If somake sure you do your research into the contents of the product. Pre-workout drinks can be harmful if you have high blood pressure, heart problems or even if youre pregnant. Be sure to consult an experienced supplier or even your local GP. Another thing about supplements: you need to cycle off them especially with creatine products, so your body keeps producing its own creatine without becoming reliant on the supplement. Otherwise the body adapts to the creatine being put into it, and it slows or stops producing natural hormones and chemicals. An easyway to cycle your supplements is use for 12 weeks then cycle off for a whole four weeks before starting again. This will give your body time to get back to its normal creatine production cycle as well as give you a boost when starting again. Also remember a supplement is not a replacement. So dont sacrifice any natural alternative for the product you want to use. WORKOUTOFTHEWEEK Shuttle Run: Set out sixmarkers 15mapart.

The unspoken disease New ads compare colon cancer to terrorism BUMRAP: A giant colon was put in Martin Place in Sydney to urge people to get tested for bowel cancer I lost a young staffmember a guy in his late 30s, non smoker, non drinker, a fitness fanatic ... bang it was bowel cancer ... he was gone in six weeks IF A dozen Australians were killed in a terrorist attack then it would dominate news headlines for weeks yet thismany lives are lost to bowel cancer every day. A confronting cancer awareness campaignwill highlight this disparity, and its ads depicting a terrorist attack on Australian soil will soon hit the nations television screens. Gut Foundation of Australia president Professor Terry Bolin said the campaignwas deliberately hardhitting, but this was justified by Australians lack of understanding of a cancer which, if detected early, was usually curable. This campaign is confronting, Prof Bolin said. Here is a scene of sunny Sydney with a black cloud over the horizon, people running hither and thither, body bags everywhere if that happenedwith bowel cancer it would be front page news. Wewant to it to be front page news people should not die from bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is Australiasmost common cause of cancer death in non smokers, with 13,500 cases diagnosed in 2006 andmore than 3800 deaths. Prof Bolin says Australians should talk with their GPs about having a test for the cancer which typically develops later in life although one in 10 cases occur before the age of 50. The advertisement is expected to run from early next year. Its productionwas supported by advertising guru and Australian businessman John Singleton, who said a bowel cancer awareness campaign had been on his to-do list for about 20 years. His consciencewas pricked by the loss of a youngworker to bowel cancer. I lost a young staffmember a guy in his late 30s, non-smoker, nondrinker, a fitness fanatic, Mr Singletonsaid. Hewasmisdiagnosedwith gallstones andwhen they opened him up bang it was bowel cancer which had spread to his liver ... he was gone in six weeks. Mr Singleton said part of the problemwas peoples unwillingness to talk about their bowel, unlike breast cancer. Yet almost twice asmanywomen die frombowel cancer than those who die frombreast cancer. I didnt realise that bowel cancer was so easily detectable and 99 per cent preventable if you get it early enough it doesnt go to your liver or pancreas or lungs, Mr Singleton said. Sydney lawyerMandi Chonowitz, 27, also attended the launch, where she detailed her recovery since she was diagnosedwith bowel cancer three years ago. I dont even think people at 24 even speak about colon cancer, she said, adding it was an particularly unsexy disease.
