Looking to Lean Out? Sleep More!

If you already have a healthy diet and workout smart (we know you do!) but aren't leaning out like you hoped, try sleeping more!

A recent study came out following two groups of people on a restricted calorie diet for 14 days.  One group slept for 8.5 hours a night, the other for 5.5 hours a night.  The group that slept more lost more fat and retained more muscle!

Get some rest, you've earned it.

See the full published paper here: Insufficient Sleep Undermines Dietary Efforts to Reduce Adiposity. [Annals of Internal Medicine]

Do you feel like your range of motion for going overhead has improved? What about the bottom of the squat or the setup for the deadlift? What about pre/post run?

Use the mobility we've been teaching you! http://mobilitywod.blogspot.com/

You can do this anytime throughout the day... as many times as you like!

THERE ARE NO REST DAYS!
