Langlade County Healthy Ways: Guide to Workout Nutrition

We’re more concerned than ever with maximizing our workout efforts and getting the fastest results. Effective workouts demand complete nutrition, and these simple guidelines will help make the right choices to refuel the body.
Cardio Pre-workout—eat a small snack to help boost blood sugar levels pre-workout, especially if your cardio work-out is before your first meal or between meals. Examples include: whole, mixed grain hot cereal with raisins and walnuts, skim milk, and honey. Scrambled egg whites in a whole grain pita with a sliced apple. Greek yogurt parfait with layers of banana, peaches, and granola. Fruit smoothie made with soy milk, ice, banana, strawberries, and honey or brown sugar.
Recovery should be thought of as a window of opportunity. Approximately 30 min. after cardio, the body needs to replenish its energy stores—muscle and liver glycogen. For strength training, the window is extended up to two hours post-workout.
Post-workout—Hydration is the main goal after a cardio workout. A significant amount of water is lost through perspiration. Pure water is the best source of hydration of the average exerciser. Sports drinks replenish lost electrolytes, but contain large amounts of sugar and calories. Coconut water is a great alternative to sports drinks, offering lots of potassium and magnesium, which restores your electrolytes. One of the best protein-carb combos is 8 oz. of chocolate milk.
