Nutrition plays a key role in your fitness journey. Eating the right foods before and after your workouts helps boost energy, improve performance, and support recovery.
Before a Workout
Your pre-workout meal should give you energy without feeling heavy. Focus on carbohydrates and a bit of protein about 30β60 minutes before exercise.
- Examples:
- Banana with peanut butter
- Greek yogurt with berries
- Whole-grain toast with avocado
After a Workout
Post-workout nutrition helps your muscles recover and grow. Include protein for repair and carbohydrates to replenish energy. Aim to eat within 30β60 minutes after training.
- Examples:
- Grilled chicken with quinoa and vegetables
- Protein smoothie with fruit
- Cottage cheese with fruit and nuts
Tips for Beginners:
- Stay hydrated before, during, and after exercise.
- Avoid heavy or greasy meals right before working out.
- Listen to your body β if you feel low on energy, adjust portions and timing.
By fueling your body properly, youβll feel stronger, recover faster, and get more out of every workout. Proper nutrition isnβt complicated β itβs about choosing the right foods at the right time.
