What is a goo??? And why would I subject myself to eating that!?!?
I have to say, I totally agree! One goo trial, followed by another and this mama is done. There are an assortment of goos, bars and blocks to use for your workout fuel. You may already even have a favorite that works for you. Awesome.
As in so many areas of my life I have chosen to think out of the box and find a few whole food options for fuel during a workout. Let's start with some basics:
Once your workout time has extended beyond 60 minutes, it's time to consider adding more than tissue to your shorts pocket. Your body can store energy to keep it going the first 60 minutes, after that you'll poop out, feel quesy or just not give your best. Whats a mom to do?
Here are a few items you may already have in your cabinent that can help ya out:
- Raisins - these don't squash in your pocket & come in a snack pack size.
- Dried Cranberries- ditto
- Blueberries - another hardy traveling favorite
- Nuts- these last awhile & give you something else to think about on your journey
- Juice Plus chewables - fruits & veggies in chewable form- whole food on the go (www.livemorewithjuiceplus.com)
- Honey sticks - those long sticks your kids always beg for at farmers markets or if pick up a few packets from your local fast food joint.
These are all easily digestible carbs that your body can use NOW, in just the right portion for a body in motion. Love to hear any you have to add to the list.
Stay tuned, follow the blog and I'll post more on food and fuel later this week!
Keep movin' mama!
