After this session is over, do you usually have one that follows consecutively or do you take some time off?
This varies. Many people have stuck with me for over a year now...and some quit after 3 weeks. I try to change up the sessions, and introduce new equipment etc. to keep it fresh. I think if I was doing a boot camp, I would work toward reaching my specific goal, but all the time I would be "stealing" ideas on how I could do the workouts/eating on my own. For example I would buy a TRX and kettlebells, perfect the movements in class...and then probably later do routines on my own. The same with the eating too. Get as much information from me and implement it in your own life. Make it a life long habit. It will take some work and sacrifice for sure, but once it is ingrained it will be pretty easy to maintain a lean and athletic body.
Nutrition, Food, Supplements
What do you think about protein shakes? I sometimes have a whey based protein before or after workouts, especially when I'm pressed for time. As I understand it, conventionally, you should have a quick digesting source of protein immediately after workouts, as there is a very short window of time that it will be effective for recovery. Is this true? If it is, does it apply to everybody or is this just for extreme athletes?
I think that your approach is a smart and healthy one. Post nutrition is probably important, but as part of your overall daily attention to proper nutrition. So eating well after a workout is important, but probably not as critical as some protein powder companies would lead you to believe. My favorite protein powder for quality and taste is made by Sun Warrior. (Yes, I get a little bit of commission if you buy it...but I really use it, so I'd recommend it anyway.) My usual routine is to have a shake either before of after our morning session, and then later eat a real meal. Just works well for me.
