Breakfast A carbohydrate rich breakfast is ideal on mornings when you have worked out. This poha recipe incorporates potatoes and peanuts and is a great way to start your day. You can enjoy it with a cup of masala chai.

Snacks An apple for snack can certainly refresh you. The crunchy and juicy taste refreshes the mouth instantly. If you are carrying it along, carry a whole apple instead of chopped one. Here are 10 reasons why you must eat apples everyday.

Exercises
At home Since your home workout was covered in the morning, you can do some light stretching before you head to the gym or else if you wish to do specific exercises like abs or thigh toning exercises, you can practice those too. Here are some no equipment exercises that can tone your abs.
Yoga For improved balance and rejuvenated ligaments, practice Vrikshasana or tree pose regularly. Practising this pose also teaches you mind control and helps you develop a strong core. Perform it without any support preferably.
At the gym Only cardio or high endurance exercises aren t sufficient. Toning is important too as it will prevent your skin from sagging. For firmer thighs, belly and hips try these exercises.
Sleep well tipTurmeric milk not only heals but also relaxes the body. This makes you sleep better all night. Have a glass of hot turmeric milk before going to bed. It will ease your tiredness too.
