Eat to Workout

Good morning Boca! The Suns up Gloves up! Are U Ready 2 Fight Nutrition? As the summer comes to an end most of us plan for new beginnings; "The time is now" and we start our exercise program. It does not matter if it's a 24 or 90 day challenge. Theses challenges are designed to kick-start, YOU! Fitness and Health is a life long journey with peaks and valleys. Maximize the peaks and minimize the valleys!  

Eating to train is all about timing. If we eat every three hours and the average training session is an hour. The Ideal scenario is to consume a full meal almost 2 hours before your workout and drink a Meal Replacement within 30 minutes of finishing your workout.  

When I was a kid we were told not to go swimming right after eating, we had to wait 15 minutes. Well, its kind of like that. If you eat to close to a training session it regurgitates. If it's been too long since your last feeding you will have a lethargic work out. If you do cardio in the morning there are many reasons why you don't want to eat before I understand but.....

Those are your choices and they aren't great ones. Eat two hours before your workout and drink a meal replacement immediately following your training session.

Happy Shredding!
