Fueling up Before you Workout!

What you eat and when you eat will have a huge impact on your overall health, energy levels and the effectiveness of your workouts. To get the most out of your training, you need to eat a good pre-workout snack about 60-90 minutes beforehand. Experts suggest it should include about 15-25 grams of carbohydrates and 6-15 grams of protein (especially if working out in the morning).

Most mornings I'm in a rush and just grab a protein shake before I head to the gym. Below I've included a couple of good pre-workout options.

• Isalean Protein Shake with Isagenix Greens & IsaCalcium (click on each product for more details)
• 1 cup cooked oatmeal, 8 oz low fat milk with 12 almonds & 1/2 a cup of berries
• 1/2 cup of granola with 6 oz of greek yogurt, 1 egg & 1/2 a grapefruit
• 1/2 a scoop of whey protein with 8 oz of skim milk and 1 cup of berries
