Raab Organic Protein Powder

The 1980s have changed the leisure habits of Europeans forever. This was mainly due to two phenomena: the cable TV and the fitness craze. A constantly developing TV program captivated millions of viewers in front of the screen every night. While some watched Miami Vice or the latest crime movie with chips and beer in their hands, the others were sweating in the gym. At that time gyms just became popular. In previous decades primarily sport clubs were used for working out. It was either for medals or just for fun. In the 80s, Hollywood and widely read lifestyle magazines transported a new beauty ideal. Whoever tried to emulate the stars now needed not only plenty of hairspray, but also a well-toned body. Besides the classic bodybuilding that was preferred mainly by men, people primarily went to the gym for aerobics. This form of training experienced a real boom in the early 80s in the US. As the trigger, the aerobics videos of actress Jane Fonda are seen. She combined sequences of dance with gymnastic movements that were accompanied by rhythmic music. It was not long before the fitness wave swept over to Europe. Here, too, the aerobics classes quickly filled up. For training you wore either tracksuits made of nylon or leggings - both preferably in bright neon colors. Women with headbands wearing a bright spandex outfit during aerobic training are still regarded as “typical 80s”.

The fitness trend has not at all declined since the first aerobics videos. On the contrary, today as many people are active in sports as never before. However, the training methods have strictly changed since the times of perm and blow-dry hairstyle. At that time most of the fitness trainers felt that men should train with weights. Women, on the other hand, were advised against it. To get in shape they should rather use the ergometer or aerobics. Nowadays, many coaches are convinced that men and women do not need to train differently. Whoever wants to get rid of excess pounds permanently should simply build up some more muscles, instead. Through more muscle weight, the basal metabolic rate of the body increases. And because muscles need to be fed around the clock with power, they constantly burn body fat, even in your sleep. Not so long ago, the section with weights was almost exclusively used by amateur bodybuilders. To avoid a bull neck, many female visitors avoided the power ranges of the gyms. The myth that heavy weights transform women into unattractive musclebounds still lives on until today. Likewise, the claim still exists that you only get a beautiful body through many repetitions with light weights. Most women, thus, still work out with too light weights. If after weeks of intense training no visible results are achieved, many give up in despair.

Slowly a rethinking takes place. Sportswomen who can not be talked out of their training with proper weights, share their results on the internet today. The result speaks for itself. Barbells and pull-up bars not only strengthen the fitness as well as the body tension but turn out to be a real secret weapon on the way to a perfect beach body. Another benefit of strength training is the time saving. As long as the training takes place regularly, short but intense training sessions are completely sufficient. The following applies for men and women equally: as important as the training itself are recreation and nutrition. In order to look fit in the end, it is important to give the muscles time to regenerate, to get sufficient sleep and to look out for a conscious nutrition.

Due to a demanding training, the muscles are stimulated to grow. To maintain muscles or to continue to build up muscles, the body needs amino acids. These are macromolecules of proteins. Some of them, the body can produce on its own. However, the so-called essential amino acids only can be absorbed through nutrition. Athletes who specifically want to build up muscles, accordingly, eat additional protein-rich foods. Many athletes use additional protein powders. The classic of this dietary supplement is whey protein. However, for people who are lactose intolerant or vegan, whey is not an option. The vegetable protein powder by Raab are an exciting alternative. The pea protein by Raab is an excellent vegan source of protein with a protein content of 80%. It is very versatile. Next to shakes and smoothies also sauces can be refined with it. A real classic is also the hemp protein consisting of 100% hemp seed powder. Rice and pumpkin seed protein provide plenty of variety and give every green smoothie an extra energy boost. Additional protein, however, does not always need to be consumed in liquid form. In baked goods such as bread or cake, up to 25% of the quantity of flour can be replaced by Raab lupine protein. Raab protein powders are vegan, lactose-free and a good choice for those who want to increase their daily protein intake by a few grams. Only working out is still your job.
