Rest Up to Build Up!

You’ve got a lot on your plate these days. While we all are busy with work, family, and personal responsibilities, it is still an absolute necessity to lie down at night and get at least seven hours of sleep. Sleep is NOT something that can be neglected, especially when you’re trying to get into shape and shed pounds. Depriving your body of sleep will actually aid in weight gain and could put you at greater risk for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke, and depression. In addition to the plethora of negatives that come with sleep deprivation, if you don’t rest properly, you won’t have enough energy to exercise to your maximum potential. Simply put, get your rest! Try keeping a consistent sleep pattern, and you will feel much better for it!
