Let's be honest here, most New Years resolutions?
are abandoned by mid-March. Because the majority of these New Years commitments to working out & eating kale salads all day? Are doomed from the outset (especially looking back at 2020, with gyms closing and opening every 15 minutes) Regardless of pandemic related setbacks however, they historically tend to start off on the wrong foot... No real goal setting and poor planning. Honestly, it's not a surprise the average 'diet' allegedly lasts around 5 weeks for most Before you know it, the majority of people enthusiastically setting lofty 2021 aims? Are back chilling in their PJs vowing they'll do it next year, before everyone's even got their Christmas decorations down

Higher protein breakfasts have been linked with decreased mid-morning snacks, more sustainable energy and greater recovery from training (via contributing to total daily protein intake)
The thing is, when you're waking up with exactly 45 minutes to get up, get showered, dressed and out the door? Making a full on omelette can feel like a Herculean task. And that's not even taking into account if you have kids... Enter the breakfast muffin- the perfect morning recipe to batch cook on a Sunday then blitz in the microwave whilst your coffee's brewing, to get your day off the right start without the hassle of waking up any earlier There are two general reactions to press ups when they're added to a Personal Training Programme for our clients...
"Gah, I suck at those", or an incredulous "aren't press ups for beginners"? The truth is, you can get in great shape with this upper body staple, which may or may not be the oldest exercise known to man (I have no idea if that's true, but it sounds good, doesn't it?). It can be a tough challenge if you've never trained before, or if you grew up pushing a dumbbell around in a pram and snacked on protein cookies instead of Oreos and it's value as an exercise has sky rocketed due to it's accessibility in 2020, with so many gyms being closed So, the big question.... "How on earth can I programme press ups to get results?" If there was a graph showing ease of cooking vs enjoyment, I reckon a well made stir fry would sit right at the apex between the two
any meal that only requires a single wok to cook in a winner in my book, and this recipe has become as household favourite for Gen & I, being as it not only tastes fantastic, but it also packs a solid protein punch & is chock full of veggies. November 21st.
That's when Gen & I erected our Christmas tree this year. A solid week prior to it being socially acceptable. Sure we got groans from family members when they glimpsed it in the corner of our Zoom screen, and when I mentioned it to the clients at our Personal Training Studio in Milton Keynes I honestly thought our inbox might be clogged with cancellations by the morning... But you know what? I'd do it all again. This year has been a kick in the nether-regions at times, and a little preemptive Christmas cheer has done our household the world of good. The decorations going up is also indicative of another, recurring yearly challenge though, that we're going to address today... How on earth do you remain even remotely "healthy", whilst engulfed in the Christmas spirit? My wife is a phenomenal cook.
Genuinely, it feels like I'm doing the household a disservice whenever I take to the stove. The self-admitted issue she has when it comes to baking however, is that she very rarely weighs or measures anything out in the kitchen. She's more of those "got the ingredients, cook to taste" kind of gals, that can make magic out of the most mundane of shopping lists We're well and truly into the comfort food months here in the UK, with the sun setting about 5 minutes after it rises, and scraping off ice your car windscreen returning as a regular part of the morning routine (unless you're working from home, then you can go ahead and leave that ice on there and grab a cuppa)
This Chicken Saag is a go-to in our household for not only packing a protein & nutrient dense punch, but also tasting phenomenal. I'd suggest adding some Naan bread personally (assuming your calories allow) It's very rare, here at our Personal Training Studio in Milton Keynes, that we're the first solution our client's have tried when they come through the door
More often that not? They already have a laundry list of frustrations when it comes to previous health kicks. Whether it was the stint of low-carbdom that left them feeling comatose by midday, the four weeks eating low fat, and having to hide their pain watching as their family ate Bacon Sarnies on a Sunday without them, or the half a day they attempted full on keto, and quickly bailed on the idea after putting half a stick of butter in their coffee caused the bulk of their morning to be spent in a toilet cubicle at work One of my all time favourite meals when people say it "takes too long to eat well"
This meal takes 10 minutes to prep, is nutrient dense, is high in both protein and omega 3, and tastes great. Here's exactly what you'll need to make your own this week “I was honestly fearful I was about to blind my new boss with a button if I fully exhaled. By the end of the meeting I’m sure I was a shade or two closer to beetroot due to holding my stomach in for a solid 45 minutes…”
This was the situation Dave had found himself in after returning to the office to meet the new company director in person after 4 months of working from home, it was the first time Dave had needed to get into his office gear, and as soon as he’d slid his work shirt over his shoulders, he knew he was in trouble |
