So Saturday and Sunday I did absolutely nothing. I have come down with a cold and I am a total baby. I did get 4-20 minute workouts on my elliptical last week and I think it helped. I woke up today and forced myself to do Hammer Power which I was supposed to do Sunday. My throat is paying for it but it was totally worth it!
Heres my plan for the week!
Monday: Hammer Power/ 20min elliptical
Tuesday: Total Body Chisel
Wednesday: Hammer Power
Thursday: Chisel Balance
Friday: Iso Speed Hammer
Saturday: off
Sunday: Chisel Endurance4 -

Supplements & Nutritional Powders?
Everyone in this group is working out quite a bit. What are your thoughts on the value of supplements, omegas, amino acids, protein drinks etc? Am a believer in real food, but take a some supplements such as iron, b12 & D. Am starting magnesium again as my running increases. As a vegetarian, low sugar protein bars really work, and I and Vega as a drink for work out recovery. Would love to hear what you do or do not do!

Great topic Lisa !
Ok so yes, I am also a believer in real food. That said, I do use a few supplements to complete my nutrition as I am not a vegetarian but I eat very little meat. I have a protein shake every morning when I get to the office and always have some on stand-by as with the work I do I can be unable to eat (real food) for hours at a time being with families but I can always be drinking a shake made in water in 10 seconds. It helps a lot.
As supplements, I take omega 3 (cause I eat very very little fish) and Vitamin D in the winter months. Also, magnesium at night (which helps me with regularity
)
When strength training, I tried a coupe things for fun (and for taste) and I like it. I am not absolutely convinced of its validity but that's not THAT important to me. Placebo is fun
Therefore I like to take a "preset" right before a lifting workout and drink either water or an "intra" during the workout. I eat real protein food right after.
When I was running, especially in the summer where we sweat a lot, I used to chug electrolytes in the form of my BCAA of choice.2 -

All I take is a multivitamin and calcium+VitD. I probably could look into taking something more.1 -

I am so glad you brought up this topic! I am currently not taking any supplements or vitamins and reading everyone's posts has made me realize that I can easily improve in this area. Great idea!

In my opinion, it is best to start with making sure you get enough protein, of any type, and if not, complete your intake with iso protein of your favorite flavor.
This is an example of a preset I like:

And one of an intra I like:

I find it all more fun than anything else honestly but the preset really makes my skin tingle (it is a known side effect of the beta alanine) and it gives me a boost of energy (placebo or not)

Hey y'all been MIA the past couple of days. Couldn't work out monday so my schedule is set back a day. Have total body tomorrow. I take athlean x pre and post workout, and a multivitamin. Just started taking wheat grass juice powder to get extra nutrients. Sorry I've been MIA, hope you ladies have had a productive week!1
