Nutrition of the Week:
What does it mean to be fully fueled? In terms of macro counting-this means that we are eating at MAINTENANCE levels or higher. If you are tracking your weight in some way (scale, measurements, photos, fav pants) it should be stable, you may see changes in body composition, but overall we are looking for stability. So how do you know if you are fueled?

                -How do you feel pre and post workout?

                -How is your recovery from workouts? Are you super sore, or feeling ready to train?

                -How are your energy levels throughout the day?

                -How is your mood?

                -How is your sleep?

This week, pay attention to your biofeedback by asking yourself these questions and then make adjustments as needed.

Box Brief:
On October 1, 2017 a terrorist opened fire, from the Mandalay Bay, on civilians attending the Route 91 Festival here in Las Vegas, NV. This workout is in honor of those attending the concert, all the first responders and other heroes that saved so many lives, and the way our whole city banded together in support that night.
