A good workout extends way beyond the weight room, and it&#8217;s actually what you eat <em>before<\/em> and <em>after<\/em> a sweat sesh that makes for an effective\u00a0fitness routine.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky for you, we chatted with celeb fitness trainer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chasenfitness\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chase Weber<\/a> (who&#8217;s trained everyone from Nia Long to Carly Chaikin) to get the lowdown on how to\u00a0have an amazing workout sesh\u00a0with the proper diet. Get ready to be the fittest\u00a0you&#8217;ve ever been!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Pre-Workout<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMake sure to properly nourish yourself before a workout. Weber notes that consuming the\u00a0snacks below &#8220;will help keep your energy high and ensure that you have a strong finish every time you work out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Banana<\/strong> to increase your energy level, prevent cramps, and aid in muscle function<\/li>\n<li><strong>Packet of honey<\/strong> to boost your energy levels, and help sustain them during workout<\/li>\n<li><strong>Power\u00a0bar<\/strong> (like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cavemanfoods.com\/products\/dark-chocolate-almond-coconut\" target=\"_blank\">Caveman Bar<\/a>) to help increase energy levels without feeling too full and to provide enough nutrition for endurance workouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Workouts to Try With Resistance Band<\/strong><\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(<em>by Weber<\/em>)<br \/>\nFor beginners, take a\u00a0resistance band and place both feet in. Position the band just above your knee. For a more\u00a0advanced workout, take two resistance bands. Place one band around the ankles and one band just above your knee.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Miniband Workout:\u00a0<\/b>Stand with your feet shoulder width apart in a half squat position and engage your core. Keep your position and rotate your right knee outward 15 times, then repeat the same movement on the left side 15 times.\u00a0When both sides are done, press both knees outward at the same time for 15 times. Repeat three times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lateral Walks:\u00a0<\/strong>Stand with your feet shoulder width apart in a half squat position. Walk laterally but maintain your shoulder width stance. Take\u00a010 steps to the left and then 10 steps to the right. Repeat three times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Squat In, Squat Out:\u00a0<\/strong>Stand\u00a0with your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and perform a squat. Stand up, then bring your feet together to perform a more narrow squat. Do 20 squats\u00a0(note: an in squat, and an out squat equals 1 full squat). Repeat this three times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Post Workout<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAfter\u00a0a killer workout sesh, it&#8217;s time to replenish your body with the right foods. Weber recommends the below snacks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken jerky<\/strong> (like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cavemanfoods.com\/collections\/all\/chicken-jerky\" target=\"_blank\">Caveman Chicken Jerky<\/a>) to promote the growth and development of lean muscle<\/li>\n<li><b>Cottage cheese <\/b>to replenish your body&#8217;s calcium<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grapefruit juice<\/strong> to keep your energy levels up, boost your immune system, and replenish the electrolytes your body loses from sweating<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granola bar<\/strong> to keep\u00a0energy level up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"Ladies, it's time to get real.
