Short or light
- Usually enough: water and your normal meals.
- Product fit: your everyday routine covers it, so keep the sports products for bigger sessions.
Match energy, hydration and recovery to your workout: how long it lasts, how hard it is, how warm it is and how much you sweat.
For gym sessions, classes, cardio, sport and longer sustained activity. Building muscle with weights? See Gym & Muscle.
Hydrate for longer, hotter or sweatier sessions, Prolong Energy Gel for hard, sustained effort, Rebuild Strength after resistance or anaerobic training, and LiftOff Max as an optional caffeinated pre-workout.
Shorter, lighter sessions are covered by water and your normal meals.
A meal 2 to 3 hours before a harder session. Closer to the start, an easy carbohydrate snack, or LiftOff Max if you want a caffeinated lift.
Water for most sessions. Hydrate when it is longer, hotter or sweatier; Prolong Energy Gel for hard, sustained effort of about an hour or longer.
Rebuild Strength within 30 minutes after resistance or anaerobic training, then a normal meal with protein and carbohydrate.
Pick the card closest to the session you actually do.
A light run, an easy class or a short gym visit
Your normal routine covers it.
Roughly 45 to 75 minutes of gym, cardio or a class
Water during, a sensible meal around it.
Hard intervals, circuits or a demanding match
Asks more of food, fluid and recovery.
A long ride, run, match day or hard effort of an hour or more
Plan fuel and fluid before you start.
Duration, intensity, heat, sweat rate and the rest of your day all change what makes sense.
