Have you ever worked out and felt so sore the next few days you couldn't workout?
If that's you then this post may be of some interest to you. I spent days recovering after workouts taking 2 steps forward, 1 step backward. I would feel like my downtime inhibited my progress and found it hard to meet my goals. That is, until I found....THIS!
Meet my best friend....BCAAs aka branched-chain amino acids. I was skeptical at first but once I tried it I felt like being sore, tired and long recoveries were a thing of my past.
Facts about BCAAs:
• It is naturally found in protein
• They are found to be an indicator of lean mass
• Those who consume essential amino acids that contain BCAAs with each meal have less visceral belly fat and more muscle mass
• BCAAs inhibit the breakdown of muscle cells
• BCAAs play an important role in muscle and energy production during exercise, which is the reason that they are often used during workouts
• BCAAs have many health benefits and a have been identified as a predictor of longevity
• They reduce muscle soreness
•. They're helpful for maintaining muscle mass while on a calorie-deficit diet
In a nutshell BCAAs reduce fatigue, reduce muscle soreness, accelerate recovery and improve fat usage for energy. Who wouldn't want that right?!
