Strawberry Smoothie Protein Shake
Protein is very important when doing any kind of training. When you workout harder and need more protein to repair and rebuild muscle tissues even the recovery time and results of the workouts. With my P90X workout combined with Insanity workout I need to make sure to get enough protein. Without an adequate amount of protein our muscles would’nt heal up as quickly and could therefore lead to overtraining your muscle which could lead to injury, which I do not want.
The best time to take in protein is after you workout so the protein can be delivered to your muscle and begin repairing them. Figuring out how much protein you need is another simple process, getting enough protein is a little harder. You basically need 1 gram of protein per pound of weight. If you weigh 180 pounds you’ll need 180 grams of protein.
So back to my Strawberry Protein shake. I am a Beachbody Coach so I recieve 25% off the entire Beachbody catalog. Even though I am a Coach I am not required to use their products, so I suggest you find the product that works best for you. For the whey protein I visit my local GNC store and purchase “Pro Perfomance AMP” vanilla flavor. With a serving size of 3 scoops it will give me 60 grams of protein in one serving. I only use two scoops and puts the protein intake at 40 grams.
Taking a high-quality multivitamin every day is simply the best way to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs. So I use the Beachbody Activit multivitamin and add them to my shake. These are purchased from Beachbody and cost about $25 for a months supply (60 pills). As a Beachbody Coach I only pay $18.
Of course for a Strawberry smoothie you are going to need…strawberrys. I purchase a bag of frozen strawberrys from my local walmart I beleive they cost around $7 for a large bag. The only other ingredient I use is 1% milk.
I am pretty lean so I add milk to give the shake a little more calories. You can substitute the milk with skim or even water if you prefer.
Strawberry Smoothie Protein Shake Recipe:
1 Cup of 1% Milk
2 Scoops Vanilla Protein
1 Cup of Frozen Strawberrys
2 Actvit Multivitamin Pills
1 Cup of ice
Blend until smooth.
Nutrients from this Recipe:

Getting Prepared For The Insanity Workout
Shaun T’s Insanity program has arrived to my door. Me and my wife (Samantha) will be starting the Insanity Monday July 20th. I have to say we are excited and a little scared. I have completed 2 rounds of P90X, however I have not had an intense workout in over a month. Samantha has completed Chalean Extreme and we are going to do our best the new Insanity workout. You can follow Samantha’s progress at her blog. Insanity is probably the hardest workout EVER put on dvd. This is not created for beginners, maybe not even for intermediates, wish us luck in our goal to complete the 60 days of Insanity.
I decided to purchase the “Deluxe” version of Insanity. The deluxe version comes with 3 additional workouts, which will be used in month two. Insanity is a 60 day cardio workout. Monday we will be doing the “Fit test”. This is a 25 minute workout where we will record how many of each specific exercise we do in a sixty second period. Every two weeks we will revisit the “fit test” and try to improve on our numbers.
Supplements:
Performance Formula- I will be taking Beachbody Performance tablets every day before my workouts, these will assist me in having the energy to complete these Insane workouts.
Whey Protein- In order to meet my reguired protein in a day I will be drinking a whey protein shake daily (maybe 2) Each shake has 52 grams of protein.
Results and Recovery Formula-Due to the extreme nature of each of these workouts, the Recovery Formula is a must, I may even have a little during my workouts to help me get through them.
Shakeology- In addition to the above items I will be drinking Beachbody’s Shakeology, it will aid in energy and vital nutrients and minerals my body will need during this routine.
I have upgraded my heart rate monitor, after each workout I will post the following:
This will help me determine how hard I worked out each day and the calories I’ve burned.
Be sure and bookmark this blog and revisit often to track my progress.

Get Your Copy Of Insanity Here.
I have ordered it and it’s on its’s way. I will be posting daily about the workouts. Another thing I’m going to do is I will be taking my picture everyday to see the progress, by the end of the 60 days I will load the pictures and play them back in a movie format to watch my transformation over the 60 days in a short video. This program is going to rival the Great P90X! I will see first hand. The difference is Insanity will be a cardio workout routine whereas P90X has a lot of resistance training. I am looking forward to the challenge of Insanity. Time to get some extra Recovery Formula, I’m gonna need it!
WISH ME LUCK!

Cheapest Place to Purchase P90X
Where is the cheapest place to purchase P90X?
There are only two places you should even consider purchasing P90X. To many people are buying P90X on ebay and getting pirated copies that do not come with the guides and are prone to skipping, not to mention coming with all the dvd’s. Do yourself a favor and purchase P90X from an official reseller also called a Beachbody Coach.
Beachbody is the parent company to P90X. So here are the best places to purchase P90X. One would be to get it directly from Beachbody at beachbody.com. Another would be to purchased from a P90X official reseller, known as a Team Beachbody Coach.

You will SAVE on shipping when you purchase through a Coach. While you pay a flat rate of $19.95 at Beachbody.com, through a Coach you will only need to pay roughly $7 and some change.
Probably the best thing about purchasing through a Beachbody Coach, is you get a support and motivation tools at Team Beachbody.com and your own Personal Coach to help you with any issues you may have while working out with P90X, such as what supplement to take, motivation and personal accountability.
