Are You Fueling Your Workout Right?

Did you know that if you throw up, become nauseous, or get sluggish during a workout you’ve lost that workout? To maximize the benefits of exercise, you need to prime your body for the workout and re-fuel when it’s over. As you’re adhering to these tips, remember to drink water before, during, and after workouts as well!

Best Pre-Workout Foods: Don’t overdo it. Eat something small that’s relatively high in carbs but low in fat. Ideas include a banana with yogurt, toasted whole grain or wheat bagel with a small serving of fruit or spread, or a small bowl of instant oatmeal.

Post-Workout: Peanut butter sandwich, walnuts or almonds, or a fruit smoothie with protein powder will do the trick to reload your body with protein and carbohydrates.
