Good Morning

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. In the spirit of getting the most out of your workout, I thought I would share some tips to help make sure you are getting the right food to fuel your workout. There are definitely benefits to eating before exercising but what you choose to eat and the timing are key. It is important to include fiber and protein in your meals as well as keeping the fat content low, they slow the absorption of food in your stomach, which will help you feel full for longer. In general, most active people prefer to wait two to four hours after eating a full meal before they head to the gym, but it is fine to grab a small snack before a workout.
Each person has a different tolerance with pre-exercise food so taking into account the intensity of your workout is important, you might not want to eat much five minutes before a hard workout, but you could eat something an hour before that workout. You can also train your body to become used to snacking before exercising. If you only have 5-10 minutes before you exercise, eat a piece of fruit such as an apple or banana.
