After
a cardiovascular workout wait a half hour, and then have a high quality
protein meal or snack like a LEAN Shake. If it's time for a meal, have
something like a spinach salad and some grilled chicken breast. Or if
it's breakfast have eggs or yogurt and fruit. The reason you want to
wait for a half hour after your exercise is to keep your body in the fat
burning mode connected to your exercise. If you wait more than an hour
you'll start to slow down your metabolism because your body goes into
starvation, fat-storage mode.After a weight-bearing workout you'll want a different approach… you'll want your calories to be absorbed rapidly. Why? Because after a resistance workout, you have about an hour to get nutrients in to help repair your damaged muscles. If you miss feeding your muscles during this hour, their ability to repair themselves and grow stronger will drop off dramatically.
After an intense workout, your stomach and digestive tract won't function as efficiently as it will later. It takes a lot of blood flow to do its job. If you've just exercised, a lot of your blood is still in your muscles. That's why the best post workout meal on weight-bearing-exercise days is a protein shake like LEAN and a starchy carbohydrate like a banana. The banana your easily-digested carb, and with the shake they are both absorbed quickly. Have your fast-release post workout meal within 15 to 30 minutes of your intense weight training session.
When you'll start adjusting your timing for these fitness meals, you'll feel your clothes starting to fit better within a few weeks. A healthy fitness lifestyle is the only true fountain of youth. Train hard and eat wisely and you can expect success.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Stock up on plenty of LEAN Shakes for your post exercise meals.
2. Prepare a shopping list so you always have the right kinds of meals available after your exercise, even when you need to work out at an unexpected time during the day.
