Parents are often interested in the question of how to teach a child to be assiduous and attentive. Some children already at two years old can play with their favorite toys for a long time, while others cannot wait until their mother makes a cake in the sandbox, and are already running to play in the toy car. To understand how to help a child learn to manage their own attention, you need to know and take into account the age characteristics of children. Often parents are faced with the problem of restlessness in a child in senior preschool and primary school age. In this article, we will look at how to cope with a similar problem in children of different ages. When a child is born, the first time he cannot fix his gaze on the object. Gradually, he develops an attachment to his mother, who takes care of him. It is on the mother's face that, as a rule, the baby's gaze is first focused. Growing up, the child learns to follow moving objects and people, take things in hand, and examines them for a long time. This is how the child's attention develops. He becomes interested in interacting with the world, especially when the opportunity arises to crawl and walk on his own. The child is already interested in balls, toys that can be pushed, rolled in front of him, to monitor the result of his actions with them (tumbler, musical toys). The peculiarity of children's attention is in its instability. It is very easy to distract a child, to switch to something else. The attention of the child is attracted by bright, sounding toys, as well as toys that give various tactile sensations. For a small child, this is a normal situation - to quickly switch from one activity to another, it is easy to start a new game. This is how children learn about the diversity of the world, get acquainted with objects, people, sensations. But the task of the parents is to gently and unobtrusively, in a playful way, form the child's perseverance, the ability to bring the started business or game to the end, to be attentive in their actions. After all, so often the first graders face the problem that yesterday they played carefree, but today they cannot concentrate and sit through a long lesson. It is in the power of every parent to help their child to form perseverance and attentiveness to school age, while not overloading the child and giving him the opportunity to enjoy the game. What is needed for this? First of all, the personal example of the parents is important. You need to be consistent in your words and deeds, to bring what you started to the end, to keep promises. After all, a parent for a child is the first and most important role model. It is very important to form and observe the daily routine, performing the same actions at a certain time. The child should feel that the main points of the regime are not subject to doubts and discussions (time to get up in the morning, nap, time to eat, play, walk, go to bed in the evening). It is necessary to develop a regime that will be convenient for parents and the baby, and will allow all family members to feel comfortable. Thus, the child will know in advance what awaits him during the day, and his energy will follow the right path, not wasted on unnecessary whims and arguments with parents. To teach a child to be assiduous, you need to talk to him a lot from early childhood. Children who perceive well the speech of an adult better understand the purpose of any action, and their attention is easier to direct. If you notice that it is difficult for a child to concentrate on the game even for a short time, you need to tell him before starting the game what you want to do. For example, feed the bear. Try to make the game attract the child, and with your participation develop the plot, come up with a story. Don't just feed the bear with a spoon, but go to the kitchen together, take some pasta, put it in a bowl. "Cook" food, let the child do everything that he already knows how. One action replaces another, without having time to bore the child. At the end of the game, ask your child to help remove the toys. Please provide any action with comments and explanations. Gradually, the child will learn to immerse himself in the game, it will become more difficult to distract him with foreign objects. There are a few more tips that are important in order to instill perseverance in your child. During the game, you need to turn off the music and the TV, and there should not be too many toys. For very young children, these are 2 - 3 toys, for older children a little more. The rest of the toys can be removed for a while, alternating and replacing them periodically. This makes it easier for the child to focus his attention and is less likely to be greatly distracted. Even a 4-5 year old child's attention is still highly dependent on what is interesting to him, easily switches from one to another. But, nevertheless, a child of this age can already, as a rule, play for a long time, including with other children, he is already captivated by the very plot of the game. The task of parents at this age is to ensure the possibility of such a game for the child, carefully choosing toys, while paying attention to what is interesting to the child himself. If it is very difficult for a preschooler or