2017 Spring/Summer Workouts, Week Fifteen, Day 4

Thursday workouts are also tough day workouts for our program. The recovery days provide you with a time for the body to recover. You also need to sleep, hydrate and eat well. With the workouts you do with us, proper nutrition is key. But get stuff from all food groups. All in moderation. Taco Bell is pretty good, once or twice a weeky, but not every day. I do not recommend carbonated sodas or sugery fruit juices. Water, tea, coffee (not the ones with all the junk in them), is pretty good.
