Fitness tip of the Day

One of the most common exercises is the pushup. Some people can do 50 and some people can only do 1. For those of you who can do more than 20 try doing pushups with one hand on a phone book or a step and one hand on the floor. Do one set with the book under your left hand and then another set with the book under your right. Do 4-6 sets. This will help to create an unbalance in the chest making it slightly harder than normal giving your body a new motion that it's not used to.

For you beginners, Try doing modified pushups from your knees which will help to reduce the overall weight you have to lift. Once you hit 20 modified pushups in a row it's time to try the real thing.

Fed up with nasty tasting protein bars or clumpy shakes?

Try these guilt-free, bake-free brownies
Ready in 1 hour

Ingredients:
• 1 packet high-fiber apple cinnamon oatmeal
• 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/3 cup protein powder
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup natural crunchy peanut butter
• 2–3 tbsp organic raw cocoa powder

Blend oatmeal and flaxseed into a fine flour (I use my handy Magic Bullet). Toss the ground oatmeal/flaxseed, protein powder, water and peanut butter into a ziplock bag and mush it around until it forms sticky dough. Refrigerate for about an hour then form into a small round loaf and slice into strips or bite-size chunks. Roll the pieces in the cocoa powder or crunchy flakes for some extra flavor.

These brownies are filled with the energy you need to fuel yourself through a good workout or even recovery snack for after.

Fitness tip of the Day

After a good workout you may experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This is a good pain that tells you that you pushed yourself hard during your workout. To reduce the soreness, try stretching to promote blood flow to the sore muscles. Blood flow helps to bring healthy nutrients in to help build and repair the muscles.

During a hard workout session you use a large amount of energy in the body. You burn carbs, calories, fat and protein all while you sweat away the pounds. You must remember to eat something directly after your workout so your body can recover from a hard worked shift and the sweat factory. Get a good mix of protein and simple carbs to help with recovery and promote muscle growth. And ladies when I say muscle growth I don't mean big bulging biceps, I'm referring to the tiny fibers that make up the muscle.

Try to eat within an hour of finishing your workout. My favourite post workout meal is organic peanut butter and banana on whole grain bread with chocolate milk.

Working out is a team sport. It can be done by yourelf but you can only with with a partner. A partner will allow you to push 110% everytime, not to mention will help prevent injury. If your alone in the gym ask someone working out beside you. 90% of the time they probably need your help to.
