Sport Glucose tablet

[Terry]

I exercise to keep fit and lose weight,before exercise I take a glucose tablet to give me more energy.But I am wondering if I am doing the right thing,is it not true that the reason you loose weight through exercise is because the body uses the fat we have stored, as energy to do the exercises.
So if I am already taking a glucose tablet before exercise am I not wasting my time as the body does not have to burn the fat to get the energy as I am supplementing it with glucose.I am confused can anyone put me on the right path comments welcome.
Regards Terry.

First off......why would you take a glucose tablet anyway? If you are fueling yourself the way you should, you shouldn't need a tablet to give you more energy.

Are you wasting your time? I don't think that any form of exercise is a waste of time. Sitting around watching TV and thinking about losing weight is wasting time....so keep going!

In order to really figure out if you are doing the right thing, a professional should evaluate your health, fitness and nutrition and get you on track.
