For our boot camp workout on Monday I thought I would switch it up. So I gave my classes a nutrition quiz.
If they got the answer right, the exercise was easier. If they got it wrong, the exercise was not easier. It pays to be a winner.
The main idea was to drive home the importance of reading food labels and knowing what you are putting into your body. A lot of these might surprise you.
You can take the quiz yourself. The answer key will be at the bottom of the page.
