✅Post any lingering questions about Cortisol + Strength Month below!

As you’re aware, tomorrow we’re embarking on our Cortisol + Strength theme, but before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s focus on what’s happening today.

Today is a rest & recovery day, and what you’re going to learn this month is that rest & recovery days are non-negotiable when it comes to healthy cortisol. 💯

If you’ve found a love for exercise, you may have found it surprising when rest & recovery days feel hard; however, like I said—rest and recovery are non-negotiable—for both building muscle and cortisol health. If you struggle with knowing whether or not you need an extra rest day, check out the article I’ve attached below. ⬇️

Why Rest Days Are Important for Your Workouts—and How to Know When to Take One | SELF

⭐️Today’s Challenge: With the extra 30-minutes you have today (that you’d normally spend working out), try preparing for the week ahead. Spend half an hour mentally preparing yourself (journaling, breathwork, etc..) or physically preparing (meal prep, setting out workout clothes, etc.). It’ll be well worth your time!

Happy Day One! I am honored you’re here, and I am looking forward to helping you learn the best and most effective way to reach your health and wellness goals!

I simply want you to focus on these three things for the remainder of the week—whole foods, water, and workouts! We’ll dive in deeper in the days to come, but for now, utilize the tips below to get you started on our three W’s ⬇️:

🍽 WHOLE FOOD NUTRITION: I’ll explain this more in the coming days, but for today, think about it this way ➡️ If it came from the ground or had a mother, it’s fair game. Think about what you’ll find on the perimeter (outer ring) of the grocery store (protein sources like chicken, beef, fish, and fruits & vegetables). Try to reduce the amount of processed and prepackaged foods found in the inner aisles of the grocery store. Check out our app resources to learn more!

💦 WATER: Try to drink at least half of your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, your goal will be to drink at least 75 oz of water each day.

🏋️‍♀️ WORKOUTS: Our workouts are one of our main pillars, and participating in our weekly workouts will amplify your results over the next few weeks! More to come on our strategic workouts - always see comments of posts for these workouts.
