My Pre-Workout Musts

I am always trying to give my body what it needs and wants. For a workout you need fuel - so EAT! Don’t be afraid of food.

Give yourself nourishing foods and liquids. Don’t get caffeine from Celsius, get it from coffee or green tea.

Always eat after your workouts. Your body needs it, trust me!

Getting ready for a workout isn't just about lacing up your shoes; it's about preparing your body and mind. Over time, I've really honed in on what works best for me to ensure I have the energy and endurance to crush my gym sessions. It all starts with smart fueling and a few simple rituals before I even step out the door. First up, let's talk about food. My body needs fuel, especially when I'm pushing it hard. I always make sure to eat something nourishing that provides quick energy without making me feel sluggish. My absolute favorite vegan pre-workout snack? Peanut butter dates! They’re incredibly easy to prepare and pack a punch with natural sugars for immediate energy and healthy fats from the peanut butter for sustained release. It’s a perfect combo that keeps me going without feeling heavy. If I'm looking for other vegan options, a banana is always a winner for quick carbs, or sometimes I'll whip up a small bowl of oatmeal with berries if I have a little more time before my workout. The key is something easily digestible that gives you that immediate boost. Beyond just snacks, what I drink before the gym is just as important. Hydration is non-negotiable! And for that little extra kick, I always go for natural caffeine sources. My preference is usually a cup of iced coffee or green tea. I’ve found that these provide a steady lift without the jitters or crash that I used to get from highly processed energy drinks like Celsius. Plus, coffee and green tea come with their own set of antioxidants, which is a bonus for overall health. I typically enjoy my coffee about 30-45 minutes before my workout to let the caffeine kick in right when I need it. But my 'before gym' routine isn't just about what I consume. There’s a crucial element that many overlook: sunlight. I've noticed a significant difference in my energy and mood when I make sure to get a few minutes of natural sunlight before heading to the gym. Even just stepping outside for 5-10 minutes helps to wake up my body, regulate my circadian rhythm, and generally puts me in a better headspace for exercise. It’s an incredible way to naturally boost your readiness and mental clarity. I also like to do a quick 5-minute dynamic warm-up at home, just to get my muscles loose and ready for action. It’s amazing how these small steps can collectively transform your workout experience and help you feel truly amazing.
