RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

How much sleep do you get at night? Not sleeping enough causes decreased levels of growth hormones that aid in muscle recovery/building & it increases levels of the hormone cortisol which causes body fat gain. Lack of sleep also leads to increased stress & exhaustion during your day. If you can't get enough each night, try to catch up with a nap during the day/weekends.
