18.01.2022 Want to make your veggies taste delicious? Here are 5 tips to LOVING YOUR VEGGIES! 1. VARY YOUR COOKING METHOD You can take one vegetable, like cauliflower, and cook it in a variety of ways. Methods include boiling, steaming, simmering, roasting, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, braising, stewing, and even pickling. Whatever method you choose will lead to different flavours and textures. ... 2. TRY SOMETHING NEW Go to your local farmers’ market and get some suggestions for something new for you to try. Maybe pick up some artichokes to make a Spinach Artichoke Dip or some broccoli rabe for Sauteed Broccoli Rabe with Red Chili Flakes. Set a goal to serve at least one new vegetable dish a week. If there are already vegetables that you love, make your goal to prepare them in a few different ways (like a different cooking method). 3. DIFFERENT AROMATICS AND SEASONINGS Start with aromatics like shallots, onions and garlic. Heat a bit of your favourite oil in the pan and saute thinly sliced shallots and minced garlic until they are lightly browned and the smell permeates the air. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Or grate some fresh ginger for an Asian flavour. These aromatics set the foundation for an amazingly flavourful dish. Use fresh or dried herbs and spices. Thyme, oregano and parsley are also among my favourite herbs while cumin, coriander and paprika are my favourite spices. 4. EAT THEM RAW Sometimes the best way to enjoy vegetables is to not cook them at all. Even when I am prepping veggies for cooking, I always munch on a few pieces raw. That’s the way you really taste the vegetable in its natural state and keep all those nutrients. Capsicum, carrots, celery, cucumber, mushrooms, just to name a few. 5. STUFF THEM Stuffing vegetables is a fun way to eat something different that also looks pretty impressive. There are a bunch of veggies that can be stuffed such as artichokes, capsicums, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini and squash. You can fill them with mince, rice (post workout), quinoa (post workout), mushrooms, spinach, or any of your favourite ingredients. #vegetables #veggierecipes #loveyourveg #healthyeating #foodtips

13.01.2022 Dreaming of overseas travel, and ticking off bucketlists. Prior to covid, we had organised an international adventure with our fitfam every year. We've done; Everest Base Camp The Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Peru... South Island, New Zealand 2020 was meant to see us get to South Africa and do Mt Kilimanjaro, however, it just wasn't to be. Thinking of heading out to our own backyard and exploring the great Aussie outback. Would you be keen or joining us, and where would you LOVE to visit/explore/conquer? #travelaustralia #bucketlist #adventure #wanderlust #machupicchu

12.01.2022 A huge shout out to one of our Rowville members Ben. This is him doing walking lunges to full depth this week. 6 months ago, he needed to use a bench or a pole to balance him, and his range of motion only allowed him to go down about 2/3 of the way. He is now using his entire body weight (plus some added weight above his head), getting full depth and looking super controlled. Well done @bfish80. We couldn't be proud of you and all the changes you have made.... Not only that, he is also down a whole heap of scale weight and body fat too. A great reminder that you don't need to be perfect to start. You don't need to do all the exercises to start. If you've got an injury or a weakness, we can always adjust and regress an exercise to build you up to it. You've just gotta start. #progress #beforeafter #walkinglunges #regressions #welldone #personaltrainer

12.01.2022 Saturday morning crew at #croydon MPT!

10.01.2022 New year, new attitude. The virus hasn’t gone away, but let’s work around it, focus on our health and be the best version of ourselves. Motivation will only last so long; set goals and throw yourselves into your health....now more than ever!

05.01.2022 WHO’S JOINING US?? MELBOURNE MARATHON, OCTOBER 10TH MPT will taking a team to the Melbourne Marathon with training programs and group training sessions to complete either the 5km, 10km, 21km or 42km run in October.... Whether you are fairly new to running and wanting to compete in your first event, or have done a few and ready to increase your intensity and level, then we would love to have you on board. We have trained groups before for a number of events (e.g. City to Surf), and I can honestly say it has been ones of the highlights of our time being a trainer. Seeing members complete goals they never once thought they could, and the camaraderie of training together as a team. Such a fun experience. Details will be out soon, but comment below or send us a msg if you are potentially interested and you will receive the info as soon as it is released. Also, we have had a few people say they would be keen to do some triathlon too, so we will also be taking a group through to complete in a shorter triathlon (more details to come soon), but the distance will be (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) and for race day either 28th nov or 12th dec. #setgoals #melbournemarathon #running #run #joinus

04.01.2022 2020 THAT’S A WRAP Well another year down, and there’s no denying what a whirlwind, rollercoaster it was. We saw the birth of our baby girl, Mya, in January, and then things took a spin.... Spending 2/3 of the year in an online setting, we adapted, pivoted and did the best we could to keep our members motivated and moving whilst in one of the world’s strictest lockdowns in Melbourne. We made the decision to close to our Brunswick East location, to focus more on our Croydon and Rowville clubs and on our family (it’s hard managing three clubs all at once with a newborn). It wasn’t what we imagined, but we made it and cannot wait to see what 2021 has to offer. We will be starting the year off with a bang, bringing back our very successful 28 day transformation challenge. First start date is Jan 11th. To all of our team, members and those who support our clubs, thanks for sticking by us. You support does not go unnoticed and we appreciate you all. Wishing you all a very safe and happy New Years and cannot wait to see you on the other side #seeya2020

04.01.2022 Our 28 day challenge begins this Monday. And whilst it took longer than 28 days for one of our members to achieve this result.

02.01.2022 The REVERSE HYPEREXTENSION This machine is the real deal, and we have one available for use in our open gym at our Croydon facility. Louie Simmons first used the reverse hyperextension machine to rehabilitate back injuries. Today, it’s now also used to increase the strength of athletes, increasing their squat and deadlift weights significantly (and improving so many other lifts). Our open gym is currently being test driven by our current 12 week challenge members, but it w...ill be open in 5 weeks time to everyone else. For more information on pricing and availability, please text 0432 878 705. In the mean time, here is what Charles Poliquin (world renowed strength coach) has to say about the reverse hyperextension: "The reverse hyper machine is also excellent for improving posture and correcting abnormal pelvic tilt, which can immediately give the illusion of a flattened abdomen wall. One of the consequences of having weak erector spinae muscles is the development of a posture in which the upper back is rounded, causing the shoulders to droop forward and the chest to appear sunken. In order to maintain the center of gravity for this type of incorrect posture, the pelvis begins to thrust forward, ultimately causing a distended lower abdomen. This condition is often referred to as a kyphosis-lordosis posture. Together, the glutes, hamstrings, and erector spinae form what kinesiologists call the posterior chain. The posterior chain is responsible for allowing you to run at high speed, or to jump either forward or vertically. For example, in the vertical jump, the posterior chain contributes to 80% of the power output. So don’t waste your time on quads and calves development if you want rapid increases in your vertical jump. The reverse hyper machine will allow one to work the posterior chain in a synchronized manner. Back extensions would target the same muscle group, but not in the same recruitment pattern. Another disadvantage of movements like back extensions is the dizziness associated with their performance" @s@strength_sensei_inc @fernmalcolm #reversehyper #strongback #reversehyperextension #backday #posteriorchain @shanuk.rubera
