I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING

with what to write this month,

so I decided to just go with

what is heaviest on my heart.

My sister Deborah was taken

from us on May 24th. She was

hit in a head-on collision ona rural highway in Texas by

a Suburban that had struck

another small vehicle, killing

that car's driver, too. As the

trooper investigating my

sister's car crash said to me,

"She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

My family and I are stil l reeling from this tragedy, but it

certainly has us and my sister's bevy of friends thinking about

the meaning of life, why we're here, what's our purpose and

how to live each day to the fullest.

You see, my sister did. She didn't care about what people

thought of her (at least not that we knew). She was a folk-singing, earth-loving, free-spirited hippy who apparently made

everyone she came in contact with feel super special. Many

stories were shared at her memorial in Austin, Texas of just

how much of a huge light she was in people's lives. For that, I

am incredibly grateful.

While we can't possibly know when or if an accident might

FODLP RXU OLYHV ZH FDQ GH¿QLWHO\ HQVXUH ZH OLYH DV ORQJ DQG

healthy as possible by taking care of ourselves (eating right,

H[HUFLVLQJ UHJXODUO\ GHVWUHVVLQJ UHVROYLQJ FRQÀLFWV JRLQJ IRU

regular doctor visits, etc.). But be careful of going overboard in

your quest to live healthy or even be successful. Don't spend

DOO \RXU IUHH WLPH LQ WKH J\P RU DW WKH RI¿FH DQG IRUJHW WR KDYH

fun with your family and friends. Don't be so obsessed withanything that you forget to live or forget what really matters.

Balance is everything.

Debbie Doo (as I affectionately called her) had great

balance. She knew when to have fun, she wasn't a slave to

work and she took care of herself. She ate raw foods that she

grew herself, she de-stressed with static dancing and music,

she loved on people by doing massage therapy, and she hiked

DQG VZDP LQ $XVWLQ 6KH GLGQW KDYH WKDW ÀDZOHVV ¿WQHVV

model physique, but she sure didn't give a damn. She did not

apologize for not being perfect by today's standards. Even at

48, she was make-up free, didn't dye her graying hair and she

purchased clothes at thrift stores. She didn't feel that need

some of us do to be perfect.

The truth is, none of us are perfect. And all of us are

beautiful and unique in our own way. Let's not get caught up in

perfection, but instead let's love ourselves as we are right now

and be kind to ourselves and others until the end of our days.

Seize the day. You never know if it will be your last.

Until next time...

Growing up I always struggled

with my weight. I grew up in an

overweight family, where I learned

terrible eating habits. I graduated

high school in 2007 at 17 years old

and I weighed about 260 lbs. In

September of 2009, I reluctantly

went to the doctor for a physical andthat would ultimately be the day

that changed my life forever.

Life as the fat kid is not easy,

but I had always told myself that

I would never let it get too out of

control. Well that day at the doctor’s,

I stepped on the scale and it read

301 lbs. When I read those numbers,

I could not fight back the tears that

immediately started running down

my face. At 20 years old I weighed

301 lbs. and the worst part is that I

had already lost some weight prior

to visiting the doctor.I knew that I could no longer

keep lying to myself and that I

needed to do something. I initially

began losing weight in all the wrong

ways. My goal weight was 215 lbs.

and I wanted to reach that by my

21st birthday, but after I lost the first

70 lbs. in 6 months I realized that it

no longer became about the scale,

but the way I felt and the way my

body looked.

That was when I walked into

Max Muscle Fresno and asked for

help. Max Muscle was extremelyinstrumental in my weight loss.

They taught me about nutrition and

what I should be eating and why and how I should be training to achieve

my goals and my ideal physique. With the help of Max Muscle Fresno I

was able to lose 30 more pounds, making my weight loss total 100 lbs. in

one year.

