And if you don’t eat proper meals after pumping that iron, it could lead to disastrous results. Read here to know more.   A good workout makes you feel elated. And why not? Exercise is known to boost mood and release happy hormones. But to remain happy, you need to eat and nourish the body. Skipping post-workout meals can make you feel more tired and hazy.

Doctors recommend eating at least 30 minutes post working out to replenish and refill the body, especially with carbs and proteins to repair the damage done to the muscles.

Here is what happens to the body when you don’t eat enough after exercising:   Breakdown of the muscle: During intense workouts, there is a lot of muscle wear-and-tear.

Whether it is an injury or travel, there are many reasons why you may need to take a break. This is how you return to your training regimen Reshma Sood, 42, had sustained a shoulder injury last year. After pushing through the pain for some time, the Mumbai-based businesswoman decided to take a break from all kinds of workouts, including her favourite weight training, till she recovered completely.

While professional athletes take scheduled breaks depending on their season and injuries, the recreational ones take a break whenever work, family or injuries force them to. Sood’s break lasted six month and she finally started working out a month ago. Abhinav restarted in March with the aim of reversing all his unwanted gains. No matter what the reason, restarting training after a break, especially anything longer than two weeks, is a huge challenge. “Tell me about it,” says Bengaluru-based Tanya Rocque, a 27-year-old marketing specialist, whose travels had forced her to take a break. “I am quite regular with my fitness routine […]
