MORNING PRE-WORKOUT MEALS

Just as you will not get far if you try to drive with little or no fuel in your car, your body does not get you very far in your workout without nutritional fuel. Make sure to eat well before morning workout to optimize performance, athletic progress and weight control.

Without proper nutrition, especially before morning exercise, you may feel fatigue during training and post workout recovery will be impacted.

Snack ideas: 30-60 minutes before exercise early in the morning:

• A small handful of bananas and nuts like almonds
• Low-fat yogurt and a piece of fruit
• Oatmeal with skim milk and fruit
• A mixed nuts and dried fruits
• Smoothie made with fruit and milk or yogurt
• Granola bar
