What Is Better, Compound Exercises or Isolation Exercises?
Compound or Isolation Exercises - What Is Better, Compound Exercises or Isolation Exercises: "Strength training multiple muscle groups at once provides better results"

"Getting in great shape is hard. We have all been through the ups and downs and swear this time we are really going to make it. If we come together as a group and help keep each other motivated and accountable to follow a group fitness program, which consists of a minimum of four cardio sessions each week, three resistance training sessions each week, drinking SXinney water, eating six small meals a day, and tracking our daily progress, we can finally lose the weight that has been bogging us down physically and emotionally for years."

Take measurements and weigh yourself first, and fill in your journal with today’s date. Take a “before” photo of yourself.
Mix 2 oz of Liv SXinney concentrate in water (you should drink half your body weight in ounces every day) to create “SXinney Water”. Drink all day long, from morning until bed time. Mix with alkaline, ionized water for the best results. Or, use the most alkaline bottled water available, like spring water (Arrowhead, Fiji). Do NOT use reverse osmosis water (too acidic) or “purifed” reverse osmosis bottled waters (Dasani, Aquafina, etc.). You can test the alkalinity of water with pH reagent drops available at health food stores. Do not use pH strips that are meant to test saliva or urine, as the test may not be accurate. Do not drink Soda Pop of any kind!!
If you are using Go, take 1 scoop in 4 – 8 oz. of water on an empty stomach when you get up in the morning, and then exercise. If you are not exercising, wait an hour and drink your first glass of SXinney Water. Wait 15 min and have breakfast.

5:30am Upon Awakening: Use Go on an empty stomach!!! When your feet hit the floor. Wait an hour and have your first glass of Liv Sxinney (6-8 oz of Sxinney water). Wait an additional 15 minutes then eat breakfast. You can do an additional scoop of Go at bed to increase growth hormone. You have to take Go on an empty stomach. Go needs to be 1 hr. from other protein so your body can use it. Protein can block the effect.
6:30 am Breakfast: Eat protein, vegetables, or fruit. A couple of eggs scrambled with some vegetables are a great way to start your day, or a protein drink with fresh berries. If you choose a protein drink, make sure that you find one that doesn’t use any artificial sweeteners. I use Optimum Nutrition’s Natural 100 Whey Gold Standard; it comes in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. This drink has no artificial sweeteners and tastes great. Another one that I use is Jay Robbs egg white protein. With protein powder, find one that has about 18-20 grams of protein and only 2-3 grams of carbohydrates. I always have my clients take their carbohydrates in the form of real food. Protein is hard to find, but carbohydrates are everywhere. Remember preparation can help. If you are in a hurry, have a couple of hard boiled eggs and some fruit prepared in advance. Take 2 Blox here.
