Hey I have a kindof silly question... I ate at 1pm ( a spicy bean burger and mixed salad) and was just wondering how long I should wait before I do my workout DVD... It's a high-energy dance one...
Thanks :)

    give it about 2 hours depending on how you feel.

    everyone digests food at different rates, but for a meal like that 2 hours would be the average.

    Especially as its a high energy dance one! lol you dont want your spicy bean burger coming back up!! haha

    If I eat a meal, I wait about an hour. If it's just a snack I don't wait. I don't know why I chose an hour wait time, I think it's because of the whole not-swimming-after-you-eat-or-you'll-get-a-cramp thing!!!

    Yah, 1 or 2 hours for a meal. But really, you will figure it out as you go. If you feel boated and "heavy" while you're dancing around, you didn't wait long enough. :)
