Muscle Training Program, Part 1

Welcome to our Bulk & Muscle Training for body sculpting and muscular development. Bulk & Muscle Training uses advances in nutrition and exercise to produce maximum results with a minimum investment of time and expense. The basis of the system is our Bulk & Muscle Formula drink mix which combines protein and enzyme technology with micronutrient supplementation to be used in conjunction with a specialized state-of-the-art, high-intensity workout system.

Today, muscular training is no longer the sole property of competitive bodybuilders. Resistance training has become an accepted part of a complete fitness program and is recommended by the American Heart Association. It is also recognized as contributing to sports performance for teens, amateurs and professionals, and enhances older individuals' lifestyles and independence. Science has demonstrated that virtually anyone can profit from regular weight training. Benefits include increased strength, vitality, well-being, poise and confidence.

An area of particular interest is weight control. For many years science has recognized the benefit of endurance or cardiovascular training as an aid to weight loss by increasing the caloric output of the body. In the last few years weight training has become popular for dieters because of its ability to change body shape and muscularity as well as burn calories. As your muscle tone and size increases through weight training, your metabolic rate during exercise and rest increases as well. This makes it easier to create an energy balance that favors reducing body fat and losing unwanted weight.

The programs and principles described in this series are not only designed for beginners who have never lifted weights, but also for elite bodybuilders looking for new techniques to break plateaus or enhance growth. Whether you are interested in muscle toning, body sculpting or putting on mass and size, you will find value in this program.

Ladies, resistance training is for you too! Don't think you may become "bulky." Your hormones simply won't allow that. We recommend that you use our ShapeWorks™ Formula 1 Protein Drink mix, our ShapeWorks™ Protein Drink and our Personalized Protein Powder. You may begin with much lighter weights than a man would but, as you will learn, it is not the weight of the weights that is important!

You need resistance training to maintain muscle tone and bone for longevity and good health. You'll have more energy and have a sleeker physique as well as enjoy the benefits of a strong, healthy body. We encourage you to step into the world of weight training today.
