Add some flavor to your tuna fish without the excess fat!!

I’m a big fan of tuna fish. It is one of my quick go to protein sources. But as you know tuna fish can be quite bland on its own and especially when eaten straight out the can. I personally like to add some spice to my tuna. Having moved to the US and adjusting to the changes of not having certain things that you are used to in the UK was not easy. But having searched high and low and experimenting. I managed to find this great addition for my tuna. Organic Sweet pickle relish by Trader Joes I’ve found to be the best way to give my tuna a bit of spice. One tablespoon of relish and a sprinkling of fresh ground black peppercorn does the job!

If you are someone who cannot tolerate tuna fish because of the taste or you are looking to give your tuna a bit of kick without excessive calories I would recommend giving this a try… you might just like it.

 

Why single leg exercises should be a part of your strength training plan!

 

 

I’m a strong believer in unilateral or single leg strength exercises. I always have them programmed into my personal workout plan as well as my clients that I train. Step ups, Lunges, Split squats with feet elevated, Single leg Romanian Deadlifts are some single leg exercises that can be very challenging, but offer great results! Here are some of the benefits you get from single leg training:

·         Helps prevent injury by developing the stabilizers and small muscle groups that you can’t hit with standard two legged exercises.

 

·         More muscle growth and strength as it engages more muscles.

 

·         It can be more functional as it balances strength so you can sprint, change direction and produce force equally on both sides of your body.

 

·         Less loading of your spine if you are somebody who has back issues.

Start incorporating single leg work in your workout plan today and reap all the benefits as well as developing a bullet proof lower body.
