Next time you exercise, make the most of your routine by making sure you:
-
Switch it up
Sticking to lifting weights or just doing cardio can actually decrease your metabolism. By switching your workout up to include routines you normally skip, you will build muscle and increase your metabolic rate.
-
Stay hydrated
Energy drinks might be good for a short-term gain, but to really make sure you are hydrated, stick to water. Energy drinks are packed full of sugar so they fill you with empty calories and counteract all of your hard work.
-
Catch some zzz’s
Sleep is the most important part of recovery from a training session. Your body re-re-builds and repairs muscle as you rest, making you stronger and fitter for the next time that you train.
-
Listen to music
Studies have shown that people recover faster after a workout listening to music than those who exercised without. This is because music boosts serotonin and dopamine which aid the recovery process.
