Now don't worry they are natural supplements that can be found in food but i decided to give the pills a try. I am now taking BCAA (Brand Chain Amino Acids)** and Glutamine***. They aid in muscle recovery and in building muscle. After my favourite fitness model Jamie Eason said that they were supplements she uses i decided to give them a try. She is one smoking lady! She has tons of definition but not too much! Just the right amount. She is my goal! Maybe i will get there some day...but getting that defined is a lot of work. I already spend hours working out. Here's my workout schedule right now. Mon and Wed i do a full body plyometrics* type workout. Tue and Thur is running and abs (i am training for the hypothermic half marathon Feb 14th, mere weeks away) Friday is yoga. I usually take saturday off but lately i have been doing a spin class and then abs. Spinning is active recovery for my half marathon training. Sundays are my long runs. I am going to be switching it up soon though. I like to change it up every 4-6 weeks so i don't get bored...it's only been 4 weeks on this program and i am bored already. I think i need to get back to working out each body part once a week. I like to through a plyometrics workout in every so often though just to keep my body guessing. You always want to keep it guessing or you will plateau.
*Plyometrics- Basically using a lot of your own body weight and doing the exercises as fast as you can. So it's a lot of cardio at the same time.
**BCAA- Aids in repair, growth, and development of muscle tissue.
***Glutamine-Is important in keeping your muscles building--not deteriorating
