FRIDAY'S WORKOUT:
Exercise Up, Exercise Down:
It’s like Mr. Miyagi always said: “breathe in, breathe out; wax on, wax off.” For every exercise, there’s an up and down, in and out. Improve your physique by monitoring both the positive and negative phase of the exercises you perform. For example, the bench press has both positive resistance (the press) and negative resistance (bringing the weight back down). Making a conscious effort to control the weight’s movement throughout may double muscle stimulation and thus growth.

A Better Egg:
When you’re making 4-egg omelets every morning, the fat and cholesterol found in the yolks starts to add up. Next time your carton’s empty, try using an egg substitute. Egg substitutes supply all of the protein of whole eggs at a faction of the calories, without most of the fat and cholesterol. Some brands also provide added vitamins and minerals - namely, vitamins A, D, E, and B12, along with Iron and Folic Acid to help compensate for the missing yolk. Here’s another eggcellent idea: give powdered protein supplements and weight-gainers a try. Many contain a blend of egg and other quality proteins in easy-to-use, highly digestible formulas.
