The Importance of Pre and Post Workout Nutrition

Eating a pre-workout and post-workout meal is very critical to reaching your desired fitness goals. Making sure to fuel your body prior to your intense workout with us at Shape Plus can assure you better workouts and better results!

For a pre-workout meal I suggest eating this approximately one hour before, fueling your body with carbohydrates to keep your energy levels up and reduce the feeling of being faint. Keep protein high with this meal and if you choose to have any fats incorporated, keep them to a minimum as they slow the absorption rate of other nutrients into the body.

Eating a post-workout meal within 1 hour after training will help replenish and begin the repairing process of the muscles. Having high protein with this meal is the most important factor. Protein shakes are optimal for this as they digest easy and can be absorbed even faster!
