We see a lot of people now days are supplementing considering body builders, professional athletes, Ect. But what about people doing Beachbody products, should they supplement on a regular basis too? Yes we should! Believe it or not but products like P90x, Insanity, Asylum, Turbo fire all put our body’s through a lot of stress, and in a normal day it is almost impossible to get all the nutrients needed to support our lifestyles, so everyone should supplement a little.
Now the next question is who should supplement with what products? Below I have laid out the basic supplements male and female should take. Below is what i take and that i recommend my Clients take too.
- Protein Powder- You need protein for muscle growth and most people don’t even come close to the amount we should get daily with whole foods, so supplementing with Whey Protein helps a ton! You should shoot for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily and if you are a heavy exerciser you can even take in 1.7 or 2g per pound of body weight, i take in 2g per pound. And yes ladies you should supplement with whey protein too! You will not get bulky! That’s just an old myth. I recommend and use my self Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, you can get it for the best price off bodybuilding.com, amazon also has a good price.
- Recovery Drink- During intense exercise you deplete your glycogen stores, and you have a window of about 30 min where if you replenish your glycogen levels you will recover fast and have a better opportunity for muscle growth. I use the P90X Results and Recovery Formula From Beachbody it has all the nutrients my body needs to recover from intense workouts, you can click here to order it.
- Glutamine- it is the most common amino acid found In our muscles. Like Glycogen, Glutamine is also depleted with high intensity training, and naturally our bodies take around six days to replenish your Glutamine, so it’s very important to supplement with it.
- Multi Vitamin- Ever since we were little our moms always told us to take our multivitamin and why should we stop when were older you should have a multivitamin daily to make sure all your vitamins are covered.
- Fish Oil- Loaded with Omega 3’s are extremely good for your heart and can help prevent heart disease, these are extremely important if you don’t eat fish on a regular basis.
- Vitamin D3 2,000 IU- this helps with joints and bone development and as you get older it’s important to get enough vitamin D and if you don’t get very much sun it is a good idea to Take it.
- Super B-Complex- this helps food get converted to energy, and is also important for muscle development, you get B vitamins naturally from Red Meat, but usually you need to supplement to get the full benefits.
- Shakeology- THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE SUPPLEMENT! If I could only choose one supplement it would be Shakeology! It has over 70 Super Foods all in one shake that contains all your vitamins needed daily! It also has all your servings of fruits and veggies for a day all in one shake! And the best part it taste’s AMAZING! To learn more about Shakeology the healthiest meal of the day click here! It really is that good!
