Hey, hi again. Hope everything is all right with you. This is Francisco Bajan from vitalcoaching.com, and I am going to cover today short series of tips on should you eat while you train? These are fitness and nutrition strategies and part of it is by own experience. Part of fitness what the heck been helping my clients with. And when you are believe in training, as simple that you go to the gym or you outdoor and you are joking for maybe an hour or you go to the gym that you do a series of training maybe for a couple of hours. So, you do something a bit longer, you go in nature, and into a jog or swimming. You know, depending on how long you are going train until your body is starts calling for energy.
In my experience, you know, within 30 minutes so training, you cannot already give your body the boost of energy. And my favorite when I go outdoor, you know for just a jogging or biking or swimming is up to 30 minutes I give myself a boost of energy in the form of dried fruit. For instance I take a little package with me of maybe a hundred grams of raisins and you dried fruit it can be agriculture, it can be fixed something like that. and after about of 30 minutes of jogging or training, I am going to take a hand full of maybe raisins and simply eat that.
And this is a very good way to go on, do not over do it, right? Do not eat too much but having a hand full of raisins is really something that is going to give your body a instant boost of energy. Why? Because it is full of fruit sugars, you know, healthy sugars. This is not white sugar. And it is going to give your body really a boost of energy when you are training. So, this is one of my favorites. If you can, also if you are for instance at home or in a complex where you are training in a gym and it is practical for you can also have a little piece of fruit, a one piece of banana or a piece of apple for instance.
This is something that works as well very good and another thing that I do as well it is I am going to if I go back in France, if I bike for an hour or longer, I will take something a liquid not with prepare smoothie. And in the smoothie it is either a fruit smoothie or it can be also a green smoothie. And I am simply to dilute it, make it very liquid so it is not going to be a solid as if I was drinking it at home here for as a meal. But I will simply dilute it. So, if you want to have some recipes on smoothies, you can check back my channel on vitalcoaching.com/stayfit.htm. Stay fit is just in one word and you have some extra recipe’s there some extra Hodges on how to prepare smoothies.
But you know whole point is to give your body a boost of energy, most of the time when you are simply not training, not exercising, not doing any physical really, I would say that within two or three hours after eating most of the times your body is already calling for the boost of energy. So, it is very important that you have frequent meal during the day, lots of breaks. And simply lots of very healthy snacks during the day. Now when you are training, you are of course using much more energy, you go much faster.
So, I would see that within 30 minutes of training most of the times your body is already calling for energy. So it is a good idea to give it a boost. If you really do not want to eat anything while you train you can also – I would say that you can go for an hour maybe training for an hour without really eating. But if you go do anything that is really longer than that, you should try some for example biking or tracking through nature this kind of things. I would say, give your body a boost and it would be really thankful for that. Another key idea of course is to drink right if you are training, if you are going for instance to a gym doing your aerobic session or power training I would say drink small quantity for probably 15 minutes. It is something that your body will really need because you are losing lots of water. You are sweating a lot when you are training and it is important that you give your body back the fluids that it needs. You can give while you train and it is important to drink a lot also after training.
Okay, these are some key ideas. Again, my favorites are having some dried fruit this works really well. Another one is a have a piece of fruit, and another one is have some very liquid smoothie in a bottle and take it with you when you go training. This works really well, and that is for this tip.
