Another protein and low carb breakfast idea

Posted on

Another protein and low carb breakfast idea. Scrambled eggs with spinach, avocado and tomatoes. You could leave a 12 hours interval before you eat your breakfast, after your last meal the eve before. This gives your digestion a chance to rest. 16-18 hours is an optimum gap if you're on a weight loss journey. On 2 consecutive days for the best result. Spinach, avocado and tomatoes are all good slow release carbs eaten together with the protein of the eggs. Tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene which has been linked to many health benefits including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They also contain Vit C and Vit K. . . . . .

Modified side plank exercise

Posted on

Modified side plank exercise. This is an easier version of the plank. This is a good alternative plank strengthening exercise, especially after a knee injury as there is no pressure or strain on the knees holding in this position when the core or glutes and hamstrings are still weak. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio

Pilates hover exercise

Posted on

Pilates hover exercise. This exercise can be the precurser to a plank. It engages the glutes, core, and deep abdominals. The back has to be straight and the head aligned. It's harder than it looks to keep the back in line and shoulders down and not curve the back upwards when raising and holding the hover position. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio @bh_beyondhealth

Good morning Monday

Good morning Monday. Body positive. Look in the mirror and love all of what you see. The best bits and those bits you dont like so much. No one's perfect. Don't believe everything you see on others' social media. Be the best version of yourself you can be.

A simple Pilates bridge to engage the glute posterior muscles

Posted on

A simple Pilates bridge to engage the glute posterior muscles. Feet hip width apart, Raise your bottom up into bridge,, lift your leg up, making sure you don't drop your hip. You will see I dropped slightly more on one side than the other as that's my weaker side at the moment. Try to place your foot down gently. You only need to do 2 lifts each time before you come down, relax and reset.
