25.01.2022 Welcome to Well Being Wednesday- Do you feel a bit flat during training? Wish you had an injection of energy to push harder and feel stronger? If you answered yes, then it might be a good idea to pay some attention to your pre-training nutrition Eating foods containing carbohydrates before training has consistently shown to enhance training performance So to get more out of your body try a easily digested carbohydrate snack 1-2 hours before you train. We love:... Slice of w/meal toast/crumpet or muffin with honey Pikelets with jam + piece fruit Bowl cornflakes with milk Slice raisin toast + banana Fruit smoothie/glass juice Try the Milo & Banana Shake or Milo Bliss Ball recipe featured in the latest edition of Sports Dietitian Australia Refuel Magazine Big thanks to member Sally Hanks- Accredited Practising Dietitian Ocean Grove Allied Health & Drysdale Village Medical Centre Ocean Grove 52562019 Drysdale 52531002 bodywisenutrition.com.au Mobile 0400396917 https://www.facebook.com/bodywisenutrition/ #wellbeing #wellbeingwednesday #connecting #fun #challenge #diet #energy #nutrition #inspired #activelife #fitness #friends #family #training #surfclub #performance #carbohydrates #bodyweight #strength #endurance @a_guide_to_oceangrove

19.01.2022 Dont let COVID-19 stand in the way of your Professional Development and Training! Earlier in the year the Public Training Team at Life Saving Victoria announced the release of CPR@Home and First Aid@Home training courses designed specifically to adapt to the increase in remote workplaces across the state. With restrictions meaning many people are spending more time at home than ever before, now is the perfect time to complete these courses and learn the vital skills that yo...u may one day need to save a life. These courses will enable Victorians to complete or update their CPR (HLTAID001) and First Aid (HLTAID003) qualifications from the comfort and convenience of their own home and will help to ensure that organisations dont return to work with a backlog of staff needing to update training. Organisations can prepare remote workforces for their return to onsite business while still allowing candidates to complete their courses individually. LSV has already had more than 600 candidates enrol in remote delivery accredited training with organisations, many from essential services, looking for ways to ensure their staff feel safe to train. The adapted courses are fully accredited and meet both workplace and legislative requirements. The courses make use of online learning to deliver theory training, and new instructional video demonstrations will guide individuals through their practical assessment tasks. Complete the online learning and theory exam; Watch the practical assessment videos; Film yourself completing the practical assessments (using the equipment delivered); Submit your assessment evidence to LSV. All the resuscitation and first aid equipment you need will be delivered to your door and remain yours to keep so you can practice anytime. Our committed customer service team and qualified trainers are on hand to support you, as you progress through the course at your own pace. With feedback like this from our candidates there is no reason to hesitate. For more information contact (03) 96767 6955. To book into an upcoming course today go to https://training.lsv.com.au/

16.01.2022 We are guessing that there are some of you that may be questioning what your training for right now when our competition season may be delayed and some competit...ions have already been cancelled. Ask 86 year old Billy Ryan from Coolangatta SLSC what he thinks of why we train. Billy trains everyday on average doing 2 sometimes 3 sessions each day. A typical day in Billys life would be a board paddle from Coolangatta to North Kirra followed by a 2.5km beach run, then board paddle back to Coolangatta again. Throw in a gym session sometimes a 15km bike ride from Coolangatta to Currumbin or a slow sand run or pool session. Keep training because you want to keep your mind healthy , keep training because you want to improve, be stronger and get better at what you do. Keep training because you want to be ready for a season whatever that is going to look like or whenever its going to be. Be like Billy..... just keep training because its what you do #belikebilly ( pics with Billy and his brand new board he took delivery of this week) See more

15.01.2022 Meditation, Mindfulness and Mindlessness! Interested in finding your calm or losing your mind? Read on for some hints. The practice of meditation and mindfulness has been scientifically proven to assist people with helping relieve stress, lower blood pressure, improve sleep, and may contribute to an overall sense of wellness and assist in improving mental health. As little as a few minutes a day can be very effective, and it can be used from young children through to adult...s. In contrast the act of mindlessness has recently began to be discussed in mental health fields as a practice that can be incorporated into your overall mental health and wellbeing. The ability or intention to do nothing, to daydream, to watch a sunset, lay on the couch and dream or stare into space. Its giving yourself permission sometimes just to take time out and do nothing, try it!. Below are several links to free resources that will help you start your journey with meditation and mindfulness. There are many more resources available online, but these are a great start and are free. As for mindlessness just take some time out and turn off the on switch, it can be empowering.

07.01.2022 Another awesome Well Being Wednesday Nutrition post from Member & Accredited Practising Dietitian Sally Hanks Do you train or exercise in on consecutive days? If that’s a YES then listen up.. Refueling your body with good food will result in quicker recovery from training and an increased performance at your next session. Recovery nutrition should happen ideally within 30-60 min of finishing your training and should consist of meals or snacks that combine carbohydrates and ...protein So if its breakfast after an early morning swim or dinner after iron training then keep some of these ideas top of mind- Baked beans on toast + glass milk Weet-bix + milk/yogurt + tinned peaches Shushi hand roll salmon, ck, tuna Beef stir fry + rice Vegie burger + salad + w/grain roll Tuna casserole with pasta and veg Fried rice + fried egg If you’re travelling or dinner is just not ready in time, try these quick convenient options- Bircher muesli prepared the night before Fruit smoothie Banana + yogurt Dried fruit and nut mix Cheese sandwich Trail Mix recovery bar (see recipe below from Sports Dietitians Australia ReFuel Magazine) Trail Mix Recovery Bar Recipe Ingredients 4 cups of mixed nuts or trail mix (I usually do a 50/50 mix so its higher in nuts and seeds) 3 eggs 3 tablespoons of coconut flour 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips Method 1. Pre heat oven to 180c. Line a small square slice tin with baking paper. 2. Roughly chop the trail mix and nuts 3. Mix nuts, eggs and coconut flour together and press into the slice tray. Sprinkle with chocolate chips on top 4. Bake for 20 minutes until just browned on the top. Allow to cool fully and slice into bars. Allow to cool fully and slice into bars 5. Store in an air-tight container for 5 days or freeze 6.
