Staying active and spending time outside are always good ideas, especially during the school holidays, so why not do both at the same time? But for most parents, that’s easier said than done. With the demands of juggling work and keeping the kids entertained during the holiday period, the idea of a bushwalk or hike for leisure might make you feel wiped out even before you’ve put your walking shoes on. Thankfully, we’ve got a range of products to help you meet the demands of any outdoor or indoor activity! Here are some of our best tips and snacks to help you before, during and after your outdoor exercise.
Before you go…
While you’re preparing to hit the trail, you need to up your endurance. For the perfect boost, try AMPED™ NOx, which can prepare you for your trek. NOx consists of vegetable extracts from beets, red spinach and celery to help support the body’s nitric oxide production and healthy blood flow, which are critical when hiking at high altitudes.
While you’re on the trail…
One of the most important things to remember when you are doing any type of outdoor activity is to stay hydrated and AMPED Hydrate can help you with that. AMPED Hydrate comes in two delicious flavours and can replenish the nutrients you lose during physical activity. Pour it in your water bottle before heading out for the perfect sports drink to provide you with proper hydration.
To sustain energy and maintain endurance, throw some Harvest Thins™ and e+ in your backpack. Harvest Thins contain 11 grams of plant-based protein per serve and are the perfect snack to keep you feeling full until lunchtime. Combine that with a shot of e+, made with naturally sourced, plant-based caffeine and adapotgens, and you’ll be ready to conquer whatever lies ahead.
Once you’re back on flat land…
Muscle recovery is vital and AMPED Recover can support muscle recovery after spending hours hiking and climbing.
Now that you’re prepared, it’ the perfect time to get the family together and explore the great outdoors! Remember to take your favourite, on-the-go Isagenix products with you so you can tackle your outdoor activities with enough fuel and focus to endure, recover and enjoy.
