The 40/20—My “go-to” workout on the days that I have little time and no creativity. I like to think of it as a muscle building variation of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) utilizing timed work and rest periods for maximum efficiency. The technique is super simple and can be applied to just about any exercise circuit.
This week’s featured food of the week is CARROTS! Carrots are a nutritional powerhouse packing over 400% Daily Value of vitamin A. They are also a great source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and many more essential nutrients. Carrots are an extremely versatile ingredient and can be used in a variety of different ways. We recommend buying full-sized organic carrots. If your local grocer carries the multi-colored carrots don’t be scared to pick some up. They can be used just like their orange cousins and provide you with some different nutrients from pigments not found in normal carrots.
