Transformation Tuesday: 5 Supplements That Will Transform Your Workouts

Those that are looking to improve their performance, their health, their fitness can potentially hit a plateau. If you're into fitness, you've probably been in a similar situation where your training routine dulls, your workout buddy gets bored or the results you are achieving aren't at your liking. Those also into fitness probably have heard of or been health and fitness stores that have several powdered supplements all promising results and recovery.  Personally, I have tried some, most of which either made me jittery or didn't have any benefit at all.

At the beginning of the year, there was hinting that Beachbody was coming out with their own performance line. Personally, I got super excited because I knew from the research that went into Shakeology before it was released that the quality they present in their products is at the highest you can find. Beachbody has a Director of Scientific Affairs, Dr. Alamdari, that was a former Harvard professor who created a supplement line that has officially released.

The line consists of 5 supplements known as Energize, Hydrate, Recover, Recharge and Creatine. Beachbody is known for exercise. Now adding world-class performance nutrition makes this a dynamic duo. When the team set out to develop the line they had a simple mission-to create a line of supplements for any serious exerciser utilizing cutting edge science as well as phytonutrients, plant-based extracts and natural ingredients all while avoid artificial sweeteners and preservatives.

This process was not quick nor was it easy. Beachbody established a board of highly qualified individuals  including performance nutritionists, microbiologists, ethnobotanists and Harvard medical staff. They strive to be the best in the world for a reason-to give their customers what they deserve- high quality performance.

The Supplement Breakdown:

• Energize- pre workout mix that increases focus, delays muscle fatigue utilizing three key ingredients (low dose caffeine from green tea, beta-alanine the amino acid that reduces fatigue and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients that increase the production of mitochondria.
• Hydrate- Utilized during workouts to keep you well hydrated while replenishing electrolytes. Hydrate is different from other supplements because it contains fewer particles making it easier for the body to absorb through the bloodstream faster.
• Recover- Taken right after you workout  so that your muscles go into the rebuilding mode. Research proves that when you consume protein within 30 minutes of working out you give your body the building blocks to effective perform and rebuild.
• Recharge- Taken before bed- this supplement contains micellar casein protein (especially pure protein) that is useful during sleep because it slows the absorbing nature keeping the muscle synthesis process going strong throughout the process. It also contains the anti-inflammatory substance tart cherry extract that has been proven to help sleep quality.
• Creatine- Proven safe, this creatine monohydrate is the most proven form around. It has been sourced from Germany who is known for their purity in their creatine. 

What is awesome on top of all of this is the Beachbody Performance Line is NSF certified for sport! This is the same program that has been recognized by organizations such as the NFL and PGA. 

Personally, at coach summit I bought the trial package to try out all of the supplements and I know that this is going to be a part of my regular routine to truly achieve my fitness goals and optimize the functioning of my body.
