Specializes in Rheumatology

Do not eat...: Less than two hours before weight training. Your blood flow to your stomach and intestines will diminish your work capacity. However, stay well hydrated before exercising. When you do eat before exercising, have a high protein meal, and supplement your post-exercise regimen with a whey based shake!
