Reggie Kelly's Rules for Memorial Day Weekend
Whassup OhYeah! Fam!
As we prepare for the Memorial Day weekend, think LIMITATIONS!

Limit the juice or alcohol use; drink plenty of water or an OhYeah! Vanilla Creme Nutritional Shake, my favorite!
Limit sweets or desserts; Eat more fresh fruits. They are fresh and in season this time of year, so they’ll taste even...

Amanda Adams Visits the Farmers Market
Looking back 4 years ago, I was that girl that needed 5 different sauces to dip my chicken in, tell the waiter “no peppers, onions, or tomatoes please” and thought fruit needed a little sugar on top.

Are you glued to your desk all day?

Some researchers say that constant sitting can be as bad for you as smoking!

Amanda Adams's Answers: Is It Good To Be Sore...
Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to being sore after a workout. Some love it and some never want to feel it. The soreness that you feel a day or two after a workout is called D.O.M.S or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. This is caused by, yes, that awesome workout you just put yourself through, but more specifically by little muscle microtearing that helps to build muscle fiber.
