As you can imagine, starting a new workout means constant soreness. My cousin, the owner of CrossFit 951 in San Diego, said to me when I was complaining about soreness, "I'm perpetually sore."
While being sore is the best proof of a good workout, it can also make getting to the gym pretty difficult...not to mention just getting up in the morning.
So, I spent some time researching Glutamine and started taking it this week. What a difference it has made!
Here's some info on Glutamine:
Research suggests that after intensely working out, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%.Since the body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system, scientific studies suggest that glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism.
Glutamine is is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. When supplemented, it may help athletes reduce the amount of muscle breakdown that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
