So if everyone is like me, your upper body is even more sore today, and your lower body and abs are absolutely wrecked. If has been 3 tough days of workouts. Today is a well deserved rest day.  Suggestions for today would include taking a nearby yoga course, going for a soak in hot tub, and taking a relaxing walk in a park. 

The most important part of today however, is to fuel your body with much needed nutrition so that we can get back into the gym hard tomorrow. You should be focusing on eating lean proteins and complex carbs. basic food Suggestions for today include:

 - Chicken
 - Salmon
 - Turkey
 - Whole grain rice
 - Oatmeal
 - Beans and Lentils
 - Broccoli and Spinach 
 - Milk

Some things to keep in mind:

 - Broccoli has some of the highest levels of protein of any vegetable, and Spinach is great for Iron
 - Load up on Vitamin D, Fish Oil and Iron as each play an integral part is muscle recovery
 - Don't be afraid to pack in the healthy foods listed above, our bodies will need it for the workouts ahead
