AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT:
In elementary
school, I used to
race everyone I
could. I LOVED to
tear up the asphalt
and pump my little
legs and arms and
feel the wind in my
face. In third grade,
I nally got my
childhood crush to
race me across the
parking lot next to
our playground. He
was the fastest boy and I was one of the fastest girls
at my little private school in Texas. We raced. I won.
Barely. And then I think he might have punched me in
the stomach. Ah, childhood.
Also, in elementary school, I competed in the 50-yard
dash and the 100-yard dash. I came in second two years
in a row, but I won the 100-yard dash in 5th grade. At
11 years old, I felt as though I'd won a gold medal in
the Olympics (yes, I was THAT excited)! I went on to
sprint the 100- and 200-meter in high school track, but
found a love of running longer distances in my early 20s.
I competed in several 5Ks and 10Ks and did the Camp
Pendleton 10K Mud Run three times.
Then I got busy with work and life and hung up my
running shoes for awhile. When I competed in the War-
rior Dash with my best friend in 2010, it seriously kicked
my butt. We had a blast, but that's been about it for me
for running. Now after putting this special runners' issue
together, I'm getting all amped to run again. I felt par-
ticularly inspired by three Max Muscle customers who are
in quite amazing running shape. Drew Brazier, 28, used
to weigh 340 pounds and now he is racing in 100-mile
ultra marathons! Betty Schaefer, 63, had never really run
until 2008, but is now winning medals as a sprinter! And
Sonja Friend-Uhl, 41, is an open competitive runner (she
runs 800 meter races to full marathons) and is breaking
records in all kinds of racing events, most notably the
1500 meter. Read their inspiring stories on pages 38-41.
This issue is packed with great information for run-
ners, from novice to experienced. From the right gear
and proper nutrition to stretching and benets of trail
running, there's plenty to get you ready for your next
run. And one product that can help you train longer and
go farther is Max Muscle's Xtinguisher. Read all about its
benets on pages 56-58.
Happy trails to you! Kick up your heels and go for a
run. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next one winning
medals and racing in ultra marathons!
Until next time,

PRESIDENT'SPOINT
Sean Greene is President of Max Muscle and the Executive Editor of MS&F.
thiS Month, our Max
Muscle product focus is on
Xtinguisher. It not only is
one of my favorite products,
but I believe it is actually one
of the best in the our line of
quality supplements. I say
that because anyone who
participates in some type
of physical activity, whether
it's weight training, running,
playing a sport or a job that
involves manual labor can
benet from Xtinguisher.
The key feature of Xtinguisher is that it delays muscle onset
fatigue. There is a metabolic response that takes place in our
bodies when we exert ourselves physically. You may have heard
an endurance athlete refer to it as hitting the wall. When this
takes place, its because we have pushed our muscles to failure
and our body has produced lactic acid. This causes the muscles
to temporarily weaken and as a result we are not able to go any
further in the activity that we are trying to do. Every individual is
different and one who is better trained may be able to push further
than someone who isnt as well trained, but everyone at some point
will hit that wall.
Xtinguishers proprietary and science-based formula enables
athletes to be able to push further, allowing them to train harder
and longer. The end result is that we are able to get more out of
our training, our sport or our job. Xtinguisher does not have to be
taken in a loading phase, nor do you have to take it for a specied
period of time before it will work.
Speaking from rsthand experience, after taking my very rst
serving of Xtinguisher, I was able to go from level 12 to level 15
on the stationary bike. Not only did I increase three levels, but I
was also averaging 89 RPM vs. my normal 78 RPM and I went 60
minutes instead of my usual 45 minutes. I noticed that not only
was it easier at the higher level from a cardiovascular standpoint,
it was also easier from a muscular standpoint, but it was meaning
my heart rate was at around the same rate at the higher level.
Additionally, I was not experiencing the burning in my legs as much
as I do at the lower level!
The reason Xtinguisher works so well is it was developed using
the patented form of beta-alanine, CarnoSyn, and is combined with
L-histindine, which boosts carnosine levels in the muscle. Clinical
studies have concluded that this increases muscle strength, buffers
lactic acid, delays muscle fatigue and speeds recovery time. I, for
one, can vouch for that.
Xtinguisher is Buy One Get One 50 percent off for the entire
month of July, so if you havent tried Xtinguisher yet, ask a Certied
Fitness Nutrition Coach at your local Max Muscle store today for a
free sample before your next workout so you can feel the results for
yourself. I promise you, youll be back to get some more.
Max Muscle Sports Nutrition is proud to introduce
XTINGUISHER, a scientifically-based formula that supports
the muscles production & maintenance of carnosine and
aerobic ATP production. Using XTINGUISHER will allow you
to train harder and longer before muscle fatigue sets in.

Beta-Alanine and Histidine With

INCREDIBLE RESULTS
When I rst went into Max Muscle Clackamas (Oregon), I basically went in with a vision of how I
wanted to look, and I was looking for some help and knowledge to get there. Mary Davis was able to
clearly break down a complete diet for me that also showed where I could add in the products that
were offered at Max Muscle. I purchased MaxPro, Max Gourmet and Max Glutamine. It was quite a
change to switch up my entire diet, but it didn't even take two weeks before visible changes started to
happen. Once I was able to see my body becoming leaner with new muscle growth, I trained harder
and did my best to eat better. It was a slow process, but after 13 weeks I have never felt better in
my life. I plan on keeping to my new diet and exercise regime, and set in stone these healthy habits
for the rest of my life. Thanks for all the help Mary and the Max Muscle team! Christopher Patrick,

1st Place Win
I've always had a passion for tness. Last year, I decided
to put that passion to good use and became a personal
trainer. That's when I met fellow Max Muscle Walnut
Creek teammates, Cassandra and Matt DuBois and Mike
Wegner. They encouraged me to train and compete in
my rst show. I was introduced to Coach Ken Tali and
the Max Muscle Walnut Creek family after my rst
competition in San Francisco. Ken's team had cleaned
house, placing in many of the divisions, including 1st
Place Masters Men's Physique and brought home Overall
in Figure Open. That's when I knew I had to enlist the
help of the mastermind behind it all: Ken Tali.
I teamed up with Ken in October 2011 and had
my heart set on achieving 1st place and overall in my
division. Ken custom tailored my diet and knew exactly
what adjustments were necessary and when to enforce
them. He advised me on the appropriate supplements
to take. I'm hooked on Max Muscle's ARM and Max
Glutamine, which helps with my recovery.
When the diet and training got difcult, Coach Ken
kept me on track and motivated. With the combination of
Ken's experience and expertise and my determination,
there was no stopping us. At the 2011 NPC Sacramento
Bodybuilding, Men's Physique, Fitness, Figure &
Bikini National Qualifying Show, I placed 1st in Men's
Physique-Class A and took home Overall Men's Physique
for Coach Ken Tali and the Max Muscle Walnut Creek
Team.
I want to thank God for his grace. To my family and
friends, thanks for hanging in there with me through this
process. A special shout out goes to Coach Ken Tali and
the Max Muscle Walnut Creek family. We did it! Thank
you everyone for the encouragement and support.
Here's to our win in Sacramento!

