Workout do’s and don’ts

 Working out can get your desired results, only when you are well informed about the dos and don'ts. The key is to hustle wiser, not harder. Workout practices are varied but here is a list we came up with — for any workout — to help make every drop of sweat worth it.

PRE-WORKOUT

Food for fuel: You will be amazed by the wonders of eating right prior to your workout session. Although fasting is known as the quickest weight loss method, it is not recommended to work out on an empty stomach. Researchers at the University of Bath, found out that men who had a meal before their workout session burned more carbs in general and also had a boosted metabolism rate.

This does not mean that you can overeat either. A light snack consisting of a mix of carbs and proteins is suggested about two hours before you start working out.

Hydration for regulation: Hydrating yourself 30 minutes ahead of your workout session is essential as water regulates your body temperature and the fluids in your joints. However, overhydrating will make you feel bloated, thereby weighing you down. Hence, the effective way is to hydrate in small amounts and avoid hydrating too soon pre-workout.

Stress less: Enter your workouts with a clear mind. Stress will only divert your focus and obstruct you from maximizing your gains.

Easy on the stimulants: Stimulants like caffeine can energise you and improve your performance but if not consumed in moderation, they can increase your heart rate, making you feel jittery and anxious.
