If you want to know how to build muscle on of the most important tips you can pick up is learning to utilize the post-workout window for nutrition. Today we'll be looking into this and teaching you how to get the most out of it.
Like most things in life, you tend to get best results when you keep things as simple as possible. When it comes to building a better body that rule is certainly true.
Depending upon how long you have already been exercising you might have already come across this phenomenon. For a while, many regular exercise enthusiasts believed there was a 'magic window' and if you consume any kind of nutrition within this so-called magic window your body would be able to make excessive gains in the gym. Science then provided the proof to back up those claims. The most common questions on this subject are easily:
* What length of time does the window stay open for?
* What type of foods should I eat in this period?
* What is the reason this actually exists?
* What should you expect if you fail to hit the golden window?
We'll be discussing all of the questions above. The magic window is something which occurs after you complete an exercise session. Basically your body is trying to replace all of the nutrients it has just lost.
To put it simply, it wants food and it wants it immediately. To a large extent it doesn't even care what you eat, it's going to try to use as much energy from the food provided. If you provide it with an already nutritious food you really experience the benefits here.
The magic muscle building window closes after just forty five minutes so we want to be trying to provide it with all the nutrition it needs within that time.
It wouldn't make sense to eat some complex carbohydrates or any food type which is going to take the body 4-5 hours to break down...
Try combining some whey protein with a bowl of cereal or some fruits in your post-workout meal. Despite being a very light meal, it's packed full of the nutrients your body is calling our for after a gym session and, most importantly, we are able to break down these meals and process them well before the window closes.
During this small post-workout period our body will work to make the most of absolutely any food we provide it with. But if you make an effort to provide it with only options which are healthy in the first place you practically double your success rate here in one easy move.
Should you miss this golden window there is no need to panic. The damage by missing it once or twice is absolutely minimal, this is something which will enhance your results if you hit it on a consistent basis but won't wreck your progress if you miss it here and there.
For those who wish to know how to build muscle or even how to lose weight the post-workout window will become their best friend. It's an integral part of a good training routine and over time you will notice huge results from this proven method.
