00:00 Odds are if Rage Against the Machine,

00:02 Meek Mill, Drake, and Beyonce are on the same playlist,

00:07 baby, it's gonna be a good workout.

00:10 It's gonna be a good workout.

00:11 Hey, what's up, y'all?

00:12 I am Tunday O'Yanane,

00:13 and today I'm taking you through how I gear up

00:15 and cool it down for my current workout routine.

00:19 This is Everything But the Sweat.

00:22 (upbeat music)

00:24 The first thing that I do every single morning

00:25 when I wake up is I sing a very obnoxious lullaby

00:29 to my dog, Caesar.

00:31 It allows him to know that it's a new day,

00:34 and for me, it just feels like a ritual.

00:37 The lullaby goes a little something like this.

00:41 Good morning, good morning, my baby.

00:44 It's morning, good morning, good morning.

00:47 It's a brand new day.

00:50 And then he puts his hands over his ears 'cause he hates it.

00:53 Once I've said my hellos to Caesar,

00:55 I start my day with two glasses of water,

00:58 water with lemon.

00:59 Warm, room temperature water is the trick.

01:02 Look, I'd love to say that I was an early riser,

01:04 like 'cause that's the right thing to say,

01:06 but I go to bed pretty late,

01:08 and I try to get in a solid seven to eight hours of sleep.

01:12 So I'd say like 6.30, 6.45

01:15 is usually when my internal compass wakes me up.

01:20 My workouts are kind of all over the place

01:23 just by nature of what I do.

01:26 Sometimes I'm teaching a Peloton class in the morning,

01:28 and then sometimes my classes fall in the evening.

01:31 There's not really any workout that I don't like doing.

01:34 I'm into strength training and Pilates and yoga.

01:38 Currently, right now, I'm a runner.

01:41 A year ago, I would have never said that.

01:43 Six months ago, running terrified me,

01:46 and every single day, I ask regular people

01:49 to push themselves outside of their comfort zone,

01:52 and for me, running is my opportunity to do just that,

01:55 and so now I'm a runner.

01:57 I like to think of my food as fuel,

02:00 like how do I need to rev up today's engine

02:04 in order to sustain or do whatever I have

02:07 lined up for my workout?

02:08 And so sourdough toast with almond butter,

02:12 sliced banana if I have some in the house,

02:15 and just like a drizzle of honey.

02:17 Tasty, delicious, I've got carbs, good fats,

02:20 and a little bit of sugar to keep me

02:22 sustained through my workout.

02:23 When it comes to my workout gear,

02:26 I have to feel cute in the outfit.

02:28 I know some of y'all know what I'm talking about.

02:30 Like, if the outfit matches, I stay in the workout longer,

02:34 and I feel like I get in a good workout,

02:36 and so I like to pick out my outfit the day before.

02:39 I'm either in Nike or Peloton 10 times out of 10,

02:42 and so it's gotta look cute, I gotta feel supported,

02:45 and it's gotta match, even in my own house.

02:49 Gotta look good.

02:49 I wear the Nike Flyknit 2s.

02:51 There's cushion, there's support, I got flat feet.

02:54 And then for lifting, I recommend flat shoes.

02:56 I use Metcons by Nike.

02:58 And specifically with my running shoes,

03:00 I like them to be bright.

03:01 I feel like if my shoes are bright, I run faster.

03:04 I'd say that the music that I listen to

03:06 during my personal workouts,

03:08 it's very similar to what I would program

03:10 in a Peloton class.

03:11 Like, I like for the music to tell a story,

03:14 a clear beginning, a middle, and an end.

03:18 I listen to everything from house to pop, hip hop,

03:23 and even rock when I'm working out.

03:27 Odds are, if Rage Against the Machine,

03:31 Meek Mill, Drake, and Beyonce are on the same playlist,

03:35 baby, it's gonna be a good workout.

03:38 It's gonna be a good workout.

03:39 I'd say that my philosophy around working out

03:42 is the most beautiful combination

03:45 comes somewhere between a challenge and fun.

03:49 I'm a big advocate of doing movement

03:54 that feels good for you in that day.

03:56 So the plan may be to lift,

03:58 but if lifting seems too daunting,

04:00 then maybe you just dance around the house.

04:02 In essence, it's just a matter of allowing your self-grace

04:06 and enjoying your ability to move.

04:09 I think that movement is one of the many ways

04:12 that the body shows its appreciation

04:14 and celebration for life.

04:16 Life shouldn't be that difficult.

04:18 Find things that make you smile

04:20 and that make you want to give your best.

04:22 Rest days, gotta have 'em, love it.

04:29 For me, a rest day doesn't mean a completely inactive day.

04:33 It just means I am giving back to my body day.

04:36 And so the recovery that you are willing to put in today,

04:41 it shows itself as strength tomorrow.

04:43 I can't expect to test my body

04:46 and push my body to the limits tomorrow

04:48 if I didn't properly fuel and recover today.

04:52 So it's like this continuum.

04:54 I am religiously in my compression boots

04:57 or using a massage gun or rolling out.

05:01 I will choose sleeping in

05:04 over pushing through a tired body.

05:07 It depends on what time of day it is

05:09 and what I have in store for the rest of the day,

05:12 but there's usually like a protein,

05:13 like a chicken involved,

05:15 maybe some quinoa and some vegetables.

05:18 If it's the morning,

05:19 maybe there's a little fruit added to the mix.

05:21 Definitely a protein shake.

05:24 I usually guzzle one down once I've completed my workout.

05:28 Greens, protein, and some type of carb, kinda fat.

05:33 Typically, I'm headed to some type of speaking engagement

05:38 or obligation or event or meeting.

05:41 So I usually am in workout gear or in stilettos, baby.

05:46 On a perfect day where I lounge around

05:49 and head back to my house,

05:51 then I'm usually probably in some type of cotton shorts

05:56 with a hoodie set of some sort.

05:59 If I'm trying to like zen out,

06:01 I'm like usually in this Afrobeat space.

06:05 If I'm trying to relax and think,

06:07 like draw in new ideas, then classical music.

06:09 So classical music to like think,

06:10 to completely not think and zen out,

06:13 Afrobeats or Chill House.

06:15 For it to be true relaxation,

06:18 I'm feeling zero guilt for the fact

06:21 that I'm laying there doing absolutely nothing.

06:25 That's relaxation.

06:27 And on a good day, time is moving very, very slow.

06:30 And I look up and I say, "What? It's only three o'clock."

06:33 And then I go get Thai food,

06:34 and then I come back and then I finally turn the TV on,

06:37 and maybe it's raining that day.

06:39 And I'm snuggled up with Caesar,

06:40 although I wish it was a man.

06:42 Michael B. Jordan!

06:44 Call me!

06:48 Also Jeremy Allen White is quite the attractive as well.

06:51 Yeah, ranges, look, musical choices are all over the place.

06:54 Tastin' Med, all over the place, you know.

06:57 Just don't judge a book by its cover.

06:59 For anyone who is just looking to get started,

07:03 just start one inch at a time, one day at a time.

07:08 I think that oftentimes we create

07:10 these really lofty, big goals.

07:14 Specifically with working out, people say,

07:15 "I'm gonna work out every single day.

07:16 "I'm gonna work out six days a week."

07:18 I often say to follow my 10-minute rule,

07:22 the 10-minute rule is you set an alarm,

07:24 you have a 10-minute playlist,

07:25 and you start moving for 10 minutes.

07:28 If you choose to work out beyond that, then awesome.

07:31 And if you don't, you don't.

07:32 And I think it's a really, really great place

07:34 for anyone to start, to start moving.
