What is the Recovery Formula?
As you know, when you workout you are tearing your muscles. Immediately after you’re done with your training for the day, those muscles you used go into “recovery” mode and start rebuilding. In order to rebuild properly, they need protein and carbohydrates to carry that protein. They “feed” your muscles and allow them to make a better recovery and get stronger! It’s good to take this after both cardio and resistance workouts. To know whether or not your body needs the Recovery Formula, ask yourself the following 2 questions:
1) Do I feel sore and tight for most of the day following my workout?
2) Do I feel wiped out and out of energy later in the day following my workout?
If you answered “Yes” to either of these, the Recovery Formula will do wonders for you. Remember, though, it’s 200 calories, so you’ll have to factor that into your totals for the day. If you are trying to keep the calories low (like I was), you can try ½ scoop and see if that does the trick.
