The Pre Workout Checklist

The Pre Workout Check List

Some days, we feel like a beast, the strongest human on the planet after a workout and some days we feel like we have no strength.

Ladies and gentlemen, the major reason behind this is the pre workout regimen you follow.

Yes it is quite influential on the workout. So, today we discuss about the checklist we all can incorporate for an intense and successful workout.

   1. Adequate sleep

This may not affect the quality of the workout directly, but plays a role. If we don’t have enough sleep, our body doesn’t recover and doesn’t have the energy reserves it need for the workout. A nap of 30 to 40 minutes before an hour or two of your workout can surely help.

    2. Pre Workout Nutrition and Supplementation

This is a very researched and impactful factor.

The time you should eat varies, some people vomit even eating before an hour or two of workout and some directly go to the gym after having a meal. Look out for what works for yourself.

You can eat high glycaemic or slow digesting carbs and proteins such as oats, pasta, whole wheat bread, eggs and egg whites.

Supplements you can take is creatine, having pre workout supplements with stimulants is not preferred.  

  

   3.  Find the right music

Many studies have showed that people who listen to music perform better in workouts.

Different individuals like to listen to different genres. Just find what motivates you, make the playlist, get the earphones in and be ready.

 

   4. Mental preparation

I have heard lots of people saying that what athletes and bodybuilders in specific do is just physical labour. It is not so, it is more of a mental war. When we are in pain, only our mind pushes us.

Our body can take over anything, it is our mind that gives up.

Just shut off your smartphones, get on the music and visualize the workout and your goals.

 

   5. Hydration

Our body is 70% fluid and loss of water promotes muscle breakdown, which is not good for our body. Focus on hydration.
