3 Simple Things You Can Do That Can Take Your Workout To The Next Level

>You most probably know that workout routines like HIIT are short because they’re tough, right?

sleep-and-exerciseTrick yourself into Zs. We’ve all been there: The harder you try to fall asleep, the harder it becomes to actually fall asleep. Researchers studied this. They found that intentionally trying to stay awake can help you pass out more quickly. So when insomnia strikes, force your eyes to stay open instead of gluing them shut.

hydration-after-exerciseCount beyond water.
