Exposure Indoor Rock Climbing – Carrollton, Texas

admin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 04:10:46 +0000

As many of you know when I am not at Neospektiv or building homes, most of my time is spent building relationships with area businesses that I think you will truly love.

Today I found one such gem. I have wanted to stop in at Exposure Rock Gym for some time now (for both myself and to gain some insight for our clients). For those of you that have never tried indoor rock climbing, I strongly encourage you to do so. It is an incredible workout and more importantly it is a blast!

At Exposure Rock Gym I met Chris LaCrasto – one of their route setters and instructors. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable about climbing. He took some time to show me around and tell me about their gym. They have numerous top rope routes and tons of bouldering walls. Their gym is impeccably clean and well kept. I must say it is very impressive! I definitely will be bringing my family back to have some fun climbing.

I highly encourage you to stop by and see what indoor climbing is all about. Round up a couple of your friends and get a great workout in at Exposure Indoor Rock Climbing. I promise you you will have a blast!

Be sure and tell them that Neospektiv sent you!

Here are a couple pictures of their gym:

Giving Back

One thing we love best about Neospektiv is that we have been blessed with the ability to give back to the community that so graciously supports us. More than anything we love helping students and schools as we firmly believe that they are the future. Going through some files today I found a stack of thank you notes from students and staff and it instantly reminded me why we strive so hard to be the best fitness studio in NTX! We love helping other people succeed – this is why we exist!!

Reduce Muscle Damage

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 03:48:22 +0000

A study by Baty et al (2007) concluded that a carbohydrate and protein supplementation before, during, and after your resistance training workout reduced muscle damage more than a placebo alone. Although this study did not show an improvement in performance, it was able to show a decrease in cortisol, creatinekinase, and myoglobin levels in the study group. Also, the study group seemed to have more energy and less muscle soreness 24 hours after the study than the placebo group.

In conclusion, a carbohydrate/protein supplement would be recommended for all athletes looking to reduce muscle soreness. This would reduce the recovery time and allow the athlete to return to training faster.
