Eat well before workout!


Conventional wisdom says you shouldn’t train on a full stomach. But truth be told, eating a larger meal an hour or so pre-workout allows you to train harder and supplies the body with ample pre-workout carbs and protein that prevent muscle breakdown. Such a meal may cause the beginner to feel bloated, but in time your body will adapt by secreting the digestive juices required to deal with the hefty influx of food.

Stay Loose!


One of the key issues facing beginners is that they tense up when working out. You need to ensure that your body acclimatizes to intense physical exercise, however, so strive to relax your idle muscles and focusing on those that you are working during exercise.

Eliminate junk food.


"Junk food is food that offers almost nothing but calories." Cheat foods, on the other hand, like pizza and hamburgers, have some nutritional benefit, and eating them once in a while can really help when you're on a diet." Know the difference.

Move your legs. Burn your stress!


Walking frequently can reduce the incidence of many of the stress-related conditions. Walking releases tension from the major muscle groups, deepens the breathing and quiets the nervous system. Five or six 30-minute walks a week are usually recommended to maintain health and manage stress.

Be a water baby


Swimming can be excellent exercise, and even a short amount of time using the resistance of the water will help burn calories and work multiple muscle groups. Try treading water, swimming laps, or doing water aerobics for 30 to 60 minutes to get an excellent workout in the pool.

Eat plenty of proteins


Eating the right amount of complete protein for your weight and activity level stabilizes blood sugar (preventing energy lags), enhances concentration, and keeps you lean and strong. A complete protein is any dairy product or a grain plus a legume. Such as whole grain bread with peanut butter.

Have fun with pedalling


Many hotels and resorts offer activities at a fee that can allow you to be fit in a workout while you explore the area. Riding a bike, pedalling around a pond or lake, or walking with your clubs on a golf course can burn hundreds of calories. It makes your workout seem like less of an inconvenience when you travel.
