Question

What are two workout habits you want to change?

Answer 1

Answer: The workout habits I would want to change would be working out for long periods of time at a moderate pace. When it comes to working out, slow and steady does NOT win the race. Instead of working out for an hour at an easy-to-moderate intensity level, I would like to step it up a notch. Another habit I would like to change would be hydrating with sports drinks. Sports drinks may give me a boost, but are also full of sugar and calories. During any given daily workout, hydrating with water should do the trick just fine.

Answer 2

Hydrating with sports drinks. Sports drinks may give you a boost, but are full of sugar and calories. During any given daily workout, hydrating with plain ol’ water should do the trick just fine. If you feel tired during your workout, try fueling before. Eating a healthy snack 45 minutes before your workout can give you more energy, and allow you to skip the Gatorade. Try some almond butter on toast.

Doing the same exercises over and over again. When you do the same workout routine over and over, your body gets used to it and it becomes easier. The Stairmaster might have been challenging at one point, but pretty soon your muscles become familiar with that motion. Your body only uses half the energy to complete this task that at one point had you huffing and puffing your way to the locker room. Mix it up. By changing your workouts daily you will trick your body into working harder and burning more calories. It will also save you from boredom!
