POST TRAINING NUTRITION

 

Whether you are training in the gym, at home, for MMA or Muay Thai, it is important that you have a post workout meal/shake so you do not compromise how hard you just worked.

 
Post workout nutrition should be consumed NO LONGER than 1 hour after exercise. If you delay longer than an hour after your workout then your body begins to take those muscles you just worked so hard to get and deplete them by using them as energy for the rest of the day or night.

 
I see so many people that do not follow the rule of eating no longer than 1 hour after working out. If you are not doing it now, then start today.

 
For me it is hard to get that meal in 30min or even an hour after because by time I shower, pack up, drive home and cook, the hour has passed. I need to get something in my body right away to hold me until I can cook, so having a smoothie immediately after training is PERFECT!!!!

 
Check out my post training smoothie after my gruelling Muay Thai sessions called the Angela Special Smoothie.

 
Jordan from Lanna Muay Thai Canada takes you through how to prepare this delicious, refreshing smoothie. I also suggest you invest in a blender, especially if you work out at home.
