia is made up of one nitrogen atom and three hydorgen atoms. This is where the pee smell comes in. YUCK.

To remedy this... eat a freaking carb already. An apple, sweat potaote, whole wheat bread, or some sticky rice in your sushi will do the trick. Until then peeps guard your noise if you see me training. Well only a little while longer.

FREE AT LAST!!!

Happy Mother Freaking Friday Everyone!!!

Ok I am soooo excited that it will be 80+ degrees this weekend. Short shorts here I come!!! However, for some of you this weekend will bring to light some awful truths. Like all the belly fat and cottage cheese you amassed on your frame this winter. But don’t panic, there is still time to lose all those unsightly inches and lbs before the first burger is flipped on the grill. Here are two products I use to shed excess weight fast!

Your first line of defense is PMS Tea. (and yes men, you can use this too!!).

I absolutely swear by this product. Don’t worry it’s all natural and you will shed the weight… trust me!!! PMS tea was designed primarily for woman on their menstrual cycle to drain excess water. However, bodybuilders and figure girls use this to look lean and toned for competition. A word to the wise: Do not drink this if you are on the road!! Because Honey if you do, you will be best friends with the porcelain gods after one cup.

It’s only $6 for a box (16 tea bags are included) or you can get 6 boxes for a little over $30.

My next must have is Sweet Sweat.

Before my cardio routine, I apply generous amounts of the cream around my stomach, butt, and thighs. I then wrap my stomach in plastic wrap to trap the heat. After 25 minutes I literally have a swimming pool full of sweat around my stomach. Again this is all natural (I wouldn’t recommend anything to you that aren’t) and you will shed the fat. It’s only $20 and it is well worth it.

So…to put it bluntly (as I do so well) GET OFF YOUR ASS!!! Tell your coworkers to go to Subway this afternoon for lunch and start moving! Memorial Day will be here before you know it and it will be all she wrote. No Apologies people!!!

Until next time...
