Carbo Loading

If you sense in your workout that you feel drained, I suggest you test out carbo loading in your routine.  I mean Pasta! Oy!

I hit a wall some time ago and nothing was working for me.  In my routine, I do 35-45 minutes of cardio prior to lifting weights.  I just felt that I had to push through and keep going.  My weight lifting routine is circuit based and by the time I got to my second circuit, I was done.  I really had to push hard to finish my last circuit. 

My lovely wife happened to serve pasta the next night and when I went to workout the following day, Oh my, I had gusto again.  I put two & two together and found out that pasta does help the night before a hard work out.  Check it out and see if it works for you.  But don't over do it, make sure you only carbo load the night prior to a good workout.
