Random Tip #1
Don’t gulp down a huge meal right before a workout.
So it’s about 9 pm, and the gym closes at 10:30. I still haven’t eaten and my mom has cooked some sausages and she wants to know if I’d rather eat before or after my workout. They smelled so good that I decided to eat them before.
Let’s just say pausing multiple times in the middle of sets to burp isn’t exactly beneficial to your lifts.
Trail Running:
Yeah, when I used to workout (or if i run these days) I will try to eat over an hour before doing anything. It just makes you feel a lot heavier and sluggish when you have just eaten. And it puts in my mind that all the calories that I am burning is from what I just ate, which seems like a waste to me.
