Do you break a sweat just thinking about your last workout? You are not alone! Difficult workouts can easily derail you from your normal fitness schedule. While running far away from the gym does technically count as exercise, we’ve got a few tips that will help you feel like Superman hours before you step foot in the gym.

Hydrate Before You Hit The Gym

If you plan on working out to the max, make sure your body has plenty of H20 to make it happen. Start sipping well before your workout and don’t stop until an hour or so after you’ve finished.

How much water should you drink? That all depends on your bodyweight. If you weigh 150 pounds, try to drink at least 75 ounces a day. The more water you drink, the better you’ll feel. Dehydration can seriously affect your performance in the gym, so don’t be shy –the water fountain is your friend.

Find Clarity and Focus

Going into the gym stressed out immediately puts you at a disadvantage. If you had a bad day, we recommend leaving it in the locker room. Clearing your mind and focusing on the task at hand will improve your workout and may actually help solve your problems afterwards. When you take a step back and look at your situation with a fresh set of eyes, you may just discover the solution to your troubles.

Make A Rockin’ Playlist

When was the last time you refreshed your workout playlist? Nothing gets you more pumped than going into a workout with fresh tunes. If you need some inspiration, there are sites dedicated to providing turbocharged tracks to help you crush your fitness goals.

Dress For Success

Believe it or not, what you wear to workout can make a difference in your performance. Get rid of old gym gear that chafes or is a tad too small or large. Replace those with a few high-quality outfits that provide support and feature covered seams to prevent chafing. Plus, sweat-wicking and breathable material helps you stay cool and dry. You’ll feel better and you might even get a few compliments on your new threads!

Don’t Forget To Warm Up

Fortunately there are no workout police to make sure you warm up. However, if you’re thinking about skipping it — don’t. Warming up gives your body an opportunity to raise your body temperature, increase range of motion, and mentally prepare you for what you’re about to do. Take 5 minutes to properly stretch and do some light cardio and you could reduce your risk of injury.
