I get my vitamin D from the sun.  I live in a climate that has a lot of it when it's NOT the "rainy season".

The problem is that most people don't get much sun these days. They either live where there is no sun, or they stay inside most of the day or use sunscreen when they go out.

According to data from 2005-2006, about 41.6% of the US population is deficient in this critical vitamin.

If adequate sun exposure is not an option for you, (12-15 NAKED minutes) then supplementing with vitamin D has been shown to have numerous benefits for health.

This includes improved bone health, increased strength, reduced symptoms of depression and a lower risk of cancer, to name a few. Vitamin D may also help you live longer.

Today's Team Training:

10 sets of 13 reps with the weight we used Saturday of the following:

C/S Row

Lat Pulldown w/ V bar

DB Decline Supine Tricep Extension

Dips

Preacher Curl

Chin ups

AirDyne Sprints: 12x 10/50

Reminder: Start w/ the weight.  No ladders, no ramping up.  We're not using that much weight that warrants copious warm up sets

Don't substitute.  Cheesecake requires certain ingredients.  If you don't use those ingredients in the proper amount what comes out of the oven is a mystery same as it will be here.

Reps don't need to be slammed.  But time between sets should be kept at a minimal to obtain the conditioning response that I want for you.
