Faster Recovery

Repair and Build Muscles With Faster Recovery TRY "PHYSIQUE"

In the last decade, significant research has been published relative to protein supplementation, recovery from exercise, and muscle development. Shaklee’s clinical research demonstrated that a protein-carbohydrate complex consumed immediately after exercise enhanced recovery from exercise when compared to consuming carbohydrate alone. More recent work has shown significantly greater gains in muscle mass and strength when protein is ingested immediately following resistance exercise.

It's important to supplement after a hard ride to rid your body of the free radicals from training. It's also important to address your immune system to replenish those nutrients that have been depleted or exhausted. Far too many athletes don't recover properly and continue to have poor training days and or performances, and even worse, get sick. Many of you have heard me talk about that "window of opportunity" that exists immediately post workout-the 30 minute window is the time when the athlete needs to take advantage of re-fueling muscles. If you take advantage of this window your body will adapt to the training by storing more and more glycogen...your premium fuel in the muscles.

The most important ingredients to include in recovery nutrition are protein and carbohydrates. The best ratio is a 3-1 or 4-1 of carb to protein. I recommend a recovery drink immediately post exercise; one that includes this ratio along with chromium as an ingredient. With Chromium, glycogen synthesis can be improved by as much as 300% vs. no supplementation at all. That's huge!

PHYSIQUE RECOVERY DRINK

Muscle Recovery After Hard Rides

One important ingredient necessary to aid in muscle retention/recovery or building is a broad-spectrum natural protein supplement that will provide the body with the needed building blocks to increase strength and muscle size without risking an excessive amount of any single amino acid. Nutritional experts prefer complete protein supplements, which supply all of the essential amino acids in concentrated form.

Shaklee’s Muscle “Strength and Recovery” drink was specifically designed as a Sports Nutrition Product to maximize training efforts.
· It is a healthy, drug-free way to build lean muscle mass
· It helps you to recover more quickly from a workout
· It is designed to stimulate your own natural, anabolic muscle-building/retention process
· It gives a faster energy return, so you can maintain a more strenuous workout
· If you are working hard for body building or strength, it creates OPTIMAL conditions for maximum muscle mass and strength development.
Even though this phenomenal product was designed for athletes, it is useful to anyone who has a desire to maintain excellent muscle strength, mass and tone (see end notes on the benefits to senior citizens).

To better understand the product, let’s review how muscle strength and mass are formed.
· When you work a muscle hard, you actually break down muscle tissue. This is called a “catabolic state”.
· The muscle then rebuilds itself larger and stronger than it was before. This building stage is called the “anabolic state”.
· After a workout your body needs to rebuild and restore energy to torn-down, exhausted muscles. With the right nutrition at the right time you can help accelerate and maximize this process.
· Research shows that what an athlete consumes AFTER A WORKOUT may be as important to muscle building as the workout itself.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to move the anabolic, or building and recovering stage of muscle into high gear without the use of steroids or other drugs (that have unpleasant short-term and dangerous long-term effects). That is exactly what Shaklee Physique does. Taking Physique immediately after a workout and then 2 hours later helps athletes of all skill levels and anyone who requires muscle repair to experience recovery, muscle gain, and restored muscle energy.
