We absolutely love chocolate milk here at MidwestFit, and for all those looking for an excuse to drink it, here you go! In an exercise physiology class of mine we studied an experiment performed with the IU Cycling Club that covered all of the benefits for drinking chocolate milk between exercise bouts. Give this similar article a read! Chocolate milk has the perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein, and sodium (still drink your water of course) to use in between your exercise bouts to replenish your blood and muscle glucose levels, to repair your muscles, and to get you ready for your next workout!
Benefits of Chocolate Milk
Have a great weekend!

Potential PT #1 – Half Marathon Training Continued
Stretch
Run 3.5 Miles
Stretch
Be sure to stretch really well at least twice a day if you’ve been working out hard recently and am sore like I am. Also be sure to drink plenty of fluids with electrolytes (Gatorade and Orange Juice are winners) and get some protein in the diet to help your muscles repair and rebuild.
