Why?

Your body needs to recover quickly following a workout or your workout may have been a waste of time. We know that this is a bold statement, but it is true. Millions of people workout hard and never see any real changes because they get the nutrition wrong. Don’t be like them–GET NUTRITION RIGHT.

What Do You Mean

Calories ingested within 30 minutes post-workout are not used the same way as the rest of the calories are used throughout the day. Post-workout calories refuel the glycogen (stored sugar) that your body used during exercise. Even if you are tying to burn fat, you need to replace calories NOW.

Lots of people just drink water after an intense, extended workout. This may put your body into a catabolic (muscle-wasting) state, which means that you are burning muscle for energy instead of carbs (and certainly not fat!). Over time this makes it harder and harder to burn fat because you have less muscle to keep your metabolism high. Drinking a post-workout Recovery Shake will quickly provide energy, keep your metabolism high and in turn burn fat and build muscle.

Remember, it’s not a matter of consuming more calories in a day, rather timing those calories to when your body needs them most.  A Recovery Shake refuels your body at the right time keeping your metabolism humming!
