Before I get to the gym announcement, this week’s tips:

Nutrition Tip:  Don’t let “low fat” fool you.  Foods like peanut butter and some dairy products have the fat removed (often healthy fats the body needs) and puts in fillers that are MUCH worse for you.  Low fat doesn’t always equal better for you.

Muscle Recovery Tip:  We have three new myofascial release tools at the gym – a trigger point wheel, trigger point roller, and a rumble roller.  If you knots or have a flexibility issue, come try these out! 

Now onto the annoucement…
