Today I'm going to be talking about supplements! Are they worth getting? What should you take? What do they consist of? I'll explain it all and remember, if you have ANY questions, comment below and I will be more than happy to answer any and all questions! Let's get started....
So, many people ask me if they should be taking supplements. And the answer is YES!!! Supplements are so important especially if you are training hard! When we workout our body uses a lot of it's nutrients and energy to help build those muscles, and supplements help nourish our body after or during out workouts. That way you arent depleted and will see gains a lot faster with supplements!
What should I take then?
Well, since there are sooooo many supplements, I will go over basic supplements that I suggest! You don't have to take ALL. I understand the price adds up, but do what you can!
1. PROTEIN! This one I demand any of my clients to go get immediately! Protein is what helps repair muscles after a workout. So if you want to see tone muscles, big muscles, lean muscles, get your fit booty to a supplement this instant and go get a protein! A protein I've been taking recently that I absolutely love is Image Pro grade whey protein! It has CLA and L Carnitine in it which are two extra supplements that aid in weight loss! CLA and L carnitine take fat and convert it to energy! Awesome right?! Then the extra protein which has 30g per scoop help repair those muscles after we workout! Two in one! Best part, it's $30!! So go to your local GNC and go get some! Or you can order it online!
2. Vitamins!!!! Vitamins and minerals Re huge when it comes to our bodies! A lot of people think they are getting their daily intake of vitamins, but I would say 70% aren't. Just because you have one banana or apple a day doesn't mean you are getting the proper intake! Ha ha! There are so many ways to get your intake. My suggestion is a liquid form. One of my favorites is VitaCell from Max Muscle. Liquid absorbs better than pull form so that way you reap more benefits this way!
3. Amino acids. Amino acids are HUGE for helping our bodies recover from our workouts as well! You'll most like see amino acids called BCAA which stand for branch chain amino acids! There's three aminos that repair those muscles and they've created a supplement with these, and they go in and start repairing all those fibers in your muscles you just ripped from lifting. Most of the BCAA supplements come in powder form and taste delicious!! I've tried all different brand, and they all taste delicious, do I have a preference? Not really. However, my man beast of a boyfriend LOVES Amino 1 from Muscle Pharm! Cherry limeaid is an amazing flavor! So if I were to suggest any brand I would suggest that.
4. Last but not least, Pre-Workout! This is a supplement that you will have to test out and see which you like best. I've tried probably 10 preworkout a in the last year and have 3 favorites out of all of them. Pre workouts help give you that boost for your workout! DEFINITELY take if you're lifting! Most pre workouts have ingredients that will benefit those muscles. My suggestion for women, FBX from Max Muscle. Has caffeine in it, but does not give you the tingly sensation. For you gentleman out there that love that, there's one I highly suggest. Gun Powder from Max Muscle. Has amazing pump and tingly sensation to it. Also has a little bit of creatine too!
Pre workout should be taken about 15-20 before your workout so that way it absorbs good into your body and then you are set to go!!
For any of these supplements from GNC go to bodybuilding.com and just put the supplement in the search box and you can get GREAT prices!
For any supplements from Max Muscle, either visit a local store or you can also order online, Maxmuscle.com!
Yes these two stores are competitors, I've actually worked at Max Muscle, but the point here is to fuel your body! So let's do just that!!
Have an awesome rest of your week! Go get some fuel for that body and again, ask any question you may have!
