Tranz4m Fitness Newsletter

Introduction

The Tranz4m program gives you a full understanding of the science behind our program. We explain in easy to understand terms just how and why our program works. For example, a simple grasp of the differences between anabolic and catabolic processes is key to understanding how a valid health and fitness program can work for you.

Anabolism versus Catabolism

In the health and fitness industry, a number of “catchwords” are used interchangeably; such as metabolism, weight loss, building, breaking down, gaining, and losing. We are now going to distinguish these terms and make them simple to understand. Once you are familiar with the basic health concepts and terms, it will allow us to dispel a number of myths and help you get the results you have always wanted.

METABOLISM = ANABOLISM – CATABOLISM

Metabolism is the difference of anabolism and catabolism. If we compare the body to a structure, anabolism is the building aspect and catabolism is the breaking down aspect. Every process and structure in the body is metabolic. For example, bones in your body are continuously being broken down and reformed. Muscles, including proteins are constantly modified and reconstructed to make the body function to its optimal capacity.

A specific stress in the form of exercise alters the metabolic state; thus improving the body’s structure (muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons) and function (systems). Our philosophy at Tranz4M is to optimize the specific stress needed to give you the very best level of health and fitness.

Therefore to build muscle, you need to increase the anabolic state of the muscle, while at the same time decreasing the catabolic state of the muscle. It is a myth that you have to break down muscle in order to build it up. You do not have to break down a building to make it stronger; it is more efficient to positively add to the existing structure.
