Happy Labor Day!

Thanks to everyone that showed up this weekend to train @ McCarren Park. It was a great turnout and you guys are awesome for coming out to train during this holiday weekend :)

Hope you guys enjoyed your weekend and I’m sure you all ate and drank a lot! It’s A-ok because cheat meals are a must to keep yourself sane! I’m sure you are all looking for some new healthy recipes to get your week started and feel better from your weekend splurge.

Benefits of Cantaloupe:

If you are a health nut, trying to lose weight or simply a lover of fruits, then one of the fruits that should top your list

There are so many cantaloupe nutrition factors where eating a slice or two daily will give you a much needed vitamin and mineral boost. To name a few vitamins and minerals that it has, cantaloupes contain thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin C and iron. They are also a good source of carbohydrates and proteins, and a whole cantaloupe only contains around 20 calories, despite its sweetness.

 Contains a high level of vitamins A, B and C, cantaloupes will help prevent coughs, colds and fevers as they stimulate the immune system.
