Fun fact: one of the reasons high intensity interval training (HIIT) works so well is that its stop-start nature confuses the body’s ability to optimize metabolic responses while exercising. Since it can’t ration its energy like it would in steady exercise, it is having to constantly adjust, which keeps the calorie burn rate higher.
Think of it like stopping and starting your car’s engine repeatedly—it uses a lot more gas than just idling.

In an independent taste test, dogs chose Sundays’ chicken recipe over a leading kibble brand 100% of the time. That’s not a fluke—it’s what happens when food is actually made from real ingredients.

Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better than heavily processed kibble for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is human-grade, vet-formulated, and made with over 80% real meat plus nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains—no fillers, artificial preservatives, or synthetic additives.
