The
Four-Hour Window of Opportunity
|
|||||||||||||||
|
There is a very important aspect of recovery after a workout that is often overlooked but can give you the results you're looking for. It is known as the Four-Hour Window of Opportunity. When you exercise, your body burns carbohydrates for energy and breaks down your muscle tissue (especially if you are weight training). Immediately after a workout, the body has an enhanced ability to utilize nutrients such as glucose (sugar) and protein (your body's main building blocks) in order to rebuild and recover from your exercise. Taking in nutrients immediately after exercise helps you to recover faster and feel better after a workout. |
