Physical fitness and energy go hand in hand, but it’s a Catch-22. We know that the end result of exercising our muscles is greater energy. The trouble is we need the energy before working out just to complete—or even begin—a fitness program. A few key supplements are ready to aid you with this dilemma. Perhaps you’ll find, like many others already have discovered, that these supplements give just the boost you need to stay on the treadmill an extra ten minutes.
  1. Creatine—Enhances muscular strength and endurance by increasing energy to the muscles. Many who use creatine say they can workout longer when taking it.
  2. Whey Powder—Ideal source of protein, which is necessary for muscle development. In fact, you may actually feel a surge of energy after drinking it.
  3. L-Carnitine—Helps the body burn fat to energize muscles for effective, productive workouts.
  4. Royal Jelly—Supplies key nutrients for energy and mental alertness.
  5. Eleuthero Root—Professional athletes have been known to use this herb for gaining endurance.
  6. ATP—ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the major energy source within the cell to drive a number of biological processes such as muscle contraction and the synthesis of proteins.

Get More From Your Workout

  • For cardiovascular exercise to be effective you must work at a level that pushes you without being overly strenuous. To gauge if you’re at that level, try to talk to another person. If you can easily converse, you need to work harder. If you can talk, but it leaves you winded so you would rather not, you’re at the right level.
  • Don’t skip the warm-up and cool-down stretches. They properly prepare the muscles for more vigorous exercise and keep them from cramping up afterwards.
  • Make rest a part of your exercise program, too. Work out hard one day, then go easy the next; or exercise for several days and take two days off. It’s better for body balance and will increase your energy levels when you exercise the next day.
