If you’re going to stretch, there’s no point in half-arsing it. Make it a quality stretch, take the time to do it and you will reap the benefits for injury prevention, recovery, and mobility.
Quite frankly, you feel better when you aren’t bogged down by tight muscles everywhere.

The key is to purchase PLAIN yogurt and then add your own flavorings at home. This way, you can control the amount of sugar in your food and therefore improve the nutrient density.
1. Plain Greek Yogurt
2. Pomegranate Juice Powder
3. Almond butter or Peanut butter or coconut oil
4. Cherries — frozen or fresh
Delicious, high in antioxidants, and healthful!
Eating clean means consuming natural foods. There are so many flavors in natural foods that cannot be replicated by processed foods. Expand your horizons and enjoy the nutrient benefits of whole foods.

1. Cardiovascular exercises
2. Strength training exercises
You can combine strength training and cardiovascular training by doing interval training. Intervals include a period of high intensity followed by a short period of rest/recovery, then straight back into high intensity.
1. Treadmill: Put treadmill on 15% incline, then walk 3-3.5 miles per hour for 90 seconds. I promise your calves, legs, and butt will be feeling the burn. After 90 seconds, bring the treadmill back down to 0% incline, walk for 60 seconds, then repeat. ADVANCED: Do sprint intervals, at 10% incline and 10 miles per hour for 60 seconds.
Workouts can be fun!!
2. Dumbbell Squats: Find an area to do dummbell squats. Choose a weight that you can do 30 reps with. Now start the clock and don’t stop doing reps until 60 seconds are complete. Rest for 60 seconds, then do 60 seconds of squatting again.
You can burn some major calories and improve cardiovascular and muscular strength in 30 minutes or less.
Now go forth and exercise Gymgoers!!