first grader to concentrate on one lesson, to bring the matter to the end, you need to help him form such an ability. Various mosaics and puzzles develop perseverance very well, as well as creativity with parents (embroidery and beading for girls, design and modeling for boys). For this purpose, coloring books, modeling from clay and plasticine are suitable - any activity that requires concentration on the process of activity. It is very important that the child likes the lesson, you also need to make sure that he does not get tired and does not lose interest. It is better to break a big business into many small stages, completing each of which, the child will see the result of his work, will receive joy and satisfaction from what he has done. After class, you need to teach your child to clean his workplace, this disciplines and helps to become more organized. If the child is restless at school, you should pay attention to whether he has developed a good relationship with the teacher, whether he is interested in the curriculum, whether it is too difficult for the child. Parents need to develop an interest in the child's learning process without focusing on grades. More often discuss with the child what happened in the classroom, talk to him about what they are going through now. Perhaps the inattention is caused by a misunderstanding of the material, and, accordingly, a lack of interest in this topic. For the development of perseverance and patience, any help around the house is also useful, the main thing is to praise and thank the child for help. It is important to reinforce and keep the child's desire to help an adult, to instill in him the ability to bring the matter to the end, gently correcting his mistakes, and by example to show the correct way of action. Board games, selected in accordance with the interests and age of the child, help to develop perseverance. Bright design and fascinating rules can attract the attention of any child, but the participation, help and tips of parents are also important in board games. This is necessary in order to help the child understand the process of the game, immerse himself in it, form the correct attitude to any new business that requires patience and attentiveness. Pay attention to the games "Kalakha Lux", "Tower", "Mikado". Most importantly, praise your children more often for their successes. If something does not work out for them the first time, remind the child that it is important to be patient, that sometimes you need to practice in order to build, for example, a high tower of blocks. Point out to the child his achievements, at any step forward, thus forming in him the desire and desire to play, act and study further. Be sure that your child is able to become assiduous and attentive, show him that you love him no matter what, and your confidence will certainly be passed on to the child.
Nutrition when exercising in the gym is fraught with a number of nuances. In most cases, such training is aimed at gaining muscle mass, and, accordingly, the decisive importance is not so much the correctly calculated daily calorie intake as the specific gravity of protein in the diet.
General rules
It's no secret that in order to stay at one weight, you need to balance the number of calories consumed and expended. The correct diet when visiting the gym, which involves building muscle mass, should "shift" this balance somewhat. Thus, the number of calories consumed should be 15% higher than the number of calories expended (it is obvious that this "difference" is covered exclusively by proteins).
The daily protein intake in the diet is 1.5-2 g per 1 kg of the athlete's body weight. If after a month or two after correcting the menu, no "shifts" in muscle growth are observed, then another 10% is added to the 15% "difference" (again, we are talking about exclusively protein products).
Now you need to discuss the issue of diet during training in the gym. The minimum number of meals per day is four. At the same time, the athlete must consume an equal amount of calories every day.
Power plan for beginners:
- Before going to the gym (no later than 1.5-2 hours) - proteins and complex carbohydrates (20 g / 50 g), it is recommended to limit the amount of fat. Approximate Menu: Poultry with a vegetable side dish, fish and baked potatoes, chicken breast, eggs or cottage cheese with whole grain bread.
- After training, it is recommended to replenish the amino acid deficiency by eating a protein omelet, or boiled chicken breast, cottage cheese, turkey meat or other lean meat. The meal should take place no later than half an hour after the end of the lesson. An obligatory item in the nutrition program is a protein shake. It is drunk early in the morning, on an empty stomach, and immediately after the end of the workout.
Drinking regimen is of no small importance for the effectiveness of training. So, with intense loads aimed at mass gain, the daily rate of fluid should be at least 3 liters per day. Water deficiency negatively affects metabolism, does not allow fat to be actively broken down, and affects the physical endurance of an athlete.
The best drinks:
- Cleansing or herbal teas;
- Green tea (with honey);
- Natural freshly squeezed juices (from fruits or vegetables).
