🙋‍♂️ MEET THE HOST - Anthony Amen
My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible. 


Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible. 


Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything.  I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world

What is Magnesium?
According to Examine.com, #Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral and the second most prevalent intracellular cation in the body. It also serves as a cofactor for over 600 enzymes. Most notably, magnesium is required for energy production, carbohydrate metabolism, and DNA and protein synthesis.

Magnesium is also an antagonist of #calcium in the body and is required for vitamin D synthesis and activation. As such, magnesium deficiency can inhibit the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation.[1]

Magnesium is abundant in green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Inadequate magnesium intake is common in developed countries, as Western diets tend to contain a very low content of the aforementioned foods and are rich in refined grains and processed foods, which are poor sources of magnesium.

Magnesium deficiency increases blood pressure, reduces insulin sensitivity, and causes neural excitation. Consequently, low serum magnesium levels are associated with a wide variety of conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis.
https://examine.com/supplements/magnesium/

What are some benefits of supplementing Magnesium?
-Blood Oxidation for Aerobic Exercise
-PMS Symptoms
-Increase In Strength
-Blood Pressure drop (Minimal)
-Migraine Symptoms
-Sleep Quality
-Can be used as a laxative

Dosage & Information:
According to examine.com,
The standard dosage for magnesium for adults is 250–450 milligrams per day (mg/day). However, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for elemental magnesium from dietary supplements is 350 mg/day, because this was the highest dose determined not to cause diarrhea in most people. Magnesium should be taken with food.

Magnesium L-threonate is not recommended to attenuate a magnesium deficiency because it contains less elemental magnesium per dose than other forms. Magnesium oxide and hydroxide are also suboptimal choices because they are very poorly absorbed and gastrointestinal side effects are more common with them. Magnesium citrate and lactate are generally good choices for supplementation.

So you went to the doctor and it turns out you have high cholesterol... Now what?
Millions of people a year are diagnosed with high cholesterol but, what does it mean.

Your total cholesterol is considered high if it is above 200 and all it means it is the total value of your LDL and HDLs.

According to the CDC, #cholesterol  travels through the blood on proteins called “lipoproteins.” Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout the body:

#LDL  (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.

#HDL  (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

When your body has too much LDL cholesterol, the LDL cholesterol can build up on the walls of your blood vessels. This buildup is called “plaque,” and it can cause health problems, such as heart disease and stroke.

According to multiple studies on PUBMED, dietary cholesterol does not increase your overall cholesterol.

Instead, foods high in #saturatedfat such as certain oils and meats can increase your LDL or lousy lipids and can increase your overall cholesterol
The opposite is true for your HDL or happy lipids which can help breakup that plague and make you healthier.

In this video, I address if it's important to have protein after a workout?
Studies show that it may not be a resounding yes, but there are definitely more benefits of getting enough protein then there is of not getting enough protein.
For example, according to an article on Pudmed, it is only important to have protein if you haven't eaten in 5-6 hours either before or after.  If you have, then it won't make things worse but, probably won't make them better either.  
However, the biggest issue is not having enough protein in your diet.
How much #protein should I have?
The RDA for protein right not is 0.8 g/kg/day and this is WAY TOO LOW! 
According to multiple new studies, having upwards of 2.2 g/kg/day is way better for our bodies especially athletes and elderly.
What #kindofprotein should I have?
Just read labels and know the difference between a #wheyprotein blend, isolate and concentrate.

Creatine is the most researched supplement on the market.  With that being said, it is also the most heavily debated, carefully watched and most overwhelming to all amateur weight lifters.

In this episode, I break down all about creatine and I throw a few theories of my own in it. 

What is creatine?
According to examine.com, 
"Creatine is a molecule that is produced in the body from amino acids. It's primarily made in the liver and (to a lesser extent) in the kidneys and pancreas.[1][2] Creatine stores high-energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine. These phosphate groups are donated to ADP to regenerate it to ATP, the primary energy carrier in the body.[3] This role in energy production is particularly relevant under conditions of high energy demand, such as intense physical or mental activity.

Creatine can be found in some animal-based foods and is most prevalent in meat and fish.[4][5] Athletes commonly take it as a powder or in capsules."

What are the primary benefits?
Power and strength are the most well known benefits of creatine. 

What form of creatine should I take?
Creatine Monohydrate

Should I load?
Totally up to you.  Just super important that you drink enough water.

What is the recommended dosage?
5g per day.
