Post-Workout Recovery

Post-workout your goal is to grab a snack as fast as you can…for sure within 30 minutes after the workout! The snack should be mostly carbohydrate with some protein to help your muscles replenish what was burned off and start muscle repair. Low-fat chocolate milk, cereal with milk, yogurt with granola, and energy bars with a sports drink are all great choices to help you re-fuel!
