Knees over toes? “My PT says it’s wrong”...

Knees over toes? “My PT says it’s wrong”... That is outdated...

Do you try to restrict your movement when lunging? Well, don’t! 🙅🙅‍♂️

It is simply a myth that your knee can’t go over your toes. One general tip when performing lunges is to keep the knee moving in the same direction as the ankle joint. 🦵🏽

Lunges can help train movement patterns for our daily activities including climbing stairs and kneeling.

Does pasta affect fat loss?🍝😱 Say it isn’t

Does pasta affect fat loss?🍝😱 Say it isn’t so!

Well, it isn’t so - stress less! Just like every food and carb source, your fat loss will not be affected as long as you are eating in a calorie deficit🤩

No foods are ‘off-limits’ when you are in a deficit, it is more about eating in moderation while fuelling your body by making more nutritious and calorie-conscious decisions on what you are going to eat to ensure you hit your macros and reach your calories!

Don’t stress, you can still have your pasta and eat it too!👩🏼‍🍳

What’s the best way to improve your pull ups?🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

Whilst it is true that to get better at pull ups, you need to do them in your training… consistently, you also need to train the same muscles and improve their strength and mobility!

Lat pulldowns and seated rows, banded or cable, are great options for you if you can’t get your pull ups just yet as they are targeting the same muscle groups as your pull does!💪🏼

Another great option is to use an assisted pull up machine or perform banded pull ups to allow you to still perform the same movement and get stronger but also allow you to actually perform the complete exercise!

Is how you’re cooking your veggies affecting the nutritional value of them?🥒

Did you ever think there could be a superior way to prepare your veggies to optimise their nutritional value? Well, there kind of is…🫕

It’s now understood, through research from the University of California Davis, that up to 55& of vitamin C can be lost in certain vegetables (like broccoli and carrots🥕) when they are boiled - this is why you see the water change colour!

With that being said, it doesn’t mean everything should be eaten raw! Studies do show that cooking veggies actually helps your body absorb and digest the nutrients easier than they do when you eat them raw.🥗

So, what are the most superior ways to prepare your vegetables? It shows that steaming, slow cooking, and baking are the most optimal options for keeping nutrients in!💪🏽

In the greater scheme of things, eating any vegetables at all, no matter how you prepare them, is going to be great for your mind and body. Prepare them how you want, as long as you actually eat them.🍽
