Post Workout Nutrition

The post workout nutrition (the after a workout meal) is the most important meal of the day when you are training. It is the point of the day when your body needs the most immediate attention to rebuild it.

Post workout meal must contain 2 things, and avoid 1 thing. Simply put you should be eating protein and carbs. You don't eat fat.

There are only 3 questions you should be asking now:

How soon should I eat it?
How much protein and how many carbs should I eat?
What foods should the protein and carbs be coming from?

Eat as soon as you can. You want to get the proper meal into your body within 1 hour. Even better, within 30 minutes.

You already know egg whites, chicken and tuna fish are great sources of protein, but they aren't the ideal type of protein for post workout meals. Your ideal source of protein for this crucial moment is whey protein powder. Most likely a whey protein shake.

It is recommended to consume between 0.15-0.25 grams of protein per pound of your body weight.

Carbs will be used by your body to restore muscle glycogen. If your post workout meal doesn't contain carbs, your body may actually instead break down muscle tissue for this same purpose. A food like a baked potato is an okay choice for a carb source after a workout.

A better choice is dextrose. It has become the official choice for a post workout carb.

Your post wost work out nutrition is vital to making progress and getting the most out of your work outs. Stay away from fats and look to protien and carbs to rebuild your broken down muscles.

Working the Legs at Home:Squat Bench

Your legs are the largest muscles in your body. I see it all the time, people avoiding leg workouts.
Don't make that mistake. Bigger legs mean more strength, high vertical, less injuries, and a better body.

Your main leg muscles are the gluteus (buttocks), the quadriceps (front of the upper legs), the hamstrings (back of the upper legs), and the calves (back of the lower leg).

The best lifts for your legs are squats. The squat bench in the above photo will help you get a complete workout for your legs. Let me list some of the many benefits to doing squats.

-Squats build strength in your legs and add definition to your gluts (girls love that).

-You will enhance your ability to jump and give power as well as strength to your legs.

-Squatting improves your over all workouts by several percent and define your entire body more effectively.

-When the squats are preformed correctly they increase strength in the back as well as help strengthen the muscles around your joints, giving added protection and reducing pain.

Workout Benches

Workout Benches are a must have for anyone serious about working out and taking care of themselves. The weight bench gives you a platform where you can do a variety of great exercises. It also acts as a reminder for you to get of your chubby out of shape butt and get to work. When looking for a workout bench you want to consider a few important items.

How big is the work out space you have available?
What tip of weight training do you want to do?
How much money do you have available?

Do not over look these important questions when you are working on getting fit at home. I hate working out at the gym. They are crowded and full of germs.

Be sure to keep your home gym equipment clean and wipe it down with a towel and antibacterial spray after every use. This is not only healthy but it will keep your equipment in mint condition.
