I love to eat, and nothing comes in the way of enjoying a good meal or a scoop of ice-cream but this post is what one should eat before and after a workout.  The gym I belong to is called Sweat Fitness and I love it! There is something for everyone, including a pool, a track and various kickboxing bags.  
Eating Before a workout
  • carbohydrates (simple and complex)
  1. They break down to provide a slow release of energy
  2. Try whole grains, peanut butter, or bananas 
  3. Greek yogurt and trail mix
  4. Smoothies (making your own is better, unless you know exactly what your drinking)
  5. Oatmeal and fruit keeps you full and hydrated

Eating After a workout:
  • Protein and vegetables
  1. You need something nutritious to fill you up when in recovery mode
  2. omelette (eggs are great for muscle recovery)
  3. Salmon and sweet potatoes are great for reducing inflammation
  4. Surprisingly chocolate milk has enough carbs and protein to help you recover after a workout!
My gym routine:
1. Stretching or 10 minuites light cardio
2. Circuit training (max 30 mins) 
3. Free weights/machine weights
4. Light cardio
This would be a typical whole-body workout.  This seems to be showing great results and is working for me! 
Gym Motivation
  1. Pick a gym near your work so you can go right after or before work
  2. Workout with a friend (this is what I do)
  3. Have good music on hand
  4. Bring a book/magazine
  5. Have a gym jar and place a dollar in it every time you go to the gym and at the end of the month, buy something you want with it!
  6. Great Workout clothes!!
