Blog week 3
Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Thanks for tuning in. I hope you are all taking care of yourselves during these crazy times. If you have any quotes or inspirational words please feel free to share in the comments. Most of us need to read encouraging words to uplift ourselves during these crazy times.
How was my workout session this week?
This week I was only able to see my trainer once for an hour because on my side of town, the weather was crazy. However, I was still able to work out from home that one day. There are several great workouts that you can do in your home. Below I will share a few that you can try during your free time.
Few exercises to do at home
Bicep curl
Chest press
Shoulder press
Lateral walk (wrap the band around your thighs)
(You can do all these home workouts with the exercise rubber band)
Protein shakes
As I promised in my last blog post, today, I wanted to share more info about the effectiveness of protein shakes. It is a great way to gain or lose weight. If you want to gain weight like myself I recommend drinking a protein shake before and after going to the gym. The protein shake that I take is called Pro Performance and I purchased it at GNC. This shake is a high calorie mass gainer and it also supports muscle energy, recovery, and growth. There are times that I do not want to drink it after so I make sure to drink lots of water and eat a snack. However, my trainer did recommend drinking it after all my workouts but it is okay if you miss a day. There is also another drink you can take during your workout. I did not purchase it but I will post it soon as it is in stock again.
Multi vitamin: I take two multivitamins a day. One in the morning and one in the evening. The brand of this vitamin is HealthdotFIT. I purchased it at the gym too but you can also order it online. It’s originally 30 dollars or more because it brings 60 tablets.
SIDE NOTE: Make sure to not drink too many protein shakes per day. Your body is only able to take a certain amount of protein. This all depends on your gender and diet. If you have further questions about this please reach out. I can share a few links where I found all my sources. I make sure to do my research on scholarly sites before posting.
Tips of the week :
Make sure to ask your doctor what he/she recommends you take. If you have any food allergies make sure you read what’s in the multivitamins.
Make sure to eat a snack with your protein shake!
