Tips to make any workout more effective

Remember to warm up - A good warm-up prepares your body for your workout and reduces your risk of injury. Warm up with cardio or dynamic stretches to increase your range of motion and get the blood flowing to your muscles.

Make strength training part of your routine - According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), doing strength training two to three times a week can help enhance your aerobic routine by challenging your muscles through resistance. Strength training can improve bone health and help increase your strength so you can perform daily activities more easily. It can also help reduce your risk of injury. Strength exercises can still be effective if you ’ re just using your bodyweight. Push-ups, step-ups, pull-ups, squats, planks and lunges can all be performed anywhere, including at the end of your morning run or walk. Include more carbs in your pre-workout snack - Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for most workouts. A 2017 study by the Queensland University of Technology, found consuming carbs (like a banana or smoothie) before and after high-intensity exercise may improve endurance, minimize any exercise-related immune disturbances, and help you recover faster. We recommend healthy snacks like apple slices with peanut butter or eggs on toast before a workout. If your pre-workout meal is close to your workout, keep the snack small to avoid feeling ill.

Stay hydrated - Your muscles are made up of more than 70% water which is why hydration is so important before, during AND after your workout If you ’ re someone who forgets to drink throughout the day, carrying a water bottle can remind you to drink regularly Don’t enjoy water? Try infusing it using fresh fruit or find a herbal tea you like!

Prioritize sleep - When you get a good night’s sleep, not only will you feel more energized and alert, but your body has more time to repair and recover Train with a friend - Exercising with friends can keep your workouts fun and help you stay accountable If your friends aren't into fitness, you could join a gym to be around other people or see if there are any running or walking groups in your area