- Purified water.
The correct diet for those who regularly go to the gym involves the last meal no later than two to three hours before bedtime. In addition, it is recommended to avoid stress, emotional overload - they disrupt the healthy process of absorbing calories and do not allow muscles to grow intensively.
Prohibited foods
- Bread and other flour products;
- Mayonnaise and other store sauces;
- All food products that contain sugar;
- Sweet carbonated drinks;
- Very strong and sweet tea (coffee).
Another important rule: strict diets and workouts in the gym are mutually exclusive.
To cope with the tasks, the body needs not only energy (source - carbohydrates), but also "building materials" - proteins. That is why athletes should not limit themselves in nutrition, but choose the right diet structure and schedule a daily meal schedule.
The times have long come when good looks are a prerequisite for success. To look good, to constantly maintain the tone of your body, you need to give it constant loads, include training in your daily / weekly schedule. Without proper nutrition, reasonable restrictions, and diets, exercise is unlikely to give the expected effect; it is impossible to squeeze out the maximum benefits for the figure, body health by physical activity alone. Therefore, it is worth talking in more detail about nutrition for girls working out in the gym.
Training goals can be completely different, and in this regard, nutrition during training for girls will be very different. The first thing girls who are interested in the gym should learn is that proper nutrition for girls during workouts is different from what men eat in pursuit of the same goals. It is foolish to think that the gym is suitable only for those who are trying to build muscle mass, breaking all conceivable and inconceivable records. This is not so, any girl, having competently engaged in the process, can achieve a toned body, appetizing, embossed forms. It is not only the correct distribution of the load that becomes fundamental here, but also the nutrition of the girl when exercising in the gym.
The first association with a person attending a gym is a mountain of muscles that are 2 or even 3 times the muscles of an average person in girth. Often people pull "pieces of iron" just for this, among them there are many women. Workouts for gaining muscle mass are characterized by high intensity, lasting 50-60 minutes. In order to avoid various injuries, classes should be started with a warm-up. Having developed all the joints, warming up the muscles, you can begin to perform the basic exercises. The exercises themselves are performed according to the pyramid principle, i.e. are performed in 2, 3, then 4 approaches, gradually increasing the weight of the projectile and at the same time reducing the number of repetitions.
Proper nutrition during training for girls is an essential condition for achieving results, targeting goals, maintaining the health of the body. It is surprising that even if you do not quite correctly perform the exercises, but follow all the nutritional recommendations, you will notice the result very quickly. But if all the exercises are performed correctly, regularly, intensively enough, even under the supervision of an experienced trainer, but at the same time the person neglects the diet, violates all possible principles of proper nutrition, it is unlikely that he will be able to move from the starting point. Therefore, it is worthwhile to firmly grasp the basic principles:
- Meals are frequent, about 5-7 times (even a slight feeling of hunger should not be experienced).
- Emphasis on protein foods: milk, cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, beef, chicken.
- Drinking a large amount of water daily, 3-4 liters (excluding juices, soups, etc., since this is food for the body).
- Inclusion in the diet of a large amount of slowly digestible carbohydrates: buckwheat, oatmeal, rice, pasta (durum wheat).
- Increasing the calorie content of the daily diet: approximately plus 500 kcal in comparison with the usual one (this is more than 2000 kcal).
- Avoiding alcohol, which prevents the muscles from recovering after exercise (during exercise, the muscles get microcracks, they take time to heal).
For those people who do not want to build up muscles, but want to have a trained, athletic body, to always be in good, vigorous health, infrequent workouts with a regimen of 1-2 times a week are suitable. This load is especially relevant among people with sedentary work. The duration of one workout varies within 40-60 minutes, each exercise is performed in three sets of 15-20 repetitions.
For people with low physical activity, a 20-30-minute cardio load on an exercise bike or treadmill will not be superfluous.
