Best Personal Trainers in La Crosse, WI

We get results by recovering from our workouts, not from the workouts themselves. Our two primary forms of recovery are from rest (sleep) and refueling (food), but today we're talking about refueling. New research is showing the window to refuel from a big workout is different for men and women. Men have about 2-3 hours to recover from their workout in terms of post-workout nutrition. Women have 30 minutes maximum. The drastic difference between men and women is due to hormones. The big thing to understand, regardless of your gender, is that if you're not refueling after a workout, your body goes into a catabolic state (starts feeding on itself) and it starts to feed on your lean muscle tissue. We know what the research says, but it's just as easy for life to get in the way as soon as your workout is completed as well. So, whether you're male or female, we still suggest getting a quality post-workout food option in sooner than later simply because of that. The better and faster you recover, the better your results! PS our smoothies can also serve as a high-quality and FAST meal option for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Rather than stewing over fast food or convenience food, stop into Unity! Our smoothies are for members and for the public. You can always call your order ahead as well!
