A little while ago, I blogged about trying out different energy bars as a pre-workout snack. At the time, I felt I needed something to get through some of my more high-energy classes. I even went through a phase of trying different ones out, just for that extra shot of energy.
Well, fast forward a few months, and I don't need them anymore!
Really. Really, really. I find that doing a few things, when done routinely, actually help maximize my workout:
1) making time to eat breakfast with my kids (I find that either oatmeal or toast and almond butter alongside some fruit works beautifully to fuel everyone),
2) hydrating well, not just the day of, but the day before, and the day after (heck--everyday!)
3) eating well (see my post on eating for nutrition and not calories!)
4) not giving up on your workouts! You have to work out enough to actually get your body conditioned to being exercised. It will be painful at first, but stick with it, make a routine out of it, and it will eventually pay off.
