We Asked 5 Trainers What They Eat Before a Workout, So You Can Follow Their Lead

"When all is said and done, you have to know how your body adjusts to nutrition before a workout," Bamba explained. "Just like everything else with physical fitness, try various methods and find what works best for you and your body."
