How to Find Time for a Healthier Lifestyle
As a Personal Trainer, I really have heard an awful lot of excuses from clients as to why they can’t exercise. Ranging from the plausible “I'm too tired”, to the questionable “I can’t afford a fancy gym membership”, to the downright ridiculous “I can’t leave my dog alone” - yes that has really been used by a client as to why they can’t work out! But by far and away the one I hear most often is “I don’t have time” , which in some cases may appear to be true, but even in an extremely busy lifestyle it is still possible to find time for exercise.
Know Your Labels
Many athletes are blissfully unaware of the importance of understanding supplement labels. Whilst most companies provide ‘full disclosure’, there are still certain area’s that you need to be aware of. Although been able to break down a supplement label is going to help, it unfortunately doesn’t prevent you falling foul to unscrupulous brands who try to get more money for less product, with their labels actually not matching up to the specified amounts of on the label. Many of you who are active on social media, will no doubt be aware of the recent showdown between ‘Mountain Dog’ John Meadows and Prime Nutrition regarding lab tests for the ‘Intra MD EAA’ product.

Probiotics: How to maintain a healthy gut.
Gut health is becoming an increasingly popular topic within the worlds of health and medicine and for good reason. There is increasing evidence that providing the body with the right ‘tools’ to support a healthy gut helps prevent many chronic illnesses, cancers and heart disease. It also helps with diabetes and supports immune function; there are even links between a healthy gut and levels of obesity.
Evogen IsoJect review !
Now the first thing to mention about Evogen IsoJect is that this stuff is just plain fancy, it’s the Aston Martin of Whey Isolate Products. It’s the kind of expensive supplement that deserves pride of place on the worktop, top of the fridge or wherever you may store your supplements. You definitely want your mates that lift too see you’re supping on the very best after a workout.
Prime Nutrition Taurine Review
My second product choice from the Prime Nutrition range after trying out Phytoform was the Taurine. I chose this as my initial knowledge of this amino acid was purely surrounding the improvement in focus but after taking a look at the labelling I noticed that it has many other benefits which I would like to cover.
Prime Nutrition PhytoForm Review
After recently receiving stock of the highly anticipated Prime Nutrition I managed to get a few of the products to try out, the first product that really grabbed my attention was the Prime Nutrition - Phytoform
DY Nutrition Formass Review
I like this low level of sugar. A lot of draw backs on some gainers is the amount of sugar in them. Sometimes these products can be utilised for post workout however i would feel comfortable drinking this product nearly any time of the day.
Shadow-X by Cobra Labs Review
I was very excited to try this new pre as I was always a fan of The Curse. The Curse certainly wasn't my favourite of all the pres but never complained when i trained with mates who always used it and I used a scoop off them.
