What foods, supplements or techniques can you recommend to reduce muscle pain after extensive exercise?

I have a fitness assessment in three weeks that I want to be ready for and to do so I have been swimming or running multiple kms every day. Due to my sedentary nature {books not exercise} I’m in rather a lot of pain. Anything you can suggest to reduce the pain would be appreciated. I heard those protein supplements can do that but I wasn’t sure.
Thanks for the help.

hello It is important to recover with supplements after working out/cardio.

Particularly increasing your sugars for your body to replenish lost energy. I recommend that you take a recovery drink, (high simple sugar content) I usually knock back some dextrose powder in water. A protein shake is good too, especially a high energy protein bar.

amio acid tablets are good too.
They stimulate muscle protein synthesis, provides fuel for the muscle and helps to maintain blood glucose. leucine is great. Try some protein shake an hour before work out too!

after pain, if it is really bad could used some topical cream, like volterol or deep heat.

What dietary supplements are good for getting ripped and shredded?

I have cut carbs completely out of my diet and I do cardio. Are there any dietary supplements that can help me get ripped.

You should take BCAA those are branch amino acids that are vital for muscle growth and take l-arginine it boost up your matabolism therefore shredding fat. If you go to DaddySave.com under health and diet category choose supplements, they have some great deals.

What sports supplements are good for hardcore runners?

I’m a daily runner, but i still have a few pounds in the stomach area. I want to loose that and get a six pack. What supplements like protein and hydroxycut would work?

First off, there isn’t any conclusive evidence regarding hydroxycut, and protein itself doesn’t do anything to get rid of the weight. Looking at the ingredients, you’re just as well off saving your money and replacing the hydroxycut with green tea.

As for supplements that help a runner, you’ll get the best results by adding lean muscle, getting enough sleep, and following proper nutrition.

The protein can help with the lean muscle, but most average people get enough protein in their diet. If you do use protein supplements, opt for the most natural available type. Whey protein is good, eating additional lean meat is better (fish is the best, low calorie and any fat in it is the good kind). Adding push ups, sit ups, and pull ups 3-4 times a week is enough to boost your calorie burning abilities greatly. The protein might also help your running recovery, providing additional building materials for the leg muscles.

Tons of studies have linked irregular sleep patterns and inadequate sleep with weight gain. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, and getting roughly the same amount each night. Your body will recover better, meaning it will perform better during exercise, meaning better weight loss.

As for nutrition, weight loss is, in its most basic form, calories in versus calories out. In addition to this though, you’ve got to get enough vitamins, endurance exercise like running depletes them and can open us up to illness. A good quality multivitamin is sometimes necessary.

There’s no magic bullet supplement for weight loss. You’re on the right track, you just have to give it time. Summer is still a ways away, you’ve got plenty of time.

How do I know what brands of supplements have the potency correctly stated on the bottle?

I have heard of and seen programs where they test certain brands of vitamins and other supplements sold in drug stores. On these programs they ‘expose’ brands as not having in the ‘pill’ what the brands say they have.

For example, a glucosamine capsule which advertises 1500 units on the bottle may only have 1000. This is just an example. I do not remember the brands which were ‘bad’ nor the supplement.

So, my question is, how do I know I am paying for what I am getting? Today, I entered into a health store which sells a huge selection of vitamins and other pills. I wanted a specific supplement which might the pain I have in my rotator cuff. There were lots of these pills for joint health, and that is when I started to wonder if I am just buying a sugar pill or am I getting what it says on the bottle.

you never really know whats true and whats false when it comes to health….the best thing you can do is to research on your own. I recommend this website as I swear by it : www.newstarget.com
you can type in any word in the search engine there (i.e a vitamin) and usually it has a very detailed yet simple explanation for what you’re looking for.
also you might want to try ‘arnica’ gel for any aches, pains and bruises…its amazing.
