Strengthening your core is a vital part of increasing your athleticism.
If you really want to run faster and jump higher you cannot neglect your abs.
1. Eat five or six small meals
=> In order to effectively train your body to b.urn fat efficiently, you need to spread out your meals and not go long hours without eating. This will give your body the metabolic benefits it needs.
2. Don't let hunger be your guide:
=> The human body is actually a bit out of sync: By the time it tells you it needs nutrients, it's already deficient. So it's important to eat a meal before you get real hungry. And remember a meal can consist of 300-500 calories.
3. Don't Forget About Protein:
=> How much protein is enough? Your safest bet is between 0.8 and 1 gram of protein per pound of lean mass. So base it off of your optimal weight rather than your current weight.
4. Eat Balanced Meals:
=> Make sure your meals are balanced with carbs, protein and some fat. Having a balanced meal will put you in a great metabolic state for building muscle and burning fat.
5. Diversify your carbs:
=> When planning meals, you may find it tempting to stick to a few familiar sources of carbohydrates. But your system works better when you keep it guessing a bit, so don't get caught in a carb rut.
So those are some quick dietary tips you can use throughout your day to maximize your workouts.
