Dreaming of a Beach Body--Creatine, Pyruvate

Beach Body Sweat Cardio 3-4 (copyright 2001)-45 min. of burning calories, yoga moves & I don't think I've ever done a body blow move (talk about feeling the jiggly fat shake). Great ab workout. Don't have supplements or diet guide but learned about some ingredients in some of their supplements. Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily the muscle. Our blood consists of 1% creatine. The amount in the men's beachbody Strength & Muscle Formula is equivalent to eating 2 lbs. of raw meat. Pyruvate- explanation is a molecule of glucose breaks down to 2 molecules of pyruvate and provides further energy. This ingredient is in the beachbody Energy & Endurance Formula. I read reviews that this product tastes nasty. One Canadian stated that he gets as much energy from coffee & molasses. A ballet dancer commented that the E&E Formula helped with his depression. I will keep going to the gym, walking outside, rotating/reviewing my workouts. As long as I'm keeping up with: 1 hr. working out, losing weight, gaining muscle, enhancing my mood & I have a whey protein powder for sore muscles, I won't worry about the supplements just yet.
