I know for a fact that I can definitely tell a difference between an average regular workout, and one that is amazingly awesome.... But what is it exactly that makes those workouts awesome?!?! I think the key word here is preparation, preparation, preparation!!!!
Is there such thing as being overly prepared when it comes to working out? I don't think so.
One of the main contributors to being prepared is proper core nutrition - before AND after workouts. I know that I feel a hell of a lot better when I workout after a day of clean eating rather than after I eat junk like pizza and candy (two of the items I have consumed way too much of in the past week)!! Along with clean eating, I rely on my AdvoCare products to help me feel my best. Some of my favorites are Spark, Catalyst, & Rehydrate!
And maybe one of the most important aspects of an awesome workout is the music you are listening to. I love creating playlists on Spotify. Here is a list of some of my favorite songs on my playlist right now:
1 - David Guetta: Dangerous (theeee BEST workout song right now)
2 - Chase Rice: Ready Set Roll
3 - Kenny Chesney: American Kids
4 - Ariana Grande: Break Free
5 - Iggy Azalea: Black Widow
6 - Tiesto: Red Lights
7 - David Guetta: Bad
8 - Maroon 5: Animals
As you can see, everything I mentioned above has to do with preparing for your workout. If you aren't properly prepared for an awesome workout, it's not going to happen!
What do you think the key to an awesome workout is? Please share in the comments, I'd love to hear everyone else's opinions. =)

I completely agree!
ReplyDeleteNutrition is so vital if you want to have a great workout! I used to think, I just burned 300 calories, now I can eat this donut! Um, no wonder I couldn't get past a certain amount of miles of get through a complete workout!
Garbage in, garbage out ;-)
Definitely agree with preparation! I have to mentally prepare myself for some workouts.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with the preparation!! And the playlist - I think sometimes it can make or break a workout for me too!
ReplyDeleteI agree! You definitely need to be prepared and ready! Cool playlist too! I like a add a friend to my workout and that always makes it awesome!
ReplyDeleteAMEN. sometimes I underestimate preparation, or I wonder why my workout didn't go well, and typically it's because I needed more sleep. I am excited to check out some of the songs on your playlist! Great music makes me run so much faster! Thanks for linking up! @theFitSwitch. PS, I love your blog design.
ReplyDeleteNutrition is key to performance! You have to fuel your body. That sounds like it's a given but "maybe you need to eat more" is a mindset I struggled with at one time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up. Loving the #fitfam!
