Should you drink protein before or after a workout?
Workouts can put a lot of strain on your muscles and even possibly damage them as well. Protein helps repair and build your muscle, so because of that I like to drink protein shakes after a workout, they are a quick way for your body to absorb the protein. My favorite is Almond Coconut Milk (60 Calories) with a scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. Your muscles will thank you for it.

You can do crunches on a fitness ball or the floor and you can even alternate between the both, either way works great.
