Protein or Not?
The start of the warm weather generally means the start of many of our workouts. We tend to over exert ourselves this time of year to catch up. The winter dormancy along with tax stress typically makes me more aggressive in the gym. Malnutrition and dehydration can become big problems during intense workouts. I want to give you some personal tips that help me get through my routines safely.
I begin before I even get to the gym. I like to use my blender to concoct some delicious, nutritious smoothies. I fill my blender bottle and head to the gym killing it along the way. This approach saves me a lot of time and who doesn’t need time? If i hit the gym in the evening, I generally make a super food drink with ingredients a little different from the breakfast. These drinks can be made specific to your taste buds.
The workout can be whatever you wish. I generally warm up on the treadmill for about ten minutes to get the blood flowing. After I break a sweat and feel increased heart beats, I do a 45 minute weight-lifting routine on two general muscle groups. I follow my weight routine with another 30 minute treadmill run. I always drink a natural protein shake after my workout to ensure fast muscle recovery.
