P90X Recovery Drink
So Tony Horton brings up the recovery drink many times in several of the workouts. I wanted to tell you why it is a fantastic product and better than many other ones out there. I first was very sceptical about buying any supplements as I wanted to build muscle naturally. My stubbornness has kept me behind schedule and without the proper nutrients. Before I started on the recovery drink or after-workout drink I only took protein shakes about every other day. I’m now on my second time through P90X and take a drink of this stuff after every workout besides the cardio ones. They say you need anywhere from 60-90 grams of protein a day. Now as you recall on my main page I want to stress that I’m not a nutritionist and do not claim to be. I solely speak from experience of using the products and that’s it.
The reason why the Recovery drink is so important is because of how intense these workouts are. You are non stop working out for approximately 50-55 minutes and your body is shocked. Here are three reasons why I use the recovery drink:
1. Helps reduce soreness.
There are several workouts that seriously kick your teeth in and those are Chest and Back, Back and Biceps and Chest ,Shoulders and Triceps . When you wake up the next day your body is hurting and you need something to help and I found out the hard way that Motrin doesn’t help. The recovery drink should be used after any workout that involves lots of push ups, pull ups, or curls. I didn’t believe that the soreness would go away nor did I believe that it would help. So I borrowed a couple from a cousin of mine that tried them. All he said was “Dude this stuff tastes good and it helped me with my soreness”. I took them home and tried it after the chest and back exercise and yes it did give me energy and it really helped me feel less sore the next day. I know You probably think I’m just trying to sell this stuff. Frankly I don’t care if you try this one or go buy it from your local health store but you need something. I just know this one and have included it into my daily lifestyle.
2. Replenishes Nutrients.
Think about all the vitamins and nutrients our body needs? Well let me tell you that you need more than your going to get in this bag of Recovery mix. The shake has all the proper nutrients to keep you and your body moving while or after working out. I always thought that if I drank stuff like this then I would be cheating myself and not deserving the results that I got from just working out. Well let me tell you that I didn’t even bring the recovery drink into my life until round two of P90x. Look at my results and that was all natural with a few protein shakes per week. So why not just do it natural like I did? Go ahead and try it and you will notice that giving yourself a boost is much needed. The nice thing with this product is that it contains a small portion of creatine so you will probably see faster results than I did.
3. Restore’s Energy.
I have been doing my workouts at 5:30 in the morning so after an hour and a half workout I want to go to go back to bed. The plan is to consume the drink within 1 hour after working out. See I am a sale rep and drive about 1500 miles per week so imagine how tired you get after a workout like P90x. I regret not buying this the first time through the program but that’s why I’m writing and telling you not to make the same mistake. After working out and taking this drink I feel fantastic and very alert on the road. I buy the packets instead of the tub because I travel and stay overnight a few times a month. The packet gives me the right portion for a 12 ounce glass of water. I didn’t get to mention the taste of it as well because I have bought a couple of knock offs and they taste gritty. This one tastes like a an orange push up pop from the ice cream truck.
