Nutrition Tip – The Skinny on Starving Yourself
It is critical to eat SMART not LESS. Eat healthier snacks throughout the day instead of depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to function properly.

Training Tip – Heat Things Up, Cool Things Down
Always perform a proper warm-up and cool down routine. Warming-up increases blood flow to muscles and reduces post exercise stiffness and soreness, while decreasing the risk of injury. A proper warm-up should last 10-15 minutes and look like this:

3-5 Minutes of light to moderate exercise – brisk walking, light jogging or skipping
5–10 Stretching head to toe – hold each stretch for 15 seconds no bouncing.

Note: It is a good idea to stretch the muscle being used between sets of each exercise
