What Is Your Favourite Post-Workout Meal?

We all know it’s best to have a healthy snack after working out. Studies have shown that eating a small meal of protein and healthy carbs helps increase the benefits of your workout and speeds up the fat loss process.

Mine is a delicious protein shake smoothie. Take a small banana, a scoop of vanilla-flavoured protein powder (we like Ladybird Figuretone 100% Whey), a few ice cubes and a cup of water, and blend! It’s a sweet, frothy, filling post-workout drink that feeds the muscles and replaces fluids. Give it a try!

So what’s your favourite post workout meal?

What Is Your Favourite Exercise?

I was talking with a training client today and we got into an interesting conversation about her favorite exercise.  It was kind of fun learning about her preferences, likes and dislikes.  So I wanted to open this up a bit and ask you… what’s your favorite exercise and why?

Here at Fitgirls we just LOVE core strength exercises. It improves balance, back pain and creates a mean six pack (who cares if it hidden by a little padding?!).

Try a Fitball Crunch for tightening that core. Take a fitball, lie with it in the small of your back, and slowly raise your shoulder blades off the ball. Keep your eyes and chin pointing towards the celing to prevent crunching your neck. Slowly lower to the start position. Repeat 12-15 times.
