Fit Tip of The Day: Post-Workout Snack/Meal

Are you forgetting something?

Be sure to consume both protein and carbohydrates within 30-45 minutes post-workout.  The protein helps repair muscle, while carbohydrates shuttle the protein quickly to the muscle cells.

Lower Back Health

Most adults work and sit more than 4 hours a day in front of their computer causing tight hip flexors, hamstrings and inactive glutes which increases poor posture and lower back pain and tightness.  Now in the age of video games, even kids experience poor posture, tight backs and hamstrings. Your body works as a kinetic chain.  Tight hips and hamstrings will end up pulling your back, weak inactive glutes will not help stabilize your hips and back muscles. 

Try these exercise for 15 minutes a day to improve your lower back health.
