Instead of reaching for that second coffee after lunch… stimulate your senses with some sparkling water + a splash of pineapple juice. Extra caffeine will leave you feeling sluggish later on, while the water will make you feel refreshed.

If you’d like to make bench pressing more challenging, try putting your feet up on bench or raising them.

Does your job order takeout everyday?! Swapping a side salad instead of fries can leave you unfilled. I usually
ask for a side of carrots & chickpeas or tomatoes and mozarella drizzled with balsamic and fresh basil (most places,
