Our gym this morning


This is where we worked out this morning - Boxing on the Beach!



Q & A Time

Question: I would really love to join in with group training, but I haven't exercised for quite a while and I'm scared I won't be fit enough and basically I'm scared of embarrassing myself. What would you recommend as being the best way to get started?

Answer: Firstly, most group sessions are tailored in such a way that everyone can be catered to. However, as we offer a first session for free, we often suggest that you have that session as a half hour one on one introductory session. That way we can both work together to assess your goals, your current fitness level, introduce you to technique, and I can work out where I need to focus on you and tell you to ease off in a group situation.

Group Sessions are now in full swing!

Tomorrow morning's session will be:
Fighting Fit Friday in the Fand.

Luckily tides are still low in the morning, so we should have access to a nice range of soft sand, hard sand - and of course boxing!

Protein Pancake Recipe

If you're struggling to get a bit of extra protein in your diet, or trying to think up new things to 'snack' on, try these.

250g cottage cheese - low fat - dairy farmers has best protein/carb/fatratios
2/3 c rolled oats
3 egg whites or 2 whole eggs

Method:
Put egg whites/eggs into the blender and whisk, then add cottage cheese,whisk, then add in the oats, whisk until nicely blended and smooth. Lightly grease frypan - pour in either pikelet size batches or pancake sizebatches. Cook like for pikelets ie once they get bubbly turn over. This is really enough for two days worth of breakfast or three days of snacks. It probably sounds horrendous with the ingredients, but trust me..they are actually really good!!!

Serve with either sugar free maple syrup or fruit or natural peanut butter/ sugar free jam.

Yum.
