Stick with your goals

Featured Image

Starting a exercise routing or increasing activity makes you hungrier.  However, if you time your meals correctly you can prevent this and make it easier to stick to your healthy goals. Make sure that you have your intake matched around when you have your expenditure (exercise).
If you are a morning exerciser, do not make the mistake of having nothing before your workout.  If you have a sensitive stomach then keep it to liquids (juice, sports drink, coconut water) or carbohydrates such as a piece of fruit.  Especially if you have less than 1 hour before exercise.  Then make sure to consume a snack or breakfast with protein and carbohydrate within 10-30 minutes after exercise and a meal or snack within 2 hours.  Your larger meals should be breakfast and lunch.  Match your fuel intake with your expenditure.
Lunch time workout.  Have a balanced breakfast within 1 hour of waking and take your lunch split it in two.  Have 1/2 before the workout and 1/2 immediately after then consume your morning or afternoon snack, whichever you notice your internal hunger cues are asking for.
Evening or after work workout.  Have a balanced breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch and have a snack before.  If you are 1 hour before just carbohydrate, if 2 hours before carbohydrate and protein.  If you are not able to have dinner within 10-30 minutes after have a snack with carbohydrate and protein until you can have dinner.

I have been at Strongside for close to two months. I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend Nutriformance for everyone who is looking for a place to belong.

This is the best lifters gym I've ever been to. There is an almost overwhelming amount of equipment on the upper level.

I like the variety of exercises and intensities, but my favorite part is the technology that allows me to hold myself accountable for my effort and performance.

Great local gym. Lots of weights and machines, friendly staff, and not too crowded.

I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

I couldn’t recommend Alexis (massage therapist) enough. She is kind, professional and knowledgeable every time I see her. She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training. The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks. If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
