Incorporating Hexis into your training and season periodization is more than just a convenience—it's a strategic advantage. Advancements in technology are now moving performance nutrition beyond simply tracking to predictive optimization. By aligning your nutrition with your training in advance, you may unlock new levels of performance and recovery while setting yourself up for long term success.
With Hexis' integration with your training plan through TrainingPeaks, it is the perfect companion to your training program guiding you through each day of optimized fueling. Knowing optimal nutrition timing and composition ahead of time provides athletes significantly more value than simply logging consumption in a backwards looking manner. Here is how integrating Hexis with your training can elevate your performance, recovery, and more.
1. Tailored fueling for every day
Hexis provides personalized fueling recommendations based on your unique training schedule, training duration and intensity, and goals. By syncing your training plan with Hexis, you’ll receive precise guidance on carbohydrate intake and energy needs, ensuring you’re always optimally fueled for every session—whether it's a high-intensity interval workout or a steady endurance ride. Hexis uses your individual eating schedule for meals and snacks to make its recommendations for you each day. If you stray from the guidance? No problem. Hexis adjusts your daily targets accordingly for the rest of the day. Rest day? Hexis provides recommendations based on your daily energy needs even on days without training.
2. Evidenced based recommendations
Hexis leverages the latest in sports nutrition science, including carbohydrate periodization, to help you maximize energy availability when you need it most. The app is powered by evidence-based principles, ensuring that your nutrition aligns seamlessly with the demands of your BaseCamp training program. The app is able to function for athletes of any level and training/performance goals including recreational athletes to professional and word tour riders.
3. Simplified meal planning
Gone are the days of guesswork and complicated meal prep. Hexis streamlines the process by providing clear and actionable daily fueling plans tailored to your daily training demands. This makes it easier to balance training with life’s other responsibilities while maintaining energy levels, energy availability, and peak performance.
4. Enhanced recovery
Recovery is just as important as the work you put in on the bike. Hexis helps you optimize your post-ride nutrition with precise recommendations for carbohydrate and protein intake, supporting muscle repair and glycogen replenishment. This means you’ll be ready to hit your next workout optimally fueled while feeling strong and energized.
5. Integrated insights for better results
Hexis’ integration with training platforms and its intuitive tracking system allow you to see how your nutrition aligns with your performance data. This holistic approach provides valuable insights into how fueling impacts your training outcomes, helping you make smarter decisions and fine-tune your strategy. Hexis offers a unique in-app real time view of your daily energy balance, helping you to avoid large deficits and surpluses in energy availability.
6. Support from nutrition experts
As part of the BaseCamp community, you understand the value of a supportive environment. Hexis enhances this by offering features that connect you with like-minded athletes and nutrition experts including PhDs, team performance directors, and professional riders, fostering a culture of shared learning, inspiration, and mutual encouragement.
7. Long-term health benefits and weight management
Beyond performance, proper nutrition lays the foundation for long-term health and well-being. Hexis encourages sustainable eating habits that support your athletic goals while promoting overall wellness. As your goals and your training change throughout the year, Hexis is able to integrate with your training plan you guide you through it all.
Case study: One of my BaseCamp athletes has been testing Hexis integrated with his cycling coaching for the past six months. In the two years I have been working with him, he has finally unlocked his weight loss strategy by using Hexis. According to the gold standard DEXA measurement, he has lost 12 pounds of body fat, increased bone density, decreased visceral adipose tissue, and increased his muscle mass. According to WKO5 insights, his fitness and performance metrics are all trending positive. Just as importantly, he has a renewed invigoration for improving his health, longevity, and his performance.
