Monday Motivation: Healthy Lunch and Weight Training

Monday kicks off the work week and we are getting you ready with a lil Kung Pao Shrimp and weight lifting. Healthy eating is essential to looking and feeling your best. No one wants to hear this but you can not out work a bad diet. With that being said we also do not want to eat food that does not taste good. Below you will find the ingredients to this easy quick recipe.
ingredients
3/4 lbs shrimp
1/2 cup zucchini (cubed)
1/3 cup red bell peppers (sliced)
1/3 cup canned water chestnuts
1/3 cup peanuts

Benefits of weight training
Improved fat loss
when lifting weights you build lean muscle, the more muscle your body has the quicker your metabolism will work. Weight training boosts metabolism.
Enhance your mood and reduce stress
Exercise releases endorphins which alters mood and fights depression.
Gain Strength
Gain Strength without bulking
Misconception: Weight training will make me look too muscular. Unlike men women typically don’t see increases to their size from strength training due to levels of testosterone women have compared to men. This helps women tone without bulk.
