Follow these easy steps to maximize and enjoy your workouts!

Pre-workout

• Hydrate by drinking 8 to 16 oz. of water and pack a water bottle.
• Eat some carbs – they convert to energy quickly. Try a granola bar or an apple and a handful of whole grain crackers.
• Get a solid eight hours of sleep.
• Limit alcohol consumption the night before a workout. Absolutely no alcohol within hours of your workout.
• Wear breathable workout ware – nothing fancy, just moisture wicking.

Post workout

• Eat some protein within a half an hour of your workout. Maybe a protein bar or shake. Low in sugar of course!
• Hydrate some more. Shoot to consume half of your body weight in ounces of water each day.
• Consume foods high in anti-oxidants. Think brightly colored fruits and veggies, and whole grains.
• Stretch sore muscles throughout the day.

Happy exercising!
