Health

Get ready to spice things up at the gym with progressive overload. The idea of progressive overload is basically making sure you’re changing up the stimulus of your workout enough to keep your body from getting stagnant.

Recipe Of The Day: Everything bagel-seasoned chicken tenders seriously are everything. Coat chicken pieces in egg and toss in a mixture of panko bread crumbs and everything bagel seasoning (we love the one from Trader Joe’s!), bake for 15 minutes and they’re ready to serve. You could even cut the tenders into bite-sized pieces before coating for mini chicken bites — yum! [Averie Cooks]

A quick tip from yours truly: Panko breadcrumbs give a crunchier texture than regular breadcrumbs, but you can totally swap one for the other. Other coating ideas you should def try are crushed pretzels, cornflakes or rice cereal.
