    Curvelle Lifestyle Book By Jenny HendershottFull-sized, 128-page color nutrition & training program Easy-to-understand descriptions and photos to show you fun and unusual exercises Fun, delicious, healthy recipes Inspiring solutions to help you overcome obstacles to your Best Body!My fans are sometimes surprised when I tell them I don’t expect to win every show, and I’m just as satisfied with third place as I am with first place if I know I’ve done my best. Life and competition are not about winning. They’re about challenging yourself, getting better, and making progress.Winning and losing are not what makes me who I am. My value does not come from trophies, medals, and first-place checks. My value comes from the lives I touch and the people I help between competitions. Those are the things, in my humble opinion, that make me a champion.The greatest benefit I get from being a world-class fitness competitor is a platform that enables me to help people. The appreciation I receive when I help someone is the coolest feeling in the world to me. That’s why I started Phat Camp, a two-day camp for women to learn about being the best they can be. It’s also why I wrote this book, The Curvelle Lifestyle."Jen shares her passion and energy with women all over the world in all that she does. She understands that we all bring with us a different set of challenges, but at the same time, we can achieve ANYTHING we put our hearts into. Her book is a textbook of inspiration. You set the goal and vision for yourself, and she supplies the tools to accomplish it!"Dana Maney Director of Special Education"What I like best about Jenny Hendershott's Curvelle Lifestyle book is the practical tools and implementation. Many diets and new workout programs are difficult to grasp and hard to follow. Every time I used to begin a new diet or program, I would make a deadline or ending date. I pretty much quit or gave up before I even started the program because I was intimidated and lacked the self-confidence."However, with Jen’s Curvelle book, she is so down-to-earth and honest about the healthy process not only physically, but mentally. Jen’s tools are not just a new diet or program but a new way for a better lifestyle. I can’t wait to get my mother involved, especially with the beginning, intermediate, and advanced phases. Each phase allows you to progress at your own pace and doesn’t demand unrealistic and unobtainable goals and ambitions. The Curvelle Lifestyle is definitely the only foundation for my physical health that I can really implement in my life.”Rebecca Makarova graduate student"I like learning about what a day in the life of Jen Hendershott is like—from her training to her eating to how she builds fitness into her lifestyle. I also like the different workouts and the picture examples of the workout elements she includes. While I really liked all of the sections and information on self-esteem and confidence, I wish there was a bit more specifics on upper body workouts. Overall, excellent book."Jessica Butler Account Supervisor, Saatchi & Saatchi X"This book, like Jen, is very 'real'—there are no gimmicks. She provides you—in an incredibly straightforward way—with all the inspiration, tools, and resources you need to attain your fitness goals. All you need to do is be consistent with the nutrition and training programs and believe in yourself. It's that simple!"Becky Youngberg Human Resources Director"The Curvelle Lifestyle is a great reminder of theBy Jenny Hendershott My fans are sometimes surprised when I tell them I don’t expect to win every show, and I’m just as satisfied with third place as I am with first place if I know I’ve done my best.

    Zantrex-3 Diet Pills.You’re not obese… you just need to lose a quick 10 or 15 pounds… and you want energy… plenty of energy. Well, forget about America’s #1 selling ephedra-based diet pill or any of its ephedrine-based cousins. Now there’s Zantrex-3. Something new, something far beyond ephedrine… a new kind of high-energy diet product so powerful you won’t find it in any Wal-Mart next to some “Flintrock” vitamin for kiddies.It’s called Zantrex3… weight loss formula and if you’re finally ready for a Super-Energy Power Pill with a kick… if you’re ready to handle all life has to offer and more… Zantrex-3 is as close to a sure thing as you’ll ever find.Now let’s talk about weight loss… in a direct comparison of two completely independent published clinical trials1, 2, the active weight loss compound contained in the complex Zantrex-3 formula was shown to produce 546% more weight loss (over and above placebo, of course) than America’s so-called #1 selling ephedra- based diet pill… Don’t believe it?No diet or energy pill anywhere gives you the super xanthine-based, Zantrex-3 formula. No diet or energy pill anywhere gives you continuous, sustained energy to jumpstart your day or take you all through the night… we’re talking about enough energy to tackle anything life throws at you.So if you’re serious about how you look, how you feel, and how well you perform at any level… Zantrex-3 is the one formula you’ve got to have. Zantrex-3 will not be in stores until February 19, 2003.Rapid Weight Loss • Immediate Energy • No Ephedrine To be honest, the old ephedrine-based weight loss compounds were on the cutting edge for years. But time moves on. Scientific knowledge advances… the old is replaced by the new… something more effective. So, after taking Europe by storm, Zantrex™-3 has made “America’s best seller” and its ephedrine-based cousins obsolete… a thing of the past.Published Clinical Studies Don’t Lie A detailed review of published clinical data for the active compounds in both “America’s best seller”1 and Zantrex-3 clearly shows how a new approach to bariatric (obesity) science has helped create a superior weight loss formula. And while it’s difficult to compare scientific studies because of inherent design variance, it’s easy to understand the overwhelming factual record. Clinical Data for “America’s Best Seller” According to a published study conducted using “America’s best seller,” subjects were told to follow a 22-calorie-per-kilogram National Cholesterol Education Program Step One Diet (NCEPSOD) and perform a cross-training exercise program 3 times a week with an exercise physiologist (neither the diet plan nor the personal trainer is included with your purchase of “America’s best seller”). That’s right. Every subject was placed on a calorie-restricted diet, and was provided the services of a personal trainer to maintain a mandatory exercise regimen. Yet, even with the calorie-restricted diet and the mandatory exercise program, the study showed that subjects who used “America’s best seller” for 8 weeks experienced an average weight loss of just under 4.8 ounces per week more than the placebo group (a group of subjects who followed the same diet and exercise program, but took an ineffective sugar pill instead of “America’s best seller”). Yes, you heard right… four point eight ounces. That’s less than one-third of a pound per week better than placebo, for eight weeks – a grand total of less than 2 and 1/2 pounds of additional weight loss after 56 days and nights of diet and exercise when compared to a sugar pill.

