our bags are made with a water-repellent material so we don't say to stand in the rain all day long with it but we will say if you're breezing through the rain you're walking through the rain especially because it's winter time you can be rest assured that the bags will hold up and repel most of the water again and in that light drizzle that you're running maybe from your car to your office to the job to the gym definitely a good question there Wendy Holly does say that was which was Mitch Freitas doesn't miss Freitas great question makes we appreciate Wendy Holly how is your bag better than six pack that's another brand in the meal prep category we know them more power to them being Fitmark we believe that we stand alone in the meal prep category highest quality best customer

Envoy which also we'll talk about in a second has a removable meal prep bag at the bottom the cruiser our newest innovation which is a roller bag perfect for travel perfect for flights has also our

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

friday at the end of this month yeah thanksgiving but we also go into december which we know is holiday time lots of shopping happening our site gets blown up uh like it does now but almost on triple time for november december yesterday shoutout to everybody who was on the site yesterday had an unbelievable day lots and lots of bags were being sold to our fans and customers we love you for that possibly because we were hooking everybody up and still are today we're throwing in one of our dispensers with all of the orders today so let's get started with the show so you get a little idea what's happening ask any question in the comments below hashtag ask fit mark if your question gets answered you win a free bag we'll get a hold of you after this show like we always do will tell you which bag you're going to get hooked up with we got a lot going on in here uh let's also make sure you go ahead and share this video last week we had I don't know 400 500 shares alone why because it's an easy way for you to possibly get chosen to be able to pick a bag of your choice yes if you share the video while we're going live you are going to get automatically entered you don't even have to ask a question you just get automatically entered to possibly win a free bag and that one of your choice so go ahead and share this live video now we're going to get into few questions from the past show which again was last week we're going to answer those and then we're going to go directly into the questions that are being asked right now now don't forget that if you ask questions right now and your question doesn't get picked don't worry why it's simple because next week we're going to go ahead and do another show and we're going to choose three of those questions three of the questions from today's show so you may just be a winner so go ahead keep asking those questions don't worry if it doesn't get picked today we might have some love for you on the next show Marjorie Lucas oh my god those bento boxes are sick are they going to be stackable and easy to fit in other meal prep bags like the box and the shield phenomenal question she is referencing the bento boxes that we are coming out with and they'll be available for pre-order in a couple weeks and start shipping by the middle of next month yes we're first to do a lot of things in the meal prep bag category one of which is our accessories which were known for the high quality and durability of our accessories specifically our meal containers which many of you know we offer our 16-ounce all for lock system bpa-free dishwasher safe microwave safe but they're the toughest meal prep containers on the market all bags and our meal prep bad category of course come with the 32 ounce these are the bad boys but we definitely added our 16 ounce which are on the site and then coming to you with the phenomenal bento boxes two different designs here's one has three sections one of which is a removable bull type for salad dressings you can put some soups in here and then of course we have a second bento a design that is a little bit different it's got five sections within it same quality nothing like it on the market and of course we are first to offer this in the meal prep bag category going into whether or not they are stackable the answer is absolutely so I'm going to take the shield as a for instance and i'm going to move our center divider out of the way and i'm going to show you that this now goes in like so i've got the second one close this bad boy up like so so great question glad you asked they'll be available in a couple weeks and we will get into the second question Jennifer Cap'n what's the best time of day to work out any time any time I'm a believer that you should get your workout in morning afternoon night whatever suits you we all have things that we're going to be doing during the day could be work could be family you got to organize the schedule to make sure you fit in the most important piece of the day which is your work out what kind of work out any work out see the theme there any time any work out I don't care if you do CrossFit you pump iron you do Zumba you go to Barry's bootcamp whatever you like is what you should be doing because a fit body is a fit mind so good question Stacey Bauer is there free shipping if you order over a hundred dollars worth of bags at the same time no why because it's free shipping for $75 or more so we hope that you're excited that we won up that point and that is that us uh- what is in Hawaii and Alaska yeah okay free shipping $75 or more many of you take advantage of that and even if you did again for us the flat rate is only six dollars so let's do some housekeeping before we get your questions right now again keep asking

