Feeling pretty great these days following @jerichomcmatthews Morning Meltdown 100 on @beachbody on demand. I started with single workouts but since I'm not doing much else I'm doubling up most days. It's definitely more challenging than I expected since I've been lifting weights for years at this point. Also, the music is awesome in this program. (I'm not a beach body coach lol. Just sharing something I enjoy since everyone is looking for options for working out at home these days)

How much training is needed to avoid loss of muscle mass gains? Gaining muscle mass is a slow process. However, muscle mass is can be lost quickly during ...muscle disuse, e.g. during prolonged bed rest or when in a cast. A less extreme example of muscle disuse is detraining (i.e. training less or not at all). How fast do you lose muscle if you stop training or when training volume is reduced? This study investigated the effect of detraining on muscle mass and strength gains. Subjects first performed a 16-week resistance training phase. During this phase, they performed 27 sets for the quadriceps muscle. Subsequently, subjects performed either 3 sets per week (1/9th original training volume) or stopped training at all for 32 weeks. The subjects that did no training at all during the 32 weeks lost 30% of their muscle size. However, subjects that performed 1/9th of the original training volume did not lose any muscle size. As for muscle strength, the no training group did not show a decrease in strength. The 1/9th training group even showed a small increase in strength. Note that these results were for young adults (20-35 yr). The present study also investigated older males (60-75 yr), which needed 1/3rd of the original training volume (i.e. 9 sets per week) to keep gains in muscle mass and 1/9th of the training volume to keep strength gains. In conclusion, a low training volume is enough to maintain muscle mass and strength gains made from a high-volume training program. This study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21131862/ See more

One of my favorite simple dinners: Veggie ground tacos! I use 1/2 cup of the veggie ground and fry it up in a pan or throw it in the microwave if I'm really impatient. Sour cream, salsa, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and romaine all on a small tortilla

If you have a sweet tooth like me, you need to try this! Slice an apple into thin slices. Spray a small pan with cooking spray and put on medium heat. Add your apple slices and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook them with a lid on until they're soft (you can add a tablespoon of 2 of water to speed it up) and then serve topped with whipped cream
