25.01.2022 Silly snacking V Smart snacking. Snacking for the sake of snacking is a sure way to stack on some unwanted kilos which is why it's called 'Silly Snacking'. Conversely, snacking sensibly to recover from the effects of exercise is the other end of the scale and its called 'Smart Snacking'. Choosing a carb-based snack will help replenish your muscle glycogen post a cardio based session just as reaching for a protein-based snack will help with muscle repair and restoration.... Here is a few examples of suggested foods to match your type of exercise.

25.01.2022 BODYATTACK - This is a sports inspired cardio workout for building strength and stamina. We all love squats, presses, lifts and curls right? These guys sure do and they turn up and give 100% every time! Why not give it a go, you have nothing to lose!

Healthy DOUBLE chocolate cookies with only 54 calories per piece ... This recipe was found by one of our staff members and she gives them a 10/10!! Ingredients: 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 tablespoon vegan butter or coconut oil 1/4 cup raw honey 1/4 cup dark 70% chocolate chips (we used Noshu chocolate chips) 1 1/3 cups spelt flour or gluten free all purpose baking flour 2 tablespoons raw cocoa powder or regular cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt Method: Preheat oven to 175. In a bowl whisk eggs and vanilla. In a small saucepan melt butter (or coconut oil) with the dark chocolate chips and the honey.

16.01.2022 CHOCOLATE BROWNIES Brownies are always one of those "treats" that disappear very, very quickly! But the poison is in the dose (and the often used refined ingredients such as flour and sugar). Here is a healthier alternative to the traditional brownie but just as gooey and delicious because we should still be able to enjoy the finer things in life, right?... Prep: 10 mins ( +2 hours for cool and set) Cook: 30 mins Ingredients 200 g raw dark chocolate (at least 80% cacao, with no refined sugar). chopped. 185 ml (3/4 cup) coconut oil 3 tablespoon cacao powder, plus 2 tablespoons extra to dust 6 eggs, separated 300 g honey 200 g (2 cups) walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped. Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Grease an 18 cm x 28 cm baking tin and line base with baking paper Combine the chocolate, coconut oil and cacao powder in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching ) a saucepan of just simmering water. Stir the chocolate mixture occasionally with a spatula until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks and 175 g of the honey in a bowl and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until doubled in size and fluffy. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the chocolate mixture with a metal spoon. Whisk the egg whites and the remaining honey in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites mixture into the chocolate mixture until well incorporated then gently fold in the walnuts Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin and level the top with a palette knife. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the mixture comes out clean. The brownie will puff up a little during cooking. Allow to cool completely in the tin, then pop in fridge for 2 hours before cutting. Dust with cacao powder and serve. These will keep in fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy x

15.01.2022 Introducing our Member Of The Month....Bek Coonerty Bek joined Advance Fitness Northside in May 2019 initially to lose weight for her wedding later in the year and to help with some underlying health issues. Bek says I knew that I had to make some drastic changes to my current lifestyle and knew the working out at the gym was going to play a huge role What she didn’t know was that she was going to lose almost 20kgs!! Bek says that when she signed up at Advance Fitness..., she discussed her goals with staff saying we discussed sticking to a training and nutrition plan to reduce my weight and to improve my mobility and endurance and that is exactly what I have done. You certainly have Bek and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch your amazing transformation. While some of us have struggled with the gym being closed due to COVID-19, Bek took everything she had learnt at the gym and made do with what equipment and resources she had at home to keep her on track focusing on 10k steps per day and saying it’s been a massive accomplishment to fit in work, raising a family, working out and eating better and to be happy while doing it, its been a lifestyle change for me, not just about weight loss. Bek is very happy to be back in her routine at the gym though and using her favourite pieces of equipment. We asked Bek what she likes most about training at Advance Fitness and she says The thing I like about training here is the friendly atmosphere. I can train when I like, the staff are very encouraging and I don’t feel intimidated by others. I go about my business with little fuss and bother and I know I’m getting real benefits You sure are Bek, 18kgs down and always a big smile on your face, it would inspire the uninspired! When asked what she would say to someone who is thinking about getting started she says Come and speak to the staff. They can help and assist you with setting up a weight loss program that suits your ability. You are then able to do more once you think you can up the anti Bek hopes her story will inspire others to become a healthier version of themselves and we think she will!

A big thanks to Jordan for participating in this post! ... Step 1. Find a stable implement and place the front foot far enough way so the hips can sit into a single-leg squat position without the front foot coming off the ground. Step 2. Slightly brace and sit into the hole thinking about bringing the hips straight up and down as if they’re on a string. Keep the torso neutral or slightly leaned forward and allow the knee to track without allowing the heel to lift off the ground. Step 3. Drive through the front leg and press directly down into the ground contracting the quad. Keep the hips inline and travel directly upwards while maintaining tension throughout the quad. Grip the floor with the front foot.

They are AHMAZING!! Ingredients: 1 cup sweet potato purée 2/3 cup maple syrup... 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or sub melted vegan butter, melted coconut oil, or olive oil) 1/2 cup cocoa powder or cacao powder 1/4 tsp sea salt 1 tsp baking powder 2/3 cup oat flour 1/2 cup chopped raw pecans or walnuts 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional) Method: Pre-heat your oven to 176 C and line an 88-inch baking pan (or similar-size pan) with baking paper.

01.01.2022 Pork is a good source of high-quality protein an essential food nutrient for the human body. It contains high concentrations of amino acids once ingested. The human body thrives on nutrients. Amino acids are one of them. It is the end product of broken-down proteins. However, not all proteins contain these essential nutrients. Green beans, for example, contain no amino acids. The good thing about pork is that it contains all the 9 essential amino acids that are crucial for ...the proper growth of the human body. For this reason, pork comes in handy if you are looking to hit the gym for more muscle. Plus, pork can accelerate recovery from injury or surgery. This is pork loin purchased from Aldi (for $15, bargain!) with one of their delicious salads which has loads of colourful veggies and will feed a family of 5 for under $20! Be sure to get lean cuts of Pork though, drop the crackling guys! Get some pork on your fork!

01.01.2022 "COVID FAT"...I'm sure you've heard it being thrown around a bit of late...right? A lot of us are less active, less motivated and just doing our best and for most of us, our healthy food choices may have taken a back seat. But its not all bad news! You are probably cooking more, eating out less and trying new recipes? This is a great time to be getting into some 'healthy habits' and planning your meals for the week before heading to the grocery store (see the template pinned... to the top of this page). Below is a quick, easy, healthy dinner/lunch that is a perfect balance of protein, carbs and healthy fats. I like to call it "The Healthy Taco"! Ingredients: Baby cos lettuce Chicken/turkey mince (seasoned with your favourite herbs and spices) Red capsicum (chopped finely) zucchini (chopped finely) Spring onion Fresh chilli (optional) Vermicelli noodles Method: Wash and pat dry lettuce leaves - sit aside Fry mince with herbs and spices (paprika, dried chiili flakes, turmeric, salt and pepper) Cook your vermicelli noodles as per packet instructions and once cooked and rinsed, place a small amount on the lettuce cup followed by mince. Top with fresh chilli and and spring onion. Enjoy!
