At the gym

Regular workouts are a major part of many people’s lives. Here are some suggestions from Quest Nutrition on how to maximise time and effort at the gym.

Fuel your success: Nutrition plays a pivotal role in achieving peak performance. Discover the art of balanced eating, ensuring you get the right mix of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Stay hydrated and optimise your performance with pre- and post-workout nutrition strategies. A gym junkie should be aiming for 1.8g – 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight each day for optimum muscle growth and recovery.

Rest and recovery: Don’t overlook the importance of rest and recovery. Adequate sleep is your body’s best friend, facilitating muscle repair and growth. Incorporate well-deserved rest days into your routine and indulge in recovery techniques like foam rolling, stretching, saunas, cold plunges, and massages.

Coaching excellence: Elevate your fitness game by working with a dedicated coach or personal trainer. While you might feel you know your way around the gym, engaging an expert can provide personalised guidance, knowledge, and unwavering motivation. They will work with you to craft a workout plan that’s tailored to your unique needs, giving you a powerful plan of exercises and a
workout split to smash your goals.
