Health Tips: Issue 3

Posted by Cameron Stuerle on Oct 20, 2011 in Sports | 0 comments

Health Tip:

Always combine protein with carbohydrates.  The marriage of protein and carbohydrates is the key to maintaining stable blood sugar level as it prevents levels from rising quickly, making you feel full longer; and stopping your body from craving the need for food. Combining proteins and carbohydrates are also good for stored energy.  This will keep you awake throughout your day without experiencing that crash.

Work Out:

Rotate through the five exercises three times a week, and complete 100 reps of each exercise. Time yourself each week and try to beat your previous time. Good luck!
