It’s back-to-school time for sports enthusiasts too!
Bye bye to pretty sandy beaches (or not) and aperitifs with friends overlooking the setting sun!
Today, we’re back in the office with our favorite boss (or not), and our new gym!
Yes, because there’s got to be some good news in this back-to-school period: you’ve made good resolutions and signed up for a gym membership! So to complete the picture of the good sportsman in you, we’re unveiling 3 pre-workout nutrition tips to help you get back to work on the right foot!
1 – The protein-rich snack
A Natiwé whey protein shaker 1 to 2 hours before your workout.
This snack will provide you with the energy support you need throughout your session to keep you going right to the end.
What’s more, the many nutrients present in Natiwé whey protein will continue to work well in your body after your session, helping your muscles to recover and grow better.
2 – Hydration
Drink enough water before your session. Between 500 ml and 1 L one hour before your session.
Hydration is crucial to maintaining your physical performance, regulating your body temperature and avoiding fatigue and cramps.
Don’t forget to hydrate (a few sips) during your session.
Water also puts oxygen into your bloodstream, helping you to keep going.
3 – Complex carbohydrates
As carbohydrates are the main source of energy for muscles during exercise, it’s important to consume enough before a workout. Opt for slow-release sources of complex carbohydrates such as oat flakes, sweet potatoes or fruit. With these foods, you’ll have a stable, sustained supply of energy throughout your session.
