Protein Power

A few months ago I started personal training at EPIC Fitness. I love it so much! Having a strength and conditioning program designed just for me is super motivating. Knowing that I have committed to two sessions per week with my trainer keeps me focused and on track. In just two months, I'm already feeling stronger and more flexible, and my posture is better than it's ever been. Adding more exercise to my weekly routine has also prompted me to take a closer look at my protein intake. Most of us associate protein with muscle building and recovery, but did you know that protein is an important player in our immune and nervous systems? Not to mention that adequate protein intake also supports blood sugar stability and weight management. Meghan Telpner just posted an excellent article (with recipes!) focused on protein powered breakfasts.
