That workout left my legs sore for days, so much so that even though the next 2 days were upper and core focused, I had to take a rest day today and reschedule today's brutal HIIT/lower strength routine to tomorrow. I didn't want to overwork already sore muscles/overtrain/kind of half-ass it? And I know it's totally fine to just pick back up tomorrow, but do you guys do this ever due to soreness? I know I've lost some strength and had been feeling weak so thought this was would be the perfect program, and I truly have enjoyed the first 3 days so far, but wondering if my extended soreness is a sign of lack of protein in my diet (for muscle recovery) or just my body getting used to HIIT again since I haven't done HIIT in a month I think. I do look forward to a sweat sesh though so excited to get back into it tmrw. 😊
In my smoothie -
1 banana,
cacao powder (I eyeball it but usually a heaping tsp)
1 tbsp almond butter,
a scoop of chocolate protein powder,
and some coconut milk! Probably about 3/4 cup.

I've been loving finding fellow blenders on IG recently and wondering if any of you have health/fitness accounts? I'd love to follow you all, please let me know your handles below if you want! :)
Post workout meal + FBAbs Round 2 + Health/Fitness Instagrams?
Hello! Long time blender here (think 2013) but don't think I've posted before 😅
I started FB Abs - Round 2 this past Monday and man has it been fun! Shoutout to Druhi, my program buddy on the other side of the globe :)
Wanted to share my post workout meal/dinner from the first day - pasta with some broccoli and bell pepper + a chocolate protein smoothie! An odd combination, but it was bomb 🤩 what I put in my smoothie at the bottom of the post :) A great way to refuel after doing an intense, but fun hiit workout the first day!
