GU Energy Gel is specifically formulated to energize your body during exercise. Using GU during your regular workouts will keep your mind alert and active, and your muscles going strong. GU gives the most concentrated form of immediate energy with no stomach bulk or distress, is quickly and efficiently absorbed, and will maintain your blood sugar at the optimal level for a great workout start to finish.

How to GU properly:

TRAINING: Consume one GU 15 minutes before working out and then one GU every 30-45 minutes (followed by a few sips of fluid).
RACING: Consume one GU 45 minutes before the start of the race and then one GU every 30-45 minutes (followed by a few sips of fluid).

Exact GU intake depends on the intensity of your effort, your body weight and fitness level. The fitter you are and the more efficient your metabolism, the more GU you can consume each hour, up to approximately 340 calories every 60 minutes. Each GU Energy Gel pack has 100 calories.

Always drink at least 24-30 ounces of fluid per hour during training and racing.