Fast forward a couple years when my weight loss journey transformed

into a fitness lifestyle and I found myself hungry to achieve my ultimate

childhood dream of stepping onto a bodybuilding stage. Ever since I

first watched “Pumping Iron” as a young child, I had dreamed of one

day having a physique like the guys in the movie and competing in

bodybuilding shows; I just never thought it would be possible.

On April 25th, I stepped on stage and competed in my first ever

bodybuilding competition where I took 1st place in the NoviceHeavyweight Division and 5th in the Open Heavyweight. If it were not

for the staff at Max Muscle and my coach Steven Kruckenberg taking a

chance on me and giving me guidance and support, I would have never

had the confidence to follow through with my dream.

My favorite products throughout my weight loss journey and

competition prep have been Max L-Carnitine, Cleanse & Lean and

LipoRed.

Living Proof Anything isPossible If You Just Try!

No Longer a 'Fat Kid'

I've been into fitness my entire life. I began taking training and nutrition veryseriously at the age of 16. I played sports, was in love with the weightroom and really enjoyed eating healthy. However, at the age of 23, I wasin a major car accident that left me with injuries to my lower spine as wellas my neck. Going forward, doctors said that my day-to-day life wouldbe a challenge and that working out was completely out of the question. Irefused to accept that reality and in 2009 I began a vigorous rehab thatlasted several years.

After years of work and learning how to work around my injuries I gotback into better shape than ever had been. In 2012, I reached my goalof 200 lbs. at 4 percent body fat and I haven't looked back since. In justunder four years I've gone from the worst shape of my life and not knowingif I would ever work out again to being a published fitness model that isnow in better shape than I ever dreamed of being. I just want to showothers that no matter what kind of challenges you are facing, you canovercome anything with hard work, dedication and belief. It would be aprivilege to have my story in your pages. Thank you you for your time.

A GratefulCoupleWe would like to taketime to say thank you (to

Brandon Brockway at Max

Muscle Fair Oaks) for all

these years of superior

service and expertise

on Max Muscle Sports

Nutrition supplements

and the brands that

are supported by your

wonderful company.

Your knowledge and

service has been critical to

Jack and me in reachingour fitness goals. We have

been going to your store

since March 2009 when we

first met. Recently we have

been talking about how

awesome it has been to

have you as a trusted friend

and advisor who has been

a key factor for both of our

personal fitness journeys and transformations. It is not every day that you find such

a caring friend who shows the kind of honesty and integrity that you have displayed

to us time and time again.

– Jack Supinger and Kristiane Smith, Orangevale, CA

V Age? Mind? The Journey?People keep telling me the older I get, the harder it is to get this weight off. What is it about those last10 lbs.? Is it age, or our determination to continue this never-ending battle against food, alcohol, raisingkids, being perfect in this world of surgeries, Photoshop, Cross-fit or selfies? We say we don't care, butdeep down we all care about how we look and how others see us. It's the trigger.

Why is it when we are on, we are unbreakable. No one can break us. But when we are off , we areoff? Those of us who train know what I mean. It's all or none. It's the balance that people search for.They ask me, "How do you find the balance?" And really, it takes years. Or is there a balance for thosepeople who are "all or none?"

Planning, prepping, partying and praying. I think that finding out what works for people takes years.Do people want the cookie or the beer more than they want those abs? I love hearing what peoplewant, but also what they need, at all ages, because as we know those needs will change. Don't begood – be great!

Max Muscle is a good place to start. My 15 years of training, competing, giving birth (to twins),gaining weight, losing weight, basically all the stuff over a million Americans deal with every day hasgiven me balance.

So please, don't give up. And remember, it takes years to find it. You will.

