*Post-Workout Nutrition : WHAT TO EAT AFTER a WORKOUT ?

 

 You put a lot of effort into your workouts, always looking to perform better and reach your goals.
Chances are you’ve given more thought to your pre-workout meal than your post-workout meal.
But consuming the right nutrients after you exercise is just as important as what you eat before.
Here is a detailed guide to optimal nutrition after workouts.
Eating meal After a Workout Is Important
To understand how the right foods can help you after exercise, it’s important to understand how your body is affected by physical activity.
When you’re working out, your muscles use up their glycogen stores for fuel. This results in your muscles being partially depleted of glycogen. Some of the proteins in your muscles also get broken down and damaged.
After your workout, your body tries to rebuild its glycogen stores and repair and regrow those muscle proteins.
Eating the right nutrients soon after you exercise can help your body get this done faster. It is particularly important to eat carbs and protein after your workout.
Doing this helps your body:
  • Decrease muscle protein breakdown.
  • Increase muscle protein synthesis (growth).
  • Restore glycogen stores.
Enhance recovery.
SUMMURY :Getting in the right nutrients after exercise can help you rebuild your muscle proteins and glycogen stores. It also helps stimulate growth of new muscle.

Advanced circular training at home

Advanced circular training at home: no less exercises, no more sweats I apologize for what day after this training you will not be able to get up from the bed and what will this training break you down. If you do it hard, that’s because you’re trying. This round training in your home, which will cover all the muscles, only work if you have had previous experience with the training. If not, be sure to first look at the circular training for beginners. For this training you only need time (about 20 minutes), one children’s ball for football or basketball and a stable piece of furniture. Warm up, slowly. Always, but always warm before training. Raise the working temperature of the body, let your heart slam, let the muscles and joints dilate. Heat should not be too much effort, there is no need to lose power right at the beginning, but you must feel that you have put the body (and mind) into a state when you can expose it to effort. Here is one possibility: Warming up Li...
