Fuel Your Workout

Sometimes it can be frustrating to continue to work out when you see little results. Or you just have trouble motivating yourself or finding the energy to go to the gym, especially now that it’s cold outside. Who wants to get out of their warm, cozy bed in the middle of winter? We all have those moments when we lack any sort of motivation to do something physical. However, you know once you get up it will be totally worth it when bathing suit season comes around.

A good workout depends on getting that energy, and it also depends on your diet and how you take care of your body. In order to fully get the benefits of a good workout, you need to eat right and rest appropriately. Without the proper vitamins and supplements, your body won’t gain muscle. At Pharmaca, they have all sorts of natural products designed to help you make the most of your workout and help you get results. If you’re looking to add a little more muscle, you can check out a variety of protein powder choices, such as Whey Protein Powder Drink Mix Chocolate Flavor or Garden of Life Raw Protein Organic. If you’re not getting enough protein in your body, you can’t make muscle, so it’s important that you make sure you get your daily dose of protein, from powder or from food.

There’s also a big selection of electrolytes and endurance powders and supplements that will help give you the energy before and during a workout, especially if you’re working out for a long period of time. Products such as the Genuine Health ActivFuel+ Black Raspberry Lemonade and Alacer ElectroMIX will give you an extra boost to get through your workout, whether it’s three miles or ten. You can take it before, or even during, if you feel like your energy is waning and you just want to get through it.

After you finish exercising, you need to give your body the correct nutrients so it can repair itself correctly, and not cause injury to yourself later. Supplements like Genuine Health ActivRecover+ Orange or the Thorne Performance Rebound Post-Exercise Muscle Soreness Relief will help you to recover, and keep you from becoming too sore. And it gives your body the nutrients it needs to properly construct the muscle, and not just break down your tissue as sometimes happens if you don’t properly recover after a workout.

So next time you think you’re not seeing any results or you find that your energy is waning, just check out Pharmaca for a variety of supplements to help you get results out of your workout. Give yourself that extra fuel to make it through, whether it’s a marathon, bike ride, or even Zumba or yoga. Every exercise counts.
