Do I need carbohydrates when I train?

Carbohydrates are incredibly important when it comes to exercise. Think of them as the fuel your body needs to get through a workout. When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into glucose, which is a primary source of energy for your muscles during exercise. This is especially true for high-intensity activities where your body demands quick and efficient energy.

So how do carbohydrates help me train for longer?

Your body stores carbs in the form of glycogen in your muscles and liver. During longer or more intense workouts, your body dips into these glycogen stores to keep you going. If those stores are low, you’ll likely feel tired and might not be able to perform at your best.

Why not add Express Carbs to your routine and feel the difference for yourself?

I'm getting tired when I train; what can I do to reduce this?

Eating carbs before and during exercise can help sustain your energy levels, delaying that dreaded fatigue. This can make all the difference when you're pushing through a tough workout or participating in a long-distance event.

Should I avoid carbohydrates later in the day?

After you exercise, your body needs to recover. Carbs play a key role here, too. They help replenish the glycogen stores that you've used up, aiding in quicker recovery and muscle repair. Plus, when you have enough carbs, your body can use proteins more effectively for muscle building and repair, instead of converting them into energy.

What happens when you avoid carbs?

In short, carbs are essential for keeping your energy levels up, maintaining endurance, and ensuring you recover well. They’re like the high-octane fuel your body needs to perform and bounce back stronger.