Bouncing Back
I had my rst seizure in May 2011. In June 2011, holding my
wifes hand, I got the terrible news that I was diagnosed with
epilepsy. This was a complete shock to me. I immediately lost
so many things that were dear to me. My ability to drive, to
rough house with my 3-year-old son (who is my world) and
complete control of my body. Over 6 months, I went through
more tests and the trials of trying to nd the right combination
of medications to help control my seizures. During this time,
I had 13 more seizures and at one point there was talk about
brain surgery. Also during this time I was not able to do anything
active, especially go the gym and work out. I had lost a total of
20 pounds and had little to no muscle strength or denition.
After a time and nally starting to feel normal, I met with
friend Victoria "Dolly" Fonseth. She was telling me how she had
been competing in tness competitions and absolutely loved it.
I mentioned that I had always thought about competing in the
Physique category. She very sincerely said, Why dont you? You
could do it. At that moment a light bulb went off in my head
and I thought, Why cant I? After getting more information
from her, Dolly informed me to stop into the local Max Muscle
where she happened to be working. After discussing it with my
doctor, he gave me the OK to start this journey, and said that in
fact it may even help me.
So I went into the Max Muscle in Greeley, Colorado. There I
was greeted by a massive man, the owner Rodney Garcia. He not
only sold me on the products but educated me as well on tness,
nutrition and training. I left with not just the Max Muscle Core
4, but a feeling of inspiration and motivation. I joined Work Out
West, where many other tness competitors trained, and started
working out. As a family man and working 40 hours a week, I
had no choice but to get up at 4 a.m. so I could start my workout
by 4:30 a.m. Rodney and the team from Max Muscle informed
me I needed to bulk up if I was serious about competing. So I
started my journey. That was in November of 2011.
By the middle of January 2012, I had already gained several
pounds of muscle. I knew at that point I could really do it. I
had become a VIP member at Max Muscle and developed good
friendships with all their staff. Dolly and I see each other at the
gym all the time and she is very motivating.
Now it is May, a year since my rst seizure. Since starting
my tness journey, I am stronger now than I have ever been and
I have been seizure free for over four months. I am well on my
way to competing in my rst show, which will be at the end of
August. Max Muscle and its staff have done so much for me and
really changed my life. Now I am taking many supplements to
aid in my journey and I am on a customized diet plan that was
put together by Greeley Max Muscles Micah Hoeing. I have
recommended many people to Max Muscle and they too are
seeing great results. Thank you to Max Muscle for helping me get
my life back.

MAX CLEANSE & LEAN (MCL) offers a
solution to digestive issues as well as a way to
remove excess water and waste from the body.
You work out hard to stay fit and you want to
see the results every day, thats what MCL can
help do. MCL addresses the water and
bloating that many of us hold just under our
skin, in our hips, abs, legs and feet. MCL helps
naturally release this excess fluid and flush it
from the system to help drop weight quickly
and lean up. MCL also helps promote
regularity, which is essential to health.
If youre backed up, MCL will get you back on
track and in the process help you to lose
unwanted pounds!
M
ud runs are no longer a dirty
little tness secret. They
are soaring in popularity.
There are literally hundreds of them
popping up all over the country. Just
do an Internet search on the topic,
with your local area, and you will
see several events coming up. These
events are usually a 5-10K run that
has obstacles along the way, such as
rope climbs, swimming, mud crawling
under barbed wire, etc. In short, its
a grueling run that is very fun and
challenging.
My wife and a few of her friends de-
cided to do a local mud run called the
Warrior Dash in Lake Elsinore, Calif. I
had not paid a lot of attention to these
races; that is until my wife started giv-
ing me the details of her new chal-
lenge. It was a 6K race that had 12
obstacles along the way including run-
ning through some hot aming coals.
I was quite sure that I would enjoy
watching this race much more than
FOREVERYOUNG
competing in it.
We arrived early in the morning. I was
amazed to see literally thousands of com-
petitors as well as spectators. The start-
ing line would had people lined up for
about 100 yards deep and 20 yards wide.
They would start a new race every hour,
so I estimated 7,000 to 10,000 com-
petitors ran in this race! Our Max Muscle
Team (pictured below) had a blast. They
were lthy, dirty, laughing and exhausted
by the time they nished.
I was very impressed with all of the t
and enthusiastic competitors. Most ev-
eryone dressed up in a team outt or a
funny outt. The funniest one I saw was
three guys dressed up as businessmen
complete with ties and briefcases. It
was hysterical to see how clean and nice
they started out, and then when they
crossed the nish line, their briefcases

WHAT MEN ARE SAYING ABOUT 2TX
:
After just a couple of weeks of consistent 2TX, my
energy began to really pick up and it showed in the gym,
the mirror and in every part of my life. It has helped to
raise the life vitality bar back up to where it used to be.
Steve Wright,
54 Years Old Newport Beach, CA
I have more strength, more energy, more endurance
and more drive! If you are a man over 40, youve got to
try 2Tx today! It is a real shame that I didnt discover this
product earlier in life!
Chris Johnston,
50 Years Old Stockton, CA
I was suffering from mid-day fatigue, low energy and
difficulty concentrating. I then decided to try 2TX and
within a month my energy and focus was up and I was
leaning out while increasing muscle tone.
George Summers,
49 Years Old Fort Collins, CO
After my 52nd birthday, I felt lousy all the time. A friend
then recommended 2TX. To my great delight within a
week of taking 2TX, my energy returned and from every
aspect I soon began to feel 20 again!

Looking for a good source of energy for your training
or event? Grab a banana, say researchers at Appalachian State
Universitys Human Performance Lab in the Kannapolis-based North
Carolina Research Campus.
The scientists at Appalachian conducted a study on trained cyclists
to see whether bananas or sports drinks were more benecial to
sports performance. Every 15 minutes during a 3 hour simulated
road race, the athlete participants consumed either a cup of a
carbohydrate sports drink or a half a banana. At the end of the race,
blood samples were taken to determine the effects of the food or drink
on metabolism.
What the researchers found: both bananas and sports drinks
were equally benecial for sports performance. But bananas provided
the cyclists with ber and other nutrients not found in the sports drinks.

