Eat Right for Peak Fitness
Friday, March 21 • 7:00 - 9:00pm

Proper nutrition plays a critical role in the effectiveness of any fitness regimen. Learn how to make informed food choices to maximize the effectiveness of your training. If your workouts are aimed at weight loss, your diet will be different than if you are intent on muscle gain. Do sports drinks and energy bars have a useful role in fitness nutrition? Should you eat before your workouts? What are the best foods to fuel your sporting event? Is supplementation useful? Bring your questions and leave with a greater understanding of what to eat to help your fitness plan succeed.
