Instant Energy
Need a lift?
Training with weights can pump you up mentally, say University of Georgia scientists. In a recent study, sedentary people who said they felt tired reported significantly more energy right after they hoisted iron.
Exercise can cause your brain to release mood-improving chemicals, which may tirgger the boost, says study author Matthew Herring.
How much is enough? The participants did only 12 sets a session.
Nature's Protein Shake
British researchers found that lifters who drank 890ml of milk following a workout experienced less muscle damage than those who skipped the beverage.
The protein and carbohydrates in milk appeared to inhibit muscle breakdown and may also reduce inflammation.
Speed your workout recovery with this effect.
