Every athlete wants to improve their performance. Here are 4 ways to get started today!
#1 – Never go more than 3 to 4 hours without eating
You snooze and your metabolism and performance will pay the price. Start with a healthy breakfast and keep it going from there.
#2 – Hydrate (hydrate, then hydrate some more)
One of the leading causes of fatigue during exercise is lack of fluids. Keep ’em coming in all day from water, 100% fruit juice, low fat milk and the occasional sports drink. Fruits and veggies help keep you hydrated as well.
#3 – Recover
Replenish energy stores and repair tired muscles with a post workout combo of protein and carbs. Choose recovery foods and bevvies like chocolate milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter.
#4 – Get savvy
