Twin Lab Endurance Fuel

Lately I’ve been drinking another orange looking drink during my workouts and water fitness classes besides the Twin Lab Choline Cocktail — the Twin Lab Endurance Fuel.

It helps me to teach water fitness classes in the extreme heat with no shade and have super intense workouts, like sprinting.  It’s way better than the typical sports drinks, such as Gatorade and Powerade.  It has more of the things you really need to energize and recover, especially when you are seriously sweating a lot.

I use it also because I don’t want to burn muscle while doing intense workouts.  You see, at a certain point in time during intense workouts (usually between 40 - 50 minutes), your body no longer burns carbs or fat.  It turns to muscle as the energy source and this is not good because it sabatoges your metabolism and can cause weight gain.  This is the last thing I want to accomplish with my workouts because it’s going backwards.  Therefore, proper fueling is necessary with a reputable endurance drink and eating well with whole foods before and after workouts (this is critically important).  Make sure you eat a healthy meal within 30 - 45 minutes after your workout to recover with complex carbs and lean protein.

I don’t recommend this product for light workouts, such as walking in the park.  Water works just fine.  This is only for super, intense workouts or working out in the extreme heat.

The Twin Lab Endurance Fuel is a serious multi-stage formula that anticipates the body’s needs for pre, during and post-exercise nutrition.  It’s based on 3 stages to give your body maximum performance.

Stage 1 Defense Complex: Fusion of antioxidants combine to protect muscles during exercise.

Stage 2 Endurance Blend: Beta-alanine supports muscular endurance, power and output; a powerhouse carb blend releases energy faster (waxy maize, glucose), sustains it (maltodextrin), and acts as an energy reservoir to help you finish strong (isomaltulose); electrolyte blend aids proper hydration and helps you overcome heat stress.

Stage 3 Recovery Matrix: Time released whey and casein proteins, at a 4:1 carb-to-protein ratio, help prepare muscles for faster recovery even during activity.

Result: sustains optimal performance, enhances endurance and speeds recovery.*
