GET UP AND EAT

Never be short of time or too rushed for breakfast as breakfast is very important for your performance in the gym. Make time because skipping breakfast can affect your performance or thinking skills.

When you wake up in the morning , your liver glycogen stores are about half what they were when you went to bed because they have been used to maintain your metabolism while you slept. Glycogen is converted into gulocose , which is used to provide energy. Endurance exercises such as running and cycling require glycogen for fuel. If you are exercising with a half empty tank , your performance will lag earlier than if you had eaten.

If you have trouble finding time for breakfast , you can have some fast foods available such as yogurt , crackles , bagels , fresh or dried fruits , toast , instant breakfast and eneregy bars and gels.
