Exercise Everyday!



Answer: Muscle building requires protein, nutrients and energy. Meat is just one source of protein, there are many vegetarian sources. It doesn’t take much protein to meet requirements even for a vegan if you use a variety of sources. A vegetarian will get more than enough protein by consuming a gram per pound of body-weight from all sources. Being female will actually present a greater challenge when it comes to gaining significant amounts of muscle mass than being a vegan will, just because you lack male hormones.

Gaining muscle requires adequate nutrients to support growth, proper resistance training to stimulate the muscle to grow and a bit of rest. When you eat protein, it is digested into amino acids that are then released into the blood stream for use by the muscle. It does not matter what the source of the amino acids are, be it egg whites or lentil soup as long, as they are present in the proper amounts at the correct time. The easiest way to accomplish this is to follow one of the dotFIT menu plans for vegans. Most athletes require between 0.55 and 0.8g per pound of body weight (1.2 and 1.8 g of protein per kg of body weight). Most of our menus provide protein in this range. Each menu plan contains adequate carbohydrate for fueling intense workouts and a little bit of fat for energy. Dietary supplements can be used to enhance muscle gain if needed, such as AminoBoost XXL and Recover and Build, which are not animal-based products. It is wise to use a daily multivitamin as well to ensure you are receiving all the micronutrients needed to build muscle. After your nutrient needs are met, one of the NASM designed workout plans provided with the dotFIT Me Program will help you build muscle.

levels of testosterone. I am doing cardio & weights to get fit. Is there a way to naturally boost my testosterone levels?

Answer: You are on the right track by adding exercise and losing weight. In fact, that’s about the only non-clinical/medicinal solution that has been shown to work.

Testosterone levels naturally decline with age but other factors can also lead to a decrease. Studies have shown that men with obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure may be twice as likely to have low levels of testosterone. Additionally, even if one is only slightly overweight, studies have found a link between waist circumference and testosterone levels. Men with higher waist circumferences had lower levels of testosterone.

By exercising (specifically weight training) you are on your way to boosting your anabolic hormone levels including testosterone. Losing weight may also move your testosterone levels to the higher end of the normal range. Although numerous websites contend that there are specific foods (e.g. protein, vegetables, etc) that increase testosterone levels, there is no valid research to support these claims.

There are many supplements on the market that claim to boost testosterone levels. However, very few deliver on the promise and if they do, you run the risk of changing many of your other hormone levels as there is a delicate feedback loop which the body uses to keep hormones in check with each other. In other words, one hormone affects all.

Eating a healthy diet to lose weight along with added physical activity will be your best “natural medicine”. Here’s a healthy athletic menu you might try. After reaching your desired weight, you should have your testosterone level rechecked and if it’s still low, consult with your doctor to see whether there’s any reason to seek medical treatment.

When I started out working out at Crunch I've had the support of a super trainer Vicente from the beginning. He encouraged me to change my own work out routine in order to make a change in my life. He is always right there by my side, not only talking about the working process of our body but also about our spirit that has to be connected. I really enjoy the camaraderie with him. Vicente is fantastic. He is a spitfire dynamo who will keep you motivated, dedicated and fired up. I have never met a trainer that can give such a hard and great workout while making it fun. Choosing the right trainer can make all the difference between success and failure.
Vicente helps you maintain a positive attitude towards fitness and the image of yourself.
Vicente is wonderful coach and mentor. He is easy to work with, a person who understands your limitations and is helping to achieve your goals in a positive manner. Someone who is very friendly and truly cares about each client.
Vicente is the key to unlock your potential. Enthusiasm, drive and heart... all the things that make a perfect personal trainer are all the things that Vicente has.

TESTIMONIAL: 

Darrell Lauer
My name is Darrell Lauer and I am 72 years old. I am a singer ,singing teacher, and voice therapist. I have a hobby of playing tennis. I injured my left knee and had surgery on it a little over a year ago. The recovery process was very bad, much worse than the surgery for the right knee. I developed arthritis in the knee and was only able to walk at first with crutches, then two canes, and then one and finally with a brace. All through this period I was seeing a physical therapist who helped me but finally couldn't do anymore. It was at this point that I was thinking I would need a knee replacement. I knew Vicente Peralta through a neighbor, and my son began to take some training sessions to help him lose weight and be more limber. I talked to Vincente and he was so positive and encouraging that I began to take some sessions myself! After a few weeks of working twice a week with him and doing my homework on other days I began to see some more improvement. Walking, although not easy, was getting better. There was less pain and I gave up the bulky brace! Another few weeks later I noticed that I was walking further with less pain again. My strength was improving in my legs and I was less tired. Vicente encouraged me to go back to gently hitting tennis balls with a friend without playing games, etc. I began this process by playing a half hour once a week and now I have a second half hour with a tennis pro. Although I have further to go, I can see such positive results from my work with Vicente. He is the reason that I am doing better and better. It is because of him that I have avoided a knee replacement and have begun the road to doing something again that I really enjoy. I can not thank him enough for all of his help. He is honest and really tells you how you are doing and really believes in the importance of physical fitness and what it can do for you. If you want to see your self stronger, more limber, feeling more energized, then I can not recommend more strongly Mr. Vicente Peralta as a physical fitness trainer and post surgery rehab specialist.

The difference now is having Vicente as a trainer. My body responds differently at this age and requires a different approach than my usual w.o. routines of the past. Vincente took all that into account and personalized a program specifically for my body and goals. Not only am I getting closer to a my desired physical and healthier idea, I am having fun doing it. He pushes and encourages and the results are well worth it."

