Rest days are important!

When you’re working hard to reach your fitness goals, it’s easy to feel guilty about the days you don’t make it to the gym. However, your body needs time to rest and recover since exercise is a form of stress to your body. Recovery allows your body to adapt to the stress, replenish your energy and repair muscle tissue.

 

3 Reasons to Have Rest Days:
  1. Maximize the gains 
    Rest days allow your body to repair and strengthen your muscles. Overtraining is a real thing! Overtime, overtraining can weaken your muscles and lead to injury.
  2. Stay motivated 
    You want to create a lifestyle out of your fitness routine. Rest days are crucial to avoid burnout and still keep you looking forward to your training sessions.
  3. Reduce inflammation
    Ever feel sore or achy post-workout? That achy feeling is our body’s way of telling us to back off so it can heal the muscles and in turn, repair and strengthen them.

What's the difference between SIMPLE and COMPLEX c What's the difference between SIMPLE and COMPLEX carbs? 🤔⁣⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁣⁠⠀
Carbs are a major macronutrient and one of your body’s primary sources of energy. Some diets discourage eating them, but the key is finding the right carbs instead of avoiding them completely!⁣⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁣⁠⠀
3 components of carbs: fiber, starch, and sugar⁣⁣⁠⠀
Fiber & starch = complex carbs⁣⁣⁠⠀
Sugar = simple carb⁣⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁣⁠⠀
🍭Simple carbs = faster digesting⁣⁣⁠⠀
- found in: soda, cereals, packaged cookies, candy, fruit juice, etc.⁣⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁣⁠⠀
🍚Complex carbs = slower digesting⁣⁣⁠⠀
- found in: fruits/ veggies, beans, whole grains, whole wheat bread, corn, oats, rice, etc.⁣⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁣⁠⠀
TIPS⁣⁣⁠⠀
🍞Complex the carbs are more nutrient dense, but not all complex carbs are always healthier⁣⁣⁠⠀
🍞Opt for whole foods! (ie: whole fruit over fruit juice)⁣⁣⁠⠀
🍞If you want more lasting energy, aim for complex carbs since they take longer to digest
Do you eat breakfast or fast? 👇We wanna know!⁣⁠⠀