NECESSARY NAPS
Feeling guilty about that catnap you took on Sunday, rather than cleaning out the
garage? If youre 50 or older, youve got a good excuse for catching those extra ZZZs.
New research published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society concluded that
napping helps older folks to get adequate sleep, plus helps with daytime brain function.
Its long been known that as we approach our middle to senior years, there are
changes in sleep patterns. Older people sleep less deeply, wake more often and get an
average of two hours less sleep per night than younger people do. But many of them
worry that taking a daytime nap may interfere with getting to sleep and staying asleep
at night.
The research involved 22 healthy women and men ages 50 to 83 who agreed to
be tested in a sleep laboratory. Prior to the testing, they kept a sleep log at home and
wore monitors to determine their night-time awakening patterns. After this, they had a
sleep evaluation and a battery of cognitive tests. Then they began a prescribed napping
regimen: half of the participants were to take 45-minute naps daily, and half were asked
to take two hour naps. At two and four week intervals, all returned to the lab for repeat
evaluation.
What the researchers found? Total sleep time (night-time sleep plus naps) increased in
all participants, increasing the amount of time spent in deep sleep, which is thought to
restore the body and brain. As a result, all participants scored better on cognitive tests.
There was no difference in the short (45-minute) nap group compared to the two-hour
nap group in sleep increase or cognitive function, but the longer nap participants found
it harder to adhere to the schedule.
What the study didnt address: whether power naps (less than 45 minutes) would
have the same result, how long the effect of napping would benet older people and
whether less healthy people would achieve the same benet from napping.
Gum Disease/Heart
Attack Link Debunked
For many years now, dentists have suggested that infected
gums can lead to problems such as heart disease a fear that
has kept many faithfully going in every six months for a dental
checkup. But a recent scientic statement published in the
American Heart Association journal, Circulation, says there is no
evidence that there is a cause and effect relationship between
gum disease and heart disease.
A panel of 13 U.S. experts reviewed 500 journal articles,
looking for a link between gum and cardiovascular disease.
A number of theories have been suggested to explain the
association, such as mouth bacteria (higher in number in those
with gum disease) entering the blood stream during dental
procedures and even while brushing the teeth attaching to
fatty deposits in arteries and triggering blood clots. Or bacteria
setting up an inammatory process, thickening the artery walls.
But instead of a direct link between gum disease and heart
problems, the scientists found that while diseases of the mouth
and diseases of the blood vessels often occur in tandem, one
does not necessarily cause the other. Instead, the researchers
suggest, those who ignore risk factors for heart disease, such
as smoking, lack of exercise and proper diet probably ignore
their oral health as well.
But all heart concerns aside, theres good reason to make that
six month dental appointment: healthy teeth and gums and a
dazzling smile!

STRONG
HEALTHY
BONES
Tips for preventing bone
density decline.
HEALTHMATTERS By Linda Hepler, BSN, RN
C
hances are, you worry less about your bone health
than you do about your heart health. After all,
when you think about someone with poor bone
health, its likely you envision an elderly woman
with a walker, and that isnt you not yet, anyway. But
osteoporosis, or a weakening of the bones, and its precursor,
low bone density, is not just an occurrence that strikes aged
women. It can affect those in mid-life or even younger. It
can also happen, although less commonly, to men. The good
news is, there are things you can do right now to protect
your bone health in the years to come.
The most important thing to understand about bones
is that they arent static, but a living and growing tissue.
Bones are in a constant state of turnover, says Nathan Wei,
MD, FACP, FACR, a rheumatologist practicing in Frederick,
Maryland.
Bone is continually in a state of renewal, he adds, with old
bone cells being removed (and absorbed by the body) and
new bone cells being laid down. You build bone when more
bone is laid down than is removed (although as we age,
the bone-building cycles are less efcient). And you lose
bone when more is removed than replaced. The greatest
accumulation of bone mass occurs prior to young adulthood,
when you attain your peak bone density. After this time,
says Dr. Wei, theres a slow decline in bone density in both
genders.
If bone density declines enough, then you will develop
osteoporosis, a condition that weakens the bones and leads
to fractures, especially of the hip, wrist and spine, says
Terrence Crowder, MD, an orthopedic surgeon practicing
in Phoenix, Arizona. And you dont have to have a severe
injury to experience an osteoporosis related fracture, either,
Did You Know?
According to
the National
Institutes of
Health, about 10
million people in
the United States
already have
osteoporosis.
Another 30
million have low
bone density and
are at risk.
Whole Foods or Supplementation?
Should you get your calcium and vitamin D from foods
or from supplements? Most experts agree that while its
always best to take in nutrients through food sources, it
is difcult for many individuals to get enough calcium
or vitamin D through foods. In addition, says Adam
Wollowick, MD, an adult and pediatric spine surgeon
who practices at Monteore Medical Center in New
York, Supplementation with calcium and vitamin D is
recommended for all adults who are more than 50 years
old. Dr. Wollowick cautions that all individuals should
consult with their physician prior to beginning nutri-
tional supplementation.
When Should You Have a
Bone Density Test?
A bone mineral density (BMD) test, also known as a DEXA scan,
measures how much bone you have at the hip and spine. Its a bit like
having an x-ray, but with less radiation. It can identify low bone density
or osteoporosis, and help to determine your risk for fractures.
While some medical groups, such as the American Academy of Family
Physicians, believe that most women dont need a BMD until age 65
(age 70 if youre a man), many physicians recommend the test starting
at age 50. Terrence Crowder, MD, an orthopedic surgeon practicing in
Phoenix, Arizona, is one of those physicians who recommends early
testing. I think theres a signicant number of middle-aged people who
have osteoporosis or low bone density and dont know it. If you dont get
tested, you wont know if you have a problem until you have a fracture,
he says. Its important to discuss with your physician whether you should
have a bone density test at age 50, especially if you are or have been
a smoker, if youve used steroid medications regularly, if you have low
body weight or if youve ever had a fracture in the past.
he adds. An osteoporotic fracture can
occur from a non-traumatic injury such
as rolling over in bed or a minor fall
from a standing position.
According to the National Osteoporosis
Foundation, one in two women and one
in four men ages 50 or older will break a
bone due to osteoporosis. In fact, men
older than 50 are more likely to break
a bone due to osteoporosis than they
are to get prostate cancer. And women
older than 50 have a higher risk of
breaking a hip due to osteoporosis than
their combined risk of breast, uterine
and ovarian cancers.
The greatest concern with broken
bones sustained due to osteoporosis:
a high risk of death. According to
research by the University of Maryland
School of Medicine, 29 percent of older
persons who break a hip die within
a year of that fracture. And, says Dr.
Crowder, If you have a compression
fracture of the lumbar spine, your risk
of death over the next ve years raises
by 20 percent.
How to avoid being a part of these
statistics? The best way, says Dr.
Crowder, is to recognize your risk fac-
tors and to change those things that
you can in order to protect your bone
health. You should also, especially if
you have risk factors you cant change,
speak to your healthcare provider about
bone density testing and treatment for
osteoporosis if necessary. Risks for low
bone density and resulting osteoporosis
include:
nAge The older you are, the greater
your risk of osteoporosis. In general,
people with no other risk factors
experience low bone density by age 65
in women and age 70 in men.
nGender Women start out with
less bone mass in general, says Dr.
Wei. And after menopause, when
bone-protective estrogen decreases,
bone density declines rapidly.
nBody size Small, thin persons,
especially women, are at greater risk,
because they have less bone mass.
nFamily history Osteoporosis runs
in families. If you have a close relative
with osteoporosis or low bone density,
its more likely that you will, too.
nLow sex hormones Low estrogen
levels in women due to menopause or
lack of regular menstrual periods in
women, and low testosterone levels in
men can decrease bone density.

