KMPH FOX 26 | Central San Joaquin Valley News SourceGreat Day, Great Shape: Building Muscle

Rich Kreps stopped by Great Day Monday morning to offer muscle building tips.

He says muscles don't grow when we work. Instead, they grow when we recover.

Do as much "damage" to muscles as quickly as possible; then recover as soon as possible.

Rich says you should plan to eat immediately after your workout to keep your metabolism up.

Remember to stay hydrated and get adequate sleep as well.

As always, consult your doctor before starting any new diets or workouts.

If you have a question for Rich, send an e-mail to Greatday@kmph.com.
