6 WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR ENERGY FOR WORKOUTS

Everyone has days when they dread the thought of hitting the gym – even me. Feeling tired, overwhelmed or just plain not ready to exercise can make it hard to stick to your workout schedule. The next time you cant seem to get energized, try one of these techniques to give yourself a boost.

REDISCOVER YOUR MOTIVATION

What made you start working out in the first place? Was it a desire to lose weight and get your dream physique, or did you want to get into better shape so that you could spend hours playing with your kids without getting tired?

Remind yourself why you began an exercise program, and recommit to those goals. Consider the gains youve made so far and how much more youll be able to do if you stick with it!

USE TRIM-V TO INCREASE ENERGY & BOOST METABOLISM

Making Trim-V part of your daily wellness routine will help give you increased energy throughout the day. This energy will help you power through those afternoon slumps and will also give you extra energy to crush your workout!

Trim-V is based on a nootropic formula that works to help your body burn fat all day long!It also provides cognitive support that resets the body’s command center helping you to balance overeating by curbing your cravings. The nootropics work to break patterned chemical demands for sugar – without cravings for sugar you have more control over your weight loss goals!

TRY A PRE-WORKOUT SNACK

Eating a snack that includes complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and a small amount of clean protein an hour or two before your workout can help you stay energized and focused during the routine.

Try an open-faced peanut butter sandwich with banana slices or some oatmeal with fruit. Sip a cup of green tea for a dose of beneficial antioxidants!

CRANK SOME TUNES

Music can be a powerful motivator, so load up your phone or music player with the best workout songs you have. Listen on the way to the gym, and keep right on listening through your entire routine.

Many people find that just hearing the energy in the music helps to get them going and helps them continue to power through a tough workout.

SHAKE THINGS UP

If youve been doing the same routine or the same style of workout for a long time, try something different.

Move from the treadmill to a kettlebell class, try Pilates instead of yoga, vary the types of lifts that you do or give HIIT training a try. Both your body and your mind will appreciate the challenge.

GET MORE SLEEP

Skimping on sleep robs your body of the time it needs to repair itself. Aim for at least seven hours of continuous sleep per night so that your muscles can recover and your mind can prepare itself for the coming day.

When daytime fatigue hits, a quick 20-minute power nap can help restore your energy levels.

TAKE A REST DAY

If none of this works or you wind up feeling even more tired, your body could be telling you its time to back off.

Listen to the signals and skip the gym for a day. Limit yourself to light exercise such as walking or restorative yoga. Take some time to refresh your body and your mind, and you should find yourself feeling revitalized when you wake up the next day.

Maintaining the right balance between exercise, nutrition and rest will help you stay energized for your workouts and for anything else life throws at you. Treat yourself well to enjoy increased fitness gains and a lasting feeling of vigor.
