Anaerobic Movement
Weight lifting, or strength training is the most popular form of anaerobic training that has the greatest impact on health, body shaping and metabolism. Keep in mind when we are talking about weight lifting, we are not talking about body building. We are talking about overloading the muscles to improve muscle strength and muscle endurance, like we do at Curves. Let’s talk about strength training and you.
First, we know that strong muscles can improve your posture and help maintain your equilibrium or balance. As we age, balance can be a daily challenge and the risk of a fall can delay or limit your daily fitness regime. We also know that if we do weight bearing activities we can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other bone deficiencies.
Second, having muscle mass that is tight and tone can change the shape of our bodies. While there is no such thing as “spot reducing,” there is “spot training.” Weight training allows us to focus on our specific problem areas. For example, whereas weight training cannot change the elasticity of the skin, it can tighten and tone muscles that are sagging around the under arms and around the upper leg.
Third, stronger muscles can also make everyday activities easier and more efficient such as mowing the lawn, lifting the children, carrying groceries and doing laundry.
Finally, one of the most important benefits of weight training is the impact it has on resting metabolism. Many studies support the fact that if you can increase your muscle mass, you can burn more calories at rest. We know that metabolism is the rate at which energy is being burned in the body. So keep in mind the more muscle mass you have compared to fat mass, increases the rate at which energy/calories is burned.
In addition, studies continue to suggest that vigorous strength training can elevate calorie burning above usual values for several hours after you finish working out. This is a huge benefit. There is nothing like burning extra calories while you are sitting in your car on the way home from Curves. This is called the after burn and we weight lifters love this special perk!

The Benefits of a Vigorous Life - On sale NOW!
Oxygen is the cornerstone for healthy, active living. As we age and/or increase our exercise level, our body has a new, higher demand for oxygen. The extent to which we are able to supply larger amounts of oxygen to our muscles and organs during activity is the extent to which we improve our conditioning and overall cardiovascular and muscular health.
There are certain aerobic factors that are determined by genetics or health issues, the remainder of aerobic efficiency and cardiovascular conditioning can be highly influenced by supplementation. Your muscle functioning is only as good as your body’s ability to fuel it aerobically. The Vigorous Life Aerobic Formula has been created to quickly and efficiently impact exercise performance.
Vigorous Life contains Vitamin T, Dimethylglycine (DMG), Choline Bitartrate and Glycine. Vitamin T is the least well known yet most intriguing of the vitamins known to science. This is due to the fact that most of the research on Vitamin T was carried out by communist military powers and the results were so astonishing that they were immediately classified as secret. Medical researchers know that Vitamin T markedly stimulates development of mature red blood cells, which leads to a stimulation of the anabolic process in protein metabolism.
Vitamin T is also a very powerful hemodilator responsible for improving the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and, in turn, exercise and cognitive function. Vigorous Life also contains substantial amounts of dimethylglycine (DMG), a natural amino-based nutrient compound that directly enhances aerobic efficiency through a number of channels including Lactic Acid dispersion.
Vigorous Life plays a large role in helping to increase nitrogen retention and therefore aid in creating positive nitrogen balance in the body which is essential for losing excess body fat, gaining lean muscle, rehabilitating injury and supporting immune health.
The biochemical mechanisms behind Vigorous Life are varied. Rather than enduring those deep lessons of physiology, we suggest that if you exercise 3 or more times a week, you should definitely take 2 capsules before your daily workout or anytime during the day when you normally feel tired.
Completely natural and safe nutrient based Vigorous Life is the way to go for anyone engaging in aerobic exercise or vigorous activities or lifestyles of any kind. Vigorous Life may be used in conjunction with other supplements, including powerful energy creating products like Cacao Wow.
Vigorous Life typically sells for $40 a bottle. Our introductory price is only $30 for 60 capsules. Or bundle it with CacoWow, one bottle of each for $55 - that is a $15 savings!
