How to Fuel Your Body for Different Types of Workouts

Feeding the Machine: Powering Your Workouts

Hey there, Unbeaten Fitness family! Ready to get the most out of your workouts? It’s all about fuel. Just like a car, our bodies need fuel to run, especially when it’s time to get moving for a big workout.

What Should We Eat?

Did you ever think about what kind of fuel best powers different types of workouts? Read on, we’re going to break it down for you.

Fuel for Cardio

When you’re going for a run, biking, or thinking about tackling that stairmaster, you’ll need quick energy. Carbohydrates are your best buddy here. They are the body’s go-to source of fast energy, so load up on healthy carbs like whole grains, fruits, and veggies before cardio workouts.

Fuel for Strength Training

Pumping iron or working on resistance training? You’ll be looking for some protein to help those muscles grow and recover. Consider having a protein shake, or load up on lean meats or plant-based proteins an hour or two before your workout.

Fuel for Flexibility Workouts

Extending your stretch and improving your flexibility? Go for foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like fish, nuts and seeds. These nutrients help improve joint flexibility, so they’re great before yoga or stretching sessions.

Don’t Forget to Hydrate!

Hydration is crucial for all types of workouts. Make sure to have a glass of water before your workout and keep sipping during your workout routine too.

Power Your Body Right!

At the end of the day, everyone’s body reacts differently to different foods, so make sure to listen to yours. Find out what makes you feel powerful, energized, and ready to tackle your favourite workout.
