HEALTHY FAMILY COOKBOOK RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE.

As a family we have been making a conscious effort to eat healthily with an emphasis on every meal having as much nutritional benefit as possible for our age and our lifestyles.

Matt cycles roughly 200km a week, I am constantly on the move because my work and Soph, who is 12, is a little fussy but we want to make sure that we all eat as a family and that we are not all eating different meals - this is very important to us.

These have been my go to books over the last few weeks and are brilliant. Does anyone have any other suggestions though??

My first ever homemade granola! Why have I taken so long to make this!!? It’s delicious! I can’t wait for breakfast!!

I always try to “upgrade” every dish these days with as much nutrition as possible by adding seeds, nuts, fruit, whole grains. It’s always easy when I have the right stuff in the cupboard! Makes it so much more tasty and keeps me fuller for longer. It’s a win win! I think I am even converting my husband to enjoy these small additions!

Check out this gym on the Titanic. Fascinating!

I am so proud to be an ACE qualified PT.

I have to recertify every 2 years (this is my 2nd renewal). In order to do this I have to prove that I am upskilling by completing a variety of approved courses of my choice. For my last renewal, I qualified as a Mat Pilates Instructor, completed an online Biomechanics course and attended a beginners rehab course. This is to work towards my goal of helping my clients exercise safely around any injuries they have sustained from sport or just from, dare I say it…. Aging! By learning more about how the body moves, which muscle groups are used in each movement and any contraindications that could occur to prevent such movement I am able to help my clients achieve their goals through exercise and work towards a pain free lifestyle.

SO EXCITED! Hummingbird Fitness is spreading it’s wings and will no longer confined to the shores of Singapore - we are going ONLINE! Watch this space.

Such a great cardio workout this morning with my zoom ladies.

Try this tabata workout at home by yourself - Only 8 exercises, 40 seconds work, 20 seconds rest ..........well only in the first round anyway - 3 rounds!!

1. Mountain climbers (plank)
2. Static lunge left leg (pulsing in midway position)
3. Static lunge right leg (pulsing in midway position)
4. Russian twist (boat hold)
5. Squats (static squat)
6. Arm circles whilst jogging (arm pulses)
7. Side lunges (static side lunge)
8. Commando press ups (plank)

Round 1 take the 20 sesonds rest
Round 2 - 10 seconds in the static hold of that exercise (the instruction in the bracket) - rest 10 seconds
Round 3 - hold in the static hold for the full 20 seconds - ie no rest but as we like to call it in the industry - "active rest".😂

Go on - give it a go!
