Workout: Friday = Cardio

Did 20mins of Cardio on my exercise bike first thing this morning, i was so buggered after it and i was feeling a bit sick in the gut - maybe because i had not eaten anything..?

I did not do any abs today :(

Apart from that i’m feeling good now, my arms are not sore from yesturdays workout - might have to try and go harder next time. I still have some DOMS in my legs from the last leg workout! i think those deadlifts did it - have not done them for ages.

I have also ordered some whey powder, so hopefully i will receive it on monday and can start adding it to my diet.

    yeah i dont think its a good thing if i am feeling sick after a workout, maybe i just went too hard… or maybe drunk too much water after my workout… meh.

    DOMS = Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. - It when you get sore muscles 24-48 hours after you work them out.

    Yep looking forward to getting my whey, i dont plan on taking a lot maybe just having it before or after a workout. At the most i think i would have 2 x 30g servings a day.

    wow thats a long adress..

    what to eat after a workout (as told by John Berardi, Ph.D.)
    Unlike before your workout, fast-digesting carbs are now more desirable than the slow-digesting type. That’s because an intense workout changes your body’s priorities: As sugar is absorbed into your blood-stream, it’s preferentially shuttled to your muscles–instead of being used as fuel–and is stored there for later use. The kicker is that this forces your body to accelerate the rate at which it burns fat for energy.

    How to eat: Combine high-quality protein with fast-digesting carbohydrates at two separate times:

    1. Immediately after you finish exercising. Ideally, this should be a liquid meal, which speeds the absorption of protein and carbohydrates into your bloodstream. Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch found that 6 grams (g) of essential amino acids and 35 g carbohydrates are an ideal combination for promoting muscle growth after exercise. That’s almost identical to 12 ounces of chocolate milk.

    2. Two hours later. This time, opt for solid food. That is, consider this the best time to eat spaghetti and meatballs–guilt-free. Even better, combine fast- and slow-digesting carbs with protein by choosing a lean meat and a green vegetable to go along with pasta, rice, or a potato. Once you’ve eaten this meal, follow the guidelines in Time Zone 2 for the rest of the day.

    have fun, haha, it barely made sense to me
