Shake It Up!!

Remember that old 1981 Song by the CARS called Shake It Up?
Well many of you may not, but I always loved the CARS and that song is one of my favorites.

Well that isn't really important in the big scheme of things. What is important is getting enough daily protein in your Personal Eating Plan. In my personal training practice I see it every single day. People struggling to get enough High-Quality protein into their P.E.P.

Sometimes it's just because they are not used to paying attention to how much they need and how much they actually get. Other times it is due to poor planning and sometimes they just don't want to cook and eat another meal. With these challenges in mind we created our TNT Lean Mass Support Whey Protein blend.

Whipping up a tasty protein shake is a quick and easy way to get some all important Amino Acids into your system without the hassle of lots of prep time. Just get a few simple ingredients together, add them to a blender and in a minute or two you have delicious nutritious meal ready to go.
With this in mind I have created Ten simple and delicious Chocolate Protein Shake recipes. Grab your blender, a big container of TNT Lean Mass Support (or your favorite Chocolate Protein Powder) and get ready for the flavor.

When it comes to women and strength training—especially women over 50—the myths run deep and wide. As a coach with decades of experience helping people of all ages and abilities get stronger, I’ve seen firsthand how damaging these outdated ideas can be. But here’s the truth: strength training is not just for young athletes or men who want to get "jacked." In fact, if you’re a woman over 50, strength training might be the most powerful tool you have to reclaim your health, boost your confidence, and age with strength and grace.

Let’s set the record straight: losing your balance as you age is not inevitable. Despite what many believe, balance isn’t something you just “lose” over time like your hairline or your car keys. The truth is, most balance issues that show up later in life stem from something far more preventable—loss of strength and muscle mass.
