What supplements should I use?
I hate when my clients ask me this question. Usually because they are really asking for a quick fix. There is NOT a quick fix. Workout and diet are the two main things that can help. For the average person I would say supper before supplements. Supplements help patch holes, but food should be your primary fuel source. So, start eating clean and then see where you need the extra help.
What if I am already eating clean?
Fish Oil – There are a lot benefits to Fish Oil, but we will focus more on the fitness aspect. Fish Oil has been proven morning stiffness, joint tenderness and arthritis. This will obviously improve your mobility and ability to perform at a higher intensity.
Multi Vitamin – Come on people. Everyone should be taking this.
Beta Alanine- A non-essential amino acid found naturally in the body. Most people don't take it because they are deficient, but because of the fitness benefits. As a precursor of carnosine, beta alanine is essential for muscle production and repair. It helps with muscular anaerobic endurance as well as aerobic endurance. Which means you can go longer and harder. Some people feel a tingling in the skin, but that is the only negative side effect.
Not all supplements are for everyone, so make sure you check with your doctor before using anything.
Be safe!!!
Enjoy Life - Workout!
