Recipe of the month
My favourite recipe this month has got to be the easy to make wild salmon fillet dish below.
It’s quite easy to cook and it’s also relatively quick too so it’s perfect for after a workout when your muscles are screaming for replenishment!
This recipe is high in Omega 3’s, Protein and with the accompanying Quinoa and Broccoli full of slow digesting, starchy carbohydrates.
Ingredients
¼ cup of low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
A pinch of garlic powder
¼ tbsp chilli powder
2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander (or ½ tbsp coriander paste)
½ tbsp of natural peanut butter
Instructions
Pour mixture into a sandwich/freezer bag with the wild salmon fillet
Let the marinating fillet sit in the fridge for approximately 2-3 hours to settle
Pan fry using a little cooking oil until its fully cooked turning only once
Serve with steamed broccoli and quinoa
Exercise of the month
My favourite exercise this month has got be the kettlebell snatch to overhead lunge it has been a staple in most of my conditioning workouts recently as it requires a lot of synergy between body parts and requires strength, power, balance, core stability and cardiovascular fitness.
This exercise can be used as part of a kettlebell/conditioning circuit or as a standalone straight set exercise.
Execution of exercise
Start with your feet shoulder width distance apart and keep your knees slightly bent.Perform a high pull movement to break the kettlebells inertia.
As the kettlebell reaches waist height, start to squat and try to get lower than the kettlebell.
Let the momentum carry the kettlebell upwards and start to roll the wrist outwards as it reaches shoulder level.
As the kettlebell rolls around the wrist punch the kettlebell upwards.
Once the kettlebell is overhead, take one large step forwards and drop your back knee until it is around one inch above the floor.
At the bottom of the lunge position make sure both your knees are at 90 degrees , pause for a second then reverse the process to come back to standing.
Train Smart, Train Hard!
