Learn to energize your next training session!
It is 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. You are just about to leave for the table tennis club and practice hard from 3pm-6pm. You need some extra energy to fuel your training session. What should you get? A triple-thick chocolate milkshake from McDonalds? Three candy bars from Wal-Mart? A Java Monster from Speedway? I would recommend a high-energy fruit smoothie.
Here is my newest mixture that I have recently been enjoyed over the past 1-2 months…
1 cup of ice
1 cup of fresh mango (cut up)
½ cup of fresh strawberries

Learn the Details About Meals
Most professional athletes have very strict diets. They feast for breakfast eating heathly food with good carbohydrates, eat normal for lunch, and eat a bit lighter for dinner.
Why do they eat so much early in the day? They eat large amounts of food to fuel their workouts. Without the proper carbohydrate intake, they cannot give 100% to practice because they run out of energy after 1-2 hours. The large intake of food in the morning is what fuels their workout.
