Why do we have to refrain from eating at least two hours before class?

Food consumed before exercise is only useful once it has been digested and absorbed. This means you need to time your food intake so that the fuel becomes available during the exercise period. The time required for digestion depends on the type and quantity of food consumed. Generally, foods higher in fat, protein and fibre tend to take longer to digest than other foods, and may increase the risk of stomach discomfort during exercise. A general guide would be 3-4 hours for a meal and 1-2 hours before exercise for a light snack.

 

What are some of the things I should remember before I come for a class?

Call to book your class at least 2 days in advance. This is important as some classes may be more heavily attended than others. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the class commences to register and prepare yourself for the class. You will not be allowed entry once the class commences.
