Protein Shake for Pre, Mid, and Post Workout: How Osmo is assisting my fitness goals

For the over 40 crowd, or more specifically, the hanging around 50 crowd. Hey, remember when we were young and people told us to hydrate more, but we would run like crazy and to a bunch of stuff and drink a little water or Gatorade? I know I’m not the only GenXer out there that didn’t take hydrating seriously. Well, guess what? We’re old now.

Long gone are the days where we can ignore hydrating. We should’ve hydrated all along. In fact, a study by Healthline states the more you age, the less water you have in your body. So, it’s important for aging folks to drink more water than in the past.

I turn 50 this year and I am on a quest to get healthier than ever. There have been a few hiccups along the way, but I’m still on the journey. I have added protein drinks to my diet and when I work out; I add Osmo hydration powder.

For the Osmo Power Fuel use, I mix up a drink about 30 to 45 minutes before I work out. I know some guys drink protein shakes right before or even during a workout. My body does not like that. I need to have some space between working out and drinking the shake. The Power Fuel is easier on your stomach that most protein mixes, but I still like to have that 30 minute space. The power fuel also comes with a caffeine kick to help me with the energy I need to get the most out of a workout.

After my workout, I like to mix up a drink with the Osmo Rapid Recovery Mix. The mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, and caffeine helps jump start my body’s post work out healing process. At my age, I need all the healing help I can get.

Trying to stay fit in midlife isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes determination, will power, a high pain tolerance, luck, and time. If one of those goes out of whack, getting to the gym or for a run is difficult. Our bodies need all the help available. Luckily, Osmo products are available at a great price. The hydration mix can assist us throughout our day and during our workout. The Power Fuel helps us with peak performance while working out. And the rapid recovery helps us to heal so we can do it all over the next day.

You don’t need to be middle-aged like me to enjoy the benefits of Osmo products. I wish I would have started many years ago with them. Regardless, better late than never.