future because leading up to the holidays Black Friday going into December Hanukkah Christmas Kwanzaa we got it all we're going to be doing these shows every single week in hopes that you get hooked

down that beautiful bag to you for giving them some love mark Zerbe what's up mark with so many new container selections will you let us select which boxes we get when we order a new bag that's a good question that would be a tough one so for right now the containers the meal prep containers that we have selected for each bag are already are already chosen but it may be a good idea for the future that we of course will look into because we love getting feedback we bring it to the team we all talk about it and then we hopefully apply some of that magic on our future on our future bag selections the containers the meal containers he's talking about of course is the announcement that we are the first to bring out a bento style box yep just like this those will be on pre order in the next couple weeks start shipping in December here is the second version of it comes with a removable bowl which is pretty sweet put your salad dressings in here maybe your mixed nuts or a little bit of

switched over maybe you've got it too I'm sure everybody tries a new protein mix uh but I've recent he switched to a plant-based protein shake actually currently taking a brand called Vega uh I've noticed that it makes me feel a lot better so nothing against way or milk based proteins I still eat a bar every so often that's a way or milk-based however for me I've noticed that a plant-based protein makes me feel a lot better sharper faster a little little bit more settling on the stomach so I mix up my Vega protein powder with some orange juice take that bad boy in and that has been my post-workout snack for many many years let's do another uh another another one that wants to know what's my favorite protein bar brand you know uh I do eat protein bars I'm sure you do too um I can eat uh I can eat a quest bar um usually can't eat a whole thing there's a few things in the ingredients that that's not to settling for me so I definitely will eat a half a quest for every so often I like DS naturals he's using a a plant-based protein I think those are awesome I've been eating those recently um but I usually like to stick to a real foods if I possibly can so I do definitely get those those snacks in as you know we launched i won organics which is the organic plant based protein chip so as you can imagine especially even here in this office I eat those possibly daily uh so that is a good question congratulations uh let's do another and then we'll get into the questions that you're asking now don't forget ask any question in the comments below we're about to get into

Eating Before Bed: Sleep Can Make You Actually Fat?

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

When you’re sleeping, this is considered as fasting. If you get enough sleep, like at least 7-9 hours every night, then you are going a long time without sustenance. If you wanted to gain muscle mass, this shouldn’t be the case.

Even going for more than a couple of hours without food and your blood sugar starts to drop. This is due to the fact that the brain runs on glucose and the body reacts to this by breaking down muscle protein. It converts amino acids to glucose so your brain can use it. To make it simpler, the body is eating your muscle mass fuel your brain.

Fact or Fiction: Eating Before Sleep Will Make You Fat

When you sleep, you are, in effect, fasting. If you get the adequate sleep that a hard-training bodybuilder should — seven to nine hours per night — you are going a long time without food. You wouldn’t go that long between meals during the day if you wanted to gain muscle mass. Read more…

Healthy Simple Life talks about the five reasons to eat before bedtime. We’ve all had that one night when we’re about to sleep and then out of the blue, our stomachs just grumble. But we’re afraid of getting up and heading to the kitchen because of little monsters (calories) that we think might sew our clothes a little tighter.

Wisdom tells us that food will not be given the change to be digested properly. Hence, it will result to storing fat. Apparently, we’re still thinking that the habit of eating before bed makes us fat. What’s the truth then?

This is actually a myth and you shouldn’t fall for it! You just need to find the right and healthy bedtime snack. Moreover, it will actually boost your metabolism. A snack can keep your blood sugar levels more stable than sleeping on an empty stomach.

