Meal Ideas and Looking Ahead

(2 recipes included)

One of the best things you can do for your fitness is to sit down and take a minute to plan out your week. What times and days will I workout? What and when will I eat? If you take the 5-10 mins to answer these questions once or twice a week, it will really will help you stick on top of your fitness. Write down your plan and then do your best to stay to it. If you don't hit it a 100% that is ok, don't beat your self, just do your best and keep after it!

Radius will soon be offering Nutrtion and Accountability classes that will go over meal planning, tracking results, calorie and macronutrient amounts. Check our schedule if you are interested in this class or you can always call or text us.
