The Importance of Post Workout Meals with Zane Bokmeldere

Food and exercise must be combined for optimal results.
Personal Trainer Zane Bokmeldere outlines the benefits of choosing the right foods to support your health and fitness targets...

I have noticed that with many of my clients and acquaintances there is a reluctance to see the benefit of eating soon after exercise. Most comments are something like "What is the point spending and hour to burn calories just to put them back on again right after?"
 
Delicious and nutritious!
My response would be the use of a metaphor. Imagine having a maxed out £1000 credit card where your normal eating represents just the interest repayment. If you never put back more than the interest you will never pay off the principle of the credit card and always be at least £1000 in debt. By not eating enough after exertion, you are essentially trying to buy things on a maxed out card! You will end up in greater debt and bigger problems then when you started. When training your muscles vigorously they become depleted of nutrients and in fact are broken down. The only way to repair the micro tears that training causes is for fresh nutrients to replenish what was used. The right way to put it back is with a nutritionally balanced post workout meal designed for muscle recovery like the lovely pancakes pictured.

In the long term, if you don't eat in a supportive manner, your immune system will weaken and your fat loss goals will slow down or even come to a complete halt. Physical bankruptcy! Remember a simple rule, the more muscle you have the faster your metabolism. The faster your metabolism, the more calories burnt whilst at rest. To achieve this you must eat properly. Do not starve your muscles if you strive to gain a lean and toned physique.

Charity Golf Comes to South Cerney 21st March!

Justin Rose has donated to the cause...
Sponsors and partakers are sought for a charity golf day on 21st March for Have a Heart Appeal...

Paul Sparrowhawk is looking to make money for a noble group of children's charities by mixing good deeds with golf. 40 teams are needed to take part in a wonderful day that will benefit everyone involved!

Local businesses are needed to sponsor each hole on the course and sponsors will be advertised on the tee box on the day. Media coverage before and after should highlight the good will!
Teams of four are then needed to actually participate. Each team entered pays up £100 with food included and prizes to be won through the day.

So far 34 teams have entered and hole sponsors include Jaguar and local European ladies tour golfer Charlotte Ellis has a team entered. So far 34 teams have entered and these lucky people stand a chance of winning a multitude of prizes including a signed Taylormade SLDR donated by Justin Rose.

Have A Heart Appeal will split the proceeds between three children's charities, 'Make a Wish Foundation', 'Starlight UK' and 'Ray of Sunshine' that help seriously ill children's wishes come true.