5 Reasons Why You SHOULD Eat Before Bed

It’s three hours past dinner and you’re getting ready for bed, when you feel the familiar grumble in your tummy. You’ve been told over and over again that eating before bed will make you fat; that eating before bed provides unnecessary calories; that you shouldn’t eat after [insert time here].Read more…

Born Fitness tells us about the myth-turned-to-“fact”:  no snacks after 6 pm. What’s the deal with this? It might have started when a study showed results that people who skipped breakfast had a significant increase in their risk for obesity. Then, the importance of breakfast was interpreted as “eating at night will make you fat.”

The fear of night eating is not rational. One thing should be clear before you read anything else: when you have meals, it does not directly impact your weight gain. Let’s elaborate further.

If skipping breakfast makes you pig-out the entire day, then breakfast is the right choice for you. If you’re always binge-eating at night, then you should monitor your night eating habits. These are all triggers and they’re dependent on your reactions to eating patterns.

Eating At Night Does Not Make You Fat

Many of those opinions were sparked by a University of Massachusetts medical school study that found people who routinely skipped breakfast had a significantly higher incidence of obesity than those who ate eggs and an English muffin. Read more…

Reasons Why You Actually Don’t Have To Exercise Every Day

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Time.com updates us about the best and the healthiest habit: exercise. This is by far, the best measure in preventing chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer. It is reported to be one of the ways to avoid an early death. Taking a look at its numerous benefits, it’s a wonder why we don’t do it every day.

Well, the thing is, we have our hectic schedules to worry about and it’s hard to even put a routine workout into our busy work week. Health experts suggest that an average of 150-minute moderate activity can do the trick. If you’re really pressed for time, then 75 minutes of intense, breathtaking moves each week.

Because of a lot of factors and reasons, it’s not realistic for everyone to do a daily workout. Researchers wanted to find out whether weekend warriors (those who cram on their weekly exercise routine over the weekend)  get the same benefits as those who religiously exercise every day. Surprisingly, the new study released in JAMA Internal medicine suggests that frequency does not have a significant effect on longevity.

Why You Don’t Have to Exercise Every Day

Exercise is one of the best ways to avoid chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer, as well as an early death. But it can be tough to squeeze into a schedule: Health experts recommend about 150 minutes of moderate activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous, breath-sapping exercise, each week. Read more…

Shape.com reports that you don’t have to sweat it out every day at the gym just to be healthy. The study emphasizes that working out once or twice a week over the weekend may just give you the same benefits.

The scientists analyzed the data that involved 64,000 adults and discovered that those who were categorized as “active”, including the weekend warriors, had 30 percent less risk of death than those who are living a sedentary lifestyle or those who exercised less. In general, those who are active have better health. The surprising bit  is that the frequency does not play a bigger role than what we previously thought.

This leads us to conclusion that you can play with numbers in this game. To get the basic health benefits, you just need to hit the 150 minute mark of moderate workout or 75 minutes of vigorous activity every week. Awesome, isn’t it?

More Proof That Any Exercise Is Better Than No Exercise

Calling all weekend warriors: Exercising once or twice a week, say on the weekends, may give you the same health benefits as if you worked out daily, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Read more…

ArsTechnica went into the full details how the research team achieved these results. The researchers monitored deaths among the different group levels, focusing on cardiovascular and cancer deaths. They got information about the risk of death for each group, while taking into consideration the other factors such as smoking, illnesses, age, and socioeconomic status.

Moreover, they presented results that reveal the insufficiently active had a 31 percent decrease in mortality, weekend warriors get 30 percent reduced risk, and active people had a 35 percent lower risk.

The authors summarized that even less activity might still offer considerable healthy effects for the body. Working out once or twice a week can provide you those benefits, even if it’s outside the standard physical activity guidelines.

Don’t Have Time To Work Out During The Week? That’s Actually OK

Your workout schedule may have just gotten a lot more flexible: that is, whether you try to fit in a brisk exercise routine every day before dinner or just go big on the weekends after sitting at your 9-to-5 all week—it may not actually matter to your overall health. Read more…

As time is of the essence, here’s POPSUGAR Fitness and their 10-Minute No-Equipment Home Workout, Full Body Exercise. You can include this in your weekend warrior session!

