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.
