“Doctor Kimbo, after yielding to your pressure, I went to the gym for the first time and almost fainted. How do you lift weights on an empty stomach?”
You don’t faint or feel dizzy because you lack food in your stomach.
Your brain, muscles, heart, adrenal glands and lungs are yet to adapt to weight lifting. They need plenty of oxygen and the heart is yet to keep up with the demand.
Don’t take food, glucose or energy drinks…
What you need in plenty is SALTED WATER.
Be well hydrated in the gym. Take frequent rests.
After 60-90 minutes in the gym, go home, have a cold shower, hydrate more and rest for 48 hours before lifting weights again.
A mug of coffee 45 minutes before the gym session helps a lot.
CONGRATULATIONS for choosing the right lifestyle. Kenya has one more winner.
