Workout Essentials




Going to the gym and working out on a regular basis is a great thing so you should be proud of yourself for caring enough and taking the necessary steps to improve the quality of your life. There are so many great benefits that you get from exercising, but if you're not prepared and don't have what you need it can affect your experience. The most important part of having a good workout experience is wearing workout apparel that is comfortable and fits your body well. It's great to look cute and some women even shoot for sexy; However a good sports bra and proper support are everything! The shoes that you wear must be comfortable too. Pick shoes that are flexible with good cushioning so that they can support any type of work out that you choose to do. Good shoes provide excellent support for cross training and HIIT (High intensity interval training).
You also need to stay hydrated while exercising to maintain proper body temperature so you must have a water bottle. Don't forget your towel because if you're getting a good work out in then you should definitely be sweating, and using a towel regulates your body temperature to stop overheating.
Music is important too because it can motivate and inspire us so a good play list can really make your workout enjoyable! Invest in some good headphones that won't fall off.  Last but not least a good protein shake before or after your workout is good too. If you take it before your workout it gives you energy. A protein shake right after your workout  replenishes your body's lost nutrients, and helps with muscle repair. Only do both if you plan on doing an intense workout.

If you are serious about being physically fit, increasing your energy level and feeling better about yourself then exercise is necessary. If you feel like you don't really have time to go to the gym you can always take a walk, go bike riding on the beach, go for a swim, go hiking etc. People find time to do things that they want to do and if you want to be fit you'll find time for that too.

Fall in love with Fruit Infused Water

Image
Some of us may have early childhood memories of our parents making us eat foods that we weren’t particularly fond of as children, but were nutrient dense (veggies, for example!) and essential for optimal development. As adults, some of us even struggle to do something as simple as drinking water. We love that it’s refreshing but may not be fond of the bland taste.  Whether it’s the lack of flavor, or just not reaching for the water bottle often enough, many individuals struggle to reach their recommended daily water intake. Water is essential to all life and has countless benefits down to a cellular level. However, sometimes   the facts are still not enough to make some interested in drinking enough water.