If you want to stay true to your Weekend Warrior status, here’s a good gym companion that can keep up with your busy lifestyle, and hectic schedule. 

The Fitmark Namaste Tote is one hell of a bag. This is a gym/travel/Yoga bag. Three functions all rolled into one. It’s the perfect tote for anyone who is always on-the-go. It’s also quite comfortable to carry. More than that, it can totally accommodate the rest of your stuff. Check it out:

Listen Up: The Myth About Lifting Weights

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Emily Skye gives us tips about the kind of workout that gives her that ultimate body. Would you believe that she doesn’t require endless hours of cardio? The thing is, Skye rarely ever does pure cardio. Most of her workouts are circuits: a combination of high-intensity intervals in weight lifting and body-weight strength exercises.

She says that the most effective way to torch fat is weight lifting. This means that she doesn’t need to do cardio to get her into great shape. If it’s a strength workout, you’re playing with your metabolism here. It continues to burn even up to two days after your session at the gym. This is the best effect that weight-lifting has.

Ladies, we know what you’ll ask next. You’re not going to get all manly. Please believe us. It’s going to take you endless training, food, and supplements before you actually get a form like The Hulk. Skye says it’s not just going to happen accidentally. Deliberate training and diet and supps make you gain a lot of muscle.

Emily Skye Debunks the Biggest Myth About Lifting Weights

Being as fit as Emily Skye doesn’t require hours and hours of cardio. In fact, Skye very rarely does straight-up cardio. The vast majority of her workouts are circuits that combine high-intensity intervals with weight lifting and body-weight strength exercises. Read more…

The Daily Burn has the same opinion about weightlifting. You won’t believe all the conflicting information about it. It’s easy to get viral especially when everyone thinks they’re trainers.  Moreover, it gets difficult to sort through fact from fiction. Now, it’s time for you to be well-informed when it comes to debunking various myths so you can be aware the next time you lift those weights.

Top number 1 myth: weights will make you bulk up. Rachel Cosgrove, CSCS, says that women get hesitant in starting a weightlifting program because of this. If you’re not consuming tons of calories, your muscle will only grow to a healthy, normal level that is even beneficial to your metabolism. What it does is that it increases your metabolic system. It’s not easy to grow humongous muscles as what most women think.

In order for you to get a leaner physique, lifting weights and proper nutrition should do the trick. Check out more of these here:

The 8 Biggest Myths About Weightlifting — Debunked

Conflicting information about weightlifting is as easy to come by at the gym as faux tans and tank tops. And when everybody thinks they’re a trainer, it can be hard to separate fact from fiction (hence: the growing field of “broscience”). Read on for the truth about common muscle myths, so you can be better informed next time you head to the weight rack. Read more…

Breaking Muscle discusses the top two myths about women and lifting weights. It’s like no matter how much information we present, this is something that’s similar to an undying folklore. It lives and the stories get passed on to the next person who’s unaware of the truth.

Tip number 1: there’s really no form of training or tool that will change the form of your muscle. It’s really up to genetics to decide that one. Any other exercise is really not going to do the trick. On the other hand, you can change the muscle size and thebody fat levels through training. The most important part in this case is diet. Be as lean as you can be and take note of the things that you put in your body.

Remember, the best thing to do when you’re on a diet is not eating crappy food in the first place. A cheeseburger has 308 calories and you’d have to run for half an hour just to burn those cals. Find out more about these tips here:

2 Myths About Women And Weight Lifting Debunked

It’s long been female gym folklore that to get lean you do high repetitions with a light load to “tone and shape,” while at the same time telling those looking to get bigger that they need to lift heavy. Let’s look at a few misconceptions around this advice. Read more…

Take a look at this interactive video from PictureFit. It tackles: “Should Women Lift Weights? (Women Lifting Heavy Weights – Good or Bad?)” 

If you’ve been thinking about weight lifting for quite some time now, then it’s time to get started. But before you do, you might want to check out this great addition to your gym gear.

