Workout tips: Hydrate yourself throughout the workout to boost stamina and energy levels

Workout tips: Your stamina can make or break your workout. If you have a good stamina, it can up your exercise performance and help you achieve quicker and better results. In one of latest Instagram Reels, nutritionist Pooja Makhija says that stamina is something you build and are not born with. Being physically active throughout the day, eating healthy foods and pushing your limits on a daily basis are a few ways that can help in boosting your stamina. Besides, there are other ways that can help in boosting your stamina before workouts.

According to Mumbai-based Makhija, eating a good pre-workout snack can help in boosting your stamina and making you feel more energetic through the workout. You can have a fresh and seasonal fruit like a banana or orange. A handful of nuts along with one date also makes for a great pre-workout snacking option.

Nut butter on toast or a cup of yogurt with chia seeds and flaxseeds is another great pre-workout snacks, as per the nutritionist.
