    I use creatine before my hot yoga & pilates classes, it works wonders for me! As far as staying hydrated goes: I bring about 3 litres of Gatorade to each 1 hour class & go through about 1.5 litres per hour.
    ❤ I used to hate working out, now I LOVE that post workout whole body soreness. I literally workout every day now & because I'm incorporating low weight workouts into a routine with a lot of stretching & flexibility training: I've never encountered any workout induced injuries! (Also, my instructors are amazing & do a great job at monitoring our form)

    • @TeamOrdigamer
      @TeamOrdigamer 6 місяців тому

      It's possible your are confusing creatine with creatinine. If you don't take creatine supplements and if you have kidney problems, your doctor was likely referring to elevated creatinine, which is a substance that your body produces which is normally eliminated at the same rate by the kidney. Doctors look at the creatinine in your blood to see if your kidney is working properly (in which case the creatine levels would be in a normal range) or not, in which case your kidneys would filter/eliminate less of the creatinine and thus leave higher concentrations in the blood. I'm not sure what your exact situation is but don't hesitate asking your doctor next time!

      Possibly, but it is not necessary to build strength. Most people supplement to speed up gains.

      If you are young enough to need your parents permission, you don't need creatine.
      If you are a teenager, your body is already in a an anabolic state due to increased hormone production. You need just 3 things to build strength and muscle.
      1) A good consistent training routine.
      2) Good nutrition. Enough calories to grow and enough protein. I will also include enough water. Even slight dehydration has a negative effect on training. Muscles is mostly water.
      3) Recovery, meaning enough time away from training and enough good quality sleep.
      Easy enough to research training and nutrition. Supplements really have nothing to offer until you are seriously following 1, 2, 3. You are better off having a really solid baseline, before supplementing. The only supplement at your stage is a good protein. You can get it from food, but shakes following work outs do help. - Cheers

      I disagree, unless one has an underlying issue with kidneys. Sensible supplementation will not be a problem for most people.

      supplements.
