What To Eat After A Boxing Fitness Class

TITLE Boxing Club boxing and kickboxing classes combine both cardio and strength training for the ultimate full-body workout. This intense training demands a lot from your body and it’s important to replenish the energy and nutrients that powered you through your workout as soon as possible. Refueling your body properly post-workout will help you preserve lean body mass and aid in muscle recovery.

You may think post-class is the best time to grab your favorite less nutrient-dense meal since you just burned a lot of calories, but that may not be the best option for your fitness goals. If you’re wanting to build muscle and decrease body fat, you want to focus on refueling with quality protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
