*Before you ever use any supplements, it’s important that you check with your doctor first*

Q: Which Beachbody supplements do you take?

A: Supplements that I used and recommend are Shakeology, the P90X Whey Protein, P90X Recovery Formula, and Core Omega 3. I use Shakeology as a meal replacement for lunch or breakfast and occasionally as a post workout recovery drink. Take the whey protein twice a day: once in the morning and right after you work out if you’re not taking the Recovery Formula. If you are, take the whey protein an hour after the workout.

Q: What is Shakeology?

A: Shakeology is probably the most popular supplement that Beachbody has to offer, and it acts as a meal replacement.  This is by far the best tasting and best overall supplement I’ve ever used, and one I highly recommend!You can learn more about Shakeology by clicking here.

Q: What is the Recovery Formula?

A: As you know, when you workout you are tearing your muscles. Immediately after you’re done with your training for the day, those muscles you used go into “recovery” mode and start rebuilding. In order to rebuild properly, they need protein and carbohydrates to carry that protein. They “feed” your muscles and allow them to make a better recovery and get stronger! It’s good to take this after both cardio and resistance workouts.

Q: Should I take the Recovery Formula after cardio workouts?

A: Yes, you should take the Recovery Formula after every intense workout! The only one I wouldn’t take it after is X Stretch.

Q: Should I take the Recovery Formula after I work out if it’s late at night?

A: Even if you work out late and go to bed shortly afterwards, you still need to take the Recovery Formula!

Q: What do you think about the P90X Protein Bars?

A: The P90X Protein Bars are by far my favorite that I have tried! They contain a lot of protein (18 grams), which helps with your protein requirements, as well as a good amount of carbohydrates (37 grams), which help you keep your energy level up throughout the day. There are 3 flavors: Cafe Mocha, Wildberry, and Chocolate Peanut Butter, and they are all excellent! I use them as snacks, as well as for pre and post-workout supplementation.
