Your gym bag is full, the headphones are in the car you intend to go to the gym and training. And after leaving the job and he realizes he's tired.
I understand. When I go to work, I'm on my feet for 8 hours. And not only on the feet, but moving, lifting, pushing sometimes missing meals. I know what it feels like tired. I also know from experience that when you get to the gym, especially on days that my sofa call my name, I feel physically and mentally better than I have done my training.
Here's the thing. When working, the endorphins start pumping through your body. Endorphins are opiate Homegrown his body. Endorphins are neurotransmitters, chemicals pumping through your nervous system in response to things like sex, stress and yes, exercise. The result is a feeling oh-so-happy that cancels this feeling oh-so-tired.
Some days, knowing that my body will give me the momentum I work once is not enough. Here are my tips to maintain energy throughout the day, you feel ready for the gym and do not have to fight that mental battle.
1. Eat a balanced diet: carbohydrates, proteins, fats
Complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, healthy fats. Your body needs all macronutrients to work at its best.
Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, vegetables and fruits provide energy to the body. It's pretty simple. Carbohydrates = energy. So if you follow a low carb diet craze, make sure not to cut them completely.
Proteins such as fish, chicken and eggs provide the amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscles and produce enzymes and hormones. Eating protein helps you stay satisfied throughout the day.
Healthy fats such as avocados, butter and olive oil, metabolism aid, provide padding for organs and bones and aids in growth and reproduction.
A well-balanced meal, with the three macronutrients in it, keep your blood sugar steady and your energy level throughout the day.
2. Eat often: Have a balanced meal every 3-4 hours
There is a myth going around that skipping meals is the way to a slimmer self. Not sure.
You have to eat every 3-4 hours to maintain stable energy, your metabolism moves to prevent muscle loss and push-between-meal snacks.
Take a look at your schedule and take time to eat.
If you train in the morning, eat a little something an hour before going to the gym. If you work after work, make sure the midday snack is a healthy and balanced food to give you energy to get to the gym and through a workout!
3. Avoid processed foods
Processed foods contain false sugars, unhealthy fats, sodium and added a lot of additives that your body simply does not need. Do not eat them. Processed foods lack nutrients obtained from food, clean all unprocessed. It is possible to get a quick buzz sugar overload but you crash soon after.
4. Get enough sleep
It is very rare to find an adult who got enough sleep the night before. Your body uses sleep as a time to repair and grow. There are certain hormones, hormones that are vital to their health and muscle repair, which only occur during deep sleep cycle. If you do not receive, your body repair itself properly and that stress increases the simple fact that you only get 4 hours of sleep the night before.
5. Water
Accordingly, the water does not directly provide the energy body. But this directly affects every occurrence in your body it does.
Most of you, the person, the body is composed of water. The loss of only 2% of this water may cause significant effects in short, and energy performance. Dehydration is exhausting itself. Add to that the fact that a sufficient amount of water is needed to digest the macronutrients I mentioned above and move some of the micronutrients that contribute to side, and the importance of water begins to develop.
Get at least 8 glasses of water daily. More hard drive or if you live in a warm climate. Keep a complete hydroflask in me at all times to ensure they constantly have a cold water supply.
6. Eat the rainbow: Vitamins and Minerals
Macronutrients are fuel, fuel micronutrients make it work.
Vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) are both of great importance to maintain energy.
You see, micronutrients help your body break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins into pieces useful energy that the body recognizes. Kicking maintain their metabolism, their pumping hormones and the production of smooth cell.
7. Caffeine
In appropriate doses, caffeine can certainly be the key ingredient between a dull workout and kick-ass workout.
Research has shown that caffeine improves performance of endurance athletes, weightlifters, sprinters and weightlifters. The recommended dose depends on whether your body is used to caffeine or not, but I do not feel guilty enter a preschool in iced coffee!
8. Music
Good music can make or break a workout. Some days I go to the gym, start moving, the song comes on and right boom * * My energy level is through the roof and my training intensity goes up a few notches.
Make a playlist or find a radio station that plays songs you get pumped. Turn the music in the car on the way to the gym and sign your heart. You will forget your fatigue. Put on your headphones and increase the traffic jams start the investigation, forget that there is someone else in the gym and I promise you, your energy level and your fitness thanks.
You know what makes you, get your head straight, lace up your kicks and embrace apologized goodbye.
