Beach Body Tips!

So, summer is right around the corner and you think it's too late to get your beach body ready? Wrong! Even if you aren't heading to the beach this summer, you can still get a beach body. Here are some simple tips to get you on the right track.
  1. Walking is the best thing that anyone can do. If you can put in 30 minutes a day then you are going to shed those unwanted pounds like no tomorrow. 
  2. Drink plenty of water and kick the soda, tea, and other junk juice to the curb. When you get hungry, have a glass of water first to see if you really are hungry. 
  3. Make sure you take a good multivitamin and even mix in some resistance training when possible. 

Remember, to get toned you need to do low weights, high reps. What this basically means is that you need to use a weight that you can do many many times. Don't put something on the bar that you can only do once or twice, aim for 3 sets of 10. One last tip is to not sleep the summer away. Getting up early on your day off will help you get motivated to be active and not sleep your summer away. Use the helpful tips and incorporate them into your workout for optimal results and you'll start noticing your new body in just a few weeks!
Members Mark Multivitamin Gummies - 300 ct. This is one of my personal favorite vitamins. It's in a chewy form, almost like a candy consistency. It doesn't taste like a regular bland vitamin and it gets the job done!

Are Liquid Vitamins Better?

Did you know that your body absorbs vitamins almost 80% more if taken in liquid form? Yes, studies have shown that when you take vitamins in their liquid form, your body is able to absorb the nutrients faster and in greater amounts. Think of your body as a tube filled with liquid. Now let's say you place a candy with a liquid center in the tube, acting as a traditional vitamin in pill form. As you watch the candy move through the tube, you'll start to see the top layers of the candy disintegrate. By the time the candy hits the bottom of the tube, it is worn down but not fully absorbed by the liquid in the tube. Now, let's say you broke the candy open and just let the liquid-filled center drip into the tube. You will immediately see the liquid from the candy being absorbed by the liquid in the tube! The same concept can be used when comparing liquid vitamins.Your body is able to absorb more of the vitamins when you take it in the liquid form. There are plenty of vitamins and supplements that are available in the liquid form. It is also common to find such vitamins in powder form which you can place in any liquid you desire, such as juice or water. I have even seen supplements which you can add to your coffee! Do your homework, there are plenty of online vitamin companies where you could find a full vitamin regimen to suit your daily nutritional needs!
