Effective Supplementation

"I definitely think that supplements are a vital part of my overall success in fitness," says Rachel. "I don't think you need them to get in shape, but I think they're so helpful." Rachel's supplement plan is simple: "I usually pick things that support my goals and leave it at that." Right now, her supplement regimen consists of a pre-workout, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), essential fatty acids (EFAs), and protein powder.

Says Flint: "Pre-workouts are important in my routine because I get up at 4 in the morning and the caffeine really helps me get going. I have had a lot of success using them, and I can really tell when I go without." Rachel uses CLA to help break down fat in her body. "I added it to my stack because it occurs naturally in your body and I thought it would be a nice, easy thing to help with fat loss."

For a beginner, Rachel suggests starting simple and choosing a pre-workout, a protein powder, and a multivitamin. "Start reading the intended purposes of other supplements and match them with your personal goals," is her advice.