JOE'S CORNER

PROTEIN SHAKES are important for

many reasons:

• They are healthy and taste great

• Have more nutrients than most meals

• Digest easier than most dietary

proteins

• They supply high quality protein

• Cost less than most dietary proteins

• Support lean muscle mass

• Boost metabolism

• Support muscle retention while dieting

• Support a healthy lifestyle of frequent

protein meals

• Mix a healthy blend of easy-to-digest

nutrients

• Help monitor precise amounts of

protein/carbohydrate/fats in your diet Wow! It sounds like we should all

be pounding down protein shakes. I

emphatically believe that when blended

correctly, shakes can be the healthiest

and easiest ways to power pack our

bodies with a super concentration

of nutrients. How many meals can

be prepared in less than 5 minutes

that supply your body with 30 grams

RI SURWHLQ JUDPV RI ¿EHU RQO\

25 grams of carbs and 12 grams of

sugar, powerful anti-oxidants, vitamins

minerals, heart healthy fats and nocholesterol? And they taste great. I

challenge you to make that perfect

meal in less than 5 minutes and for

about 2 dollars! Take into consideration

your time, cost, energy levels and, of

course, health concerns, and most of

you will see that protein shakes do

offer a tremendous advantage.

Max Muscle is proud to have

pioneered the ever-popular protein

shake. I guess it is a natural

occurrence since we have specialized

LQ PDQXIDFWXULQJ VRPH RI WKH ¿QHVW

protein powders on the market. MaxPro

Super Protein Concentrate led the way

IRU XV :H ¿UVW LQWURGXFHG 0D[3UR EDFN

in the early 90s. If we kept track of

pounds of protein powders sold, I would

guess that we have sold more than 25

million pounds!

Here is a great recipe to get you

started:

BANANA & STRAWBERRY BLAST

This shake has approximately 32 grams

RI SURWHLQ JUDPV RI ¿EHU ±

grams of carbs (depending on what

liquids you choose), and 1 gram of fat.It is about 200-300 calories, depending

on liquids, etc.

Ingredients:

• 8-12 ounces of milk, almond milk or

your favorite juice or any combination

of these

• ½ banana

• ¾ cup of frozen strawberries

• 1 scoop MaxPro Strawberry or Vanilla

Protein (30 grams per scoop)

• VFRRS 0D[ 3RZHU *UHHQV HTXDOV ¿YH

servings of fruits and veggies)

HEY JOE,why should people drink proteinshakes?

Directions:

Place all these ingredients in a blender and

blend for 30 seconds. I love to add 1 tablespoon

each of flax seeds and chia seeds. This will add

essential fatty acids as well as more fiber and

protein.

The key is to be creative and try

different liquids, like cashew milk, soy/

coconut milk, etc. These usually have

low calories and really make your shake

taste creamy. Also, try different fruits.

There are many different frozen fruits to

mix things up.

Whether you want to limit your shake

to 100 calories for calorie-restricted

diets or drink 1,000 calories per shake

to gain lean muscle, protein shakes

are the easiest and simplest way to do

this. For almost 25 years, Max Muscle

has helped thousands of customers

accomplish their goals by utilizing

Max Muscle products, and of course,

most of these customers have used

Max Muscle’s concept of multi-serving

protein meals or healthy protein shakes.

MAX HEALTH

HEALTH BEAT From new ways to prevent cancer to leading with your head or heart, here are this month's latest health blurbs. BY LINDA HEPLER, BSN, RN

According to scientists at the Loma Linda School of Public Health, laughing

lowers the level of stress hormones and strengthens your immune system.

Laughing

Matters

Smoking, Men and Osteosis Most men are aware that heart disease and prostate cancer are

two top health risks as they age. But for smokers – even former

smokers – osteoporosis and skeletal fractures are right up there,

say researchers at National Jewish Health in Colorado. The

scientists performed bone density testing on 3,000 smokers and

former smokers ages 45 to 80 and found that more men than

women had low bone density. And a full 60 percent of the men

had vertebral fractures, compared to 40 percent of the women.

To prevent osteoporosis, the experts recommend a diet rich in

calcium, a daily vitamin D supplement, an active lifestyle, and

of course, not smoking. And if you’re over age 50 and have a

history of smoking, talk to your doc about bone density testing.

