I'm a Coach!

Since finding P90X and Beachbody back in Nov 2006, it has been a great journey of Reversing the trend in my nutrition and fitness. I was approaching the BIG 4-0 and with my young family I new time was slipping away. Now five years later in 2012 I really do have the energy and strength of my youth. I am grateful for the quality of products that Beachbody stands behind and the opportunity to be a partner and help others. It has been the extra incentive and accountability that has kept me going strong.

New Energy and Endurance Drink

Tammy and I are just in our second week of P90X2, which is the Foundation Phase (3 to 4 week Phases). The Phase 2 is Strength and Phase 3 is Performance. For now we are not using a Pre-workout Drink, but come Phase 2 and especially Phase 3 we will be trying the new Energy and Endurance. I like that it does not have Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate or ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate.

Energy and Endurance contains: No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. And No high-risk or untested ingredients.

If you want often perform intense exercise like long runs or Cross-country skiing (when the snow finally flies) you may want to give it a try. Once we are Bringing it hard to Phase 2 & 3 of P90X2 I will trying it and reporting my thoughts. Like all the products it is a 30-day money back guarantee.

P.S. - information on Anhydrous caffeine :

Anhydrous Caffeine
Anhydrous caffeine is simply dehydrated caffeine -- anhydrous means "without water." It is available in pill or tablet form, or as a soluble powder. Anhydrous caffeine is found in a number of non-prescription medications such as Vivarin and No-Doze. According to Drugs.com, these medications contain 200 mg of anhydrous caffeine per tablet. A cup of coffee may contain 40 mg to 180 mg, depending on how it is brewed. Tea varies from 20 mg to 90 mg per 8 oz. cup. Cola and other soft drinks contain 36 mg to 90 mg in 12 oz., and bittersweet chocolate has 25 mg of caffeine per ounce.

It's The Same Thing
Although anhydrous caffeine may be more convenient than coffee or other forms of caffeinated beverages since it can be carried in a purse, suitcase or pocket, there is no difference chemically between anhydrous and regular caffeine. Anhydrous caffeine does provide a standard dose; brewed drinks can vary according to the amount of water used, brewing time or method.

Considerations and Warnings
Caffeine is generally recognized as safe when consumed in moderate amounts; in large doses it can cause sleeplessness. Drugs.com recommends women who are pregnant should limit caffeine intake to 300 mg or three cups of coffee a day due to the risk of miscarriage and because it may limit growth of the fetus. Women who are breastfeeding should also limit caffeine intake to one or two cups a day and should avoid taking over-the-counter caffeine medications due to the possible effect on the baby.

As always, to your Health
