“IF YOU CAN’T FLY, THEN RUN…”

 There’s more to a healthy lifestyle than hitting the gym—though we highly recommend that part. Good food, hard workouts, and strong mental health all build upon each other and help make each healthy choice easier than the last. A healthy life isn’t created by a single decision, it’s built by each choice you make.There’s more to a healthy lifestyle than hitting the gym—though we highly recommend that part. Good food, hard workouts, and strong mental health all build upon each other and help make each healthy choice easier than the last. A healthy life isn’t created by a single decision, it’s built by each choice you make. So, as your fitness community, we’re here to give you the information you need to make each healthy choice and create the lifestyle you deserve.To make an effective workout, you need to think beyond how many sets or how far to run. The food you put in your body, especially immediately before or after a workout, can make all the difference. Before a run or intense workout, you want to have a snack high in carbs, like a banana, oats, or bread. These carbs will give your muscles the energy and endurance you need to go the distance! However, different goals might call for different pre-workout snacks. If you’re trying to build muscle, a pre-workout protein burst from something like egg whites, grilled chicken, or a simple protein shake itself can help repair and build your muscles while you exercise.

You don’t have to have a green thumb to turn your kitchen into a mini-garden. Some food scraps, like these green onions, can be regrown by simply placing them in a jar of water—they’ll do the rest! Celery, lettuce, cabbage, and herbs like mint, basil and cilantro can all be regrown by placing them in a cup or bowl of water with adequate sunlight, before transferring them into soil once they have grown strong enough. If you’re channeling your inner gardener and want to step it up a notch, try burying your onion and potato scraps in soil. These projects will take closer to a couple of months, but once you get to the other side, the world of in-home gardening will be your oyster.
