How is everyone’s weight training and running program going? Well I hope.
Gentlemen, do not cheat yourselves; this is your last big drive to your dreams so, work hard and reach high!
Do not look back 10 years from now and say I wish I gave it my all. Good luck, keep working hard with your nutrition and training.
Over all, I am pleased with your efforts on the ice.
Continue to work hard and it will come along.
Carbohydrates: Simple and Complex.
Simple are sugars.
Complexes are vegetables, rice, pasta and potatoes.
Fast burning carbohydrates are absorbed quickly and leave quickly in your body, usually within 1-2 hours.
You tend to crash on this type.
These items being white: bread, pasta, potato, rice, candy and energy drinks.
Slow burning carbohydrates stay in your body longer, usually lasting 3 to 4 hours. These items being brown: wheat bread, brown rice, wheat pasta, sweet potato.
Fast burners are good for you before physical activity and slow burners are better throughout the day. If you are trying to gain weight, stay with your white items and if you are trying to loose, stay with your brown items.
Good fats: Omega 3 & 6 and saturated fat found in fish and flaxseed oil.
If you do not like to eat fish try fish oil supplements.
Good luck Gentlemen, hit the weights and eat right….load up on the proteins!!!!
