Before and After Workout Eating

In the past year since my Wife and I began learning how to live our healthy lifestyle, we learned volumes about nutrition and how our bodies utilize the different compounds.

Now that we are working out regularly and I am hitting the weights more often we wanted to make sure that we were fueling our bodies to be able to work out. Yes, the goal is to burn calories that are stored as fat, but you need more to go on to get the fire going to get the fat burning.

So I did some checking and many people have the same opinion on eating prior and after a workout.

My Workout - Boot Camp

I try to attend a Boot Camp style workout at least once a week. I've found that its a good change of pace from the regular workouts I do and challenges many of my muscles in ways I could not imagine. 

The one's I've been attending have been done through my nutrition club but many gyms have been adding them to  their workout schedules. I've even seen trainers offer them as personal training classes. If you haven't tried one yet, I suggest you do. Especially when its performed outdoors. 

Most Boot Camp Workouts are a variety of body weight exercises, push ups, sit ups, squats, etc. or variations of the same combined with core building, jumping and running. Boot Camps can be done where everyone does the same exercise at the same time or broken into smaller groups and you rotate through different stations, or both.

Its a great way to challenge yourself and improve your cardiovascular health while building your muscle strength.
