2. Alcohol
As a famous man once said “alcohol, the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems” and whilst this may be true in a sense, for those doing a workout routine, it’s far from a solution. Alcohol has been shown to have negative effects on the recovery of muscles after a workout and even has a negative impact on strengthening muscles. Coupled with the caloric content of alcohol (with some beers having of around 200-250 calories per pint)and large glasses of wine having over 290 calories, it’s best to avoid drinking whilst training!
Your body also directs it’s attention to burning these empty calories, instead of burning fat, which means your body fat store increases whilst drinking alcohol.
