Day 16 of the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge, and still going strong. I did get a full night sleep last night, which is close to 8 hours for me. I have only been sleeping about 6.5 hours and waking up ready to go. Not a huge difference, but I did notice it. Another thing I […]
This is another basic movement, but I want to sure I cover all the core lifts. I like to mix in machines with free weights.
