Go for quality, not quantity. The best workouts are the ones that leave you pleasantly sweaty, feeling like you pushed ...
Before working out, it's best to stick with foods that are easily digestible such as fruits or toast with nut butter. Afterward, focus on replenishing glycogen stores—the energy source used during exercise—by consuming complex carbohydrates combined with protein (think lean meats or dairy). This will help restore energy and rebuild muscle tissue that was broken down during the workout.

This comes down to your goals, lifestyle and current fitness level. For those who are new or returning to exercise, aiming for two to three workouts each week is a great place to start to build your fitness while giving your body time to recover. Once that’s feeling easier, you can add more workouts to your weekly schedule! When your fitness increases, you might be doing between four and six workouts each week.
In addition to your workouts, adding in gentle movement like walking, cycling or yoga can help to build your fitness and stay active throughout the week.
If you’re new to regular exercise, it’s common to wake up feeling sore. If you hear people talking about DOMS, this is what they are referring to - delayed onset muscle soreness.
This soreness is a result of the micro-tears to your muscle fibres which happen when you do a difficult workout or use different muscles. It’s important to know you don’t need sore muscles to know you challenged yourself - you can also see your progress by tracking your reps, weight load or the number of reps within a timeframe.
If you’re feeling sore, take an active recovery day with some yoga or low-intensity cardio such as walking or cycling, and reduce the intensity of your workouts to allow your body to fully recover.
We know how good it can feel to just lie on the couch, but some active recovery can really help to get the blood flowing to your muscles and reduce stiffness!
To support your recovery even more, focus on drinking plenty of water each day to rehydrate, and eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables to replenish your vitamins and minerals.
When you start a fitness routine, you want to see results. Whether you’re looking to feel more confident, improve your strength, or simply feel healthier, it can help to know if you’re making progress.
Think about what your unique goals are and how those would be best measured. If you’re wanting to build strength with progressive overload, you could use the Sweat app to keep track of the weights you’re lifting. If you’re wanting to feel more confident and healthy, you could use a journal to record how you’re feeling. If you’re wanting to build endurance, you could complete regular fitness challenges and track your progress.
