5 Minute Super-Charger Workout

This is an amazing five-minute, high-energy, growth-hormone-building workout to throw into a busy day when you can't get to the gym. Be careful, though, Todd makes it look easy! Depending on your fitness level, you may need to ease into these.


On the second half of the video, he shares a post workout shake called "Chocolate Bliss" with organic superfoods. I make my own version that's SUPER-yummy!! A smoothie machine or standard blender will do. Throw in:

~1/2-1 cup coconut milk (lots of vitamins, potassium, chloride, plus lauric acid found in mothers' milk)
~1 cup almond, rice or soya milk
~2 tbs. raw cacao powder (Green & Black's organic is good)
~1 tbs. spirulina powder (one of the world's best superfoods!)
~banana (if you prefer your shake creamier)
~several raw dates, OR 1 tbs. raw sweetner, such as blackstrap molasses or agave syrup if diabetic (from local health shop)
~ice
~1 cup fresh water


Not only is this shake very nutritious and hydrating, you'll swear you're cheating!


Here's the workout link...remember, go easy your first day and ENJOY! :-)
