Fitness isn’t everything, but everything is harder if you aren’t fit. And remember that some days fitness isn’t training, it’s resting, it’s relaxing, it’s rejuvenating. Some days the work is internal and not external. And don’t let that make you feel ashamed or frustrated, a healthy and sustainable.
Fitness regimen is not a merry go round. It is a seesaw. So, when you’re feeling out of sorts because of poor sleep, nutrition, or some other reason best known to Lord Cthulhu, sometimes it’s better to do a different, maybe an easier workout, or just take the day off rather than gut it out. Similarly, sometimes you should say no to the ice cream and feel proud, and sometimes you should say yes and feel satisfied.
There are no universal dietary rights or wrongs. There are only circumstances and compatibilities. So your judgment is. counts. Reject dogmas too, because fitness advice, it should be viewed in the same way as suggestions about where to buy groceries or what types of shoes to wear. Even the best pointers have a healthy dose of opinion and preference.
So don’t forget to weigh your own intuitions and inclinations as well. One of the easiest ways to increase muscle and strength gain is to eat enough protein and to eat enough high quality protein. Protein. Now you can do that with food. Of course, you can get all of the protein you need from food, but many people supplement with whey protein because it is convenient and it’s tasty and that makes it easier to just eat enough protein.
And it’s also rich in essential amino acids. which are crucial for muscle building and it’s digested well, it’s absorbed well. And that’s why I created whey plus, which is a 100 percent natural grass fed whey isolate protein powder made with milk from small sustainable dairy farms in Ireland. Also, now is a great time to try Whey Plus because we just released a new flavor, which is Honey Cereal, and you can find that over at buylegion.

Now, whey protein isolate is the highest quality whey you can buy, and that’s why every serving of Whey Plus contains 22 grams of protein with little or no carbohydrate or fat. Whey Plus is also lactose free, so that means no indigestion, no stomach aches, no gassiness.
And it’s also 100 percent naturally sweetened and flavored. And it contains no artificial food dyes or other chemical junk. And why Irish dairies? Well, research shows that they produce some of the healthiest, cleanest milk in the world. And we work with farms that are certified by Ireland’s Sustainable Dairy Assurance.
scheme, SDSAS, which ensures that the farmers adhere to best practices in animal welfare, sustainability, product quality, traceability, and soil and grass management.