I am an athletic female currently using your ActiveMV, but my doctor says I need to increase my iron intake. Should I take an iron supplement?

by dotFIT experts
Answer: This depends on how low you are in iron. Often physicians recommend iron supplementation after blood tests show your iron is low, or to prevent low iron in certain cases such as blood loss from heavy menses. If your doctor suggested increasing your iron intake, did s/he suggest how much? The ActiveMV supplies 10mg of iron in two pills, which is plenty of iron for the average healthy athlete with normal iron stores. Since the recommended intake for adult women who menstruate regularly is 18 mg per day, be sure to also eat iron-rich foods such as cooked liver, red meat, lentils and iron-fortified cereal. The highest iron we offer is found in the PrenatalMV. It supplies 27mg of iron in one tablet. Ask your physician if this is enough. Some people need higher amounts of iron to make up for low stores in the body. For these people, we recommend iron supplements in addition to your daily multivitamin.

Link between multivitamins and cancer?

Personal Training Services - Peralta Pro Fitness

Vicente dotFIT Certified Is there any truth to the possible link between multivitamins and cancer? There was a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr 2010;91:1268-72) on this topic that concerned many readers. We have reviewed this study along with others which have found the opposite or no association between breast cancer risk and vitamins. Also, other larger scale studies, such as the U.S. Women’s Health Initiative, have found no link between multivitamin use and the chances of dying, developing cancer and cardiovascular disease. This has been the consistent theme among years of research on multivitamins and cancer in general – no association...
Finally, the experts at the Harvard School of Public health and many others advocate taking a daily multivitamin and mineral for “great insurance policy,” and that extra Vitamin D “may add an extra health boost.” Here’s a link if you’re interested:

Should I eat before I workout?

Yes, you should always eat before a workout, but the timing and size of your meals and snacks will depend on your goal and how long you exercise. If you workout for less than an hour, you don’t need a pre-workout snack as long as your last meal was within 2-3 hours, Otherwise, your energy level may be low, your workout may suffer and you’ll likely be very hungry after the workout. Being overly hungry leads to poor food choices and overeating.
Use the basic timing formula below which can accelerate your progress in any sport and fitness goal including weight loss, performance and/or muscle gain. Try to space your major meals no more than 3-4 hours apart. (The pre and post exercise snacks shown below are not meals).
• Larger pre and post training/event meals:

– Pre-event meal to be eaten approximately 2-3 hours before your major activity

– Post-event meal  to be eaten approximately 1-2 hour following training based on use of a post training supplement as shown below
• Pre and post-training/event snacks: (nutrition bar or shake)

– Pre-training snack should be consumed 10-40 minutes before activity

– Post snack immediately after workout

• Note for early morning training:

– If you train soon after rising and have no time for complete digestion of a large meal consume only the pre-workout snack before exercise

Can you give me some tips for maintaining my weight loss?


PeraltaProFitness
by dotFIT experts
Question: I have lost weight many times but this time I am determined to keep it off. Please give me some tips for maintaining my weight.

Answer: If you are determined to keep the weight off then you will be motivated enough to do what it takes to maintain.  The maintenance phase of weight loss is the most challenging because the excitement of the weight loss experience has come to an end, and the old habits start to creep back.  The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) is an organization of people who have lost weight and maintained it for a year or more. Of the NWCR’s 5000 members, the average person has lost 66 pounds and kept it off for 5.5 years.  Here’s a link where you’ll find more of their data

Nutrition Makes a Difference

PeraltaProFitness


Optimal athletic performance requires food and nutrient intake that is tailored to each athlete’s sport, training schedule and individual needs. Many athletes, especially younger ones, gravitate toward typical eating patterns which can significantly decrease their chances to reach their peak performance. The basics of performance nutrition are discussed here to help maximize your physical potential and reach your performance goals.


Energy is the Foundation for Success

Your daily calorie intake should provide enough energy for all activities, muscle repair and optimal functioning. Energy needs for athletes vary considerably based on individual differences and activity level.  General guidelines are listed below:  
  • Individuals who participate in general fitness (30 to 40 minutes of activity per day, 3 to 5 times per week) can meet their daily needs with 1,800 to 2,400 calories. This equates to approximately 11 to 16 calories per pound per day for people who weigh 110 to 175 lbs. Needs may be greater for those who weigh more.
  • Athletes who train approximately 2 to 6 hours per day, 5 to 6 days a week need ~ 23 to 36 calories per pound of body weight per day. This equates to 2,500 to 8,000 daily calories for athletes who weigh up to 220 lbs.
  • Elite athletes who train or compete heavily need significantly more – up to 12,000 calories per day.
  • Athletes who weigh more than 220 lbs may need approximately 6,000 to 12,000 calories per day depending on training volume and intensity.

Do nitric oxide supplements enhance bodybuilding?


PeraltaProFitness
Answer: To date there is one published study related to the efficacy of NO (nitric oxide) boosters via oral ingestion. The major finding of this recent study was that the nitric oxide booster (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, or AAKG) increased strength and power in resistance-trained men. With recent positive findings and many years of other related data, including relative safety, dotFIT has developed NO7Rage™, an unparalleled supplement that maximizes performance and strength gains for experienced, resistance-trained athletes. The proprietary blend contains, among other specialized ingredients, caffeine, creatine and glucuronolactone. Intravenous arginine supplementation has been shown to increase NO production. However, oral arginine supplementation leads to very little increase in systemic arginine. Interestingly, citrulline, when taken orally, is converted to arginine in the body which leads to significant increases in systemic arginine, enabling the increased production of NO. Increased NO has a vasodilation effect, allowing more nutrients, blood and oxygen to flow into working muscles and waste products and metabolites to be removed, enhancing work capacity, the “PUMP”, and reducing muscular fatigue.
