Health Tip

Defense Soap is a soap line developed for wrestlers by wrestlers. Our all-natural ingredients have been clinically proven to have anti-fungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. Simply using our soap line after competing or after practice will help protect you or your athlete from ringworm, impetigo, MRSA, Herpes, jock itch and athlete’s foot. Visit our website and read the research which has been conducted on our ingredients and our bar specifically.

Each product in our line has been developed on a “need to have basis”. As wrestlers yourself you know the struggles we face with skin infections. Clean mats are a must but they become contaminated the second one wrestler steps foot on it. At Defense we decided we needed a simple solution that every wrestler could use. We developed Defense Soap considering all wrestlers hopefully shower after working out. It is here where we can help prevent some of these skin infections by simply providing a soap with anti-fungal (ringworm, athlete’s foot & jock itch) antibacterial (impetigo & MRSA) and antiviral (Herpes) properties.

Defense Soap (bar) and Defense Shower Gel should be used in place of your regular soap when showering after practice or competition.

Defense Body Wipes are great for when you can’t get to the shower. They work well in between matches at a tournament or after practice in the event you didn’t shower before the ride home. A perfect example of this is youth wrestlers. Equipment, such as headgear, can also be wiped down with Defense Body Wipes.

Defense Oil and Defense Healing Salve are in our line in the event we do get ringworm. Defense Oil is 100% of our active ingredients. If they are applied to new ringworm they can eliminate it in one application. More developed ringworm may take two to three applications but when followed up with Defense Healing Salve you will see results quicker than imagined.

Wrestlers, as mentioned earlier, developed Defense products. Cost effectiveness is always a concern when dealing with a wrestling budget. Using Defense can save on the cost incurred when dealing with skin infections. Anyone not satisfied with the research provided on our website or with any Defense product may return the unused portion for a full refund. Please visit www.defensesoap.com and read our FDA disclaimer.

HIIT Your Cardio Hard
By Zach Bashore

High-Intensity Interval Training is a workout strategy that is intended
to increase results with shorter training sessions. High-Intensity
Interval Training, or HIIT, is one of the best methods for muscle
retention and fat loss. Studies have shown that long endurance
activities such as aerobics cause the breakdown of muscle tissue, which
is why HIIT should be emphasized. HIIT and interval training are very
similar and the only difference between them is the intensity in which
they are done. Interval training is a varying of intensities within a
workout, where you add a low-intensity session with a high-intensity
session.

You can perform your interval training in many ways, and you should
also use variety. It can be done on a stairmaster, mountain bike,
local track, or a stationary bike. As with all methods of exercise,
you should rotate the type of exercise you do to keep your body
from adapting. If you desire longer-lasting results, cardiovascular
work should be a priority on your fitness to-do list. Your main
emphasis in exercise should be for cardio health, strength-training,
and for flexibility. As with most cardio exercise, you should track
your heart rate, distance, intensity, length, target heart rate,
calories burned, and cool-down time.

One of the great things about HIIT is that it can be applied to
other activities as well. Running stairs, riding a stationary bike,
a stair-stepper, or any activity where you can shift from high
intensity to low intensity will work wonders. Let's say that you're
going to add HIIT to running sprints or steps. Start working in
intervals! Jog for a certain amount of time, sprint for a certain
amount of time, followed by a short jogging session, and keep
repeating a certain sequence until your time is finished.

We've always been told that low-intensity aerobic exercise is the
best method for ridding the body of unwanted fat. However, new
research proves this opinion to be false. The reason that this
low-intensity opinion of cardio exercise came about is a study that
showed that lower intensity cardio burns a greater percentage of
calories from as opposed to carbs. In research, HIIT has been
shown to burn fat 50% more effectively that that of
lower-intensity exercise. HIIT speeds your metabolism and keeps
it running at a fast rate for up to 16 hours after your workout.
The bottom line is that HIIT burns a higher number of calories
than that of lower-intensity.

If you are looking to burn fat quickly, HIIT is the way to go.
However, not everyone's responds properly to this method.
Diabetics whose body already has problems managing carbs should
not train with HIIT. Other people who have just started a workout
program should start with low-intensity and slowly start
incorporating intervals as they get more advanced. The demands
of HIIT can only be used by experienced trainees because newbies
will simply give up after the first day of hard work. Take
things one day at a time and the results will be experienced at
a later time.
