“I eat many small portions throughout the day, like a slice of sprouted-grain bread with sliced avocado beforehand. This option gives me great energy, and I’m not too weighed down.” – Kym Herjavec, Founder of The Bod Studio

“I love to have hydration included in my pre-workout fuel. My go-to is a glass full of coconut water with two scoops of Chocolate Protein. It’s light on my stomach and gets me through a 60-minute workout.” – Heather Peterson, chief yoga officer at CorePower Yoga

“I recommend eating a well-balanced meal 2–3 hours before your workout. This gives food adequate digestion time. My workouts usually take place in the morning, so my meal – like an omelette – always includes protein to help with muscle recovery.” – Adam Sanford, founder of Adam Sanford Fitness

“When your job involves getting super active and sweaty on a regular basis, you have to prepare the body properly. My go-to involves a green smoothie with spinach, kale, banana, mango, almond milk, and protein powder.” – Lauren Porat, founder of YogaSpark

“Pre-workout, oatmeal is packed with not only healthy carbs and fiber to keep you going for hours, but also contains a high amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids for overall health.” – Tamara Stojkov, fitness ambassador for Orsden

“Pre-workout: organic rice cakes unslated butter with a cup of hot tea with wild honey. This is a perfect all-natural boost for me right before a workout, plus it replaces coffee.” – Lauren Schwab, trainer at F45 Training

“At least an hour prior to working out, I have grilled or seared white fish with a leafy salad and beans. This meal is packed with protein and essential nutrients to sustain energy throughout my two-hour training session.” – Anthony Fontana, martial arts expert

“Before t=working out, it’s ideal to get some carbs in your system. I prefer something more substantial – eggs are my favorite, but sometimes, I’ll jazz it up with a bacon, egg, goat cheese, avocado sandwich.” – Bree Branker, master instructor at IMAXShift
