POWER YOUR WORKOUT!!


POWER YOUR WORKOUT.

We have to admit that a proper workout regime works best when fueled the the right type of diet. An individual needs to bare in mind the essentials and ensure that they supply the body with the required nutrients so that the body tissues don't wear out.

Without further a do, I present you with the types of foods to power you workout and ensure you get the best out of every minute you spend in the gym or even at home. I will list some of foods to eat before any workout session.


PRE-WORKOUT FOODS.

i. Bananas.
This fruit is very rich in fast acting carbohydrate thus providing an individual with usable fuel for a workout, and the supply of potassium aids in maintaining muscle and nerve function.
Ripe Bananas

It is advisable to eat the banana then have breakfast within half an hour atleast.

ii. Oats.
Oats are packed with fiber,thus facilitating a steady release of carbohydrates into ones bloodstream, and therefore a steady energy supply throughout your workout.

iii. Fruit Smoothies.
These are an awesome pre-workout snack as they have high-quality protein and can be rapidly digested.

Healthy Fruit Smoothies
Fruit smoothies have a combination of both simple and complex carbohydrates thus making it a good pre-workout snack.

iv. Whole Grain Toasts.
Whole grains are packed with fiber, providing slow release,sustained energy throughout the workout duration.

Whole grains are packed with fiber, providing slow release,sustained energy throughout the workout duration.Topping it off with some jam will provide  you with fast acting simple carbohydrates.

I know you are probably wondering why all these.Well, i'll tell you. Running/working out on an empty stomach isn't advisable let alone being healthy. Your body needs the energy and fuel for it to do whatever tasks you require it to and same case applies to working out.

I'll sum this up with one of my best workout motivation quotes;
" JUNK FOOD YOU'VE CRAVED FOR AN HOUR,OR THE BODY YOU'VE                  CRAVED FOR A LIFETIME??YOUR DECISION"

EAT HEALTHY AND ENJOY YOUR WORKOUT :)

  1. Junk foods are so unhealthy. Id rather have that fit body than surround myself with junks. All in all i never knew that whole grains provide slow release and sustained energy.
    Before and after working out one needs to grab a snack. This helps to prevent starvation and also it helps to renew the energy lost during working out.

  5. i went jogging today and i will not lie to you guys it was terrible work up past 5 in the morning and 20 minutes down the line went back to bed.am not sure if it was the lack of not getting a pre-workout snack but the point is yes it not easy working out but don't comprise the body you have been dreaming about for just a two minute craving.

  6. As we have realized....most foods needed before working out are fruits and vegetables.....so take more of fruits and vegetables. If you cannot take fruits, you can take freshly prepared fruit juices.
