Plan your meals before working out
Eating too close to vigorous exercise is a recipe for discomfort.
This is the year to start thinking about your health and working out is a good path to travel on.
However, you cannot accomplish your fitness goals with exercise on it’s own. Now you have to think about eating healthier meals. The best way to start is choosing meals to eat before starting your workout.
It is recommended that you should eat at least two hours before working out because eating too close to vigorous exercise is a recipe for discomfort, and not eating is not going to end well. Here are some great foods to eat to give you that energy and stabilise your vitals such as blood sugar:
Bananas: They are very rich in fast-acting carbohydrates that will provide you with usable fuel for a workout, and the supply of potassium aids in maintaining muscle and nerve function.
Oats: They are packed with fiber, which facilitates a steady release of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, and therefore a steady energy supply throughout your workout, according to Villacorta.
Espresso shot: Caffeine has been shown to help regular drinkers enjoy a workout more by generating energy, as well as to slow fatigue and increase the rate of fat-burn.
