A Great Start

Some of the afternoon boot camp class getting after it! Superman style! Great job to everyone yesterday!!

So I get up this morning, make me some breakfast, open up to computer to do my daily internet surfing, email checking, blogging, etc. When my dad walks in and says "read this," and there it was. On the front page of the Health & Fitness section of the Waco Trib, a picture of a male personal trainer at some globo gym drinking a HUGE (what looked like jar- gross) cup of milk..yep I said MILK!! Under the picture is said something to the effect that he drinks milk after every workout. It also says studies show milk is better to drink post-workout for recovery than a sports drink. One point I will agree with is that yes, milk probably is better to drink than a sports drink. And yes it does have the ideal carbs and protein for recovery. BUT in my own personal experience- I fell, perform, and recover better with no dairy in my diet. I also asked a couple other trainers out there and they agree. It only takes a few seconds to match that ideal amount of protein & carbs with real food, because in the long run, you'll be better off! So..there ya go...stick to the plan...cut the dairy...and see how you feel!
