Do This for a Bigger and Smarter Brain!  

Exercise makes you smarter by increasing blood flow to the brain, by turning on hormones and chemicals that grow new neurons and by adding more gray matter to name just a few. Older people who are sedentary shrink their brains and can develop dementia.This can be stopped and even reversed though! It's important for your kids too, so get them moving with you!
 

X Gym Wins the Big Climb (again)!  

The 69 floor Big Climb stair race here in Seattle was dominated once again by the X Gym. No one even came close to our team time, fastest male or fastest female. In fact, Kourtney shattered her own course record by a huge margin (again). What better proof of our fitness system is there than this kind of performance, especially since tower running is the hardest sport on the planet?

What is the best timing for protein intake?
Here is the bottom line: Eat or drink your protein within an hour of your workout for best results, but it seems from this research, that getting it before your workout might be a great way to burn more body fat!

Exercise can change your genes!
We all want to fit better in our jeans and exercise certainly helps with that, but scientists have actually discovered recently that your exercise habits and style can actually change your genes! Yep, the genes you were born with don't have to be the genes you are stuck with. If you don't like them, you can change them!

Today's Quote: "Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy you the kind of misery you prefer."

 

Exercise is guaranteed to boost your mood and that's priceless!
