Hello friends! I hope you're all doing great.
I'd like to start coaching my wonderful girlfriend at the gym, and I'd like to kindly as your advice. She is 24, weighs 135, about 5' 75 tall.
1 - Supplements: She doesn't eat much at all, so I figured using BCAAs would be great to prevent muscle loss. Is it safe to use? That would be Bulk supplements, it contains L-Valine, L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine.
How about Glutamine and Whey protein?
2 - Kind of exercise: What is best, high intensity or lower intensity and more reps? I am thinking getting her started with elastic bands, so it's gentle on her body. What do you think?
3 - Blood sugar levels: What is the safe window to operate? Say for example, between 80 - 200, if more or less, then we must avoid exercise?
4 - What kind of blood sugar fluctuations during and after exercise should I expect?
Any other advice / experiences to share?
Thank you so much!
