I recently ordered the sample pack of the brand new Beachbody Performance Line to decide whether I wanted to order some, or all, of the products. Here's my review of the five supplements.
ENERGIZE - I normally use Progenex Force as my preworkout on days that I lift (which is most days as I'm doing Body Beast). I actually really like the Force, but it makes my face & hands tingle. Maybe too much caffeine? Energize did not have the tingly effect on me, but I still felt like it gave me that preworkout surge of energy to go hard. It was also a nice lemon flavor & contains all natural ingredients.
RECOVERY - Again, I used a Progenex product for post workout (their recovery). I love it but it it isn't all natural. I do try to go natural & organic as much as I can. Beachbody Recovery tastes just like chocolate milk! It wasn't chalky or clumpy like other protein shakes I've tried.
HYDRATE - I've never used anything but water during a workout but I thought the Hydrate might be useful during my killer leg day. I mixed the Hydrate with 8 oz of water. I normally drink a lot more than that during my workout so it went pretty fast. Of course I still drank a bunch of water after I finished with the Hydrate. It was citrus flavor & tastes like orange juice. I don't think I will use it everyday but it's definitely good for leg day when I'm dripping sweat & exhausted halfway through!
RECHARGE - I wasn't sure what to think about the nighttime protein drink. You drink this an hour before bed and it's supposed to ease soreness and aid in building muscle overnight. I saved it for leg day & was pleasantly surprised by it. It's vanilla, which normally I don't love, but I liked this one. It also mixed up a little thicker than most drinks. I woke up today not sore from leg day. I don't know if i will use it every night, but I might on lifting days since it has 20 grams of protein. At the very list I will continue to use it on leg day!
CREATINE - Ok I will admit that I did not try this sample. I didn't read that it should be mixed with the Recovery drink until I already finished my Recovery drink. Oops! But I'm not that into Creatine anyway, so I'm fine skipping it!
After reading/comparing the ingredients, talking it over with my husband (since we share the products) and crunching numbers (my discount plus buying a bundle pack of the products make it very affordable), I'm going to get the Energize, Recovery, Hydrate and Recharge bundle. I can't wait to see how these products improve my Body Beast results! I will let you know my thoughts after I've been using them for a month or so!
If you are interested in getting a sample pack of all 5 products to try for yourself, let me know!