Another condition for maintaining good athletic form is the study of all muscle groups in one workout (as opposed to pumping the body, when different days are allocated to point work on individual muscle groups). For groups such as back, chest, legs, abs, two exercises are usually performed. For small muscle groups (lower leg, biceps, triceps), one exercise for each is sufficient. The most important thing is that the intensity of the exercises should not be to the point of exhaustion. This means that the load should be of such a weight that it would be possible to perform a few more repetitions after finishing the exercise.
It is difficult to imagine a healthy, toned body without proper nutrition. Therefore, you just need to understand how nutrition should look like when visiting the gym for girls who want to look attractive and always stay in shape:
- There should be more than 3 meals, ideally 4-5.
- Breakfast is required daily and cannot be skipped.
- Dinner should be light, preferably excluding meat dishes.
- Drinking one and a half to two liters of water daily is a prerequisite for maintaining health and maintaining beauty.
- After the last meal, several hours should pass before bedtime: more than 3 hours after dinner with light foods, more than 5-6 hours after a meat dinner.
After a while, working on your body, observing such a diet, you can feel that progress is no longer taking place. Therefore, even if you do not want to build muscle or lose weight, every few weeks you can increase the load by increasing the weight on the simulators. But if after that it became impossible to perform the same number of repetitions, it is better to return to the previous mode, increasing the load over time. This lifestyle will make the body more athletic and strong, improve health and endurance.
The most common reason for using strength training is to lose weight. However, it is not easy to lose those extra pounds, so you really have to "sweat a lot" to get the desired result. Losing weight requires combining strength training with cardio workouts.
Workouts should be carried out at least 3 times weekly (as many as possible), while meals for girls exercising in the gym should be low-calorie.
It should be especially emphasized that recommendations in the spirit of "flat stomach, elastic hips in 5 minutes" are completely unlikely. Because working on one muscle group, you will not be able to “lose weight”. If, moreover, you do not adhere to a diet, the process of losing weight is completely doubtful. Therefore, losing weight girls should immediately stock up on patience and endurance.
The duration of the workouts should be about an hour and a half, which includes a warm-up - a few minutes at the cardio equipment (for further intensive training to be safe for the joints, they need to be "warmed up" a little), about an hour is devoted to strength loads, the remaining half an hour (or at least 20 minutes) is allotted cardio training.
A properly designed training program will allow you to avoid weight gain, namely, it will help you lose weight, contrary to judgments that they go to the gym after a bodybuilder's body.
The main attention should be paid to large muscle groups, working on which the most energy is lost: chest, back, legs. Each exercise is performed in 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions, regardless of the fitness of the trainee. For beginners, a lighter weight is chosen. When it comes to nutrition, the following should be noted:
- The main rule of losing weight is eating fewer calories than consumed (by about 300-500 kcal).
- A complete ban on sweets (even 100 g of chocolate negates all the efforts of a full-fledged workout).
- The usual side dishes (potatoes, pasta) are replaced with vegetables.
- The way of cooking food must be changed, preferring steaming or boiling.
- The second half of the day allows only the consumption of protein foods (kefir, cottage cheese).
General dietary guidelines when exercising in the gym
In addition to the specific characteristics of nutrition, there are general recommendations for people with completely different goals. They are relevant for absolutely all people who adhere to the principles of a healthy diet, even if they do not go to the gym. Also, food before and after training for girls includes some aspects that should be considered. Nutritionists and trainers advise the following:
- Complete exclusion of fast food; fried, smoked, canned food; alcohol is also becoming a prohibited food.
- Large consumption of vegetables, fruits, herbs (especially fresh).
- The balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates will vary depending on the task, but mono diets should definitely be avoided.
- Frequent small meals.
