Nutrition Tip

Foods: Post -Workout Fuel (taken from Gatorade Sports Science Institute)

We all know that athletes burn up muscle energy stores during a workout. Their bodies' muscles lose the energy that's been stored for exercise. It's important that athletes:

Get energy back into the muscles within 30 minutes and again within 2 hours to help rebuild muscle energy stores for the next workout.

Have snacks like a carbohydrate / protein energy bar, chocolate milk, yougurt mixed with nuts, or a turkey or peanut butter sandwich handy to refuel fast.

Hence the reason that after our 6 - 7 am weightroom workout, Coach Schwanke has you drink chocolate milk and eat a protein bar. Way to go Coach!!


Ever wonder what you and LT ( San Diego Chargers RB) have in common?

Ladders - That's right! All the ladder drill work that you have been doing these past weeks is also part of LT's workout. Even the pro's have to work on their footwork skills. So keep on ickkyying, hop-skotching, buzz sawing along and feel a part of LT working with you as you proceed through that lon...ggg, lenggg...thy thing lying on the gym floor. : )


Looking forward to tomorrow's workout : )
