I hope this email finds you well and that your fitness journey is going smoothly. Today, I wanted to share some valuable insights on what to eat before your workouts to optimize your performance and enhance your results.
Pre-exercise nutrition plays a crucial role in supplying your body with the energy it needs for an effective workout. Here are some key guidelines to follow:
🕛 Timing: Aim to eat a balanced meal or snack containing carbohydrates and protein about 1-3 hours before your workout. This timeframe allows for digestion and absorption, providing your muscles with a steady stream of fuel.
🍓Carbohydrates: Prioritize complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. These provide sustained energy release and help maintain blood sugar levels during your workout.
🥣Protein: Include a moderate amount of lean protein such as chicken, fish, tofu, or Greek yogurt. Protein aids in muscle repair and growth, enhancing your exercise adaptations.
💧Hydration: Don't forget to hydrate adequately before exercising. Water is essential for optimal performance, so drink enough fluids throughout the day and consider consuming an additional 8-16 ounces 1-2 hours before your workout.
🚨Personalization: Listen to your body and experiment with different food choices to determine what works best for you. Everyone's digestive system is unique, so find the pre-workout meal or snack that provides you with energy without causing discomfort.
Remember, consistency is key when it comes to achieving your fitness goals. Proper pre-exercise nutrition is just one piece of the puzzle, but it can significantly impact your workout performance and overall progress.
Stay committed, stay motivated, and fuel your workouts for success!

Eating breakfast before a pre-workout session is a good idea, as it provides fuel and nutrients to support your exercise. Eating cereal as a pre-workout breakfast can be an option, but it's important to choose the right type of cereal to fuel your workout effectively.
Here are 4 Tips to consider when choosing a breakfast cereal.
1. Sugar Intake: Try to have at most 6 grams of sugar per dry ounce.
2. Fiber: At least 3 grams per serving.
3. Read the ingredients label.
4. Add a protein alongside your cereal for added gains!
I like Savoy Fitness because it takes me out of my comfort zone, and makes me better on and off the court. It brings me closer to my teammates in many ways as well. We push each other to work harder everyday. Now that we are doing on court stuff we are realizing how much Savoy Fitness is improving our strength and quickness.

I love Savoy Fitness! It's not just a place to work out at, it's a fit family! I love the workouts, you never know what to expect, everyday is different. The people you work with are motivational and so are the trainers! I've been with Savoy over a year and usually make 3 workouts a week, the longest I've ever participated in a gym!
