You know that feeling when you’ve just finished a tough workout and you’re sweaty, proud, and HUNGRY? We know it all too well, and we asked Christina Dominguez, RD, exactly what we should eat to refuel our bodies after kicking it on the climber.
After all, the nutrition you put into your body is just as important as what you do with your body, and we want to maximize every possible benefit!
Christina let us know that what we eat and drink after our workouts (whether you’re an Olympic athlete or just getting back into exercise) is essential for replenishing our glycogen stores, rehydrating our system, and repairing and strengthening our muscle tissues.
She outlines three important steps for post-workout meals:
Rehydrate!
Eat a meal or snack ASAP – there is an ideal window after working out to maximize the absorption of nutrients (men, within 60 minutes, women, within 30 minutes!)
Pair your protein with complex carbohydrates - the two most critical nutrients post-workout.
In our Simple30 Nutritional Program, we cover topics like pre- and post-workout nutrition (and so much more!) in much greater detail with the help of our wonderful expert consultants, and we work with individual participants to find the best nutritional plans for their goals.