Make A Difference To Your Brain Health: Boost Your Brain With The Mediterranean Diet

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Web MD says that those who switched to this diet lost less brain volume. A study has concluded that for older adults, this kind of eating habit might be even more beneficial for brain health.

Scotland researchers analyzed the brain volume of older adults in a span of three years. The team discovered that those who closely stuck to eating habits similar to Mediterranean countries were less likely to lose brain volume. A Mediterranean diet consists mainly of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, and beans. The results found that the older adults get to retain more brain volume compared to those who did not follow the diet.

The new study implies that the possible mechanism is in preserving brain volume. This is according to Luciano, from the University of Edinburgh. The diet focuses on fruits, vegetables, olive oil, beans, grains, fish, dairy, wine and limited red meat or poultry.

Michelle Luciano, the study’s lead author, says that the research is accumulating data in order to exhibit the protective effects of the diet and its possible impact on normal cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.

More Signs Mediterranean Diet May Boost Your Brain

Researchers in Scotland examined the brain volume of hundreds of older adults over three years. The investigators found that people who more closely followed the eating habits common in Mediterranean countries — lots of fruits, vegetables, olive oil and beans — retained more brain volume compared to those who did not. Read more…

US News says that experts are familiar with the concept of aging: everything declines and that would also mean the brain shrinks and loses cells. This eventually leads to learning and memory problems, according to Luciano.

She included as well that age is one of the biggest factors in volume loss. This factor has the largest effect. The Mediterranean diet was helpful in reducing volume loss. This is something that she finds impressive. The scientist said that there’s no apparent link to fish or meat intake so it may be other components or the diet itself that gives the benefit.

The variety of foods may even preven inflammation and vascular diseases that contribute to shrinkage.

Heather Snyder, the director of medical and scientific operations for the Alzheimer’s Association, explains that this confirms what they’ve witnessed before. Plus, the new data adds more insight about the subject. 

More Signs Mediterranean Diet May Boost Your Brain

For the study, Luciano’s group collected dietary information from almost 1,000 Scots, about age 70 and free of dementia. More than half had a brain scan at age 73. The scans measured overall volume, gray matter and the thickness of the cortex — the brain’s outer layer. Read more…

Health Day tells us that after three years, the 401 study participants had another measurement. After gathering other factors like education, diabetes, high blood pressure, or age, they found that a good outcome was observed for those who observed the Mediterranean-style.

Snyder said that one of the study’s strengths involves the fact that the participants were all residents of Scotland. This leads us to the conclusion that it’s likely to have less variation in factors that affect brain health. Furthermore, she adds that overall dietary practices affect cognitive function.

More Signs Mediterranean Diet May Boost Your Brain

The Alzheimer’s Association recommends following the Mediterranean diet or the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, developed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The association’s reasoning is that what’s good for the heart is also good for the brain. Read more…

The study authors admit that more research is needed to establish the connection between brain volume retention and the diet. While this is the case, it’s better to have preventive measures ready. Start with a healthy diet, a regular exercise, and manage risk factors like diabetes and hypertension.

The Best Moves To Relieve Tight Muscles

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Men’s Fitness tells us about the right time to do these moves. They tapped Jen Barnet from Xcyle Vegas and asked about these stretches. She says that she always makes sure her clients do the moves after class, and even during the week.

The best time to stretch would be in the morning. You’ve slept for hours and you haven’t been active for the entire night. If you take just a few minutes to stretch, you’ll be feeling refreshed the entire day.

The 2 Stretches You Should Be Doing Every Day

The Basics: Perform Functional Movement Patterns

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

The DailyBurn tells us that these are the moves that trainers want you to master. The movement patterns are effective in terms of performing your daily routine. These are foundational moves that your body relies on.

