Fuel wrong, perform wrong. â
If youâre heading into training feeling sluggish, your pre-workout nutrition timing is probably off.
Here is the ultimate blueprint to lock in your energy:
Hydration First: Even a tiny drop in hydration causes an immediate drop in performance. Drink up.
3â4 Hours Before: Complex carbs (oats, rice). Gives your body time to digest and store energy.
1 Hour Before: Simple carbs (fruit, honey). Quick, easily accessible fuel for your muscles.
Pre-Workout: Skip the heavy fats and high protein. They take too long to digest and will only make you feel heavy and tired.
Post-Workout: Save the protein for after you train to kickstart your recovery.
Fuel smart. Train harder.
