Supplements

Supplements.... Supplements... Where to begin!

The fitness industry can be a very messy, intimidating and contain a lot of misleading information. Supplements are a huge money maker for companies because everyone is looking for that "magical pill" to make them fit into those high school jeans.
If you know me, I am a very naturalist person but I also do take supplements. I love to find very natural supplements and limit my caffeine intake.

**Disclosure- I am not paid to represent any of these products. They are all just products that I like and recommend to everyone in the fitness world.

My schedule:
Wake up at 4:30 AM- Take my pre-workout from WM Nutrition & L-Carnitine from Ideal Fit
During my workout- sip on Ideal Fit's BCAAs & WM nutrition Hydrenengery
After my workout- IdealFit Protein Powder
At breakfast- Glucosamine and daily multi-vitamin

Here are what they look like and links to where you can buy them:

Pre workout- WM Nutrition
I've never been big on taking caffeine, but when you are waking up at 4:30 every day... I need a little somethin' somethin' to get me through the day! The flavors are great as well! 

L-Carnitine- Ideal Fit
Ideal FIt- L-Carnitine
This is a supplement that I take right when I wake up on an empty stomach. This aids in supporting a healthy metabolism, aid in fat loss and is a non-stimulant. I notice that I sweat more when I take this product. So far I have seen great results since I have added this to my dietary intake. 

Hydrenergy- WM Nutrition
Hydrenergy- WM Nutrition System
This is what I take when I am really training hard. I have always struggled with proper hydration. This products makes me feel amazing and keeps me hydrated with electrolytes. Love mixing this with my BCAAs. 

BCAAs & Protein Powder
Ideal Fit- BCAAs
Ideal Fit- Protein Powder
These two are probably my most favorite and most used products. I love my BCAAs and protein powder. To me, protein powder has always tasted so chalky and is loaded with added sugars and extra calories. This has 20 grams of protein, 80 calories and no added sugars! It tastes amazing as well! My favorite flavor is the Chocolate Coconut. 
The BCAAs help me recover and I take them every day. These are the building blocks of protein. My favorite flavor is the Peach Lemonade or the Grape Explosion! 

Try these out and tell me what you think! What are your favorite supplements? 

Happy Running,
Kylie

Strength Training vs Cardio Junkies Debate

As I was pounding away some miles on the boring treadmill, I was thinking. I don’t know about you, but it feels like the fitness world is becoming more and more divided. I get that in life we have different talents and passions. But I feel like there is a war waging and it is getting intense out there. It is a war against weight lifting verses cardio junkies. I feel like these two worlds are growing farther and farther apart. I have a lot of visions, hopes and dreams. One of my aspirations is to merge these two divided groups. I have done a little self-research and I think that it is so interesting the feelings between these two groups. I was talking to some body builders and they pretty much talked about cardio like it was a disease and how they didn’t want anything to do with it. They often expressed their feelings as though people were just wasting their time on those cardio machines. As I talked to some people who only believe in cardio, who said they can go a whole year without ...

When You Find Yourself in a Failed Workout

I've talked about the marathon a lot before. It is a race that consists of thousands of hours training for, hundreds of miles ran, countless hours of strength training, hill training, speed work, tempo runs, and the list could go on and on. I would like to talk about finding yourself in those rough training days. Whether you are training for a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, or any endurance competition. I know that we have all had them. What do we do? Quit? Give up? Keep pushing through? This can happen on any given training day. Short runs, long runs, speed work or even strength training work. I am a big believer in listening to your body. Do not mistake me here, if you are listening to your body and giving it what it needs, your body will give you more on race day if you respect it during training. There are those training sessions that you need to compete. I usually like to get in three 20-mile runs before a marathon. And some days, you just do not want to run that 20. I...
