Hi Quaranturnt Friends, Continuing the growth push, please share with any friends who might be interested in this! As usual for Fridays, today we’ve got an active recovery day. I’ll be talking more about recovery in a few days, but if you missed my case for yoga in particular, check out my discussion on how yoga helps injury prevention, self-diagnostics, and kinesthetic sense on Day 20 (intro) and Day 21 (in depth). Today for the rambles, we’ve got one last day from Max. I’ll take back over tomorrow. Diet: Aesthetics vs Health Diet coke may not have calories, but will it affect how you look? There is a connection between health and performance, and performance is critical for getting the most out of exercise (read: building muscle and dropping fat). Keep in mind what your goals are…if you have performance-related goals, you may need to think about more than calories. If you do not have performance-related goals, thinking purely in terms of caloric intake vs expenditure will indeed make you shredded lean (Mark’s note: Just wait until we talk about the “If It Fits Your Macros” craze). To get further into shredtown, you might want to try TKO, CKO, 80% carb, and no fat, or a tried and true balanced diet with no processed foods. Personally, I try to eat a little bit of everything and focus more on my workouts than my diet. While eating “everything” (in terms of macronutrients), I try to avoid eating things that are bad in terms of how processed they are…ok, well I still have froyo from time to time, but I’d rather make my own scrape scrape of frozen mangos and yogurt (credit to Mark for both cooking the scrape scrape and coining the term); whole foods trump chemicals in my book. I even prefer milk vs protein powder…and yeah I know dairy is inflammatory, the casein protein leaches calcium, and the cows are pumped with hormones, but I’d still contend it’s better than a quest bar (and I love Quest bars). Before I leave you with the active recovery workout, I will just second what Max said: That man freaking LOVES Quest bars. I’ve seen him eat 2000 cal in purely Quest bars while we’re just chilling with Netflix. Linked Yoga Flow
