You might be getting 8 hours of sleep a night, but you don’t feel well rested or refreshed. Why? While the quantity of sleep is important, with most adults needing between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night, the quality of that sleep is equally important to feeling good. There are typically 4 factors that get looked at when assessing someone’s sleep quality: sleep latency, sleep waking, wakefulness, sleep efficiency.

We are excited to announce our April Client of the Month: Suzan Bibisi! Suzan was one of Fitness Together’s first clients, and she has been such a pleasure to work with over the past two years. She has been incredibly dedicated, and this has led to increases in her overall strength, and a decrease in her body fat percentage. Suzan’s sessions are often filled with lots of laughs and she is truly a joy to train whether in person or virtually.

If weight loss is one of your goals right now, then eating in a caloric deficit is going to help you achieve that goal. This just means that you are eating fewer calories each day than your body is consuming, so the result is your body will burn its fat stores in order to keep its normal body processes functioning. If you maintain a steady deficit for a period of time, like 12 weeks, you will lose weight because you used fat stores for energy instead of just using food.

Mashed Chickpea Bruschetta is a great snack or light lunch, packed with healthy fats from the olives, fiber and protein from the chickpeas, and plenty of vitamins and minerals in the tomatoes and leafy greens.

You know that you’re working hard when you’re training. Whether you lift weights, play sports, take group classes, or participate in another form of exercise, it’s important to give your all.

But you may be surprised to learn—how you recover matters just as much as how you work out, and it’s important that you optimize your rest so that your muscles can come back strong the next time you’re ready to exercise.

Tracking either your calories or your macros is a great way to gain more information about your nutrition, and whether the amount of food you are eating is appropriate for your goals. The best way to track is to get an easy to use app on your phone. Some of the highest rated in the Google App Store are MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, MyPlate Calorie Counter, and MyNetDiary. Most Apps offer a paid version where you have access to more features, but most times you can get away with just using the free version. In this article, I will share some tips that help with tracking your food, and also your mindset around tracking too.

Lighter French Toast is my go-to breakfast when I still want to get in a good amount of protein, but am looking for something sweet and warm on a cold morning. This recipe has around 300 calories and about 17.5 grams of protein which will keep you full throughout the morning. This recipe also pairs nicely with some sort of fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or banana. It is also super quick to make, taking no more than 10 minutes to prepare, so you can make it on weekends or during the work week.
