Episode 68: Fueling Fitness
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Friday Jan 20, 2023
One of the most significant issues I see when it comes to diet and exercise is that people need to fuel their bodies in preparation for exercise - but they don't.
While doing a 30-45, or even 60-minute run or lifting session, there isn't a need to carbo load, pound protein, or take pre-workout. However, properly fueling will help with a productive workout and feeling like it is easier.
Learn what you can do to help you properly fuel your exercise and have a better workout.
