Beachbody Performance Supplement

In late July Beachbody had introduced their Beachbody performance line. The line contains four powder drinks formulated with key ingredients to scientifically proven to be effective.

The above picture shows the four drinks. Let me explain each of the drinks:
Top left is the pre workout drink: Energize. Energize improves intense exercise performance, increases energy and endurance, and sharpens focus, and reaction time. The flavor is lemon.
Top right is the during work out drink: Hydrate. Supports hydration during exercise, replaces electrolytes lost during exercise, fuels working muscles, and improves endurance. Hydrate is a citrus flavor.
Bottom left is the post work out drink: Recover. Speeds muscle recovery, promotes lean muscle synthesis, combats exercise-induced muscle soreness, and improves muscle strength recovery. The flavor is chocolate (so yummy I almost forget to snap a pic!)
Bottom right is the drink you take prior to going to bed: Recharge. Supports overnight muscle recovery, improves overnight adaptation to exercise, promotes lean muscle synthesis, and reduces muscle breakdown. Recharge is a vanilla flavor.
There is also the creatine. This add-on has no flavor and mixes well with the Post-Workout formula to improve high intensity exercise performance, increase muscle strength and power, and enhance the effects of resistance training.


How did I like these?
I really enjoyed all four of these products. They all have a really nice flavor. I started my day off with my regular shake. You have to time these all right as they do have times suggested to take these (either prior or post workout). The energize be warned will give you a tingly feeling. I was told that this is normal. With the energize and the hydrate I could really feel myself pushing harder during my workout (currently doing Chalean). I was a sweaty mess too...more so than I ever am. Recover really cooled me down. The nice thing about the recharge was that it curbed a sweet tooth attack on Friday night (LOL). But I even woke up on Saturday with less muscle ache than I usually do after a good weight work out!!

I found these to be great products and like I said, really felt a difference with my work outs. I felt more energized and ready to tackle my program.

Note: If you are following the 21 day fix these do not count as any of your containers.