nLow calcium and vitamin D intake Calcium, found in
dairy and fortied foods such as orange juice, and vitamin
D, found in oily sh, eggs and fortied foods, such as milk,
are necessary for bone formation. But it is hard for many
people to eat a sufcient amount of these foods to assure
adequate nutrient intake.
nSedentary lifestyle Lack of physical activity can
weaken bones.
nOvertraining Although we know that exercise can
strengthen bones, Theres such a thing as too much
exercise, says Dr. Wei. Intense exercise and extremely low
body weight are linked with lower levels of bone-protective
estrogen in women. And excess physical activity over a long
period of time can set up a chronic inammation in both
genders, which causes increased bone loss.
nAny disease that causes inammation such as
Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
nAsthma Its not asthma itself that causes low bone
density, says Dr. Crowder, but medications used to treat the
disease, such as prednisone (a corticosteroid), can do so.
nHyperthroidism or hypothyroidism can interfere
with calcium levels, bone formation and bone reabsorption.
nSmoking Smoking suffocates the bone, says Dr.
Crowder. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, shutting down the
small blood vessels that feed the bones.
nExcess alcohol Over time, excessive drinking can
inhibit the production of osteoblasts, a specialized cell that
deposits new bone tissue.
While the best time to begin protecting your bone
health is during childhood, its never too late to start, says
Adam Wollowick, MD, an adult and pediatric spine surgeon
who practices at Monteore Medical Center in New York. The
three most crucial things you can do to build and maintain
healthy bones, according to Dr. Wollowick:
nEat a healthy, well-balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits
and vegetables. In people over 50, and those younger who
are at risk, supplementation with vitamin D and calcium is
critical.
nDont smoke and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
nParticipate in a regular exercise program, which has been
shown to strengthen our bones. An appropriate regimen
includes weight-bearing activities, aerobic tness and
muscle strengthening.
TREATMENT FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
If you are diagnosed with osteoporosis (or low bone density
with a high risk for fractures), your doctor may prescribe
one of the medications approved by the FDA for this disease.
The most common medications used are:
Bisphosphonates such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel
and Atelvia, slow the bone cell breakdown, preserving
bone density. They are taken by mouth daily, weekly,
biweekly or monthly. They can cause stomach upset or
heartburn. In women who experience these side effects,
there is an intravenous injection form of Boniva, given four
times per year, that causes less stomach upset. Another
bisphosphonate medication called Reclast, is given by
intravenous infusion once a year or once every two years.
Calcitonins such as Fortical and Miacalcin are naturally
occurring hormones. Given by nasal spray or injection, they
help to regulate calcium in the body to help with the bone
building process. They are used in those who dont tolerate
bisphosphonate medications. Side effects of calcitonins
include runny nose, nasal discomfort or bleeding.
Its important to remember that even if youre taking a
medication for osteoporosis, you still need to exercise, take
in sufcient amounts of vitamin D and calcium and decrease
alcohol intake. MS&F

While experts have conicting opinions about how much calcium and vitamin D you need, the following table lists
the recommended dietary allowance and the upper level intake for each nutrient, according to the Institute of
Medicine. How to tell where your needs fall? Ask your healthcare provider about your individual needs based upon
your risk factors for osteoporosis. You should also ask for a 25-hydroxy vitamin D test to measure the levels of
vitamin D in your body. There are no standard measures of deciency or sufciency at this time, but your doctor will
be able to determine more accurately how much vitamin D you need by looking at your test result.

Ways To
Get the
Out of
Your Runs
Its easy to fall into the same old
running routine. You set out on
the same route at the same time
and your runs suddenly become
less productive than usual. I like to
call it a runners rut. Here are ve
things I have found helpful to get
the most out of your runs. With a
few slight changes, you will be off
and running in no time!
Get a light
stretch in before your
run. Warming up your
muscles will be key to a
nice steady run with no
cramping. My favorite
pre-run stretches are
the basic calf, quad-
riceps and hamstring
stretch. For my upper
body, I like to just do
arm circles forward and
backward.
Go at your personal most
productive time of the day. For me,
its right when the sun rises. No
noise, no trafc, cool air, no stress.
Having the right music
can really make or break a run!
If you know you are the type of
person this applies to, make a
running playlist with all of your
upbeat favorites. Putting your
music device on shufe is easy,
yes. But when that slow, sappy
love song comes on, theres
nothing more annoying
than having to press
next, and then again,
and again, along your
run. It cuts into the con-
tinuity of a run. My best
advice is either tune in
(create a specied play-
list) or completely tune
out (nothing but you
and your run).
Drink plenty of water every day,
but most importantly on days before long runs.
Anywhere from 2-3 liters is best. For longer
runs, make sure you are staying hydrated along
the way. Climate can play into this as well so
check the weather before heading out on a long
run. Warm and humid climates will require more
hydration. There are many water pack prod-
ucts on the market, and for long runs, I highly
recommend the belt pack (one that can go
around the waist), or a hand-held (that straps
around your hand).

comes for each of your goals. You
are more likely to have a great run

very runner strives for improvement. While
many work to incorporate different types
of runs (for example: interval, trail, etc.) in
their training program, an equally impor-
tant tool is the integration of alternative forms of
exercise. One that is incredibly useful is Pilates, an
exercise form designed to help increase physical and
core strength through a series of small, controlled
movements. Pilates helps foster mindfulness during
training, boosts exibility and improves body posture
and breathing. All of these components are bene-
cial to runners. Listed below are a few ways Pilates
can enhance your running.

Core strength
The best runners have a strong and well-
developed core. According to Dr. Jeffrey
Willardson, Associate Professor at Eastern
Illinois University (as part of the NCSA Hot Topic
Series) a strong core is essential for ensuring good
posture and efcient running; its what allows run-
ners to run faster with less fatigue, prevent injury
and increase endurance and balance. Runners with
a strong core are able to glide gracefully through
their workout with very little sound as their feet hit
the pavement.

