Eat Before Exercise
If you don’t eat before you work out, your blood sugar may get too low, causing you to feel weak or lightheaded. Aim to eat big meals 3-4 hours before exercise, small snacks 2-3 hours before. Eat too close to activity and you may get cramps or feel sluggish.
Time your workout fuel-ups this week. If you exercise in the morning, take time for breakfast. Similarly, if you haven’t eaten in hours be sure to have a small snack before.