Brain or Heart?Is your sense of “self,” your very being, located in your head or in your

heart? Researchers from Rice University and Columbia University found that

people demonstrate a preference either toward the brain or the heart as their

sense of self – and that their thoughts, feelings and actions differ, according

to the preference.

More people, particularly males and those who have a strong sense of

independence and autonomy, locate their sense of self in the brain. More

women and those who see themselves as interdependent with others,

choose the heart. The results, say the researchers, helps us to understand

psychological processes and decision-making. This may explain why you

choose that sporty red car (heart) over the beige sedan with great ratings for

safety and gas mileage (brain).

VITAMIN B3 MAY HELP

PREVENT SKIN CANCERS A new study from the University of Sydneyhas shown that a form of vitamin B3, callednicotinamide, may dramatically reduce therisk of non-melanoma skin cancer in people who have already had skin cancer. About 3.5 million non-melanoma skincancers (basal cell and squamous cell) arediagnosed in this country each year. Whilethese cancers, if found and treated early, rarelycause death, their removal can leave scarringand disfigurement, especially if the cancerhas grown into the deeper layers of skin. And those who’ve had one episode of skincancer tend to develop others, which can be worrisome.

e researchers caution that more research isneeded to determine whether nicotinamide will prevent skin cancers in those who haven’tdeveloped it already. But for those who have,it may be one supplement worth trying.

SUMMERTIME

Safety WHEN SPRING fever gives way to the

summer season, many of us (especially

those living in colder climates) are

eager to take things outside. Whether

workouts or recreational pursuits, it’s

undoubtedly more pleasurable to be

actively involved in the outdoors rather

than to be looking at it from an interiorwindow.

Because of the increased outdoor

activity, summer is the time for higher

numbers of emergency room visits,

too, with heat stroke, poison ivy,

insect-borne illness and allergies, and

severe sunburn – just a few maladies

bringing people for medical help. It’s

also the high season for traumaticinjuries such as strains and sprains,

broken bones, and brain and spinal

cord injuries, said Akram Alashari,

MD, trauma surgeon and critical care

physician at the University of Florida.

“People tend to jump into things rather

than start out slowly,” he said.

And risky behaviors, such as failing

to wear protective equipment orcombining alcohol with certain sports

Midwest (or if you live in this area), you should be aware of the potential for

tick-borne illnesses like Lyme Disease. is bacterial infection is transmitted tohumans primarily by the bite of the black-legged tick or deer tick (although other

ticks as well as biting insects such as deer flies and horse flies have been shown to

carry the bacteria). Ticks live in wooded and grassy areas, and can also be carried

by dogs and other pets into the yard. Not all ticks are infected with Lyme Disease.

Once infected, many people experience a rash and flu-like symptoms, and if

left untreated, may eventually develop multi-organ symptoms such as joint and

muscle pain, and neurological issues. ese symptoms may last for a long time, if

not indefinitely.

e best treatment for Lyme Disease is prevention, said Nathan Wei, MD,

board certified rheumatologist of Maryland. “In grassy and wooded areas, cover

up completely, wear insect repellant and shower immediately after returning.”

If you do find a tick that is attached to your skin, remove it per Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov) guidelines and save it for your doctor.

en seek medical help. If the tick is engorged (has been feeding for some time)

and Lyme disease is prevalent in your area, your physician may choose to treat

you preventatively for the infection. Treatment consists of two to four weeks of

antibiotics.

Otherwise, said Dr. Wei, be alert for symptoms of Lyme Disease, especially

an unexplained rash, if you’ve been in an area where it is common – and see your

physician immediately if you develop any of them. e vast majority of people

who are treated early in the disease recover fully.

safety, you’ll greatly minimize your risk

of spending time in the ER or sidelined

on the couch.

Condition, condition, condition.

