What to eat and drink before and after exercise.

I was looking for info on what to eat after exercise but there are some really great hints on how much water to drink during and after exercise. I have to admit that I like to work out on an empty stomach in the morning if it’s going to be a short period (for instance I did 20 minutes of intense cardio this morning. ) I’m going to have to invest in snacks.

Trying new exercise On Demand

I tried Amazing Tone with Moira Merrithew. I never thought about using weights with stretching but it was very effective. She recommends these little weight balls but I substituted it with 3 pound weights and yoga blocks. Some of them are a little difficult to maneuver. Also Rob Glick offers some great, quick back stretches and yoga moves that you might want to try.
