What is your favorite type of exercise? I am a huge fan of water aerobics and have been doing it for years. It puts less stress on my joints and muscles while working out and helps to build my upper and lower body strength. Exercise also works to boost my mood. Which right now in life, I need more than ever.
After a good work out, I like to do a few additional activities to help my health. First, I take 10 minutes and do a relaxing cool down. Normally, I swim laps leisurely around the pool at a slower pace and reduced intensity. This helps to regulate my blood flow.
Next, I like to stretch a little. Since my muscles are already warmed up, I find that stretching helps to improve my flexibility and range of motion. As I get older, this becomes more important.
Then after I work out, I like to eat a snack to increase my energy. When it comes to a post-workout snack, what you choose to put in your mouth is important. You want to fuel your body with proper nutrition. That means being thoughtful about what you eat after exercising will help you maximize the benefits of all your workout.
So, what’s the best post-workout snack? I like to eat a delicious Kellogg’s joybol! joybol was created with a mission to bring joy to your day anytime, anywhere! Joybols are a conveniently satiating, creamy + crunchy layered food experience. I prefer to add milk to the bowl and stir it up for a cool refreshing post-workout snack, but you can also add water if you’d like.
joybols also easily travels! I like to pack a few super berries chia bowls in my gym bag and take them with me to water aerobics or over to a friend’s house to eat after I go swimming with my kids.
I’m also impressed with joybol’s list of ingredients. Each granola smoothie bowl contains:
- 10-11 grams of protein
- non-gmo
- no artificial flavors
- real ingredients like fruit, chocolate, nuts and granola
- Comes in 3 delicious flavors – strawberry almond quinoa, super berries chia and chocolate hazelnut
Kellogg’s joybols are available on Amazon or at your local grocer store. To learn more, visit joybols on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook!
Happy Exercising!