Even if you’ve kept up your workout

routine during the cooler months,

you need to condition yourself to

the weather conditions, said Kristine

Arthur, MD, an internist practicing

at Orange Coast Memorial Medical

Center in Fountain Valley, California.

“Even the best trained athlete can

have trouble with strenuous activity in

peak temperature and humidity,” she

explained. “You have to build up to it;

‘pushing through it’ can be dangerous.” This means increasing your outdoor

workout time slowly, making sure to

hydrate frequently and paying attention

to signs of heat illness such as muscle

cramps, weakness, dizziness, nausea or

headache. If any of these occur, move

to a cool place until you recover. And if

muscle soreness and weakness persist,

seek health care immediately, said Dr.

Arthur. “These may be symptoms of

rhabdomyolysis, or a severe breakdown

of muscle tissue that can occur with

intense exercise and heat stroke, whichmay damage the kidneys.”

Use proper equipment. Even if

you’re just taking a leisurely bike ride

around the block or playing a friendly

game of baseball, it’s important to use

protective equipment recommended

for the activity, including helmets, pads

and guards, said Dr. Alashari, who

sees numerous bicycle, motorcycle,

skateboard, baseball and rollerbladinginjuries through the ER during the

summer months. “If you’re not wearing

a helmet, an injury that might not have

caused severe problems can cause

irreversible damage,” he cautioned.

That said, “Know you’re not immune

to injury, even with protective

equipment,” he added, citing a study

that showed that people who are

wearing helmets tend to do riskier

things, such as tricks, that they might

not have done if not wearing the

protective equipment.

“A full 50 to 60 percent of what we see

So err on the side of caution and

1. CYCLINGCycling has a lot of great advantages as a sport. You can do it

alone or with family or friends, and it’s fairly cheap. Don’t want

to commit to investing in a bike? No worries! You can borrow

from a friend or rent one from a local bike shop. One of the

best things about cycling is that you can map out where you

want to ride, whether it’s in the city, countryside, or in areas

closer to home. Anywhere you choose to ride is free!

We typically think of cycling as being mainly a leg-

dominant sport, which it is, but the upper body and core

are also involved in stabilizing the hips and pulling on the

handlebars to ascend long climbs. So you can get a pretty

good workout with no more equipment than a bike!

According to NutriStrategy, a company that specializes

LQ KHDOWK DQG ¿WQHVV SURGXFWVVHUYLFHV IRU FRQVXPHUV D

relaxing bike ride (less than 10mph) burns more calories than

an easy walk (2mph), which works out to 281 calories versus

176 calories per hour. Challenge yourself by powering your

way up hills and pushing your speed over 10mph, but even

keeping to a leisurely pace is a great way to supplement yourlifestyle and stay in shape.

Summertime is here again, and that means

beautiful weather, beach vacations and weekend

getaways. Perhaps you’re bored hitting the gym

every day and want to take advantage of the

glorious sunshine and fresh air? Look no further.

allow you to enjoy the outdoors, but also helpget you into great shape!

Get ready for the fall

release of the movie version of the playful Bill Bryson book, A Walk

in the Woods , a true story about two aging men (played by Robert

Redford and Nick Nolte) attempting a hike along the Appalachian Trail

with your own – hopefully less comedic – hike. The Appalachian Trail is

the oldest walking trail in the United States and traces the East Coast

from Georgia to Maine for 2,185 miles through 14 states.

