Do you ever feel that you are not being your healthiest self because you aren’t taking supplements? Well, I’m here to tell you that supplements ≠ health.

Micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) are absorbed into our body through our bloodstream by way of our intestines. There are certain receptors in the cells of our intestines that assist in absorbing micronutrients into our bloodstream. These receptors can only absorb specific amounts of micronutrients at a time. For example, Vitamin C can only be absorbed in 250mg increments at a time.

Many supplements out there contain 500-1000mg of Vitamin C, making you think that the higher amount, the better. Not necessarily.

Once those vitamin C receptors are saturated, the rest of the vitamin C is either excreted from your body in your urine or f***s. Meaning it has had no beneficial impact on your body and health. This is why it is so important to get the majority of vitamins and minerals from foods, because they exist in the natural amounts that your body is able to absorb.

Ever notice when you take a B-vitamin complex that your p*e is neon yellow? It’s because your body is p*eing out the majority of the B12 in that vitamin, making it a pointless thing to spend your money on. You are literally flushing your money down the toilet.

Fueling yourself with real food may not be the sexiest thing out there, but it’s one of the best things for you!

Don’t fall for these marketing scams! Train Smart. Fuel Right. Reach Your Summit.

OVERHEAD SLAMS

Looking to add an explosive movement to your upper body routine? You should try overhead slams!

Overhead slams are a great functional exercise because they allow for a generation of force from your upper body that is hard to achieve with typical strength training equipment.

Explosive movements are key for improving sport performance. If you want to be more powerful on the mountain, then incorporating explosive movements to your routine is essential! Training for hypertrophy (muscle growth) is different than training for sports performance.

For overhead slams:
Begin with feet slightly wider than hip-width and brace core (imagine you are bracing for a punch or someone to tackle you).

With ball in arms, squat down slightly, on the way up you are going to raise ball overhead.

When arms are completely straight, you will then throw the ball to the ground as hard as possible while simultaneously lowering body back into squat to catch the ball on the way back up. Continue for a full set of slams.

DECREASE INFLAMMATION, GO GLUTEN-FREE!
GOTCHA!!! Gluten is a natural protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It has been promoted by fad diets as something that causes inflammation in our body and should be eliminated from our diets. Not so fast.

Wheat and barley are whole grains, an essential component of our diet. Whole grains are one of the primary sources of B-vitamins, which are necessary for energy metabolism (converting food into fuel in our bodies). Without proper functioning energy metabolism, inflammatory processes can be triggered! So eliminating gluten could actually increase inflammation in your body!

Additionally, “gluten-free” grains are typically heavily processed and devoid of most nutritional content. Making what you perceive as healthy food, not very healthy.

However, if you are someone who does have Celiac Disease or a legit gluten intolerance where you experience skin and/or digestive issues with consumption of gluten, then yes, you probably need to eliminate gluten from your diet. However, if you do not experience negative symptoms with gluten consumption, eliminating it from your diet will not “decrease your inflammation.”

Don’t be fooled by the hype; listen to credible sources.

Train smart. Fuel right. Reach your summit.

In order to get a stronger core, you have to progressively overload it just like every other muscle in your body. Progressive overload doesn’t only have to occur from adding more weight, there are many different ways to implement overload into your routine. Increasing the range of motion, like seen in these decline sit-ups. Another way is creating a longer lever, which is seen with these decline Russian twists by holding the medicine ball farther away from your body. This increases the difficulty of the exercise.

How-to:

Decline Sit-ups
Lay all the way down on the bench while holding medicine ball just above your face. Really pull from your core to come up. When you get to the top of the movement, keep ball overhead, not allowing low back to arch. Then use your core to slowly lower yourself back down.

Decline Russian Twists
Lower yourself back until you feel resistance in your core, but not in your lower back. Hold medicine ball away from your body with slight bend in elbows. Twist to one side, while keeping core braced and engaged. Then pull from the core to twist to the other side, still maintaining core engagement.

Higher than normal temperatures for this Colorado summer along with tons of outdoor activity time, can potentially leave us a sweaty, dehydrated mess.

Do you know that sodium is the most important electrolyte to replace during exercise?

Sodium (salt) is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat during exercise, and can decrease performance during activity if you don’t replace these losses.

The ways you can replace sodium during exercise is consuming salt in either a sports drink, salty snacks, or hydration beverages.

A good hydration beverage or sports drink should contain 287 – 431mg of sodium per 20 oz of fluid.

Ever have a question about hydration? Send us a message! We would love to help answer any and all questions you have.

Muscle cramps are weird because it isn’t fully understood what causes them. During prolonged exercise, especially in hot weather, cramping can be due to dehydration, caused by electrolyte losses in sweat. However, what causes muscle cramps when at rest? Is it due to dehydration? Not necessarily.

Some of the reasons for muscle cramps can be:
o overuse or injury of the muscle
o inadequate blood supply
o dehydration

Magnesium, an electrolyte, is often recommended in the form of Epsom salt baths to help with cramping. However, magnesium may not be the issue. If you do in fact have a magnesium deficiency you would also be experiencing muscle weakness, headaches, tremors, and uncontrollable muscle movements.

So what should you do to help with muscle cramps? Try:
o Applying heat to the muscle if it feels tight
o Applying ice to the muscle if it feels sore
o Light stretching

If you are worried about your magnesium intake, and want to make sure you are getting enough in your diet try some of these foods high in magnesium:
o legumes
o nuts
o seeds
o whole grains
o avocados
o bananas

Here is little feedback from one of our nutrition clients, thanking us for showing her that it is okay to eat carbs!

Carbs in the form of whole grains, fruits, starchy vegetables, and low-fat dairy products are great for us! Carbs are the main source of fuel for our brain and red blood cells, and if we aren’t providing these organs with enough energy, then we will feel like garbage.

A great deal of diets say the answer to weight loss is eliminating carbs, which does result in weight loss. However, this is probably because the person is consuming less calories then before the diet, think about what foods contain processed carbs (cakes, cookies, chips, french fries), all foods higher in calories. In reality, you could get the same results from a low-fat diet because this is another method of decreasing calories.

Stop falling for diet programs promising unrealistic results and just fill your body with real foods. As says “eat more things made from plants, not in plants.”

Meet one of our client’s Pat. She is going to be celebrating her 80th birthday next week!

Pat shows us that age is only a number and continuing to move your body in fun ways like hiking and cross country skiing can keep us young. She even did the Via Ferrata this summer. What a badass!

Here Pat is demonstrating a wall sit with adductor work by squeezing the medicine ball between her legs. Your adductors are an important hip muscle to strengthen because they can help in preventing groin strains, like when one ski gets a little too far out from the other.