It should be remembered that pre-workout meals for girls (that is, breakfast, lunch or dinner) should take place one and a half to two hours before the start of classes. This is necessary in order to have the elementary strength to work out intensively, otherwise you can simply lose consciousness while exercising. Do not be too zealous, because doing with a full stomach is also not the best solution. After training, it is recommended to refrain from food for 2 hours (during which the body is actively burning fats) if you are working on weight loss. Otherwise - when building muscle mass - it is better to ignore this rule.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the observance of the drinking regime, which is often neglected despite the need to maintain water balance. In addition to the fact that the body needs a sufficient amount of water all day, it is required during exercise (at least 1 liter of water). This will improve metabolism (allow to accelerate fat burning), replenish the moisture lost with sweat, increase endurance, reduce joint load, and prevent the head from getting “clouded”.
Sports nutrition is a natural nutritional supplement for people involved in sports, designed to provide them with the required supply of vitamins and microelements that cannot be obtained by consuming regular food. Most of the nutrients from supplements are better absorbed than from food, and there is no need to eat large amounts of food, therefore, calorie intake is reduced. Such additives are represented by proteins (protein), gainers (complex protein-carbohydrate mixtures), amino acids, etc. in the form of cocktails.
Sample daily menu
The goal of training predetermines the way a person is fed. Below is a sample where proper nutrition for girls involved in sports is depicted as a one day menu.
Those wishing to gain muscle mass should adhere to the following plan:
- When you wake up, drink a protein-carbohydrate shake.
- Breakfast: coffee, oatmeal boiled in milk, pieces of cheese.
- Second breakfast: boiled eggs (a couple of pieces), buckwheat with milk.
- You can dine with chicken fillets, rice, fresh vegetable salad.
- Afternoon snack: buckwheat with beef.
- A hearty, delicious dinner will be cottage cheese poured with jam.
- Drink a protein shake at night.
It is difficult to adhere to such a regime in the daily routine. Then sports nutrition helps out - delicious, nutritious cocktails. With strict adherence to the regime, active training in the first month, you can gain 1-4 kg. Having reached the desired mass, it is necessary to subtract excess calories from the diet, resuming the previous volumes of food. You can also reduce, to 1-2 weekly, the number of workouts.
For those wishing to lose weight, the daily diet may look something like this:
- Breakfast: unsweetened tea / coffee, oatmeal cooked in water are allowed.
- Snack on fresh fruit.
- Lunch: steamed fish, broccoli or fresh vegetables for a side dish, low-fat chicken broth.
- Snack: Eat unroasted turkey / chicken / beef with vegetables.
- Dinner: limit yourself to low-fat cottage cheese, you can use kefir.
The described correction of eating habits plus regular visits to the gym will allow you to lose 2-4 kg per month. Having reached the set goal, you can slightly ease the training regimen, sometimes give yourself a little relief in nutrition. However, it is highly undesirable to completely return to the previous way of life - together with this, the kilograms will return.
As you can see, proper nutrition during training for girls is not so difficult to observe, but it is absolutely necessary, regardless of the goals of the classes. Therefore, take care of your health and beauty, exercise and eat right!

Content
The recommended diet for weight loss during training for girls is based on a properly selected diet that allows the body to recover from sports activities. The diet should include the optimal amount of vitamins, nutrients and calories so that the person continues to lose weight without compromising emotional and physical health. Nutritionists say that if you choose the wrong menu, the lost pounds will quickly return.
How to eat right when playing sports for girls
For those who want to know how to eat right when exercising for weight loss, make the body beautiful and learn how to select foods, it is better to consult a specialist. He will not only tell you how to choose a balanced diet while losing weight and playing sports, but also help you make up your daily diet. You can choose dishes for fitness nutrition yourself, based on their calorie content.
There is no one-size-fits-all list of products that are suitable for all girls. Each person has an individual body structure that requires a special approach. To draw up an approximate dietary plan, nutritionists take into account the intensity of training, initial weight, age, and body type of a woman. If you do not take these parameters into account, then the desired result will be more difficult to achieve.
