Today I want to talk a bit about what you should be drinking and eating to help you get the most from your exercises.

Exercising means more than just doing exercises.
You have to make sure that you are providing your body with the nutrients it needs.
Without the proper nutrition your body will not make any progress.
So what should you be consuming?
Before you start your exercising your body must have the carbohydrates so that you ave plenty of energy for exercises.
This means eating plenty of things like fruit.
Make sure that you steer clear of things like sweets.
They will drain you of energy.
The amount of sugar in them may give you a quick burst of energy but this will diminish very quickly and you will not have the energy to carry on with your exercising.
When you are exercising you must make sure that you stay hydrated.
You need to drink more than just water however.
Your body needs electrolytes.
Electrolytes help your body to retain fluids.
The best way to take these is to have a non carbonated sports drink.
When you have finished your training you body is crying out for nutrients.
It is at this time that you need to supply your muscles.
The best thing to take after a workout is a protein drink.
Now I hear some of you saying:
"I do not want to put on loads of muscle."
You will NOT put on muscle by doing this.
All you are doing is repairing the muscle broken down during exercise.
To build muscle you need to take in a lot of protein throughout the day.
Within a few hours of exercising you do need a high quality, nutritious meal.
This means eating a meal that is high in carbohydrates and protein.
Doing this will help ensure that you are ready for your next round of exercise.
I hope you will follow this advice,
best wishes,
Stephen Hart
