Began working out and feel...

[Guest guest]

HI Kristi!

 

two quick thoughts (and my long, intense workouts are in the 3-5 hour

range for tennis matches, which include more " down " time than aerobics:)

 

before hand, like an hour before:

 

large fruit meal, concentrating on bananas and dates...

 

*during* the workout, in my water bottle, I take homemade " Naturade "

(compliments of Dr. Doug Graham): which consists of the following:

 

1 banana

water to fill bottle

blended until liquid

 

if workout is going to be over an hour, I add some celery..also really

blended up.

 

(quick hint: make sure the top is screwed on tightly - it makes a bit

of sticky mess if ya spill it... been there...done that...! lol!)

 

my wife is a marathoner, and she's started taking it in her water

bottle on long runs, and she likes it also.

 

it works great, and the logic is just like the original Gatorade

research at the UofF, that we're replenishing the water with water,

and some of the sugar and electrolytes with the banana's sugar, and

the electrolytes from the celery. I've been doing this for ~6 months

now with really excellent results.

 

and I've also found that it makes a definite difference how much " fat "

(nuts/seeds/avos) I've had -- if not that many, I have higher energy.

 

 

 

all the best,
