PRE & POST-WORKOUT FUEL – HOW IMPORTANT IS IT? 💪
Personally, you wouldn’t jump behind the wheel of a car with low fuel and expect it to take you on a long journey 🤷♂️ So why treat your body any differently?
I regularly tell my clients: Fuel to fuel your workout! If you’re low on carbs and energy, you might struggle to perform at your full potential in the gym.
Now, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.
This is actually a question I asked Lee Priest when I met him. Apparently, he trained fasted! 😅 But then again, he’s a freak 😂
It just goes to show that what works for one person might not work for another. It all comes down to the individual and their circumstances.
WHAT ABOUT POST-WORKOUT? 🍚🥤
Pretty much the same principle — you’ve put your muscles through a demanding session and used up energy, so now it’s time to refuel and support recovery.
For me, a quick and convenient option is a source of protein, such as whey, alongside some easily digested carbs. A good rice-based cereal can do the job nicely!
I Personally, I consider my pre- and post-workout meals two of the most important meals in my day.
But I’m always open to other opinions and approaches! 👇
The main thing is simple:
Train hard. Fuel well. Recover properly. 💪
