A new Twist on the Paleo Pancakce

OMG! Healthy Paleo Pancakes
Ok most of you know the Paleo pancake – eggs, banana and [optional] protein powder/ coconut flour
Well I don’t like banana – well actually it’s the other way around they don’t like me!! So I needed to find a substitute.

Avocado – ok I can hear you all shouting at me AVOCADO!! But YES, it is amazing and your pancake tastes fantastic.
Plus coconut cream – so good almost too good to be healthy

• ½ avocado [treat as if banana] and mash up
• 1 egg [full]
• 1 serving spoon of protein powder [preference plant based like Raw Fusion / Sun Warrior]
• Or
• Coconut flour – Your choice
• Coconut cream [the milk that settles to the top of the can]

Mix all in a large bowl –
Butter on the pan – pour your mix on [for 1 large pancake] wait till it slides on the pan and turn over

You can add fruit on top if you wish – my preference is wild blueberries [great from the freezer section of your supermarket]

This will keep you full for most of your day – full of healthy fats for satiety.

Apologies the pic is not a picture of my pancake this am – I eat it so fast didn’t get a photo!!!

Remember ageing is inevitable – how you age is your daily choice – you are what you eat, drink and do! – so come on be healthy and Age Epic!!

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer Here's a great quiz question what does Lady Gaga and the London Irish rugby team have in common ? would you believe it they both practice Pilates on the Reformer!!! Lady Gaga on the Reformer - article in the DailyMail Pilates is called the Pilates System because it is designed around 7 pieces of equipment – one of which is the Pilates Reformer – sometimes described as a Reformer bed, perhaps eluding to it’s origins as a 3ft single bed in an internment camp on the Isle of Man, where Joseph Pilates spent much of the 1 st WW and insisted that all the inmates perform daily movements utilizing their bed springs! In my opinion the Reformer stands out on its own from the other pieces for its versatility While BODYFIRM [est 1998] have always had a fully equip studio [reformer, trap table, barrels etc] most people are more familiar with Mat Pilates, however in the last few years more studios have opened in Dubl...

Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with - the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise system Tabata – What is it? Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results - he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it wor...