While a “thru-hike” (hiking the trail in its entirety in less than one

year) takes more time than most are able to spend away from home,

you don’t need to be that ambitious to experience the hiking adventure

of your life. You can begin at Springer Mountain in Georgia, where

most thru-hikers begin, or if you’re up for the challenge, start in the

wild and rugged terrain of Maine. Or, as many people do, start your

hike in the middle of the trail in Harpers Ferry, Virginia, home to the

trail headquarters and considered one of the most scenic and historic

spots of all.

more northerly areas, it’s the

ideal time to grab every bit

summer months as possible. For

those adventurous souls, why

“Let’s go surfing

now, everybody’s learning how,” claims the old Beach Boys tune. But

if you’ve never learned how, it’s not too late. There are surf lessons,schools and camps all over the country that cater to adults who have

little or no experience with the sport. One of them is Endless Summer

Surf Camp in Southern California, one of the oldest surf schools in

the country and the first to be officially endorsed by Surfing America,

the U.S. governing board for the sport of surfing. Five-day packages

cost $895, and include accommodations, meals and snacks, surfing

equipment, and daily instruction by professional surfers on one of the

least crowded beaches in the area. Choose from an all ages camp or

an all adults-only camp.

IF YOU GO: While core and upper body strength is a plus for surfing,

you don’t need to worry about being in perfect shape; in fact,

surfing is the ideal way to get in shape! And with an all-inclusive

camp, you don’t need to worry much about what to bring. Endless

summer makes it easy with a list of recommended items; log on toEndlessSummerSurfCamp.com for more information and to register.

If you like backcountry hiking but your ideal wilderness experience

doesn’t include packing in all of your supplies on your back, you may

want to consider a llama trekking adventure. Why llamas? These

docile and friendly creatures are sure-footed pack animals, and can

comfortably carry about 80 pounds of gear. And booking a llama

trekking adventure through a company such as Wild Earth Llamas

in New Mexico takes much of the planning and preparation out of

your hands. For $425 for an overnight trip, higher for multi-day trips

($1,025 for a 5 day/4 night trek), Wild Earth will provide all meals

(gourmet backcountry style) and all camping gear except for sleeping

bag and pad (which may be rented). The treks take place in the

Carson and Santa Fe National Forests; base camp is set up and from

there, you take day hikes to some of the most pristine wilderness inthe country.

IF YOU GO: Wild Earth Llamas requires that participants be in good

health and able to hike 4-10 miles each day at elevations above

8,000 feet. Personal gear is limited to 15 pounds, plus a sleeping bag

and pad. For more information, including what to bring, check out

LlamaAdventures.com.

Okay, the idea of campingsounds fun. Getting up close and personal with nature and

enjoying the camaraderie around a campfire, for instance.

But the reality of camping – sleeping on the ground, sand in

the tent, shooing away mosquitoes and cooking meals over

the camp stove – is off-putting to some. Enter luxury camping

– also known as “glamping.” There are numerous glamping

opportunities at resorts throughout the country – in cabins,

luxury tents and even Airstream Trailers. One such adventure

is through the Paws Up Ranch (PawsUp.com), a 37,000 acre

working Black Angus cow ranch in Greenough, Montana, inthe heart of the Blackfoot Valley overlooking the Blackfoot

River. Five luxury campsites offer safari-style tents with fine

linens, chic rustic furniture, electricity, air conditioning, ensuite

bathrooms and best of all, a butler and a gourmet chef, as

well as housekeeping services. Enjoy a day of trail riding,

fly fishing, clay shooting or white-water rafting, and enjoy

your evening with a bonfire in the fire pit (started for you, of

course) and s’mores.

IF YOU GO: Glamping is not cheap; an all-inclusive week

at Paws Up, for example, will set you back nearly $13,000.

This price includes accommodations in a one-bed luxury

tented suite, all meals, including wine and beer at lunch and

dinner, ground transfers from the airport, and on-property

transportation, as well as access to the fitness center, hiking

trails and a variety of recreational activities such as volleyball

and disc golf. And of course, the butler and chef. Guided

excursions are extra; a 4-hour guided fly-fishing excursion

is $450/person, and a 2-hour trail ride $160 per person. But

how else to rough it without really roughing it?

vistas of dunes, soaring crags, tide pools and jutting capes. Two bike shops along the coast

cater to the fat bike business: Bike Newport(BikeNewport.com), which offers guided

tours and rentals, and South Coast Bicyclesin Bandon, (SouthCoastBicycles.com), which

offers rentals and detailed information aboutpotential rides and routes along the coast. Both

companies charge $50/day for a fat bike.

