IN THIS LESSON

🌙 If You Work Out in the Afternoon/Evening

Evenings are your recalibration time.
You may not be cycling physically, but your energy still wanes with the day.
Movement here becomes about release — softening, stretching, and resetting.

Your Evening Focus:

  • Swap stimulation for stillness.

  • Choose yoga, walking, stretching, or breathwork.

  • Reflect on your energy: Where did I give too much? Where can I receive more?

  • Create a calming bedtime ritual.

💬 Evening movement teaches the body that peace is productive.

💧 Hydration Tip

Hydration supports hormonal balance, sleep, and detox.

  • Sip herbal teas like chamomile, lavender, or hibiscus.

  • Add electrolytes if you sweat during movement.

  • Reduce liquid intake 1–2 hours before bed.

BEFORE YOUR WORKOUT

Pre-workout meal (within 15-60 min. See Rules of Thumb)

Focus: Light fuel for steady energy.

Examples:

  • Smoothie (banana, almond milk, protein)

  • Boiled egg + avocado

  • Rice cake + almond butter

  • Lentil soup + olive oil

  • Yogurt + honey + chia seeds

  • Cottage cheese + fruit

  • Sweet potato cubes + tahini

  • Herbal tea + handful of nuts

  • Miso broth with tofu

  • Oatmeal + berries

    💬 Fuel for flow, not force.

AFTER YOUR WORKOUT
