Summer is here!
The long, warm days are inviting us to get outside and get active. Now is
the time to kick your fitness regimen into high gear
whether you are an experienced athlete or a weekend
warrior. And Shaklee is here to support you every step
of the way with tips and product suggestions. Put on
your tennis shoes and get ready for a healthy, fit, and
active summer! Five tips to Maximize Your Workout!
1. Optimize Your Workout by Staying Hydrated
Did you know that 46% of exercisers are likely to go to the gym
dehydrated? This is according to a study published in
2006 in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism.
Dehydration reduces aerobic endurance and can result in
increased body temperature, increased heart rate,
disorientation, and even physical collapse.
Whether you are going for a long bike ride or are simply gardening for the
day, the best way to stay hydrated this summer is to
drink . Shaklee's exclusive OptiCarb® formula contains
carbohydrates for endurance and electrolytes for quick
hydration.
2. Eat a Light Meal *Before* Your Workout
A large meal prior to a workout may leave you feeling
sluggish or with cramps because your muscles and
digestive system are competing for energy sources. To
the contrary, not eating can cause low blood sugar
levels leaving you feeling weak or faint.
For optimal performance, try a Shacklee one to two hours prior to your
workout. The nutrients are rapidly absorbed and Cinch
Bars are powered by Leucine? to help preserve muscle.
3.Replace Protein *After* a Workout
Have you ever strayed from an exercise regimen because you didn't recover
quickly enough from a workout? Most of us have. But you
can enhance recovery by replenishing your body with
protein and carbohydrates immediately after a workout to
replenish glycogen stores that are depleted during
exercise.
Stick to your exercise regimen by drinking...Physique immediately after
your workout. Physique contains Bio-Build® to give you
the nutrients you need to rapidly recover and repair
muscle tissue.
Whey protein is a complete protein and is one of the richest known sources
of naturally occurring branched-chain amino acids,
including leucine which plays a critical role in muscle
protein synthesis and muscle growth.
4. Keep your Joints Healthy
That last mile in, struggling for that last
weight-lifting rep, or playing that extra game of tennis
can be tough on joints. Joints, the junction where one
bone meets the other, are protected by cartilage, a
resilient shock absorber. Joint health can be affected
by many factors, including exercise and simple
day-to-day activities.
Help put the spring back in your step with ....Joint Health Complex. Joint
Health Complex contains glucosamine, a key building
block for larger molecules such as proteoglycans, which
give cartilage elasticity, strength and resiliency.
5. Daily Nutrition is Key to Every Workout
Athletes need to make sure that their bodies are in top form and that
means getting important vitamins, minerals, and other
nutrients every single day. For example, antioxidants
are critical to prevent free radical damage caused by
increased oxygen utilization during exercise and the B
vitamins convert the food you eat into fuel for working
muscles.
Vitalizer...... is the perfect supplement for daily nutritional support.
Vitalizer contain more than 20 antioxidant compounds and
all the essential vitamins in it"s comprehensive
approach to health, wellness, and vitality.
