FRIDAY'S WORKOUT:
This Brew's For You:
In addition to its antioxidant-like compounds, coffee also provides a dense shot of caffeine, which may also help reduce body fat and boost athletic performance by helping to free-up a valuable energy source. Coffee also increases alertness and may improve joint health and pain reduction. Make the most of it by brewing yours in the morning and before your workouts, when you need energy the most. Can’t stand muddy water? Try a bottle of tea: that way, you get your caffeine fix and antioxidant compounds without the bitterness and heavy loads of sugar and cream.

Mind your Minerals:
…and vitamins. Don’t forget, micronutrients such as these are essential to good health and peak performance. What’s more, as an athletic individual, your needs are greater than most everyone else’s. It’s true, you’re probably also eating more, but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee you’re getting an adequate supply. Multivitamins and single-source antioxidants, however, offer a chance to help ensure you’re getting plenty of these highly valuable nutrients.
