Hello, I have done a lot of searching on the web and in forums and not finding anything to help me figure this out. I just turned 50, am 5'5" and 20 lbs overweight. I have done different exercise routines for the majority of my adult life, most of them weight bearing. I don't want to bodybuild, my goal is to tone and get stronger but not bulky. I do a 30 minute upper body routine Mon-Wed-Fri. I do some leg work on Tue-Thur-Sat but upper body is the focus. I am slowly losing weight by portion control at dinner time. Hubby cooks and we have eliminated pork and beef from our diet. Mostly Mediterranean style dinners. For breakfast and lunch I eat as minimal as I can, very low-carb.
So, you know my exercise routine, I do not wish to exercise any more than that, I do see progress with the upper body workout. You know how I eat Mon-Fri. On weekends, I splurge a little more. I eat a bit more carbs, and I have one Coke (usually Mexican, no HFCS). I would like to know if I CAN or SHOULD take a supplement to help build muscle. Just looking for a little boost - if there is something that can help me achieve my goals. Is there a pre-workout supp I can take? I was reading about creatine and read if you take that you should push yourself to the max which is not what I am doing. And I don't think I need caffeine because I drink coffee 2 hours before I workout.
If you recommend a supplement can you tell me which one, because I am overwhelmed trying to pick one. I don't know what ingredients I need.
In the evenings, I have hardly any energy or motivation at all. This could be because of my thyroid (I have hashimoto's) and this is why I exercise in the morning. If there is a supplement you recommend for a little boost at night, that would get my butt off the couch, please let me know also.