Four
Ways
Pilates
Can
Improve
Your
Running
Mat work is the Pilates exercise you do on the mat, using your body and gravity. The benet of this type of Pilates is that it
can be done almost anywhere. Its challenging as it requires balance. A reformer is a piece of Pilates equipment designed
by Joseph Pilates consisting of a sliding/gliding carriage or mat, ropes or straps and various springs of different tension.
Reformer Pilates is often done in a studio and, until a student is well-trained on it, done under the guidance of an instructor.
The use of reformer machines can offer additional challenges as when you add equipment, you are adding resistance.
Becca Franks, certied Pilates instructor and owner of Animas Center shares that, Students wishing to gain the benets
of Pilates should aim to incorporate a mix of both Mat and Reformer Pilates in their training routine. Combining both these
elements will help to develop a well-balanced body. MS&F

BReathing
When participating in physical
activities and sports, its easy
to forget to breathe. However,
the lack of breathing prevents muscles
from getting the oxygen they need to
function efciently. Certied Pilates
Master Trainer Gabriela Banuet at
The Valley of the Sun Jewish Commu-
nity Center states, Pilates takes you
through a series of small movements
incorporating steady breaths. It forces
you to practice breathing techniques,
which can be replicated during your
runs. Focused breathing allows you
to transport oxygen efciently to your
muscles, thereby preventing muscle
fatigue and helping you run longer
distances.
3
stRetching
Pilates practice focuses on
stretching the body in order
to lengthen lean muscles and
ligaments, which helps to maintain a
runners range of motion and in-
crease his or her stride. The American
Council on Exercise (ACE) states that
stretching can produce many positive
long-term benets. Strength and en-
durance training alone will not provide
you the full benet Pilates offers.
4
Mind-BOdy
cOnnectiOn
Pilates teaches athletes to un-
derstand the importance of the
mind/body connection, to approach
each movement with purpose and
thought. Pilates makes you think and
pay attention to muscle movement in
order to gain the maximum benet.
Once mastered, these skills can also
be used to enhance your running.
Yolanda Hundley, a SONY sponsored
runner, states that, at the end of the
race, your body is always tired. It isnt
your physical ability that carries you
to the nish, its your mind. Accord-
ing to Banuet, developing the ability
to consciously link your mind to your
physical actions is benecial for devel-
oping your athletic ability.
Incorporating Pilates into your train-
ing regimen will not only advance and
lengthen your running career, but it
will provide you with a well-balanced
approach to tness. MS&F

I raised mine.
Ryan Shum, DC, CSCS at LKN Pain
Relief & Wellness in Charlotte, North

and reason why those ve minutes of
stretching after your run is important to
t in.
I treat and consult with a lot of run-
ning athletes, from professional and
competitive triathletes and marathon-
ers to recreational joggers and runners.
I often advise my patients to focus on
stretching after a run as your body tem-
perature and blood ow to muscles is
maximized. Stretching should be rela-
tively easier and a vast array of different
stretches can be benecial. The stretch-
ing aims to improve range of motion

goals. If you are feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, it
is likely because youve encountered some negativity and
reinforced it in your brain, says Fawn Germer, bestselling
author and leadership speaker. Fortunately, that pattern
can be changed by adjusting the types of messages we
send ourselves. Make a list of ve afrming statements and
practice repeating them every day when you wake up and
during your runs. Phrases such as I am strong and I will
nish this run are examples of empowering statements.
This practice will train your mind to think positively about
your running routine and eventually help you regain the
excitement.
2. Form an Alliance
Rob Wallack, expert runner and owner of the Arizona-
based store, Runners Den, offers his customers many
opportunities to participate in group runs. On training
days when everything is going right, we dont need anyone
else. As a matter of fact, other runners may get in the way
of our experiencing those brief moments of timelessness.
However, sometimes running with others is a blessing in
that misery loves company. Forming alliances with others is
an excellent way to keep you accountable to your training
schedule. Knowing that someone else is expecting you to
run goes a long way toward staying on track.
3. Register for a Race
Avid runner Jennifer Presz shares that, nothing compares
to the energy and euphoria that spectators bring to a race.
This experience, regardless of your speed, talent or ability,
can be a powerful tool to help you ignite your excitement
and keep you motivated. Many races are not competitive;
rather, they are designed to bring communities together to
celebrate health and tness. Look for these types of events
in your area to help you stay focused and on the right path.

Three Tips to Help You Stay Motivated to Run
TIME TO GET RUNNING
M
argaret deHesse has run every
kind of race from 5Ks to ultra-
marathons. At age 56, she
recently took third place in the womens
overall in the Aravaipa Desert Trail
Race Series a series of 50-mile trail
endurance runs. Race preparation took
her through mountainous trails and
along uneven paths, often logging up
to 90 miles in a week. Trail running
has helped me realize an increase in my
running agility, strength and endurance,
as well as overcome the psychological
challenges of ultra-running (distances
greater than a marathon), shares
Margaret. Along with the millions of
others who trail run, deHesse has reaped
great benets from incorporating trail
running into her training routine.
The top three reasons to trail run
include the following:
Increases Strength
While running is known to generally
increase cardiovascular health, trail
running offers the additional benets
of increasing strength in your muscles,
particularly in your calves, hamstrings,
quads and glutes. Naturally hilly and
steep grades force trail runners to
strengthen muscles. Running uphill
activates glutes and calves while
downhill works quads and core.
Promotes Balance and Agility
Trail running requires runners to pay
more attention to their surroundings.
As you move over the often rocky and
uneven ground, your body is forced
to constantly adjust and readjust in
order to remain centered. Those who
have tried trail running understand the
challenge of navigating the terrain, says
Miki Stevens, avid runner and racer.
Mastering this type of running helps to
improve my running agility. Using all
Benefits
of Trail
Running
your bodys muscles to maintain balance with every step, trail running provides the
added bonus of burning additional calories.
Protects Joints
Many people avoid running because they fear the impact it will have on their joints.
Because of the uneven surfaces and elevation changes, trail running turns on
more of the proprioceptive system in the body, according to Timothy Spooner, PT,
FAFS. This effectively recruits more muscle bers and serves to strengthen and
protect joints. Strengthening your joints can have long-term health benets.
Trail running provides a wide range of benets. It presents both new and seasoned
runners with unique challenges and can be used to change up your regular running
routine. For more information on specic trails in your area, visit TrailRunner.com.

