Anti-Gravity Superman Shakes

Want to get a huge boost of energy before your workout? Need a little help with recovering from that grueling run or power lifting session? The Anti-Gravity Superman Shakes can give you the fuel that you need to achieve both goals.

First, lets start with the basic foundation of the Superman Shakes:
  • (Soy) Milk - you want some kind of liquid to hold all the good stuff together and why not make it something tastier and more nutritious than plain old water?
  • Protein Mix - I prefer Trader Joe's quick-dissolving vanilla protein mix with zero sugar and zero artificial sweeteners.
  • Ground Flax Seed - there is no better way to get low-glycemic carbs, high fiber, tastiness, and omega-3 fatty acids than with ground up flax seeds. 
  • D-Ribose - this is a little known supplement that you can get on the cheap at Vitacost.com that will give you energy, boost recovery, and help your heart become stronger. I recommend the powdered variety.

The Secret to Fitness at Forty (or Any Age)

Six months ago I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the person looking back at me. How had I aged so fast in just a few years? I had gone from bright-eyed and energetic to dull and lethargic. I knew that I needed to make a change and it had to start with my fitness. After gaining about 30 pounds over a two year period, it was time to make a change.

Fast forward six months, I've dropped three waist sizes, lost about 20 pounds of fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle, and look about five years younger than I did just six months ago. My appearance has changed so much that many friends and acquaintances think that I used steroids or some other "secret sauce" to achieve such strikingly awesome results. They seem to think that it is impossible to make such a huge change in such a short period of time this late in life.
