Right now Ken and I are on a pretty good workout schedule … we workout at our local club and we’re lucky enough to have a personal trainer included with our membership dues. Her name is Melanie and she is actually a personal friend (our kids go to school together and we live on the same street). Melanie has gotten so busy over the last few months that she has developed two classes a week: Tuesday we do abs and core and Friday we do arms and shoulders. Ken and I also workout with her on Wednesdays (legs) and on Thursdays (chest and triceps). I might be leaving something out but that’s the general idea. LOL
Today was our leg workout and it really kicks my ass. Well … I didn’t eat or drink anything before our 9:00 a.m. workout and that was a huge mistake! I was exhausted, light headed … just knew right away that I wasn’t going to get in a great workout. *sigh*
So … now I have to decide how to divide up my food intake and my workouts. I was thinking I could always have 1/2 of my Isagenix shake before my workout, have a full one when I get done, and then have the other 1/2 later in the day as my late lunch time meal and then my healthy dinner.
I’d love to hear how you manage your food and workout schedule. What time are your workouts? What (if anything) do you eat before your workout and how long before your workout do you eat? Are there any foods you avoid before your workout? How long after your workout do you eat and what do you eat? Any information about your food and workout would be really helpful so please leave your comments below. Thanks! *SmiLes*Suzanne