T
wo of the quickest ways to
destroy any meal plan or
healthy lifestyle is mindless
eating and emotional eating.
One example of mindless eating
happened a few weeks back when
I spent most of Saturday working
in my yard. When I came inside for
some water, I noticed a big bowl
of M&Ms on the kitchen table.
Thinking of all my yard work, I
rationalized having a few M&Ms.
Later that afternoon, my wife
asked whod eaten all the M&Ms.
I replied that if nobody else had
eaten any, then I was the one who
had eaten them. Without even
thinking, every time I came in the
house to get a drink, I grabbed a
handful of M&Ms, and by days end
I had eaten over half of the bowl.
By doing so, I had added a ton of
calories to my diet. It is mindless
eating like this that will sabotage
any meal plan.
Another example of mindless
eating (of which I was guilty before
the MaxForm Life Challenge) is
eating while watching television.
Sadly, in the past, it was no problem
for me to eat an entire family size
bag of chips with a whole jar of hot
sauce while watching television. As
I have mentioned before, one of my
most embarrassing moments was
MAXFORMCHAMP
when my son pointed out the irony
that Id polished off a half gallon of
ice cream while watching the NBCs
The Biggest Loser.
In the past, I would have kept this
embarrassment hidden, but I have
learned through the MaxForm Life
Challenge that I need to confront
those issues and deal with them. I
also share these things now because
I know there are other people who
face similar issues. You can confront
and overcome bad eating habits.
For me, that has meant setting an
unbreakable rule: No eating in front
of the television!
A second road block to a healthy
lifestyle is emotional eating. Emotion-
al eating occurs when you eat for any
reason other than hunger. For exam-
ple, when I was happy or celebrating,
it might have been a steak or Mexican
food. I have a friend who confessed
that when she is sad, she will eat an
entire bag of cookies or bag of candy.
I have another friend and co-worker,
Julie Ivey, who said her go-to food
when she is sad is ice cream.
When you eat emotionally, you are
satisfying a feeling instead of a hun-
ger pain. When you are emotionally
eating, you are more likely to con-
tinue eating even when you are full.
One of the major downfalls of emo-
tional eating is the feeling of guilt left
behind after eating, which in return
can lead to more emotional eating
a vicious cycle that can cause you to
add more calories to your body to be
stored as fat.
2QH RI WKH UVW VWHSV WR RYHUFRPH
emotional eating is to recognize it and
come up with a plan to address the
problem. To combat emotional eating,
substitute a healthy alternative by go-
ing for a walk, working in the yard,
cleaning the house, playing games
with your family or sitting down with a

(13.1 miles) and completed it! he says excitedly.
Realizing that he had found a passion for distance running
on extreme terrain, Drew decided to train for an ultra
marathon. An ultra marathon is a running event longer than
the traditional marathon length of 26.2 miles. The most
common distances are the 50K (31 miles), 100K (50 miles)
and the 100-mile events.
After completing a 50K mountain trail run, he went on
to complete 50K and 100K races. Not willing to rest on his
laurels, Drew had his mind set on accomplishing yet another

Discovering the Sprinter Within
Take one look at nationally ranked sprinter Betty Schaefer and
youd never suspect that she is anywhere close to being 63
\HDUVROG$V\RXZDWFKKHUJOLGHDFURVVWKHQLVKOLQHVRIWKH
100, 200, 400 and 800-meter events with power and precision,
youd swear that this wife, mother and grandmother of nine
has been at it for most of her life. But nothing could be further
from the truth.
Growing up, the stability of a permanent home wasnt
something that Bettys family had. As a child, we moved every
six weeks to a new state for my dads work, so my two sisters,
my brother and I werent able to be involved in any school
sports or activities, explains Betty. As a steel worker for the
government, her father built B-52 hangars and missile silos.
Each project lasted only six weeks and upon completion, the
family would move to the next location in a trailer and a large
truck that they hauled all over the United States. The constant
relocation lasted until Betty was a senior in high school.
Over the years, Betty always had an interest in exercise
and has worked out regularly. But it never dawned on her
that she could take her athleticism to another level. In 2008,
her husband Don, a track umpire and enthusiast, took his
ZLIHWRKHUUVWPHHWWKH2O\PSLFWULDOVLQ(XJHQH2UHJRQ
Immediately, she was fascinated and amazed with the sport.
Betty picked up on the beauty of the runners, jumpers and
throwers and just got hooked, explains Don. Betty adds, I
was so impressed by the athletes that I was pumped. I wanted
to do that!
Don took his wife to a local track and timed her in a
100-meter sprint. After their session at the track, Don looked
up the results for women Bettys age. To his surprise, he
discovered that her time would have ranked her amongst the
top 10 in the nation! Not wasting any time, Don enlisted the
help of a track coach to train Betty for competitions.
When training for competition, Betty hits the track three
days a week with her coach, Jim McLatchie, who has trained
more than 40 World and National-level runners to work on
speed, dynamic stretching and various drills. She also spends
two days a week at the gym performing TRX suspension
training, which uses a system of ropes and webbing that allows

+BuiOd YRur BDsH: You really do not want to toe the
starting line of a 100-mile without proper miles under your
belt. Training for this long of a distance may vary based on
individual preference. Some people train at 50 miles per
week, while others are at 150+ (these are usually the elites).
Getting as many miles and hours on your feet as you can is
essential, which is what it means to building your base. Give
yourself at least a year to run a few races at 50K, 100K or
50-mile distances. Though you will want to incorporate speed
work into your training, speed is not necessary in your longer
runs. The main issue of importance is running on terrain
similar to your race, and hours moving on your feet.
+1utritiRn: Many people who start a 100 miler drop
because it was a bad nutrition day. Understanding what your
body needs when is crucial. Learning to drink water and
electrolyte drinks every 15-20 minutes is a skill. You must

you stay on top of your fuel.

necessity. I try very hard to run when it impacts my family

through the night is very important as you will be doing this

not complain it is your choice to run that far!
+BDFk-tR-BDFk 5uns: It is obvious that running 100 miles
will require you to run on very fatigued legs. So, you need
to do back-to-back long runs while peaking in your training.
I typically do my back-to-backs on Friday and Saturday, very
early morning usually somewhere around 20-25 miles on
Friday and 25-30 miles on Saturday. This does not have to
be every week, but should be included.

