Happy Wednesday everyone!! I hope you are all having a wonderful week thus far. I know I promised to post my current kettle bell workout routine, but I'm waiting for my hubs to have some time to take pictures of me doing them to share with you guys. I promise to post it this week. In the mean time I wanted to share my must have supplements I am taking that are working for me.
note: This is what works for me and what makes me feel good at the end of the day. This may not be for you and that's okay.
1. Spark- Instead of coffee or any other type of caffined beverage, I love my Spark by Advocare. I don't feel gittery, but it gives me the same engery that I was addicted to when I was obessed with drinking Monsters. My heart is thanking me.
2. Biotin- I haven't had the best hair and nails in the world since I had my son, so I love this supplement because it helps strengthen my nails and hair. One cool thing it also promotes fat and protein metabolism.
3. B-12- I have Chronic Anemia and keep low B-12 levels. There was a time I had to take shots once a week, prescribed by the doctor until we got it under control. So with that being said I take a B-12 vitamin to help keep my level at a normal state. B-12 is something that is found in most diet and pre-workout supplements. It helps promote weight loss and helps the nervous system work better. You can find them at any drug or super store. I don't have a certain brand I stick with, I generally pick on that is on sale at the time.
4. Iron- As I stated before due to my anemia, I also take an iron supplement to keep from needing shots at the doctors office. Please check with your doctor before getting on an iron supplement regiment.
( I take the numbered supplements above first thing in the morning with my Spark or my lemon water.)
5. O2 Gold- This is another Advocare product I am absolutely in love with. It enhances the body's use of oxygen as well as supporting muscle building and recovery. I take this an hour before a run or any cardio workout. I can tell the difference when I forget to take it.
6. Catalyst- This is has been one of my favorite game changers for me. I take this 15-20 mins before any workout. It supports muscle tone and enhances strength and energy.
7. Post- Workout Recovery- After an good workout, I drink a post workout protein shake. You can find many different kinds at GNC or even Walmart. What has honestly worked best for me is Advocare's Proformance Elite Post- Workout Recovery. By drinking a shake after your workout you are feeding your muscles the nutrition they need and will decrease soreness.
If you have any questions about the vitamins or supplements listed please email me or comment below. I am a distributor of Advocare because I just fell in love with the products unlike the ones I have used and tried before that I didn't like or rather my body didn't work well with. Remember to check with your doctor before getting on any supplements. I am not posting this in hopes to promotes sells but rather share what I love and works for me in my life. If you are interested in these or any other Advocare products, and don't have distributor near you I am more than happy to assist you.
