Exercise MYTH #9: Never eat before a workout

The TRUTH: Eat before your workout.

The enemy would like you to run out of energy and get weak. Now, if someone said to you, 'We're going to take a drive. Make sure you don't get gas,' I think I can visualize that look of astonishment on your face! Food is fuel, and you need it for your workout. However, do not overeat. If you have an evening workout, make sure that lunch is not the last meal you had. In addition, if you do not have time to get a decent meal, eat a banana, a sports shake or an energy bar. There is no excuse for not getting some good-quality nourishment in preparation for a good-quality workout.
