We all know that protein is vital food source to promote recovery and rebuilding of cells in our body, in particular for our organs and muscles. In recent months we have shared a stack of content relating to the Keto diet and how important it is to eat a good variety of fats and proteins for this eating method to work. Where people usually get stuck is coming up with new recipe ideas to keep their nutrition healthy, but at the same time tasty. To help you overcome this problem our nutrition expert Mel has put together an amazing infographic that details exactly how to cook an amazing slow cooked beef dish. 

There are so many great stability exercises to use for correcting postural problems and movement dysfunction that cause weakness and pain. However, there is one exercise I find that stands above all others, and that is the toe touch drill. One of the main reasons I rate it so highly is the fact it relates to people of all ages and abilities. For example, I regularly use this with clients in their 80’s for preventing falls, and people suffering with serious hip or knee injuries, as it helps to restore optimal stability of the pelvis with the single leg stance used in walking. At the same time I also include this in training programs for elite athletes for improving sporting performance with running and jumping movements. In this article, I will explain in great detail exactly what this exercise can do for your body, and why you should include it in your training program.

Getting in shape is never easy and in the early stages it may seem like you are getting nowhere. Today’s modern world is moving so fast and technology has allowed us to get things at the click of button that we have come to expect instant gratification in just about everything we do. And when it doesn’t happen people become discouraged very quickly. Most health and fitness experts will tell you the best way to overcome this is to set specific goals you can measure that keep you on track and accountable. For a long time I preached this method too, and while I had some wins with this approach I had many more losses. I came to realise that success has more to do with the process of getting in shape instead of fixating your mind on what you want. Instead of focusing on the end goal of how much weight you want to lose, or how fast you want to run, I found it was more important to focus on the system you were using to get there. In this article I am going to share with you how this change in mind-set can be a complete game changer to the way you approach everything to do with health and fitness.
