How to Recover Faster & Stronger

Post-exercise nutrition and recovery is all about giving the body what it needs to perform at an optimal level. At the end of each training session, be sure to consume a mixture of carbohydrates and protein immediately afterward within 10-30 minutes. At that point, muscle cells are revved up and wide open and ready to soak up nutrients. By refueling muscle cells with carbohydrates and protein combination you expedite the recovery process by allowing greater glycogen storage (stored energy supplies) and maximum lean-muscle growth.

Ideally, you should have a post-workout recovery shake such as Performance Elite Post-Exercise Recovery shake for quick absorption, or wholefood alternatives such as low-fat greek yogurt with a banana or tuna on whole wheat bread. These choices are effective ratios of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and they include fiber and vital vitamins, and minerals which helps minimize soreness and optimizes muscle recovery. Try both Post-Exercise Recovery shakes and wholefood alternative options on separate occasions and choose the one that works best for you.
