Work Outs for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced!

Hey guys!

Here are some links to videos of workouts that I have tried and done myself that I really enjoy! For each level of workout you are trying to achieve I have a body weight workout, one will just weights only, and another with full gym access. I know it can be hard to start a workout when you are not too sure where to start, but hopefully some of these videos will challenge you enough to get a little sweat on, but also feel so good afterwards that you'll want more!

Tips before and after your workout:

Before

Carbs! Your muscles use the glucose from carbs for fuel. (i.e, vegetables, whole fruits, legumes, nuts)
Protein! It increases your muscle protein synthesis and helps with muscle growth and recovery. I personally do a protein shake within an hour of my pre-workout works great as well! (i.e., milk, protein powder, bananas, almond butter)
Fats! Fats will help you sustain your energy over a longer workout that's less cardio-based. (i.e., apples and peanut butter, raisins, fruit smoothies)
Water, water, water!!!
If you are really feeling it, you can get pre-workout and mix it in water or dry scoop it. Pre-workout powder helps you sustain a high energy level throughout a tough workout. We all know those days where we just can't seem to get the motivation we need to get to the gym, pre-workout will definitely help with that energy level!

After

Again, protein! Protein helps our muscle proteins which the more protein the faster this process will go, so we can grow more muscle.
Carbs helps you build more muscle tissue, and helps with recovery as well.
Fats aren't bad either, a glass of muscle milk or chocolate milk after is great! I also like to make myself a protein shake filled with all my carbs, fats, and proteins I need! A chocolate, peanut butter and banana smoothie is the best in my opinion!
WATER, WATER, WATER, AND MORE WATER! Hydration is the most essential thing pre and post-workout!
