Forgetting to Fuel Yourself Before and After
Forgetting to Fuel Yourself Before and After "Another common fitness mistake is not fueling and hydrating properly before a class or workout. Remember, exercise at the end of the day is added stress to your body. You have to take care of your body if you're going to put extra onto it," Pate says. "It's easy to forget to drink water throughout a normal day let alone a day you are going to exert yourself. Stay hydrated not only in the summer, but in the winter as well, and remember to replenish your body after you have worked out."

Keep in mind that what you put into your body also affects your strength and stamina during a workout. You're much more likely to kick butt having eaten a colorful, nutrient-rich, protein-laden meal versus a donut.
