Post-workout recovery drinks? Which is right for you?

Hello everyone!

Ever wondered why you see people gulping down drinks from their shaker bottles after their workouts at the gym?

The body’s glycogen stores are fairly limited, so the ability to resynthesize or replace glycogen is a critical part of recovery between events or even when training sessions are close together.

In some cases this replenishment may need to be accomplished in just a few hours.

Another large part of the recovery process is rehydration. Losses in fluid levels of more than two percent of total body weight can lead to drops in performance of more than ten percent.

So what can we take after a light or maybe grueling workout to refuel?

Best for Long-Distance Events: Cherry juice

How it works: Scientists suspect antioxidants are the key to limiting the inflammation and muscle damage after a half-marathon or other endurance event, and tart cherries are considered one of the most antioxidant-dense super fruits. Athletes have found it’s best to start “recovery” work a week early and regular consumption can help with muscle recovery even faster!

Recovery Rx: Drink 2 glasses a day for the 5 days before event, on the big day, and on the next day.

Best for Strength Training: Low-fat chocolate milk

How it works: Many experts have long touted milk as a magical muscle building drink—by ingesting protein after a strength training workout your muscles have the proper fuel to recover and grow.

Recovery Rx: Drink one glass of low-fat milk(opt for non-dairy if you like) immediately after your workout.

Best for Yoga or Pilates: Coconut water

How it works: Coconut water contains a tremendous amount of potassium, which researchers say ease charley-horse-style aches, and it contains enough antioxidants and minerals to replenish stores that have been diminished by light exercise, such as yoga.

Because of its low sodium content, coconut water isn’t right for recovery after more intense workouts like running.

Recovery Rx: Drink an 8- to 12-ounce serving immediately after class.

Also, listen to your body: Some of us may keep hydrated and fed-well enough during the rest of the day that we might not need any sort of beverage after a workout, even water.

Best sports bra for the right support

Happy Tuesday everyone!

At Active Red, we believe in having an Active lifestyle and stay healthy.

We are always happy to know when like-minded people in the fitness industry share the same values, supporting what we have been doing like Fitz Koehler.

As said Fitz Koehler, a fitness expert who has over 22 years experience teaching fitness all over the globe.

She’s president of Fitzness International, a fitness company which specializes in fitness education via mass media, and fitness programming (Morning Mile). 

Along with teaching to millions in person via seminars, lectures, group classes and personal training in over a dozen countries. Fitz has also promoted fitness through every avenue of mass media; books, television, films, radio, magazines, journals and online.

Besides having a well balanced diet and eating right, we know having the right sports gear is equally as important.

As for women, yes the right set of clothes matters with matching tops and bottoms.

Of course, not forgetting the right sports bra is essential when we workout.

We still want to workout in style and yet want to get to work without having to worry about pain or making a scene.

Here are some suggestions by Fitz that could help you:

Best Bras for Medium Support: Oakley Women has hit it out of the park with a unique combination of support, shape and comfort. Both the Continuity and Breath In sports bras are the kind of bras you’d want to live in every day.

Champion Absolute Workout Bra

Champion Criss-Cross Max Support Bra

Best Bras for Maximum Support: Oh how we’ve wished our boobs would just stay in place! Well ladies, now they will. Champion has an entire arsenal of sports bras which are both gorgeous and sturdy. Champions Custom Criss-Cross and their Absolute Workout bras would be a good addition gear when you head out for a workout or training.

With bras like these, we’ll kick butt with our workouts in comfort and confidence without a hassle now.

Fitz’s mission is to tack ten years on to everyone’s life she comes across. Let’s all be motivated and make an constant effort to keep active and healthy!

Sunday Booster: Going Raw or not?

Hello Everyone!

It’s Sunday, are you all ready to start the week afresh??

Raw, Vegan, Vegetarian? Don’t these few words sound familiar to you?

Yes, one thing for sure. These diets does not include meat in them. People who adapt to these diets in their life have claimed that they feel healthier, easier weight management and they feel younger!

(Click to enlarge)

Source: O Magazine, January 2012

Going raw’s been said to be one of the hardest diets to kickstart as like the name says, you eat everything uncooked. A raw food diet consists of (typically produce, grains, seeds, nuts, and beans) that haven’t been heated above a certain temperature, usually somewhere between 104, and 118 degrees. Cooking destroys enzymes that raw foodists believe are essential to human health.

Having said all of the above, everything in health and fitness is about balance.

Source: O Magazine, January 2012

Eating a well balanced meal following Health Promotion Board’s food pyramid will have you the sufficient nutrients you need in a day.

So have your leafy salads in one big bowl, don’t forget other food sources to give you the energy you need to keep you active!
