Getting sweaty, feeling energised, and enjoying moving your body is the best feeling! BUT if you’re not seeing results or you’re not recovering properly between sessions, following my tips below to get the most out of each workout!
1. Warm Up
Prevents injury, and allows you to use your muscles properly, performing movements correctly so you get more out of them! It’s so worth taking an extra few minutes to warm up!
2. Food is Fuel
If you’re working out regularly, it iss super important to fuel your body with the right food and the right amount. Make sure you’re eating enough protein and carbohydrates each day, to replenish your body and your energy stores.
3. Stretch
Taking just 5-10 minutes after every workout to stretch will help your recovery SO much! Try and hold each stretch for around 30 seconds to get the most out of it. You’ll recover faster, and feel fantastic the next time you go to workout!
4. Take Rest Days!
Rest is key to getting the most out of your workouts! Your body needs downtime to rest, recover and repair. Have at least 1-2 rest days per week, even if that means sticking to a light walk or yoga flow on that day.
