Posted by Your Sports Nutritionist on Jan 9, 2017 9:13:00 AM

This causes many people throw in the towel and maybe think about retrying once the next New Year rolls around. This year, instead of giving up, try a different approach by adding HIIT to your workout and still “have your cake and eat it too” (in moderation, of course).
