What I mean by this is that he’s big into the “bodybuilder-like” split-routines (a la, biceps/triceps, legs/shoulders, etc..). Not that there’s anything wrong with that type of training but I personally can’t stand it.

Nonetheless, we had a very challenging arm workout.

Oh, I forgot to mention that he was 20 minutes for our workout so I decided to do one of my latest interval training workouts (HIT 27) from Month 14 of Fitter U Fitness. Wicked, kick-ass workout!

So, Sam shows up and I’m already drenched in sweat and not exactly in the mood to go through with our arms routine – but I did it anyway.

We finished up around 9pm and we’re then supposed to meet some friends for drinks. The last thing I wanted after that workout was a drink – at least not an alcoholic one.

Thankfully, I remembered to bring one of my favourite post-workout snacks – a banana!

As soon as I left the gym floor, and before I hit the showers, I got that banana into my body as fast as possible. This was after downing about 1.5 liters of water. I figured that’s how much sweat I lost during the workout.

Anyways, a lot of people ask me what they should be drinking or eating after their workouts. Have you ever wondered the same thing?

In fact, Sam didn’t have anything with him and didn’t end up drinking or eating anything for about 1 hour after the workout – not a great idea.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what to drink or eat after your workouts, then you’re going to want watch the video I put together which will give you everything you need to know for proper refueling after your training sessions.

And I highly recommend that you watch it because…

What you drink and eat after your workouts is probably one of the most important decisions you can make. Refuel with the wrong fluids and foods and you prolong your recovery and drain your body of further energy.

On the flipside, if you eat and drink the rights foods (which I’m about to show) then you can enjoy quicker recovery, less soreness, all the while feeling stronger and more energetic.

Sound good?

Alright, let’s get to the goods….

P.S. If you need more help with your post-workout (and overall) nutrition, I’ve got an entire chapter devoted to the subject in my ebook, Eating for Energy. Check it out here.
