Whatsup Now

the best thing I heard recently, that is backed up anyway, is that milk is the best after excercise drink. Due to the fact that it is essentially blood plasma with added goodness, it is as good as you can get.

Yep, the gym instructors (which are 'properly' qualified; they all have sports science degrees - so I think it's fair to say they are fairly reliable) wrote an article in the Imperial student newspaper Felix saying that skimmed milk was one of the best and most cost effective things to consume after a workout.

If it was a load of nonsense I'm pretty sure a lecturer/researcher/student at Imperial would have argued against it - I never saw anything in the following issue.

I started working out in the gym for the first time at the start of this term. I have very little visible muscle and consider myself to be quite weak and skinny but after I'd guess about 6 or 8 sessions (3 times a week with 1 pint of skimmed milk straight after) I can see a difference, especially my legs. When I got back home to Basingstoke I've noticed I can climb hills waaaay quicker than I used to be able to as well :)
