ENERGY LEVELS

​

YOU ARE RIDING HIGH GIIIIRRLLL! Energy levels should be UP UP UP!

​

BEST TIME TO WORKOUT

​

In the morning. You should have mega amounts of energy…so take advantage of it!

​

HOW TO FUEL YOUR BOD PRE & POST-WORKOUT

​

Carbs are still the go-to for fuel during your workouts at this time.
Because your risk for injury may go up during this phase due to your muscles and tendons being more lax, be sure to prioritize a DYNAMIC WARM UP before you workout & focus on proper form during your workout!

For recovery, be sure to hydrate. Higher energy levels = more of an all-around burn. So PLEASE get in that h2o + quality protein post-workout to give the body the proper fuel to rebuild!

​
