Got (Chocolate) Milk?
When you cool down and towel off after a long workout, you’re not quite done taking care of your body. It’s important to refuel your muscles, too. Moderate- to high-intensity workouts like racquetball use up your body’s stores of glycogen, the main fuel used to get you through those workouts.

After a long workout, many people reach for a favorite sports drink, water or maybe even juice. But there’s actually a great workout recovery drink option: chocolate milk. It may surprise you to learn that the drink you loved as a kid is actually an excellent post-exercise recovery beverage. Read More
