3 – Bean Turkey Chili

It's Monday and it's raining in the East Bay!


The weather can often times lead to our "success rate" of making it to the gym dwindle very quickly! But don't let it! Think of it like this, you can't be outside anyways, so you might as well pack that gym back and head inside for a workout. We guarantee that not only will you keep dry, but you will also feel better post-workout to combat those "rainy day blues!"


Today we have a wonderful Rainy Day Soup Recipe for you, courtesy of ClubSport San Ramon Personal Trainer, Judy Corbett:
