Suggested Use Guide
0-1 Hours Of Effort
When you're exercising for an hour or less, it's important to start your workout well-hydrated and energized. Five minutes before your activity, top off your energy stores with one serving of Energy Chews. It's always best to take a few sips of water to help your body process your fuel.
1-2 Hours of Effort
When you're exercising for longer than an hour, it's important to refuel along the way. Aim to eat one serving of Energy Chews every 20-30 minutes to keep going strong, and be sure to hydrate while taking gels to help your body efficiently process your fuel.
