  • Three Simple Secrets For Forming Your Fitness Habit

    1. Take control of your workout Take steps to actively manage both the duration and intensity of your training. Frequency before intensity is paramount. When you take up exercise there’s a temptation to go hell for leather from the start. In fact, you are much more likely to stick with it if you stay within your capabilities and don’t let anyone push you too hard. Just getting into the habit is the most important thing. 2. Choose things you can do and that make you feel good Competence relates to how confident you feel in your ability to complete the exercise – and this is a key factor in helping people to achieve their exercise goals. If you feel something is outside your physical capabilities – or just isn’t you – you are likely to feel demoralized and give up at the first hurdle. To keep your confidence high when you start exercising, it’s important to celebrate the immediate wins. Focus on the gains that occur as soon as you become active: increased energy levels, feeling less stressed, improved quality of sleep, and that endorphin buzz you experience immediately after a workout. 3. Keep it social Exercising with other people can make everything so much easier – whether it’s with a personal trainer, your friend, or attending a group fitness class. Firstly, there’s the commitment to someone else – you’re far more likely to ditch your workout when it’s only yourself you’re letting down. Then there are the positive social aspects. In group fitness classes we see the “group effect” – that sense of cohesion that occurs when everyone is moving at the same time. When you feel connected to others during your workout, it makes it so much easier to build up the exercise habit. So there you have it. Take these three exercise and motivation tips and apply them to your fitness journey. Soon you too will be exercising, not because you know you should, but because you can’t imagine life without it. https://www.lesmills.com/knowledge/smart-start/3-secrets-to-motivation/

  • Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge

    Prep time: 30 mins Serves: 21 Creamy, rich peanut butter fudge made with 4 ingredients! Naturally sweetened, healthy, and ready in 30 minutes! The perfect plant-based dessert. Author: Minimalist Baker Vegan and Gluten-Free Ingredients: • 2 cups desiccated (finely shredded) unsweetened coconut • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (best ingredients: just peanuts + salt) • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil • 3–5 Tbsp maple syrup, or other sweetener of choice, i.e. stevia • optional: Pinch sea salt (depending on saltiness of PB) • optional: 1 tsp pure vanilla extract TOPPINGS optional • Crushed peanuts • Coconut flakes Method: 1. Line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside. 2. To a food processor, add desiccated coconut and blend on high until a creamy butter is formed - about 4 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed. 3. Then add peanut butter and melted coconut oil and mix once more. Then add maple syrup 1 Tbsp at a time until desired sweetness is reached. If you add too much maple syrup, the mixture can seize up and get thick. If that happens, thin with a bit more melted coconut oil. 4. Optional: Add sea salt and vanilla and mix once more. Taste and adjust flavors as needed, adding more salt or vanilla for overall flavor or maple syrup or stevia for sweetness. 5. Transfer mixture to lined loaf pan and spread into an even layer. You can add crushed peanuts or coconut flakes on top. 6. Freeze until firm - about 15 minutes. Then use a hot knife to slice into even squares. Enjoy immediately and store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 10 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. If frozen, let soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for best texture/flavour. #HealthyEating #NutitionAdvice #Recipe
