Don’t Skip Meals

24/01/2009 by admin.

So many of us skip meals, especially breakfast.  The problem is if you skip meals, your metabolic rate will slow down which means you will burn less calories throughout the day.   Skipping meals also results in low energy levels. 

Our bodies like consistency, they like to know when the next meal is coming, so getting into a regular eating routine makes sense.  If your body is wondering where the next meal is coming from, it will store food and this will convert to fat.

Chickpeas - pack them in

24/01/2009 by admin.

Chickpeas are part of the legume/pulse family.  They are great for adding to some many dishes, a very versatile food.  Chickpeas are packed full of nutrients and minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium.  They also contain antioxidants which fight off free radicals that damage our bodily cells. 

As part of a healthy diet, chickpeas can contribute to reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. They are high in fibre which can help to lower blood cholesterol levels.  They are also useful for slowing down the rate that sugar is absorbed so are a good source of food for diabetics.

Keep up the momentum

24/01/2009 by admin.

Well done to this morning’s boot campers.  Again, lots of effort going in there and you seemed to be enjoying yourselves. 

We are at the half way point on the boot camp and now is probably the time when most people will drop out of exercise routines, so make sure you keep coming back.  The hard work will pay off - you will have more energy, burn more calories and feel better about yourself.

A massive thank you to Annette and Corrina for your help.

See you all on Tuesday.

Today’s Boot Camp

24/01/2009 by admin.

Hi Folks

Forecast for today is for showers so we will go ahead with boot camp - we might just have to dart for cover a couple of times.  Just make sure you dress appropriately and have something warm and dry to put on afterwards - remember, hat, gloves, drink etc.