Exercise Diet
It is known that a balanced diet while exercising for weight loss helps to exercise without harm to the whole body and lose extra calories and kilograms. The menu should include foods that contain sufficient amounts of fat, carbohydrates, protein and fiber. Each of these components has a role to play in weight loss:
- Proteins, made up of amino acids, are the basis for muscle building. They should be evenly distributed between meals. Healthy foods that contain proteins - meat, eggs, fish, nuts, legumes.
- Fats. It is believed that fatty foods of plant and animal origin interfere with weight loss, but in small quantities they are necessary for the body. Without them, the heart and kidneys cannot fully function. Fat in the diet requires less than protein and carbohydrates. Safe sources of the substance are: lard, nuts, dairy products, avocado, butter, coconut and olive oil.
- Carbohydrates. The popularity of low-carb diets has led to the elimination of this element from the diet of those wishing to lose weight. However, you just need to replace fast carbohydrates with slow ones, which give the body strength and a feeling of fullness for a long time. The first group includes: sugar, buns, white bread, pasta, semolina. The second group includes: bran, rye flour bread, buckwheat, oatmeal, unprocessed rice.
- Fiber is a vegetable fiber found in all fruits and vegetables. Eating these foods helps a person to feel full faster and cleanse the stomach and intestines of accumulated toxins. It is advisable not to include fruits with a high content of glucose and starch - pears, bananas, grapes in the diet for weight loss during training for girls. Vegetables are well suited for adding to food - bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Beijing and other types of cabbage, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes.
Exercise Nutrition Scheme
It is very important to follow your diet and exercise regimen for weight loss. It is better to seek the help of a nutritionist to help you calculate the calorie content of meals in accordance with the planned physical activity. When independently drawing up a diet plan for losing weight when training for girls, you need to be guided by the rules:
- Divide the daily amount of food into 5-6 meals during the day.
- Eat 1.5-2 hours before physical training and 1 hour after.
- Avoid eating more than 1,500 calories on average.
Proper nutrition and exercise for weight loss
Sports and nutrition for weight loss should be interconnected, then the result will be achieved faster. The main goal is to reduce body fat, build muscle mass, and get a lean body. By following the basic guidelines for a healthy, low-calorie diet, any girl will be able to lose weight and get in good shape. Experts advise to continue adhering to these rules after losing weight, so that the kilograms do not return again.
Before training
Many girls believe that the less food you eat before training, the faster weight loss occurs. If you don't eat something before going to the gym, it will be difficult to perform the physical activity to the full. A pre-workout diet to burn fat is a must for weight loss. A girl who neglects this rule runs the risk of getting serious health problems, in addition to low efficiency from exercise, therefore, loads on an empty stomach are strictly prohibited.
Nutritionists advise to eat no later than 1.5-2 hours before the expected workout. It is better to give preference to carbohydrate and protein foods, which provide energy for exercise. The total calorie content of the dish should not exceed 300 kilocalories. Suitable for a meal:
- porridge made of any flakes - buckwheat, oatmeal, barley, corn;
- vegetable salad with chicken breast;
- bran with juice;
- rye bread with kefir or yogurt.
During training
If classes last no more than 1 hour, then nutrition during weight loss training is not required. However, it should be borne in mind that during this period a person sweats a lot. In order to restore the body's water-salt balance, it is recommended to drink more water. When exercise takes longer, special balanced meals such as carbohydrate shakes or energy bars are acceptable. These foods do not overload the stomach or interfere with exercise.
After workout
Before you start exercising, food serves to provide energy to the body. Post-workout meals for girls should include a minimum of carbohydrates, then the weight will decrease. It is recommended to eat more food consisting of plant proteins after exercise. If training is carried out before an afternoon snack or dinner, then in the evening it is better to drink a glass of kefir or drinking yogurt.
