Hello Internet friends,
Today I will be writing about my pre-gym routine. I basically will be telling y'all what I do to prepare for the gym because it is a pretty important step in exercising and being healthy.
So the first thing that I do once I get dressed for the gym is to eat something high in protein and will give me a lot of energy. My favorite thing to eat before a workout is a toasted peanut butter and banana sandwich. I just get two slices of whole wheat bread and toast them in the toaster. I then spread peanut butter all over them and layer some sliced bananas over it. This pre-gym snack offers proteins and plenty of carbs to help you prepare for the gym.
The next snack I eat is not one of my favorites but it is good for you. Sometimes I will just grab a cup of Greek yogurt and eat it really quickly before I head out the door. This snack is perfect for those who do not want to waste anytime.
Another great thing to eat is a smoothie. This is also a really fast and easy snack that you could even take with you. My favorite thing to mix up are some sliced bananas and strawberries with plain Greek yogurt and some ice cubes. This is a very simple way to start your workout routine. You could easily find a very healthy recipe that you like online. You could even add protein powder!
Now, if you are one of those people who wakes up at the crack of dawn to hit the gym, then this is for you. Eating a bowl of good plain oatmeal is an excellent way to get hyped up for the gym. Just add some slices of apple or banana or strawberry and it adds just a bit of flavor.
After eating a healthy snack, I obviously fill up my Camelback water bottle. This is my favorite water bottle because it is so easy to drink out of when I'm on the elliptical or treadmill or at spinning class. Always make sure to have a pretty big water bottle filled up with ice water. Drinking plenty of water is key to staying hydrated, losing weight and clearing up skin.
What do y'all do before going to the gym?!
xox, Katie.
