Make sure any pre-workout meal is eaten
Make sure any pre-workout meal is eaten at least an hour preferably 2 hours before your workout.
Check Equipment… If you run and your shoes are worn out buy new ones, if you lift weights ensure the weights are secure.
Get a Training Partner… This will make your workout more enjoyable, you’ve got someone to challenge you and for weight training a spotter.
Warm Up… Prepare the specific muscles you’ll be using for the activity ahead. If it’s running then jog for 10 mins. If it’s weight training then do some light reps.
Stretch… Some fitness routines have specific stretches you can do to prepare your body for the range of motion ahead. Stretching will also help prevent injury.
During Your Workout
Keep Hydrated… Especially in the gym or on a hot day, you’ll need far more than the recommended 8 by 8 ounces. Drink often and use your thirst as a gauge.
Use Sports/ Carb Drinks… For workouts longer than 45 minutes your body will need some of it’s energy replaced.
Use Good Technique… In whatever you do, this will allow you to get the most out of your fitness efforts.