What to drink while exercising for weight loss
The amount of liquid drunk per day during intense sports training should be at least 2 liters per day. There is a special formula by which it is easy to determine what amount of fluid will be optimal during exercise - the weight of the losing weight, multiplied by 35 for men, and 31 for women. According to researchers in the field of healthy nutrition, only mineral still or pure filter water should be considered. It is allowed to drink between workouts:
- coffee;
- green tea;
- fermented milk drinks;
- hibiscus;
- natural juices.
When the drinking regime is not followed, problems with the digestive system may arise: dehydration, constipation, stomach discomfort. Drinking fluids during a diet followed by exercise helps fill the space that was meant for food. 1-2 glasses of water at room temperature 10 minutes before meals will give a feeling of satiety, will reduce the portion by half.

The basics of proper nutrition
Proper nutrition is necessary not only for losing weight or gaining mass, but also simply for improving the body.
Healthy eating principles:
Avoiding food waste;
Fractional frequent meals;
Sufficient amount of calories for the normal functioning of the body;
Eating a lot of vegetables and fruits;
Eating healthy fats
Eating enough slow carbohydrates
Vitamins.
Doctors recommend consuming more vegetables and fruits of local origin - the world is arranged in such a way that everything that is most useful for the body grows in its native area. Overseas products should be eaten sparingly, as delicacies, and not as the basis of food.
Proper nutrition and sports
Alone, these factors do not work enough; without an integrated approach, you may not reach the goal at all. Only by combining proper nutrition and sports can you achieve the desired results.
It is very important to know that healthy eating is not only about limiting sweet, starchy foods, semi-finished products. The main thing is the absence of a large and good ratio of proteins, fats, carbohydrates in the diet. There are apps for calculating the number of calories you eat by nutrient. The minimum number of calories for an average person is 1300 kcal, of which proteins - 100 g, fats - 60 g, carbohydrates - 300 g. When doing sports, their number increases to 1800.
A healthy diet and a gym can not only give a dream figure, but also preserve beauty and youth for a long time. Physical activity promotes the release of hormones that improve physical and mental health, but this is impossible without proper nutrition. If you want to lose weight, the number of calories decreases, while building muscle mass, it increases.
Features of nutrition during cardio training
Cardio is used to improve endurance and lose weight. Can be done on a separate day or after strength training.
There is a myth that morning cardio is more effective for burning fat, but experiments have not proven this. Striving for quick results can negatively affect your health. Fasting cardio is not recommended due to the high load on the heart and the burning of muscle mass along with fat. In order to avoid muscle loss in the morning, it is recommended to consume 2-3 egg whites or 6 BCA capsules.
If you're training for endurance, you need to consume fast carbohydrates before it. It could be a gainer, a banana or juice, or a shake of all three.
If your goal is to lose weight, you should drink some protein or a couple of proteins after exercise. This is due to the significant energy consumption and the need to restore it. Food intake - in an hour. If there is no need to lose weight, there are no restrictions on the use of carbohydrates after training (which does not mean uncontrolled eating of sweets).
Nutritional features for strength training
Strength training requires the mandatory intake of slow carbohydrates 2 hours before class. Protein is also essential for maintaining muscle, and protein intake is recommended before and after exercise. Fast carbs after exercise promote good muscle growth. Even for those who are losing weight, it is necessary to consume them immediately after training.
Nutrition when exercising in the gym should be complete and balanced. It depends on him whether the expected result will be achieved or not. If you neglect the post-workout food intake, you can get a deplorable result: due to a lack of nutrition, the body will split its own muscles. Muscles first, then fat.
Eating slow proteins before bed is important to maintain and restore muscle mass. It can be cottage cheese or casein. Cottage cheese should not be fat-free, you need a normal fat content of 5%.
Water for sports
Drinking water is very important when exercising. Dehydration is dangerous for your health, it threatens with a long quality workout.
The rate of water consumption is 1-2 liters per day. During training, about 1 liter of water evaporates and is released with sweat per hour.
