Gain More energy before you workout with these delicious meal plans which are easy to whip up.
Is crucial that you focus on your nutritional needs prior to your workout. If not charged appropriately before your exercising routine, there could be a breakdown of muscle tissue and it may even increase the risk of injury. This is more so if you are exercising in the morning because blood sugar levels are at their lowest around that time. A pre-workout meal should ideally consist of carbohydrates to top off your muscle energy stores (glycogen), combined with smaller amounts of protein to help protect muscle and reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. Foods consumed should be low in fat and fibre to help avoid common digestive problems such as cramping and nausea. Here are five pre-workout snack ideas that are easy and quick to make.
