Forget the scales!!! Here's the proof! - The Fitness Formula

Forget the scales!!! Here’s the proof!

If there’s one thing I want to be my legacy one day as a ‘good’ coach, it will be to convince as many people as possible to stop measuring their health / progress purely by weighing themselves!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been changing up my own personal training and tracking the results.

I urge you to watch this quick video as it may just change your whole outlook on what ‘progress’ looks like!

What’s Cooking Wednesday

😋🍍This recipe comes together fast, which makes it a great weeknight choice – and it’s also perfect if you’re entertaining.

Serve it with a side of quinoa/rice and a salad!

🍋Quick tip: microwave the lemon for 20-30 seconds before juicing – you’ll get more juice from it that way!

🍍SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PINEAPPLE
(Serves 3-4)

● 450 g scallops
● 1 tsp red chilli pepper flakes
● Salt & pepper to taste (1-2 dashes)
● 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
● 165 g fresh pineapple, chopped
● 160 ml low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
● Juice of 1 lemon
● 2 cloves chopped garlic
● salt and pepper

Season scallops with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes.

In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it begins to simmer. It’s hot enough when a drop of water sizzles when added to the pan.

Add the scallops and sear on both sides until they are golden brown (flip them only once to avoid overcooking or becoming dry). Remove from the pan.

Add the garlic and cook for 60 seconds, and then add the lemon juice. Simmer until it reduces and then add the pineapple, stirring well to coat, and cook until it’s warm.

Place the scallops on a serving dish and pour the pineapple mixture over the scallops.

Serve and enjoy!

🍍 FOOD OF THE WEEK – PINEAPPLE 🍍 🤓 FOO

🍍 FOOD OF THE WEEK – PINEAPPLE 🍍

🤓 FOOD TRIVIA! Did you know that a pineapple is actually a bunch of smaller fruits tightly packed together?

😋 These fruits aren’t just sweet – they are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes.

😋 They also contain bromelain, a digestive enzyme that performs important functions in the body.

🔥 Among its many health benefits, pineapple helps boost your immune system, appears to fight inflammation, and contains compounds that ease arthritis pain, as well as help speed up recovery post-surgery and post-workout!

✅ Try stirring pineapple chunks into Greek yoghurt. So good!

➡The big question today is: How do you like your pineapple? (On a pizza??!!!)

DEAD HANGS 💪 Who knew holding your own bodywei

DEAD HANGS 💪

Who knew holding your own bodyweight could be so tough?! 🔥

⭐️ Grasp the pull up bar
⭐️ Ensure your arms are straight (you should not feel any muscle lat engagement)
⭐️ Relax your body while you hang (try to avoid swinging)

If you’re new to this move, start by hanging for 5 seconds, before resetting and hanging again 👌

Aim to gradually build up your hang time to 1 minute solid 👏

You’ve got this 😁

🔥📢 WEEKLY CHALLENGE! 📢🔥 ⚡ When was

🔥📢 WEEKLY CHALLENGE! 📢🔥

⚡ When was the last time you ate a plant-based diet for an entire day?

Are you ready to try an experiment?! I hope so – because the challenge this week is to eat a MEATLESS DIET for *at least* one day!

✅ This means no beef, pork, chicken, fish or game meat. It’s up to you if you want to include dairy and eggs in your challenge, too.

Going meatless has a lot of potential benefits for you, your well-being, and it’s also good for the earth.

💡You’ve heard of Meatless Mondays, right? Fun fact: the tradition actually began more than 100 years ago, during World War I, as a way to conserve resources during wartime.

Meatless Mondays were revived almost two decades ago – in 2003 – as a way to improve vitality (both for people and the planet).

💪🏾 Here are a few potential nutrition benefits:

✅ Eating less meat and more plant-based foods is good for your heart and shows a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
✅ Subbing plant-based foods for meat can help with weight management.
✅ Eating more plants means more fibre, which studies show most of us don’t get enough of.
🌎 A few benefits for the environment:

✅ Producing 115 g of beef uses enough water to fill 10 bathtubs *and* enough energy to power an iPhone for 6 months.

✅ Skipping 1 serving of beef once a week for a year saves the equivalent emissions of driving 348 miles in a car.

⁉ Are you in for at least one meatless day? Will this be a big change for you? Let us know in the comments! 👇🏾👇🏾
