Atherosclerosis - a form of arteriosclerosis affecting the intima (inner lining) of the artery walls
Lipoproteins - carriers of fat in the blood
Serving Size - The specific amount of food resulting from a recipe.
Complex carbohydrates - starches, such as grains, breads, rice, pasta, vegetables and beans. They get their name from their complex, chainlike structure. During digestion, starches are typically broken down into sugars and used by the body for energy. Because simple carbohydrates, like glucose, are immediately available and complex carbohydrates must be broken down, complex carbohydrates offer a more sustained energy level than simple carbohydrates
Daily Value (DV) - reference values developed by the FDA to describe the amount of a nutrient used as the standard for labeling purposes. DVs are comprised of two sets of standards: DRVs and RDIs
Eccentric contraction - A contraction where the muscle lengthens, such as when you lower a weight in your hand but resist the lowering. A dynamic action because of joint movement. This kind of contraction -- for example in your quadricep muscle when you run downhill -- tends to cause the most post-exercise muscle soreness.
Fat - also known as adipose tissue. Animal tissue containing glycerol and fatty acids
RDI - (reference daily intakes) food labeling values for protein, vitamins and minerals based on population- adjusted means of the RDA
Saturated fat - fatty acids that have all the hydrogen they can hold on their chemical chains. They mainly come from animal foods such as lard and should be restricted in the diet
Strain - an injury to the tendon or muscle

The 5 lb. kettlebell is perfect to ease the women into this strength-building program. 5 lbs kettlebells are scarce as hens teeth but are a valuable asset to getting clients interested in continuing the program. ...more