Summer Swaps

SUMMER IS HERE, and that means hot weather, swimsuits, shorts and tank tops. It also means plenty of BBQsand time outdoors. Here are my favorite picnic and BBQoptions and substitutes:Hamburger – The average burger, with bun and toppings, is a

whopping 512 calories! Good news though: there are easy waysto cut that number in half. If you’re doing the grilling or bringingyour own meat, try 90/10 lean ground beef. You’ll cut caloriesand fat with the easy swap. You can also try lean ground turkeyfor your burger if you are limiting your red meat. Either way,make your patties 4 ounces, be cautious of the sodium in yourseasoning, and you’ll be around 200 calories.

Buns – A white hamburger bun can contain over 200 calories

and 28 grams of carbs. Grab a fork and try your hamburgersans bun (I actually prefer it this way). You can also use alarge piece of lettuce and make a mouth-watering wrap.

Toppings – Ketchup can be packed with unwanted sugarand sodium. Try replacing it with a fresh slice of tomato. Atablespoon of guacamole also makes a great, healthy optionfor a topping. Skip the cheese and you’ll save another 60-90calories.

Grilled Fish – Maybe a stretch for some, but grilling up some¿VK RU D VKULPS VNHZHU FDQ EH D \XPP\ ORZ FDORULH %%4 RSWLRQ $ IRXU RXQFH KDOLEXW ¿OOHW FRQWDLQV MXVW FDORULHV DQG LVpacked with omega-3 fatty acids.

Richland, Washington in May 2014, they combined talents,

passions and the kind of enthusiasm for helping people that

only people drawn to Max Muscle franchises understand.

“Helping others lead a healthy lifestyle is the number one

reason I wanted to open a Max Muscle," said Jason. “Knowing

Max Muscle products are made with quality ingredients from

the U.S.A. is a huge factor. We know what’s going into theseproducts. We can stand behind them and are proud to do so.

Seeing our customers come back having seen the results they

were looking for is so rewarding.”

Following DreamsWhile their dream is to work hard to build their business, the

way they are doing it is in true Max Muscle style: through a

daily drive for excellent customer service and educating their

customers how to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Kristan manages and works the store along with a great

support staff that they are thankful to have on their team. “I

am passionate about making people happy and feel good about

themselves,” Kristan said. “I want our clients to know they arevalued for who they are as a person.”

Community Support Kristan has set up several sponsored athlete programs to help

support local athletes and promote healthy lifestyle choices

within their community. They sponsor and work with Hallie

Stevens, Kyri Manuel and Ciara Perez, all three competitors in

bikini, powerlifting and physique.

Hallie Stevens, Max Muscle Richland, WA sponsored athlete

said, “I have tried just about every line of supplements out

there, and Max Muscle blows them all out of the water. Max

Muscle Richland stands behind their word 200 percent, and

there is nothing but real and raw results to prove that. MaxMuscle has everything to offer to ensure that you are on a

long-term road to success!”

Additionally, their business is a strong supporter of youth

sports and sponsors Kamiakin High School Wrestling Team

and an AAU Richland Gunners Basketball team for 4th grade

to 8th grade children. Cyle DeLeon is a two-time All American

Freestyle and Greco Wrestler and future Olympian. Cyle and his

brother Colton (pictured below) use Athlete’s Choice Pro 360.

SUMMER IS HERE! Whether you’re planning

on soaking up the sun by the beach, the pool

or lakeside, remember to take good care

of your hair. Exposure to UV rays, salt and

chlorine can dry out your locks, especially if

your hair has been chemically processed.

