Fast Carb-Protein Pairings for Early Workouts
Toast with banana and a smear of peanut butter gives digestible carbs and steady protein. It is gentle on the stomach, quick to assemble, and perfect before strength circuits or HIIT intervals.
Hydration Rituals Before Your First Rep
Begin with a glass of water and a squeeze of citrus, sipping slowly while you set up your mat. If you enjoy coffee, keep it moderate and hydrate alongside, not after.
Smart Snacking Between Meetings and Movements
Pair an apple with Greek yogurt or a handful of roasted chickpeas. The quick carbs lift you into the session, while protein prevents dips that derail motivation halfway through.
Prep Once, Perform All Week
Cook a pot of brown rice, roast sweet potatoes, and bake chicken or tofu. Portion everything into clear containers, so reheating a balanced plate takes minutes before your session.
DIY Electrolyte Sips
Combine water, a squeeze of orange or lemon, a tiny pinch of salt, and a little honey if desired. Sip throughout longer sessions, especially if you are glistening with sweat.
Teas, Coffee, and Timing
Caffeine can help some athletes. Keep it earlier in the day, pair with water, and switch to herbal teas later. Avoid guzzling liquids immediately before core work or inversions.
Listening to Your Thirst Smartly
