3 Things You Should Be Doing Before and After Every Workout💪👊💦⠀
—⠀
1️⃣Get enough sleep 💤⠀
It may seem counterintuitive that resting would help you get more out of your workout, but you can’t use energy if you don’t have it. Recovery time is crucial to consistent progress. If you’re constantly fatigued, you will fail to reach your potential. When you’re tired, it is more difficult to maintain proper form in activities like yoga, pilates, and kickboxing, which means you are more likely to get injured. Not sleeping well also makes it tougher to even get to your workout. Exercising should be a treat you look forward to, not a chore.⠀

2️⃣EAT CARBS AND PROTEIN 🍌⠀
For more controlled strength and flexibility-training exercises like high-intensity interval training, Pilates, or yoga, your body is still in recovery mode after your workout. So wait at least 15 minutes before drinking beverages high in anti-inflammatory antioxidants like berries, papaya, ginger, and green tea.⠀
Pre-workout fuel is important, too. It’s important to have light food in your system (toast or oatmeal) before a morning workout. Looking for a workout-friendly snack before bed? Try easily digestible greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a dose of casein, a protein that research shows stimulates “muscle protein synthesis.⠀
3️⃣HYDRATE💧💦⠀
Your workout may feel harder, and you may not be able to push yourself as hard if you don’t replace those fluids right away. Proper hydration starts before you hit the gym and continues throughout the rest of your day.
