Genuine Health Giveaway – CLOSED

Hello there!

It has been a crazy week so far – it is the first week back to the regular grind and normal training schedule and I feel as if I have been playing catch up!

Now that I am back to my regular training schedule to prep for racing this year, it is more important than ever that my nutrition is working for me. I made this video with Genuine Health to show what supplements I use and when I use them.

A couple things. That smoothie? Make it. I just took one down and it is so, so delicious. Here is the recipe for you:

POWER SMOOTHIE

unnamed

– 1 cup frozen strawberries

– 1 banana

– 1 TBS of coconut oil

– 1 TBS of ground flaxseed

– 1 scoop of protein powder.

– 3 cups of spinach or kale

– 1 cup of almond milk

Blend and slam.

Also, what kind of person would I be if I wouldn’t share the wealth with you?! I’m giving away a package of ActivFuel for you to have pre- and during workouts.

I mentioned it a bit in the video, but here is a bit more information of what it does for you:

  1. Build & Prepare – with whey protein isolate and BCAAs
  2. Fuel – with carbs from organic agave, brown rice sweetener and organic beets
  3. Speed & Strength – with taurine and kola nut
  4. Rehydrate & Replenish – with electrolytes and coconut water
  5. Go the Distance – with creatine, rhodiola, vitamin B1, magnesium and Appleboost® Organic apple peel 

Breaking it down, this is what it does for you PRE-WORKOUT:

Increases energy – Branched Chain Amino Acids that support muscle synthesis and counter muscle fatigue are combined with carbohydrate sources such as sprouted brown rice syrup, agave & beet root to provide the body with slow burning carbs giving you energy to burn.

Improves endurance – All-natural caffeine from Kola nut, combined with taurine provide the body with both the mental and physical edge to go the distance.

I often will use the product during a workout as well. DURING YOUR WORKOUT:

Maintains optimal hydration – Vitally important electrolytes from coconut water + sodium and potassium ensure proper hydration throughout your whole workout.

Maintains stamina & endurance– Vitamins, minerals & phytonutrients have been chosen with the athlete in mind that work to nourish the body improving endurance, mental & physical stamina and help you push through your toughest workout.
