Drinks: Recovery, Protein and Shakeology

For Pre-Workout Drink see New Energy and Endurance Drink



Recovery drinks, protein shakes, and Shakeology are all intended to serve different functions, and wouldn't ideally be used interchangeably.

Recovery drinks are simple-sugar based, and have (relatively) small amounts of fast-absorbing protein (like whey), typically in a ratio between 2:1 and 5:1 of carbs:protein. The P90X Results and Recovery Formula has a 4:1 ratio. They are intended to be taken after intense workouts (within 20 minutes), when the cells of the body are expanded and primed for nutrient replenishment. The simple sugars rush in and replenish your depleted glycogen stores, and also help to carry the protein where it needs to go to begin muscle synthesis. The only time you want to take this amount of simple sugar is immediately following an exhausting workout, when your body's fat storage protocol is in temporary shutdown. One other I have tried Endurox R4 Recovery Drink Mix.


Protein shakes are typically low in carbs and fat, and are intended to add supplemental protein to your diet. While some people use them immediately following workouts, recent research shows that this may not be the ideal application. Too much protein (i.e. upwards of 20 grams, which most protein shakes have) will slow the body's absorption of the nutrients, causing you to miss the 30-45 minute replenishment window that your body has post-workout. If you want to take a shake to up your protein intake during the day, by all means do so, I would just shift it from immediately post-workout to later in the day. We purchase our Naturally sweetened Whey Protein from Vitacost (here is my Refer a Friend Link to give you $10 off your order)

Shakeology is also supplemental in nature, as it's intended to add phytonutrients (plant concentrates) to your diet to increase the amount of vital nutrients you get from fruits and veggies.
It is not designed to be for post-workout, as it has a good amount of fiber and is relatively high in protein, both of which will slow absorption (just like a protein shake would). Look to Spotlighting some of the 70 ingredients in Shakeology for a more information. The Shakeology ingredients that target good digestive health are Flax seed meal, Schisandra Powder, Yacon Root and Chlorella (See Special Spot light on Chlorella ).

My Success is Lasting Change

 Tammy and I are currently on a rest week. We just completed 60-days of Les Mills COMBAT and will now be waiting for our free T-shirts. It was a fun time doing Combat and it turned out to be a great maintenance program for us. We started the routine doing the “Warrior” basic program, but at week 5 we wanted more so we switch to the “Ultimate Warrior Hybrid” routine. The more advanced upper & lower body workouts were a bit more like the other “extreme” programs like P90X and Insanity. Now during this time of rest I am looking back over not just the past 60-days, but the past 6 years. What does my success look like? You know… Decide, Commit, Succeed. Some of you know my Journey began late one night back in Nov. 2007. Comforting a newborn late at night I stumbled on a P90X commercial. It was the challenge I needed.

Baby Kensley

I was turning 40 soon and had lost much of my “zing” in life. I was starting to hurt myself trying to be the athlete that I no longer was. Fast forward 6-plus years and I would say that my success was not in pounds lost or even body fat change (although it went from near 20% to 6%), but the success of having stuck with it. I like to say, I Reversed the Trend. I am well into my 40’s and not “Over the Hill” on a coast downward but “Charging the Hill”. So we all measure success in different ways, but I have been very grateful to have found something like Team Beachbody to continue to push and challenge me in both my nutrition and fitness. I do feel like I have come so far. My prayer is that you are also on a similar journey.

Tony Time

Come April 1st it will be back to P90X. We may toss in some Insanity for cardio substitutions every so often, but it will be mostly Tony Horton until July. I like Tony (enough to listen to his jokes over and over) and honestly someday hope we can go skiing together. Along with the workouts we will be looking into Going Vegan, P90X® Style. Our nutrition since the Ultimate Reset in October is still very much plant-based. It has been working for us. Tony has a good article Flexitarian- WHAT DIET IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Lastly on the Tony front, here is The Bring It Minute with Tony Horton to check out.

If you want to join Tammy and I on April 1st with P90X or any other workout we are having people join a closed Facebook group each month as part of the “Beachbody Challenge”. If you want to step up and join us message my or find me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jaybbcoach

March Challenge Pack Discount

There are still a few days left in March for the P90X & P90X2 discounts. The pack is Fitness + Nutrition + Support = Success. You receive the P90X or P90X2 fitness program, one of four Shakeology flavors, and a free 30-day trial membership to the Team Beachbody Club. The reduced price is from $205 to $180.

