After a workout the body needs an intake 300/400gm of carbohydrates,
repeating within the next 2/3 hours.
Starting a training session when you
feel tired means you won't get much out of the session. It can also lead to
accumulated fatigue. Don't ignore your body's needs and don't over-train but
take it easy if you do. Both body & mind will appreciate it in the long
term.
A period of 30-36 hours of rest between training sessions is the
optimum period for recovery after a strenuous training session. This will vary
from individual to individual and will be affected by the fatigue build up over
a given training session.
It has been suggested that those who take
both CV (Cardiovascular) and resistance work in the same tough workout require
a greater period of recovery time. his is seen as a result of an increased
breakdown in muscle protein. If you are a cross-trainer increasing the above
levels of carbohydrates ingested may be a way to combat the double whammy
effect this type of training can have on your body.
Having the strength of
mind and sense to stop or reduce the amount of the new-to-you exercise you do
will pay off in the long term
