I like numbers 6 and 9. I found that the leg raising exercises seem to target the lower abdominals, and seem to work great on the roman chair (not sure if thats the official name for that machine), and using benches to do leg raises. For #9, what if I work out at night time? Does this change the time when I should be changing my diet, since I know that the insulin spike is needed for protein to be properly used.
ReplyDeleteIf you work out in the morning or evening then ALWAYS have a protein shake after your workout. If it has carbs in it then that is alright even if it is in the evening time. The tip is really meant for people not working out in the evenings as most do not work out in the evenings. For the most part stick to veggies and protein in the evening.
