- Eat more carbs
Supply the body with efficient energy fuel found in grains, starchy vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products, and carbohydrate-replacement drinks
- Obey your thirst
Drink fluids before, during, and after exercise to prevent dehydration, but avoid overdrinking, too
- Take a multivitamin
When your diet isn’t enough, extra vitamins and minerals will help your body get the nutrition it needs for exercise
- Check out creatine monohydrate
Take 15 to 20 grams a day of this supplement for five or six days to improve performance of high-intensity, short-duration exercise (like sprinting) or sports with alternating low- and high-intensity efforts
- Try vitamin C
Take 400 mg a day for several days before and after intense exercise to reduce pain and speed muscle strength recovery
