Fluid and carbohydrate intake before, during and after training

When training on an indoor cycle careful attention to fluid and carbohydrate intake is required. Try to train in an air conditioned area or an area with good natural air circulation. A fan may help – keeping cool is important – see the section in the Wattbike Training Guide. Be careful about consuming many of the energy drinks that are available, many are calorie rich and contain sugar which will add weight rather than reducing it. The idea behind this plan is to assist with burning calories. Whilst correct hydration is vital this can be achieved during the workouts simply by drinking water before during and after your workout. Sensible eating before and after your workout will help to ensure you have sufficient energy for the workout whilst helping weigh/fat loss..