users to work against their own body weight. Betty swears by
it. Ive worked out with weights for over 40 years, but I found
TRX to be way better than the machines because you have to
use your whole core to stabilize yourself, she says.
The Schaefers also realized that proper nutrition is a key
to Bettys success, so they turned to Max Muscle Bend for
help. Franchisee Dominic Current and his team spoke to the
couple about Bettys goals and how they could help. Betty
mentioned to us that she was a sprinter, and when you meet
someone in the shape that shes in, you have no choice but to

unners have a unique set of dietary
requirements that are vastly different from that
of a strength, power or physique athlete. As
endurance athletes those whose continuous
activity ranges in length of time from 30 minutes to 4
hours energy requirements are very different. In this
article, well take a look at the unique requirements
of runners and provide ways to customize a diet plan
VSHFLFWRDUXQQHUVQHHGV
The Nature of Running
Endurance athletes, like distance runners, require a
tremendous amount of energy (calories) to sustain
lengthy training sessions. Ultra-endurance athletes can
use up to 6,000-8,000 calories per day during training
season. Inadequate dietary support may result in
dehydration, chronic fatigue, muscle loss and injury. In
addition, training energy and performance ability will
decline.
FUEL UP
FOR DISTANCE
RUNNING
Calculating Energy Needs
Based on gender, age and activity level, there are simple
formulas on running websites and in sports nutrition books
that can be used to calculate Resting Energy Expenditure
(REE) for athletes in any sport. REE can then be used along
with an Activity Factor Range to determine daily energy
QHHGV*RWR0DUDWKRQ*XLGHFRPWRQGDFDORULFFDOFXODWRU
for runners.
Ultimately, physical factors can be used to determine if
more or less energy is required. Any negative symptoms
such as dehydration, ongoing fatigue, decreased
performance or increased injuries could mean daily caloric
needs are not being met. Customize your calorie needs as
necessary based on these factors.
Protein
Runners and athletes in general require more dietary
protein than their sedentary counterparts. This is thought
to be due to the needs of tissue repair and an increase in
branched-chain amino acid use as auxiliary
fuel. Protein intake for athletes generally
ranges from 1.5 2.0 g/kg of body weight,
with endurance athletes on the low end.
However, some endurance athletes may train
and perform better with more calories coming from
protein and may wish to shift to the higher end of this
range. Most important when it comes to dietary protein is
choosing high-quality sources those with high biological
values and listed as complete proteins. This will ensure
regeneration of tissue damaged during training.
Complete and high-quality proteins are most typically
found in the form of animal protein. Eggs, for instance,
contain all essential amino acids, while grain and vegetable
sources fall short and must be combined throughout the
day to deliver the necessary amino acids. Quality sources
also include protein shakes containing whey, casein and/
RUVR\SRXOWU\PHDWDQGVKPLON\RJXUWDQGFRWWDJH
cheese. Vegetarian options include the combinations of
peanut butter and whole wheat and beans and rice.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are a crucial energy source for runners, and
they also work to metabolize fats for energy. If the muscles
and liver get depleted of their carbohydrate (glycogen)
stores, an athlete will experience
extreme fatigue (perhaps dizziness
and nausea) as blood sugar drops
to a very low level. Athletes require
a constant replenishment of
carbohydrates since the body can
only store so much in the liver and
muscles.

Max Muscle's MaxPro is a powerful blend of whey
protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and potassium
caseinate. Each scoop contains 30 grams of protein.
MaxPro tastes great and has no chalky aftertaste.
After about 20 minutes of continuous exercise, the body
starts pulling blood glucose for energy. Glycogen levels con-
tinue to deplete with continued exercise, and liver glycogen
is used around 1 hours into exercise. Glycogen levels are
typically depleted after 3 hours of continuous training.
To support the endurance athlete, carbohydrate
recommendations are listed at 5-10 g/kg of bodyweight.
This creates quite a large range. An alternative method is to
determine 50-65 percent of total caloric needs and divide by
4 to get daily carbohydrate gram requirements. Based on a
2,000 calorie diet, if carbohydrate intake were 60 percent,
1,200 calories would come from carbohydrates, which would
equate to 300g daily.
To support training and overall health, carbohydrate
sources should be healthy. In general, choose 100 percent
ZKROHJUDLQVDQGVWDUFKHVDQGDYRLGSURFHVVHGDQGUHQHG
sources. These white carbs have been linked to obesity,
LQDPPDWLRQKHDUWGLVHDVHGLDEHWHVW\SHDQGPDQ\RWKHU
chronic diseases. Simple carbs should be chosen during and
after training only to quickly help replenish glycogen stores.
Distance athlete Esther Hare weighs in on her own dietary
habits as an Olympic and Half-Ironman Triathlete: Im not a
believer in carb loading. Whats more important is whats in
your body a couple of hours before and then during a long
distance race, and even more importantly, whats been in
your body consistently for the last few months of training.
Pre- and post-training and pre-competition carbohydrate
loading phases require higher and more frequent
carbohydrate intake. Research shows that consuming
carbohydrates 2 hours prior to an endurance event greatly
increases performance by sparing muscle and liver glycogen
for a longer duration. A 2002 study showed that running
capacity was increased by 9 percent in those who consumed
carbohydrates versus those in a fasted state.
,QDGGLWLRQIDVWFDUEVIURPVLPSOHVXJDUVDUHEHQHFLDO
to consume during and after training and competition.
These can come in the form of drinks, gels or bars. In
addition to the pre-exercise meal, intra-training carbohydrate
consumption offers an additional 6.9 percent increase in
performance, cited the same 2002 study. Athletes must
carefully observe and learn how much and which forms of
FDUERK\GUDWHVRIIHUWKHPWKHEHVWSHUIRUPDQFHEHQHWVZKLOH
minimizing negative side effects. Too many carbohydrates can
result in an upset stomach, diarrhea and cramping. A general
range of carbohydrate needs during exercise for endurance
athletes is 1.0 1.1 g per minute of activity.
Post-exercise carbohydrates should be consumed as
soon as possible preferably within 15 to 30 minutes to
replenish glycogen stores. This will help prepare for the
next training session, minimizing fatigue and performance
impairment. Whole foods, juices and low-fat dairy are good
post-exercise choices.
Fats
Fat should not be forgotten about, as fat is a great source of
long-term energy for both exercise and everyday activities.
After protein and carbohydrate percentages have been

endurance athlete is fat. Fat should be consumed with every
meal with the possible exception of pre- and post- training
or competition. Fat prior to training may cause the feeling
of a full stomach since dietary fat delays gastric emptying.
This may be uncomfortable to some people. Fat after training
would also slow the digestion rate, and thus, the bodys
speed at which glycogen stores may be replenished.

structured for both performance and aesthetics. She follows a
vegetarian diet of 45-50 percent carbohydrates that consist of
ORZJO\FHPLFKLJKEHURSWLRQVEDODQFHGZLWKJSURWHLQ
per meal and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil and
avocado. Says Hare of her diet, Getting my protein right is
key to making sure I stay lean, but also to keep my blood
sugar constant to avoid any sugar cravings. MS&F
The Importance of the Post-Workout Meal
Registered Dietitian Christie Achenbach weighs in on
the impact of a post-workout meal: There are several
reasons why glycogen repletion occurs faster following
exercise: blood ow to the muscles is much greater
immediately after exercise, muscle cells are more likely
to take up glucose, and the muscle cells are more
sensitive to the effects of insulin during this time period,
which promotes glycogen synthesis.
Achenbach adds why it is important to include protein
with the post-workout meal: Studies show that some
protein with carbohydrate after exercise helps enhance
glycogen resynthesis by helping stimulate insulin. A 1:3
ratio of protein to carbohydrate is recommended. The
combination of eating protein with carbohydrate after
strength training may also stimulate muscle growth by
the release of insulin and growth hormone.

