Post-Workout Nutrition Strategy from T8 Fitness

Whether you work up a sweat in the morning or evening, chances are you grab a little bite before you hit the gym. A snack before you work out helps give you energy and stamina to go the distance. But don’t forget that eating after your workout is even more important. T8 Fitness, home of ToeSox(the ultimate grip socks!) along with an extensive collection of Fitness products, Rehab Products as well as Yoga and Pilates Products and Machines, knows just how important a post-workout snack is. It helps to replenish depleted glycogen stores, shortening recovery time (aka maximizing your workout to its full potential).

Eating soon after your workout will help curb the hunger that’s sure to hit within the next couple of hours. A lot of people like to plan their workouts right before a meal so that they are getting their post-workout nutrition without adding extra calories to their diet. If you decide to go this route, just remember to include plenty of calories for your body weight and activity level. It’s very important to plan out what you will eat ahead of time, this way you don’t just grab junk food and ruin all the benefit from your workout!

Exhausted after a workout? Try eating some protein. Protein is almost more important after you exercise than it is before, because of it’s muscle-building and recovery power, not to mention, it can give you a little energy boost.

Hydration is key! Water saves your body from dehydration, and helps you maintain your body efficacy even after workout. Chugging a large quantity after an intense cardio session could make you nauseous, so sip slowly if you feel winded.

Post-Workout Snack Suggestions:

• Boiled eggs
• Tuna on Whole Wheat
• Plain Greek Yogurt with Fresh Berries
• Protein shake
• Turkey and Cheese with Apple Slices

Believe it or not, the key to any healthy lifestyle is getting the proper amount of each nutrient your body needs, and the harder you work out, the more it uses – it sounds obvious but it is commonly ignored. Do your research and find a meal plan that works for you. If you’re looking to start a fitness regime or for some variety in your workout then worry not! You will find everything you need under one roof at T8 Fitness.