Here are the Links – P90X or P90X2

The Ultimate Reset is also discounted in March by $30. You can reply to me to discuss it this is for you and the different ordering options.

Grand-fathered in

It is time to get locked in on the pricing of the Chocolate and Greenberry Shakeology before the increase on April 1, 2013. Shakeology is increasing by .33 cents a day for the original flavors (Which will match the current pricing of the vegan formulas). When we launched Shakeology gas prices were less than $2... We are paying $4.50 now.. Gas increased 125% and that impacts every raw ingredient price and has resulted in annual shipping rate increases -- but Shakeology's price only increased 8.33% during that same period of time. Good news is that if you on HD now or have an HD order placed before April 1st you are locked in on the current price for life. HD (Home-Direct) orders also get free shipping and handling and can be set on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly or even semi-annual shipping schedule and also altered anytime. It is only the flavor that has to remain either Chocolate or Greenberry to keep the pricing in tacked. Also the 30-day empty bag money back guarantee still applies. So place order before April 1st even for an order that does not even start shipping until June. Contact me for details.

Tammy's Post - You're not a Number, You're Strong!

I wanted to Re-post a Post Tammy made on our Family Blog.
Reversing The Trend -- You Are Not A Number, You Are Strong!

******************************************************************
The joy of Christmas is upon our home and treats and feasting abound. I wish I could say that my little fit self is no worse for the wear this Holiday season but I cannot. Each time I wake up and done my workout clothes my shorts let me know that the season of eating has settled in, literally. It was my hope that INSANITY/ASYLUM was going to stave off the seasonal weight gain but I was wrong, but oh what a mess I would be in if I wasn't training myself each morning to just show up and do my best. I read this article this morning and I think it really could speak to so many during this season and each day.

6 Reasons Why Weighing Yourself is a Bad Idea

We really ought not to allow the scale to dictate our health, our self-esteem or our happiness. Our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit and we should make it a nice place for Him to dwell, both physically and spiritually. We should have good health not twiggy little bodies or unreasonable goals. We should worship the Lord with our inner thoughts and feelings in regard to ourselves because yes, He is listening and out of the heart the mouth speaks. We are God's workmanship, His very creation and he created us to glorify him and to do good works. So, don't put yourself down because of what the scale says but rather glorify the Lord and prepare yourself to be God's best through taking care of yourself, spiritually and physically. Now, yes, I know our spiritual life is number one in the whole realm and scheme of things but our physical life can impact how we carry that out, so we need to take care of our bodies. So, please don't think I am preaching body and fitness is number one, because I am not. I know from first hand experience, that when we are right in our heads and hearts about our bodies then we are more effective ministers of the truth to those around us. When we feel good about ourselves we are more able to let the Lord's love shine through and do the good works He has purposed for us to do.

So how do I do it? Well it is simple, I didn't say easy, just simple---Decide, Commit, Succeed. That is the motto of Team Beachbody. Deciding dosen't do it, but committing does. If you commit you will succeed. I get up at 5:30 every morning and workout. I mean really workout, not just glisten. I sweat, I grunt and I work hard for however long the day's workout is going to be. I might take an non-prescribed break but I don't stop and I don't give up and I have succeeded at becoming healthier and stronger. Notice I said "healthier and stronger," not thinner. The number on the scale is not where I want it to be, in fact the number is currently nowhere near pre-baby four's number and I struggle. However, I decided and committed and I am stronger. I wish I fit into pre-baby four pants but I don't. I am stronger and challenged to do things that I never would have thought of or attempted. I am so thankful for the challenges BeachBody provides and here is a little look at what I or should I say Jay and I have done this year and what we hope to accomplish in the next:

P90X


INSANITY/THE ASYLUM


P90X2


PUMP
Blog Post on Les Mills PUMP

Tuff Mudder


So as we look to 2012 remember you are not your number and you are only one decision and one commitment away from success. If you are up for the challenge, let's talk because together we can Reverse the Trend and be healthier, fitter and stronger!