Vit-Acell Energy
Vitamins and minerals play essential roles in most
metabolic processes in our body. They act as anti-
oxidants, co-enzymes and catalysts playing roles in a
number of chemical reactions. Vit-Acell Energy, which
comes in a delicious citrus avor, is a natural liquid
nutrition supplement that provides 100 percent
or more of 13 essential vitamins and essential
minerals. It also contains a natural juice blend
loaded with antioxidants, 100 mg of colloidal
minerals and energizing herbal extracts
such as green tea, ginkgo biloba, grape seed
extract, ginseng, citrus bioavonoid extract,
rutin powder and herperidin extract. Vit-
Acell Energy also contains a caffeine blend,
making it a perfect choice for your morning
multi-vitamin. It provides 100 mg of caffeine
coming from green coffee bean extract,
guarana extract, yerba mate extract and kola
extract. Taking a liquid vitamin offers even
more benets such as:

Max Pro
Consuming enough protein each day can be the difference between
getting results and not. Max Pro is comprised of a blend of whey protein
concentrate, whey protein isolate and casein protein. Whey protein is
an excellent source of glutamine, glycine and the branched-chain amino
acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. Whey protein transits the stomach
quickly for fast absorption by the intestines, making it ideal to consume
post-exercise to speed recovery. Rich amounts of glutathione, a powerful
antioxidant, are contained in whey protein. Glutathione is involved
heavily in metabolic detoxication, and levels of glutathione have been
shown to decrease with exercise. Peptides from whey protein have also
shown to enhance the activity of our immune system.
Recently, whey protein has received attention for being effective in
weight loss and reducing body fat. A newly published research study
had this to say about whey: Healthy, overweight and obese individuals
participated in the double-blind, randomized clinical trial ingesting a whey
protein shake twice daily for 23 weeks. Participants were provided no
dietary advice and continued to consume their free-choice diets throughout
the study period. At the end of the 23 weeks, subjects in the whey protein
group lost statistically signicantly more body weight, fat free mass and
waist circumference compared to the other groups consuming a similar
soy protein or an isoenergetic amount of carbohydrate (placebo).
Casein protein comprises 80 percent of the protein found in milk and
does not clear the stomach as fast as whey protein. It is a slower digesting
protein, often referred to as a time-released protein, making it a good
choice to add to whey protein and to consume prior to bedtime when you
will be in a fasting state.
Earlier this year, Max Muscle launched Max Pro in new 1-pound trial
sizes and will soon be offering new avors in our traditional 2-pound and
4-pound containers.
GlutaMatrix
Glutamatrix is formulated with three different sources of glutamine, each easy to use and providing individual
benets for our body. GlutaMatrix helps to speed recovery by enhancing immunity, accelerating muscle repair
and improving brain function. Here are some highlights:
s L-glutamine is easily absorbed into the blood stream, allowing for quick absorption and immune function
s Glutamine peptides are absorbed intact and trigger protein synthesis repairing and recovering our muscles
s N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine replenishes brain neurotransmitters after difcult workouts
s GlutaMatrix also includes 16 grams of carbohydrates (8 of those coming from dextrose), which is important
for fast and optimal absorption.
s Easily to Swallow
s Better Utilization
Immunity, energy, performance and recovery all lead to results in achieving optimal health. If one is missing,
you wont get the results youre looking for. Incorporating the Core 4 into your daily life is the foundation that

two components: lactate and hydrogen
ions. The hydrogen ions are the bad
part of lactic acid and they enter the
muscle and cause the negative effects
associated with lactic acid, such as
burning, fatigue and the heavy feeling
you get limiting your ability to perform.
These hydrogen ions also cause
a lowering of the blood pH levels in
your muscle, which is the worst part
of all because if you repeatedly train
and build up too much lactic acid,
the change in blood pH can lead to
breakdown and muscle damage. This is

literally soaks up the hydrogen ions,
allowing us to continue training with
less negative effects. This stabilizes
the pH levels in the muscle, which
contributes to healthier muscles.
CARNOSINE
Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of
two amino acids, beta-alanine and L-
histadine, both of which are ingredi-

by Harris (2005) has shown that with
supplementation of beta-alanine and
L-histadine, carnosine levels increase
in as little as four weeks, and can in-
crease by 80 percent after 10 weeks of
supplementation. Carnosine is a regu-
lator of intracellular pH levels, keeping
your muscles healthy and allowing you
to push yourself to the limit all while
continuing to make positive training

also show that carnosine:
Is a powerful antioxidant.
May slow the aging process.
May cure a hangover!
May reduce muscle soreness and the
effects of DOMS (delayed onset
muscle soreness).
The key to keeping carnosine levels
high is supplementing with beta-ala-
nine and L-histadine. The most effec-
tive dosage is 2 grams (2,000 mg) of
beta-alanine and 1 gram (1,000 mg) of
L-histadine taken twice per day even
on off days to maintain high carnosine
levels.

Xtinguisher in her water bottle to help

to stay on my game while motivating
those in my class to push through the

er sponsored by Max Muscle Highlands
Ranch/Lone Tree in Colorado. His nutri-
tion coach (and Max Muscle franchisee),
Bryan Cash, introduced Xtinguisher into
his regimen more than a year ago. "I
take Xtinguisher as a pre-workout sup-
plement before high volume workouts
(conditioning circuits, sparring, rolling
and wrestling practice)," Cody said.
"The results Ive experienced using
Xtinguisher have been awesome. There
is a very notable decrease in muscle fa-
tigue, which means I can train longer
and harder. Im able to push the pace
during sparring and wrestling and that
lactic acid feeling that normally comes
two-thirds of the way through the round
never shows up. It is hands down my fa-
vorite Max Muscle supplement."
Cindy Fennell, 36, of Knoxville,
Tennessee has been using Xtinguisher
since December 2011 for her pre-
workout, Pro BCAAs during her workout
and Iso-Extreme post-workout. "I notice
delayed muscle fatigue and elevated
energy levels when using Xtinguisher,
and I LOVE the tingle factor!" she said.
Bridget Redman, 36, of Land O

Max Muscle products. She gets her
Xtinguisher at Max Muscle of Wesley

me to squeeze in those extra reps when
I would normally feel as if I couldnt do

Xtinguisher!" she exclaimed. "It is my

WHAT'SHOT
RUNNING FOR LIFE
Marshall Ulrich climbed the
highest mountains, set records
in the toughest and longest
footraces and then clocked the
third fastest time ever recorded
when he ran across America.
He credits his wife, Heather
Ulrich, with the inspiration and
support he needed to nish this
unprecedented crossing at age
57. Ulrich chronicled all of this in
his book, Running on Empty.
Available at most bookstores.
