This will help deplete your muscles through the week, so that come Sunday when you carb load, they will soak the glycogen up like a sponge to enhance your overall appearance. You should appear rounder and fuller for your finishing photos. Sure, you’re going to be really running on vapors for this final week, but you’ve come this far so I expect you to make it through from here. Taking PRE-KAGED before your workouts will help sustain better energy levels when the going gets tough.

Today’s cardio for me started off with a 5K Color Run, which is a local charitable event. Doing things like this gives you something new to focus on and gives you a reason to do cardio without thinking about it, while raising money for a good cause. It was great noticing this run felt a lot easier than 6 weeks ago, which tells me this program hasn’t just made me look better, it’s also improved my performance.