  15. Baywood Natto-Z Fibrinolytic Enzyme - 90 Capsules [Preview]
    Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from boiled soybeans and Bacillus natto. Research has shown nattokinase supports the body in breaking up and dissolving unhealthy coagulation of blood and supports fibrinolytic activity. These actions support overall good circulation and thus cardiovascular health. Every tissue in your body relies on your heart to circulate blood through all the blood vessels in your body in order to deliver nutrients and clear waste. How Natto-Z Works Healthy circulation occurs when your blood flows smoothly. Nattokinase doesn't inhibit blood clot formation; it actually works to support healthy circulation by assisting the fibrinolytic blood clearing system, which breaks down cross-linked fibrin protein deposits in the blood.Healthy circulation can do wonders to support total health. When circulation is not balanced, tissues don't get enough nutrients and blood does not clear enough wastes away. Systemic enzymes such as nattokinase support healthy circulation so that tissues can get the nutrients delivered and wastes removed - the way healthy blood circulation should work in the body.DiscoveryDr. Hiroyuki Sumi, MD, a researcher of the Japan Ministry of Education and majoring in physiological chemistry at the blood laboratory of the University of Chicago, had long researched thrombolytic enzymes. Dr. Sumi found that the sticky part of natto, commonly called threads, exhibited a strong fibrinolytic (blood clot dissolving) activity. He named the corresponding fibrinolytic enzyme nattokinase. Dr. Sumi commented that nattokinase showed a potency matched by no other enzyme.ResearchNattokinase has been the subject of 17 studies, including two small human trials.

  16. Natures Benefit Heart Naturally - 60 Capsules [Preview]
    Many things can break the human heart. In spite of major advances in medical research, many people die of a heart attack or cardiovascular disease. This number one cause of death is discussed in detail in Dr. Holt's book entitled “The Natural Way to a Healthy Heart” (M. Evans Publishers Inc., NY, NY, 1999). Dr. Holt has proposed a “cardio plan” for maintenance of heart health which includes the obvious such as weight control, blood pressure control, exercise, cessation of substance abuse, maintenance of psychological wellbeing and moderation of behavior. The dietary supplement industry keeps focusing upon single agents for heart health such as Vitamin E, co-enzyme Q10, ribose and the rest. Again, who would be so naïve enough to believe that a single agent is a solution to the problem of cardiovascular disease? Heart Naturally is a dietary supplement that must not be used in the absence of positive lifestyle changes to promote cardiovascular health. Manufacturers of dietary supplements who minimize the importance of healthy blood cholesterol levels should join “the flat earth society”. Education in the prevention of heart disease is the most important preventive issue. Beyond these obligatory needs, emerge dietary supplements that provide nutritional support for heart health. Over the past decade, the dietary supplement industry has made billions of dollars from the sale of nutritional products for cardiovascular support. It is now time to take stock of the evidence base that exists for nutritional supplements that may support cardiovascular health. Heart Naturally is a complex formulation of natural ingredients that support heart health and it contradicts the current propaganda in the supplement industry that single ingredients can support heart health. Dr. Holt draws attention to Cholesterol Naturally which is a fundamental first line approach to c?
