Pre-Workout Coffee and Full Body HIIT Workout with NOW®

Love morning workouts, but don’t want to work out on an empty stomach? Try this pre-workout coffee recipe, followed by this travel-friendly full body HIIT workout!

For those with a busy schedule, morning workouts are where it’s AT. I’m a huge fan of getting my workout in first thing in the morning, so it’s done before life gets in the way later in the day. But the tricky part about working out first thing in the morning can be trying to figure out how to fuel up without feeling too full since there isn’t much time to digest a pre-workout meal. That is why I’m a huge fan of having coffee with an added boost before my workouts.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my morning frothy coffee pours on my stories. I’m always getting questions about what I put in my coffee before my workouts, so today I’m partnering with NOW® to show you how to make my pre-workout coffee, AND we put together a full-body HIIT workout you can do anywhere too!

I’ve been a big fan of NOW products since as long as I could remember. My dad is also a health nut, and has shared NOW’s supplements with me since I was little. I love that NOW is a family-owned business that tests every product and ingredient for quality, potency, and purity to ensure that what’s on the label is in the bottle. 

PRE-WORKOUT COFFEE

The frothy, creamy coffee I am often seen pouring on my Instagram story is so easy to make. All you’ll need is:

1 Cup of Brewed Coffee

1 Tablespoon NOW Real Food® Organic Hemp Seed Hearts, which are a naturally occurring source of iron, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and make the coffee creamy and frothy.

1 Tablespoon NOW® Sports Chocolate Mocha MCT Oil, a quick-digesting energy source, and adds a chocolatey, mocha flavor to the coffee (although I also like using the plain MCT oil as well).

FULL BODY HIIT WORKOUT

After I finish my coffee in the morning, I’ll usually get in my morning workout before starting my day. This summer I have been loving short, high-intensity workouts that can be done anywhere, and this workout is just that. All you’ll need is a mini-band and about 20 minutes to work up a sweat.

Check out the video below to see how to make pre-workout coffee, and to get the full-body HIIT workout!

For the workout, set a timer for 45 seconds of work, and 15 seconds of rest, and repeat the following moves four times through.

Move 1: Mini Band Shuffle and Squat Jump

Move 2: Mini Band Deadlift to Row

Move 3: Plank Walkout with Hop

Move 4: Side Plank Leg Lift (Perform 45 Seconds on Each Side)
