Positively Ageless

It may seem like an uphill battle to slow down the aging process, but there are natural, proven ways to look younger, feel better and live like age is not a factor. Resistance training is one of the best ways to attain a game-changing body.

Resistance training reduces the markers of oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant activity in the body. oxidative stress comes from a 24/7 lifestyle and can wreck havoc on the body. In order to look younger, the body needs to neutralize the oxidative stress through antioxidant production. Resistance training is one of the most effective ways to accomplish this task.

Resistance training also helps manage glucose control. This is very important for weight management and heart health. When you perform exercise with weights, the body uses glucose (carbohydrates) to produce energy. This process will increase the body’s ability to shed weight and build lean muscle.

The Ageless Workout

You do not need to perform a resistance workout every day. In fact, three days per week is all it takes to experience the many benefits. Incorporate this kettle bell routine into your weekly routine and you will crush calories, burn fat and build lean muscle necessary for antiaging.

Equipment required: 8 to 15 lb. kettle bell

How it Works: Perform three sets of 10 reps each.

Step 1: Stand with feet hip-width and parallel. Hold the kettle bell at hip height. Slightly bend both knees, shift hips back and drop down until torso is close to parallel with the floor. The kettle bell will fall between the legs.

Step 2: Press through the feet, engage glutes and explosively press hips forward. This movement will bring you back to standing. Maintain a straight spine and a strong core the entire time.

Antiaging Secret

Boosting human growth hormone levels has long been believed to be the path to reducing wrinkles, decreasing body fat, increasing long lean muscle mass, strengthening bones and improving mood. In the 1950s, doctors began using hgH injections as a radical new treatment for undersize children; in the 1980s, it was used amongst athletes and body builders to improve performance; and soon after it became the exclusive “youth formula” for the rich and famous. But recently, a way to boost your hgH levels naturally has become popular, thanks to SeroVital-hgH. researchers found that this patented, amino acid, oral compound is able to support the pituitary gland’s production of more youthful growth hormone levels, so your hgH is increased naturally. Now, that’s easy to swallow! Get all the facts at serovital.com or Ulta stores.
