Latina Health in Sacramento: Refueling After Your Workout

What you eat and drink after your workout is important.

healthy-foodWhen you exercise, you stress the body a little bit, or stress the system a little bit, and/or burn a few calories. After your workout, you need to replenish your body with quality fuel. If you have a good workout and replenish with mediocre fuel you don’t get as much of a benefit from your workout. Water is always good of course, but you also want to have some protein, some carbohydrates, and even a little fat is ok. For example, if you follow a nice workout with some water, fresh fruit, whole grain bagel or crackers with some peanut butter, this gives you a good combination of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. This way you will get the most out of your efforts.

It also makes a difference how soon after your workout you refuel. Usually, you want to take in some liquids and some quality calories within 30 minutes after finishing your workout. If it’s a hard workout or a longer workout, you want to have a larger quality meal within 2 to 3 hours of finishing your workout.

There are all kinds of expensive workout supplements and fuel sources, but most are not necessary to improve your fitness, even with advanced workouts.

Join us at our Chicas Latinas Running Group every Wednesday evening, 6:30pm at Curtis Park in Sacramento! 

Latinas of Sacramento, Improve your Health by Running

health, latina health, latina running group, running group, Sacramento running group

There are many health and fitness benefits to running. If you Google “benefits of running” there are references for benefits with bone density, cholesterol, breast cancer, teamwork, cardiovascular health, blood pressure, weight, stress, and many others. Sometimes it pays not to focus too much on one benefit (for example weight loss) so we don’t get disappointed without immediate results.

When you are running you elevate your heart rate and you get many health and fitness benefits from that. The nice thing about running is that you can get the health benefits even if you are a beginning runner. You can start out walking, progress to walk/jog combinations, and then complete runs. If you are an intermediate/advanced runner you can capture health benefits as well. No matter where you are on the spectrum, it is possible to improve your fitness level with a regular running program.

The Chicas Latinas Running Group is a great place to start a running program or improve the running program you have now. There’s nothing like running with others in a group to keep you motivated!

This idea came from a couple of Chicas who like to run and participate in local 5ks.

Las Chicas Latinas de Sacramento aim to promote a healthy lifestyle and always encourage being active – here’s a way to get healthy and active with your fellow Chicas members!!!

Las Chicas are starting a “Latina Running Group.” We have a few members who are very experienced in running and training, and they are ready to teach and lead the Chicas. Whether you are there to improve your health, learn how to run properly, have plans of participating in local runs, 5ks, or even have marathon goals — join us!

The Latina Running group will cater to inexperienced and beginning runners – ALL LEVELS WELCOMED!!!

Chicas, please let us know: how often you’d like to meet (once a month, once a week), the days and times that work for you, and locations. Email us at: info@chicaslatinasdesacramento.org
