What's your pre and post workout routine like? Just curious as to what everyone else is doing! Here's mine:
Pre-workout: I usually stretch and sometimes do a little yoga while listening to relaxing music.
Post-workout: As soon as I'm done working out I make sure to hydrate and eat plenty of protein while also relaxing with my feet up and watching a show on Netflix

    Pre: Light weight movement for whatever exercise I'm doing that day.
    Post: Whatever I gotta do once I'm done. Could be shopping, could be doing yard duty at my DD's school, could be lunch.

    Being that I'm currently unemployed (unfortunately..) I guess I have more time on my hands than I realized! D:

    Preworkout-Dynamic stretches that help prepare me for the lifts I'll be doing for the day. Then I start warming up with light weights, usually a set of 10, 5, 3, then some singles until I hit my working set. I usually have a snack like a protein bar or a rice krispie treat before hand and I take a pre-workout supplement.
    Post-Workout-Some kind of self myofascial release stuff with a foam roller, tennis ball, kettlebell (I have a sleeve with the little nodules that slips over it). Pretty much no static stretching. Then I go home and eat dinner.

    My trainer has set me on a schedule of cardio for 30 min prior strength exercising, 4 sets of 12- 3 days a week.
    Cardio with 3 days a week circuit workout 30 min.
    Prior to working out he said eat/drink protein and after eat/drink protein again.
    My scheduled time to work out is between 2-7am.
    Exercising wakes me up....

    Pre- drink water, walk 1.5km on the way to the rec centre, pee, row 10min.

    Lift.

    Post- stagger .5km, try lifting glass of water to mouth without spilling, collapse sweatily in chair, get the sweat licked by cat.

    Cheers, h.
