So in my last Blog you were given a quick and easy 5 minute fat blasting workout aimed at getting your heart rate up and helping you start to shape that body.
One of the most important things that you need to do after a workout is feed your muscles. It’s vitally important to their growth and to their recovery! The best thing for that is to drink a low calorie high protein smoothie. The protein in it is easily digestible and will give your muscles the nourishment they need.
So don’t skip this muscle building step. And because I am that kind of a gal, I have enclosed three yummy in your tummy recipes for quick high protein shakes. If you don’t feel like a million bucks after working out and drinking one of these smoothies, then we need to talk!
Seriously though, I cannot stress the importance of a great exercise regime combined with smart, clean, healthy eating. You will love the results and before long won’t even recognize that hot ripped body staring back at you!! What have you got to lose? (ok maybe a few pounds and inches, so get cracking!!!)
To Your Health!!!!
Love,
Tropical-Trip Sipper
