Exercise Tips for Mums:

It is important that our muscles contain enough muscle glycogen for you to complete an exercise session. So eating a fairly carbohydrate-rich meal two hours prior to exercise will give you that energy- always allow a two hour gap to enable the body to fully digest the meal. 

Approximately 1 hour before exercising - aim to either eat a carbohydrate-based snack like toast.

Other good snacks to include are a piece of fruit, a glass of fruit juice, or a low-fat yogurt.

**Important** Drink a pint of water to stop you becoming dehydrated.
