    1. Eba and egusi

    If you need energy, this is the best thing to eat before you go to the gym.

    2. Poundo yam

    Don’t eat normal pounded yam o. That one will weigh you down. Eat poundo yam. You will be strong. All the people in the gym will feel you.

    3. Yam pottage

    This one might weigh you down small, but it’s that small weighing down that you need to push yourself to work out harder.

    4. Pap and moimoi

    This one will make you work out well, so that you can burn out all the nonsense you’ve put in your system. It’s reverse psychology. You’re tricking your body.
