Fueling tips for your HIIT Workout
Hydrate
Make sure you are drinking enough water before, during, and after your workout! Being dehydrated will impact performance and can increase the risk for injury.
Fuel
Fuel with moderate-to-high carbohydrate foods three to four hours before your HIIT workout.
Recover
Recover with a high carbohydrate and moderate to high protein meal or snack within an hour of your HIIT workout. Your post-workout meal is vital to restoring energy and repairing muscle tissue!
Replenish
Post workout meal and snack ideas include: dried fruit, trail mix, and nuts, a smoothie with Greek yogurt and fruit in it, peanut butter with nut butter, whole-wheat/grain toast with nut butter, avocados, guacamole or hummus with chicken and pita, low sugar, whole-grain cereal with fruit and milk.
Schedule a consult for a personalized nutrition plan.
Nutrition and energy needs will vary depending on your individual needs, goals, and workout. To maximize your effort and performance, scheduling a consultation can ensure you are fueling for optimal performance.