“Our hair typically already takes a beating

DOO \HDU URXQG IURP EORZGU\LQJ ÀDWLURQV

curling irons and the like,” says Nichole Darling

Shockley, a Los Angeles and Orange County-

based freelance hair and makeup artist.

“Summer is the perfect

time to take a break and

let your hair be free!”

How to Get Sexy Summer Hair

BY JENNIFER CHO SALAFF

MAX IMAGE

“Healthy” and“summer hair”can go hand

in hand

ROOTS ONLY

Shampoo can actually dry your hair out, so considerwashing your scalp only,then rinsing (every other

wash, for example).

DON’T SHAMPOO

BEFORE SWIMMING

“You don’t want to strip yourhair of its natural oils before

jumping into chlorinated

waters,” says NicholeShockley. “You’ll end upwith super dry, brittle –

maybe even green – hair if you’re blonde.” Tip: Sprayleave-in conditioner to yourhair before getting in the

pool to keep it from soakingup all those chemicals.

DETOX THOSE LOCKS

After swimming in the pool,use a special shampoo thatremoves chlorine from hairlike Ultra Swim, TriSwim or

Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three.

MOISTURIZE

Consider using a hair maskonce a week to quenchparched locks. Look for

products with organic arganoil, linseed oil or shea

butter. “I love hot oil rinses,”says Shockley. “Coconut,

olive and avocado oils aregood at penetrating the

hair shaft.” Tip: Shampooas usual, then work in oilfrom ends to roots. Rinse,

then condition as usual. Your

hair should feel moisturizedafterwards, but not greasy.

SKIP THE TOOLS

Give your blow dryer,flat and curling irons andheat rollers a break. Aftershampooing, towel dry

your hair, use a leave-inconditioner and let your

locks air dry.

CHIC HAT HAIR

Wearing a wide-brimmedhat can help save your hair

(and your scalp!) from thesun’s damaging rays.

esun, the pool,

the ocean waves –even the best parts of

summer can take its toll. Here are some easy waysto keep your hair looking

gorgeous all seasonlong.

DIY Sun-Streaked HairGet gorgeous highlighted strands (we love Cameron Diaz's golden locks!)

Mother Nature’s way. Lemon juice (an all-natural beauty trick that’s been

around forever), tea or beer (yes, beer!) are tried-and-true ways to getthat low-maintenance, sun-kissed look.

• LEMON JUICE: Using a 3:1 ratio of lemon juice and distilled water, pour

into a spray bottle and use just before you head to the pool, beach

or the lake.

• TEA: Brew three tea bags in 16 oz. of boiling water

(chamomile for blondes, black tea for brunettes, Red Zinger

by Celestial Seasonings for red heads), let cool, then rinse

your hair with tea after shampooing.

• BEER: Using a light beer (like Corona), rinse with

2-3 bottles after shampooing. Leave in for about an

hour, then rinse with cool water. Follow up with a rich

moisturizing conditioner.

DEEP SIDE PARTThis on-trend look is perhaps the

easiest to achieve. Simply part your

hair at center eyebrow to corner

eyebrow, use a little gel and blow dry

in place.MS&F

PRETTY, BEACHY WAVESWho doesn’t want to look like they just

spent a blissful day at the beach? You

don’t even have to live by the ocean to

get this look. Create it yourself with a

DIY sea salt spray (see recipe below).

Perfect surfer girl waves.

Chic Summer HairstylesResist the urge to throw your hair up into a ponytail! Yes it’s summer and yes the

nape of your neck is getting sweaty. But instead of resorting to a sloppy up-do,

consider trying these simple summer hairstyles.

UNEVEN, BLUNT-CUT BOBThis simple but sweet look might

prompt you to kiss those messy

ponytails goodbye.

SIDE BRAID An easy, chic way to keep frizzes

at bay. Simply wet hair and apply a

pea-sized amount of gel (a quarter-

sized amount for longer hair) and

braid to the side.
