The last two days should have been your heaviest lifting yet. You are probably used to feeling a little sore by now, and have an arsenal of tricks to help you recover. One you may have been neglecting is hydration. We tend to drink more water on workout days, which is understandable when we are sweating. But on recovery days, hydration is just as important. Being dehydrated can actually slow muscle recovery. So make sure you are getting that water in today. Beachbody Performance Hydrate is also great—especially if plain water can get a little boring for some folks!
You’ve been doing LIIFT4 for 6 weeks with 2 more (and a few days) to go. Remember how excited you were to start? That’s the energy I want you to harness as we head toward a strong finish. Yes, you can still include a little cheat if you’re really craving something—but you may just be looking for a little variety. For new recipes or food ideas, check out the Beachbody On Demand Blog for some good, healthy eats. If you have 2B Mindset, check out her cookbook! I literally love every single meal I've made from it.
I know a lot of you have been doing really well—keep it up. It’s been amazing to see your results and be a part of this group. Keep sharing photos and words of encouragement!
