Answer To Your Fitness Questions" />How Recovery Time Actually Makes You Stronger
November 29, 2007
For a period of time of that rest, you will keep getting stronger, after that time period you will gradually lose that strength. The key is to workout AGAIN just as you peak.
Therein is the reason why it is important you don’t overwork! Over training means that you are working out TOO frequently and TOO intensely for your body to restore or rejuvenate and recover!!
Post Meal Workouts
November 28, 2007
So have you ever wanted to know what your post workout meal should be like? Next to breakfast this is your most important meal of the day. After you finish your workout, you have a window of opportunity of about 1-2 hours in which your body will absorb the nutrients up to 4 times better than at any other time of the day.
This is a wonderful benefit that you should look at! The reason being is that your blood sugar is low and needs to be replenished quickly and now is the time to get some of that sugar, the only time that you need the sugar. For this meal you should try to get 20-30 grams of sugar and about 60-100 grams of carbs total.
Also, 10-20 grams of protein according to your body size and intensity of workout! An example would be a bowl of cereal with skim or soy milk with a banana in it. It not only helps you to recover quicker but you will be less hungry the rest of the day!!
So GO For IT!!!
