Tip of the Week
We all lead busy lives, and try to make the most of our short period of time to train. With that said nutrition AFTER your workout often gets neglected. Training breaks down your muscles, your body then wants to reubuild. So the time after your workout is crucial!! For post-workout recovery a little planning can go a long way. Before you start your training session make sure you have something to eat immediately after, now this doesn't mean a greasy burger or breakfast sandwich. Two easy post-workout options include:
Chocolate Milk
Smoothie (add in some First Endurance Ultragen or whey protein powder for an added benefit)
Obvisously the smoothie takes a little more effort than the chocolate milk, but getting some nutrition within the first 30 minute window at the end of your workout is vital!! Within the next hour make sure you take in a balanced meal consisting of some quality carbohydrates, protein, and fat (not of the saturated variety!).
Mixing up a smoothie is super easy, some ideas for items to use include:
- Frozen Fruit
- Fresh Fruit
- Juice
- Coconut Water
- Ultragen
- Whey Protein
- Spinach
- Carrots
- Beets
And anything else you might want to throw in. Remember this time after your workout is important!! Take the few minutes ahead of time and you'll be happy you did.
