How Does Beachbody Performance Work?

It’s an all-in-one system that can be used together or easily customized depending on your fitness goals or needs.

There are 5 unique formulas, Energize, Hydrate, Recover, Recharge, and Creatine. Each serves a specific purpose, and when used as a system they work together to help get:

• More energy and endurance
• Better focus to push harder
• Less exercise-induced muscle soreness
• Faster recovery times

The Beachbody Performance system consists of five powder drinks formulated with key ingredients scientifically shown to be effective:
	Energize (pre-workout) with key ingredients to help you get more energy, focus, and motivation. The goal of this lemon-flavored pre-workout mix is to improve performance, increase focus,  and delay muscle fatigue. It does this with three key ingredients. Low dose caffeine from green tea. Research indicates caffeine works via the central nervous  system, delivering signals to your brain that energize you both mentally and physically.  The current thinking is that low dose caffeine is every bit as effective as high dose— without the jitters. Beta-alanine. This amino acid is a precursor to carnosine, a substance in your  muscles that reduces fatigue by shielding against acid build up. One side effect of beta-alanine  can be a slight tingling in the face or extremities—a feeling I’ve come to love because it tells me the stuff is working. This anti-inflammatory phytonutrient is believed to increase the production of  mitochondria, the “batteries” that make cells work. It’s also what gives Energize its disco-yellow color.
	Hydrate (during-workout) works better than just water or sugary sports drinks to boost hydration  during workouts, so you can last longer. This citrus-flavored supplement is intended to be used during workouts to keep you well, hydrated.  It also replenishes electrolytes. It does this by capitalizing on a fancy concept called osmosis. Long story short, liquids containing fewer particles (ex. sugar, for example) will pass through  a permeable membrane (ex. your stomach lining, for example) into a liquid with more  particles in an effort to create a particle equilibrium between the two areas. Many sports drinks contain a lot of sugar in an effort to both hydrate and fuel the body. The  problem with this is that they’re hypertonic—meaning they contain more particles than blood —so they don’t absorb well. The result is they slosh around in the stomach, and any  athlete who’s ever experienced “gastrointestinal discomfort” after chugging a bottled sports drink knows what I’m talking about. Hydrate contains fewer particles—meaning they’re hypotonic—so it is absorbed  by the bloodstream faster. The results is you hydrate more effectively and maintain a better electrolyte balance. This is especially important to athletes, considering that even slight dehydration can have a huge impact on performance.
	Recover (post-workout) with ingredients to help jump-start muscle recovery and combat exercise- induced muscle soreness. While carbs can play an important role in exercise recovery, the current thinking  pinpoints protein—about 20 grams of high-quality protein—should really be the focus.  Right after you work out, your muscles go into serious rebuilding mode. By consuming protein within 30 minutes of working out, you give your body the building blocks it needs  to do this effectively. Recover is chocolaty post-workout drink does this with a propriety blend of fast-absorbing  whey protein, medium-absorbing pea protein, and slow-absorbing casein protein to assure you  have protein on hand for the entire process. Within the blend you’ll also find an optimal combination  of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), amino acids that are especially useful for building muscle. It also contains pomegranate extract, which contains ellagitannins, powerful anti-inflammatory polyphenols shown to be highly effective for recovery from exercise.
	Recharge (nighttime) with ingredients to help accelerate overnight recovery and fight exercise- induced muscle soreness while you sleep, so you wake up ready to work out. Sleep is when all of your body’s natural recovery processes ramps up. To take full advantage,  this pre-bedtime, vanilla supplement contains micellar casein protein.  (Micellar means it’s especially pure.) Casein is especially useful during sleep because it's  slow absorbing nature means it will keep muscle synthesis going strong during most of  the process. One recent study showed casein before bed increased amino acid activity  for seven and a half hours.  Recharge also contains BCAAs as well as tart cherry extract, a natural anti-inflammatory  substance packed with phytonutrients known as anthocyanins that have also been shown to mitigate  exercise-induced muscle damage. Tart cherry also contains melatonin, a hormone that can improve sleep quality. The reason for the various anti-inflammatories in the line is to attack inflammation as many ways as possible. “As an athlete, where inflammation is exercise-induced, what can the effect of nutrition do?” Dr. Alamdari pondered. “We are really trying to tackle whole body  exercise-induced inflammation, taking multiple pathways.”
	Creatine helps you max out your strength and power, so you can push harder in every workout— that means better results. Rounding out the Beachbody Performance Line is a proven, safe creatine supplement. When you  push your workout so hard that your muscles run out of oxygen, your body relies on phosphocreatine  to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the substance your body uses for energy. Supplementing  creatine means you get a little more ATP, which means you can hammer out another rep or two. There are several forms of creatine and every so often “the next big thing” comes out, but it  never lives up to the hype. Beachbody Performance is creatine monohydrate, the most  proven form around. It’s also sourced from Germany, a country known for the purity of its creatine. If you’re supplement savvy, you know why it’s important to use “safe” as an adjective when discussing creatine, a substance steeped in misinformation. To counter stigma like this—and to give a clear,  direct message that the entire Beachbody Performance Line is safe and legal, we’ve taken  the extra step to have them NSF Certified for Sport, a program recognized by organizations  ranging from the NFL to the PGA. ” There has been news recently on banned substances  found in some sports supplements,” explained Michael Wilson, Beachbody’s Executive  Vice President of R&D (and fellow cyclist), “We certified our Beachbody Product Line to give our  customers the added assurance, whether they’re weekend warriors or professional athletes, that the  advantage we’re giving them is safe and complies with the highest level of requirements in  professional and amateur sports.”
Best of all, Beachbody Performance works whether you’re an extreme athlete, a regular exerciser,  or just committing to your fitness journey. Ready to take your results to the next level?
