Pre-Workout Fuel

  • Make sure you eat a combination of protein and carbohydrate before a workout.
  • Carbohydrates are considered fuel for your body and are what keep you energized throughout your training.
  • The more you train, the more carbohydrates you need!
  • Protein primes your muscles to help you perform at your best.
  • Sometimes eating right before a workout can cause stomach or GI discomfort in training. Try 30-60 minutes before.
  • Ideally, you should fuel your body about 1-4 hours pre-workout,depending on how your body tolerates food.
  • Make sure you experiment during practice to figure out what best works for you.
  • Never explore during game day.
