| Start Your Day with a Cup of Coffee Caffeine during pre-workout sessions will stimulate your central nervous system, thus making you more likely to push harder at the gym or boot camps. Drinking coffee one hour before sweating allows the stimulant to take effect, so it can give you a little extra energy. Make your coffee taste great by using one of these coffee makers. |  |
Start Your Workout with Dynamic Stretches
Dynamic stretches are essential to any workout session. They warm up your muscles and raise your body’s temperature, preparing you for the activity ahead. The right outfit can create a lot of impact on your stretches. The Xersion women’s high-rise leggings have supportive, moisture-wicking stretch fabric with quick-dry technology and compression fit and are ideal for low or high-impact workouts. Men can wear the Xersion men’s mid-rise moisture-wicking workout pants made from a soft cotton jersey with quick-dry properties. Wear it with your tees or tank, and you’ll be ready for a long, hard workout.

| Lift Weights Strength training builds muscle and increases your metabolic rate, so lifting weights, and using free weights or machines can help you lose fat and build muscle. For those who are new to strength training, running can be a good place to start. Athletic shoes not only help you run faster, but they can also make it easier for you to reach a full range of motion during weightlifting. For example, the Adidas Duramo men’s running shoes are both stylish and athletic, making them a great pick for an active lifestyle. |  |
 | Stay Hydrated Hydration is the key to a great workout. If you’re not drinking enough water, or even replacing the fluids you lose during exercise with water, you’ll end up feeling tired and sluggish. So, go ahead and grab one of these water bottles before hitting the gym. |
Minimize Your Rest Time Between Exercise
It is important to take a rest while working out. However, it is possible to get more productive from your workout by taking less rest. When you take minimal amounts of rest while working out, you are automatically increasing the intensity of your workout and keeping your heart rate elevated. It is a good idea to track your rest time with the help of the unisex adult black smartwatch that assists you in meeting your fitness goals. Smartwatches can count steps, calories burned, pulse rate, and even heart rate. Check our assortment of smartwatches here.
