Flexi Friday ✨

Managed to improve both legs from 2 yoga blocks to 3 this past month! This year one focus of mine is to dedicate more time to flexibility and mobility and it’s paying off 🙌🏻

Chickpea Earth Bowl
Ingredients: (serves 2)
1x Aubergine
1x Avocado
1x Tin of chickpeas
100g of coucous (uncooked)
400g chopped tomatoes
1-2x Garlic clove
Honey
Greek yogurt

1. Preheat oven to 200°c. Chop up the aubergine and avocado.
2. Pop aubergine onto baking tray, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 20-25mins
3. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put in a pan over a medium heat on the hob. Add the garlic and any spices (I add paprika). Pour in the chopped tomatoes and a pinch of sugar and bring to a boil to simmer for 6mins.
4. Boil the kettle and add the water to the couscous in a bowl. Cover and leave for 10mins.
5. Once the aubergine in cooked, drizzle some honey over and toss to coat. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide everything between two bowls. Cover each third of the bowl with the aubergine and avocado, chickpeas and coucous. Drizzle over some yogurt and enjoy 😋

Got a new YouTube workout for the new week 🙌🏻 A 10min ab workout which will definitely achieve a good burn 🔥 Link in bio

Increased flexibility must come with strength and control to avoid injury.

The more you increase your flexibility at a joint the more the body must learn to control movement through this new range of motion. If you can not control your body through a range of motion it can lead to injury. This is where mobility comes in. Stretching and becoming more flexible for the sake of it doesn’t make sense, you should analyse your own needs and adopt functional mobility with control 🙌🏻 Allowing this new flexibility to benefit you as you have strength in your new end range.

Check out my my full body 10 minute stretch on YouTube!🙌🏻 10 minutes of stretching a day can make such a huge difference in your flexibility and mobility! Both of which are so important when wanting to achieve a better range of motion in exercises such as squats as well as inmproving your quality of life ✨ Link to the video is in my bio!!

Isolation meant handstand practise ✨

Calorie expenditure

Calorie expenditure is the amount of calories we burn. Did you know that only around 0-10% of the calories we burn comes from our workouts? Here our the other ways our body’s burn calories:

BMR (basal metabolic rate): 60 - 80%
This is the calories you burn simply from existing. The amount of calories you would burn a day even if you didn’t move which makes up a total of 60-80% of our total calorie expenditure.

NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis): 10 - 30%
The calories you burn from movement and activity which isn’t considered as exercise. This could be cleaning the house or walking up and down the stairs.

TEF (thermic effect of food): 8 - 15%
The calories we burn from digesting and breaking down the food we eat.

EAT ( exercise activity thermogenesis) 0 - 10%
The calories we burn for intended exercise. So this is the percentage of overall calories you burn from you workouts.
