Hi
I'm going to my first intense high cardio boxing class today... What should I eat beforehand? I'm female, 164#,5'5. Thanks

Carbs!

Nothing that will sit heavy. Either eat a proper meal with protein and complex carbs 2-3 hours before, or stick with a simple carb like a banana 30-60 mins before

I am taking boxing drill and I take a protein shake (whey protein isolate blended with banana and almond milk), 45 minutes before my session.
I usually fuel my training with my nutrition the prior day . I plan to eat more the day before heavy lifting or boxing day.
Good luck in your healthy journey

Whatever won't make you sick during the workout.

I almost always eat a banana or a large apple. A granola bar will do if nothing else is available.

I box and eat a Nutrablendz shake or protein bar.
