Dance. . . Go Home. . . Do it Again!
Today’s Post will be THE LAST OF THE SERIES. Ending it right with a fats food list! So that’s right – plug in your printer – print them out - well I mean only if you want to! Below are links to the food lists from the last month of Movement Wednesdays! dancehealthier hopes you have enjoyed this series!
Do you ever have days when you walk into the front door of your ballet/dance studio and say to yourself, “Wasn’t I just here?” Well dancehealthier is certain that our muscles – if they had a voice – would most likely scream this! “WeReN’T wE JusT HERE!”
One way – of the many ways – we can help our muscles recover faster, taper off excess amounts of lactic acid and prevent muscle fatigue is to eat healthy foods. Plus, these healthy foods will do much more than just help out our muscles. The benefits are endless. To name just a few: Physical strength, digestion, heart health, confidence, mental health, and “just feeling good.” Feel free to add to this list.
