## Put it into practice

Depending on timing and tolerance, try a banana, some bread or a regular meal earlier in the day. Not every workout needs a special product.

## Things to keep in mind

Keep brief notes about what suits you. With diabetes or medicines affecting blood sugar, discuss food around exercise individually with a professional.

## Your next step

- Choose familiar food
- Allow time for comfort
- Note how you feel
