xenacryst: Aerial silks acrobat in an inversion (Aerial silks)

I tend to find a regular meal a few hours before my silks workouts tends to work well for beforehand. And by regular meal, I mean not something rich and heavy like a ribs platter, but more like your general sandwich. After my workouts, I usually just do a late dinner, but I've also found that I gravitate towards grabbing handfuls of nuts and dried fruit - good mix of natural sugars and protein that works pretty well. I've also sometimes done a light meal earlier in the day and then maybe a Clif or Luna bar an hour or two before the workout.

Of course, part of my pre-workout eating strategy is based around not wanting much in my tummy while I'm hanging upside down 15 feet off the ground with fabric wrapped around my middle.
