RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

If you're exercising and want to see fast results there are three BASIC supplements you should be taking: MULTI-VITAMIN, WHEY ISOLATE PROTEIN, and GLUTAMINE.

1) MULTI-VITAMIN because we don't get enough essential vitamins & minerals from our foods. All the processing it goes through before getting to the store, and when we cook our food it releases most of it's vitamins & minerals.

2) WHEY ISOLATE PROTEIN because it's the highest quality of protein and when we take it after exercise it will help build LEAN (NOT bulky) muscle tissue which helps us burn more calories all day long. Take it after you do cardio and/or weight training. Without it, your muscles will just recover/repair and NOT build any more.

3) GLUTAMINE because it's an amino acid (what protein is made of) that when we mix it with our after exercise protein will help reduce soreness. Reducing soreness = our muscles recover & rebuild faster = we can exercise more = faster results.
