Every time I ate immediately after a workout, there was some more acidity involved in the digestion (for what I felt, of course). Today I tried to postpone eating with at least half an hour. And it worked :-) Thanks for the advice. That’s very interesting, thanks for the advice.

Studies have shown that 30 minutes to an hour after working out is the best time to eat carbs. That is when the (whatever it was, I forget) in the body is most active and will most quickly rebuild muscles. Eat a lean meat sandwich on whole wheat bread and some raw veggies - and remember to rehydrate. Me, I am not hungry after exercise so it is the best time to eat (I don't usually snack except for carrots). .-= McLaughlin´s last blog ..<a href="http://richardmclaughlin.biz/using-linkedin-to-drive-traffic-to-your-blog/" rel="nofollow">Using LinkedIn to Drive Traffic to Your Blog</a> =-. 8 years in the Marine Corps taught me that it is common NOT to want to eat after exercise, because you may not feel hungry and you have already filled yourself with water after rehydrating.

Today I had more water than usual, but also tried some different approach, more in tomorrow's post. I'm really glad I motivated you, that's the spirit :-) Hope your toe is better now, if you can do yoga soon enough it will be ok again.

Fruit and yogurt are what I eat. Your stretches before and after should be at least for 10 - 15 minutes. 20 - 30 minutes on a stepper is great.The good thing about this machine is the weight adjustment, stick to what is comfortable then increase it slightly in a couple of days. I have a treadmill no weight involved of course only speed. You got me pumped up yesterday and I going to try running today.That is if my toe can handle shoes. I have been in slippers and flip flops for the past weeks. I think I will give it a try I have been doing yoga with no problems. .-= BunnygotBlog´s last blog ..<a href="http://bunnygotblog.com/taking-care-of-business/working-from-home-coffee-tea-or-me" rel="nofollow">Working From Home: Coffee – Tea – Or Me</a> =-.

Nice to see that have a good start. #1 Try to make each exercise session last ~30min , not including warm up ,and cool down time. It si way more effective. Also, unless you really need it try not to take to may breakers. If you seem to need more, make the exercises a bit easier. Also, do not make the breakers longer then 1-2 minutes unless you actually need to do something else. This is very important for any cardio exercise but it is also very helpful to stick by this pattern for the other exercises too. This usually means that you may have to start on a lower intensity level. #2 Try to eat something ~1,5-2h before the workout. By something I mean ~250-400kcal, not a full meal :D. It makes a big difference especially before any cardio exercise. #3 Hydrate as much as possible and rehidrate after every workout. For rehydrating I recommend to measure your total body mass just before and after the workout, and to drink at least the lost mass in water after the workout. OF course, if you like you may hydrate during the workout as well. I advise you to take a short break or at least to slow down for that as I personally chocked almost every time I tried to run&drink at the same time :D Try not to distract your mind during the workouts. Concentrate on your muscles, not on the TV during the cardio. Do not forget that yoru mind needs the workout as well. You will see that most of the things that I share with you here are presented in better detail in the “Burn the fat feed the muscle” by Tom Venuto . I know that you will enjoy the ebook. That does of course not mean that i will stop commenting on your posts :D Enjoy the change Dragos. -Bogdan- Hello Dragos.
