Pre exercice

Nutritional preparation before training or competition is crucial to optimizing your athletic performance. Eating well helps maximize your energy reserves, delay the onset of fatigue, and promote better recovery. Our sports nutrition products, such as pre-workout drinks and energy creams, are specially formulated to meet the needs of athletes of all levels. In this section, we guide you on the best nutritional practices to adopt before exercise, so you can perform at your best in every session.

Pre-workout drink: hydration and concentrated energy

A pre-workout drink plays a fundamental role in optimizing your athletic performance. It is designed to effectively hydrate your body while providing a quick and easily absorbed source of energy. A good pre-workout drink should contain a balanced mix of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and vitamins to support prolonged and intense exercise.

Why and how should you consume a pre-workout drink?

Consuming a pre-workout drink helps maintain optimal hydration levels, essential for preventing dehydration, which can quickly impair your performance. The carbohydrates in this drink provide a rapid source of energy, reducing the risk of premature depletion of glycogen stores.

Our Carbo Powder, a maltodextrin-based pre-workout drink, will allow you to build up energy and carbohydrate reserves before a competition or an intense training phase. A 3-day refueling is equivalent to 2.3 kg of cooked pasta in terms of carbohydrates.

If you don't want to refuel, you can drink the Booster+ sports drink regularly the day before your race.

Pre-workout energy bars: a practical and effective source of energy

Pre-workout energy bars are valuable allies for athletes looking for a quick and convenient source of energy before exercise. They are designed to provide an ideal combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and electrolytes, helping to support physical exertion and delay fatigue.

Why and how to consume them?

Our pre-workout cereal bars are particularly practical because they are easily transportable and can be consumed anywhere, without prior preparation. They are ideal for athletes who need a compact and efficient energy boost just before a training session or competition. We recommend consuming one bar approximately 30 to 60 minutes before exercising. This allows the complex carbohydrates and fast-acting sugars to be released gradually, ensuring a continuous energy supply. Our flapjacks, made with quality ingredients, will prevent blood sugar spikes and sudden energy drops.

By incorporating energy bars before the start of your workout, you benefit from a convenient and balanced source of energy, essential for approaching your workouts with vitality and endurance.

Energy Cream: A Pre-Workout Alternative to Bars

Our Carbo Start Energy Cream is a source of rapidly absorbable carbohydrates, providing immediately available fuel from the start of your workout. If your last meal is a while away, this energy cream will prevent you from dipping into your glycogen stores too quickly. It will allow you to approach a race feeling fully fueled and will help you optimize your endurance for a long workout, such as a marathon, trail, or triathlon.

It can be prepared easily and in just a few minutes by adding water to the powder. You'll obtain a smooth and delicious chocolate and chocolate chip cream. Perfectly digestible, it can be consumed just 15 minutes before starting your workout.

Dietary Tips: Optimal Preparation Before Exercise

Good preparation isn't limited to consuming specific products just before exercise. Here are some tips to optimize your diet in the days leading up to an event:

A Few Days Before

Replenish your glycogen by slightly increasing your intake of complex carbohydrates (pasta, rice, quinoa) in your meals. Hydrate regularly and avoid foods that are too fatty or difficult to digest.

The Day Before Exercise

Opt for a carbohydrate-rich dinner, with lean protein and cooked vegetables to aid digestion. Avoid spicy or fatty foods that could disrupt your sleep or digestion.

The Morning of Exercise

Eat a balanced breakfast about 3 hours before exercise. Include complex carbohydrates, protein, and some healthy fats. For example, a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and nuts, or an energy bar, is an excellent option. Hydrate well, but not excessively, to avoid gastric discomfort.

A few minutes or hours before the start

A small, carbohydrate-rich snack, such as a banana, a flapjack energy bar, or a Carbo Start energy cream, is ideal about 30 to 60 minutes before the start. Drink a few sips of your Booster+ energy drink to ensure you're well hydrated and have sufficient energy intake.