Simple tasks like pulling a box, squatting, or walking around all day take up most of our day-to-day typical activities. Learn how to execute these well using the tips below:

7 Functional Movement Patterns Trainers Want You to Master

But these movements have deeper roots in our wellbeing, says holistic coach and certified strength and conditioning specialist Jator Pierre, CSCS. To get the full picture, you’ve got to go back — way back. “If you look at it from an evolutionary perspective, we’d have to use all of these movement patterns to survive,” he says. Read more…

Built Lean gives us a detailed breakdown of these moves. They view these as “primal moves” and they refer to it as something that’s completely different than the gym model that we portray in modern times.

They have a great point in stating the differences between the primal model versus the modern gym rat. Activities in the primal times involve the use of the entire body whereas humans in the recent generation live a sedentary lifestyle.

This is where the function of the patterns comes in.

7 Primal Movement Patterns For Full Body Strength

My guess is that you would be lean, strong and fit, with a well proportioned body. You would be a very athletic and active version of your current self. And the best part is you wouldn’t have to step foot into a gym and “workout” to get these impressive results. Read more…

Reasons Why You Should Train With Parallette Bars

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Equinox discusses why so many trainers like this tool. These bars are so great that they provide a different approach in bodyweight training. If you want to build a powerful body, take this tip from gymnasts. Lifting your own weight and moving it around means you’ve got to have enough stamina and strength.

When you use parallettes, you get to experience gymnastics-inspired training without defying gravity. Chris Chang used P bars in college to train for his pole-vaulting exercises. He is a Tier 3 trainer at Equinox New York’s 53rd Street location. Serena Tom, on the other hand, is a recent convert. She is a New York City-based yoga instructor.

Chang said that it is essential for shoulder and core strength. It also helped him learn how to flow from one move to another. Tom said that it helped her enhance her yoga practice as it improved her body control.

Why Trainers Love Parallettes

To build a powerful body that moves as well as it looks, take a training cue from some of the fittest athletes in the world: gymnasts. Lifting your own weight and moving it around an apparatus takes serious muscle stamina and strength. And with parallettes you can get the benefits of gymnastics-inspired training without defying gravity. Read more…

Muscle and Fitness talks about improving your abs and your core muscles using a certain exercise. The L-Sit is the secret to getting stronger and shredded. This is a deceptively challenging move that can blast your triceps and abs.

A gymnast shows well-formed triceps and abs. These gymnasts don’t lift weights. However, they make sure that they use their body weight as resistance. It may be hard to imitate their movements but there is one exercise that you can execute. This can hit your abs and your triceps.

You might say that it’s pretty easy when you look at these pictures but it’s pretty deceiving. The move is brutal and it can take a lot of your strength. Though this is the case, it’s totally worth it because of the benefits that you can get.

Master The L-Sit To Get Stronger And Shredded

They do, however, use their own body weight as resistance, and while it would be difficult to replicate many of the gymnasts’ signature moves in a conventional gym, there is one you can do that will target your triceps and abs like no other exercise: the L-sit. Read more…

Men’s Fitness shows that these are the five must try moves with parallette bars. This is a pretty affordable piece of equipment. You don’t have to be a gymnast in order to reap the strength training benefits. All you need is the tool and some space at home.

The ultimate benefit is that you get elevated off the ground. This leads to a deeper range of motion during movements. There are five exercises to choose from, from the easiest to the hardest.

The first one: Dips. You have to start the move by ensuring that your elbows are locked out and your feet are on the ground. Then, lower your hips toward the floor. Press back up. If you want to make it more challenging, elevate your feet on a bench or a medicine ball.

Get Big: 5 Must-Try Moves With Parallette Bars

YOU DON’T HAVE to be a gymnast to take advantage of the strength training benefits that you can accomplish with parallel bars. In fact, you don’t even need access to a gymnastics gym—just purchase a pair of parallettes (little parallel bars) for your home gym. For about $50 you can buy a pair of wooden parallettes. Read more…

Calisthenicmovement shows us a video about the Parallette Training for Beginners:

While you’re doing your workout and once you’ve finally decided to switch to parallette bar training, it might be a good idea to check out a possible upgrade for your workout gear. You might want to look into Fitmark’s listing for that one.
