RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
Watch this video to see how to make healthy ice cream. Yes, HEALTHY ice cream. *Do NOT use the protein shown in the video. Instead use this one (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/naturalcas.html) because it's all natural, only 130cal, 1g of fat, 7g of carbs, and 24g of highest quality casein protein.*

RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
Are you stressed out? Not only does stress prevent us from being as fit as we want to be because of the increase in cortisol hormone levels, but it also has serious effects on our short & long term health. Read this brief article on the American Institute of Stress' website to see how stress may be affecting every part of your body and how to deal with it in a positive way.

RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
As it gets closer to bedtime the body knows it won't be consuming calories during sleep so it slows down our metabolism (how fast we burn cal). If we skip breakfast, it stays slow. Then we get to lunch starving, and that's when we make bad choices & overeat. ALWAYS eat a breakfast that includes a protein (eggs, turkey/chicken sausage, Greek yogurt, unsalted/raw nuts), because not only will that boost your metabolism, but protein keeps us feeling fuller longer. *The picture is not a recommended breakfast, it's just a cute pic.*

RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
Do you dread exercise/going to the gym or view exercise as a chore/punishment? That's a sign of an unhealthy relationship with it. Exercise is supposed to be fun & challenging, something you enjoy doing. Try new things like a Krav Maga or Zumba class. Try yoga, rock climbing, skateboarding, anything! Be adventurous with your exercise, and you'll see it doesn't suck.

RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
We can either pay now for foods that contain organic/natural ingredients, pesticide/gmo free fruits/veggies, are preservative & nitrate free, etc., or we can pay later with insurance premiums, doctor visit co-pays, prescriptions, etc., with problems stemming from heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and stroke. Choice is ours.
