Key Tips for Achieving Optimal Results

  1. Consume a light meal prior to the workout to optimize your performance. You can take your pre-workout meal 30 minutes to 2 hours before the training, depending on the kind of food you consume. Examples include chicken salad, oatmeal, energy bars, and peanut butter with toast.
  2. Try to exercise when you feel the most active. It could be morning, afternoon, or evening.
  3. Keep yourself hydrated during the workout to prevent injuries and uneasiness and enhance performance.
  4. Never skip your post-workout meal, as it plays a crucial role in muscle building. You can take 40-50 grams of protein and one gram of carbs per kg of your body weight for optimal results (it is only an example, know your goal before deciding the quantity). Examples of post-workout meals: Protein shake and banana, grilled chicken with roasted vegetables and rice, and oatmeal with yogurt, almonds, and berries.
  5. Increase the load, the number of reps and sets, and the session duration as you progress further. Pushing your limit to a certain extent may help you build muscle faster.
