Just a reminder that some monthly payments are now due,
If your sessions fall between Wednesday 9th September and Wednesday 23rd (that is including those two dates), those sessions need taking out of your monthly prepayment because I am on holiday for two weeks.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Protein Matilda microwave cake.

10g protein powder
30g Flour
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
60ml skimmed milk
15g pistachio spread (or spread of choice)
2 drops Myprotein white chocolate flavour drops

I used 3XP chocolate hazelnut protein powder by Protein Dynamix (you can use whatever protein you want but it will slightly change macros)
Mix the flour, protein, bicarb and milk together until it is smooth and microwave for 1minute.

Once the cake is out of the microwave, melt the spread and pour over the cake.

This cake was 247 calories and 14g protein.

Boxing-specific strength training 🥊💪

A strength programme for a boxer isn’t always going to look like a typical weights session at the gym.

The goal isn’t simply to lift as much weight as possible, it’s to develop strength that supports your boxing.

For example, instead of always using a barbell bench press, I might use dumbbell chest press.

Why? Dumbbells allow each arm to work independently, encourage greater control and stability, and can help address strength imbalances, all while still developing the pressing strength we want.

Other exercises may also be selected or modified to work on things like:

🥊 Rotational strength
🥊 Stability and balance
🥊 Explosive power
🥊 Unilateral strength
🥊 Core strength and control
🥊 Shoulder health
🥊 Strength through boxing-specific positions and movements

That doesn’t mean traditional exercises like squats, deadlifts and bench press are bad for boxers. Far from it.

It’s about choosing the right exercises, variations, loads and training methods for the athlete and their goals.

A good boxing strength programme should complement your boxing, not leave you so battered from the gym that you can’t perform in the ring. 🥊

Strength training for boxing isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about getting stronger in a way that helps you box better.

Small changes can make a BIG difference! 💪🔥

Your N.E.A.T. is all the movement you do outside of sleeping, eating and exercising and increasing it is a simple way to become more active throughout the day.

🚶‍♀️ Walk more
🪜 Take the stairs
📺 Move during TV adverts
⏰ Try the 30/60 rule at your desk
🍳 Walk on the spot while cooking

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym to move more, just look for opportunities to get your body moving! 👊

Don’t forget I’m away from 9th September for 2 weeks. This means no 1:1s and no class.

It won’t be all fun and games for me though, I’m still doing bits of training and having to take some travel scales 👊🏻🤪

Make sure you change any monthly prepayments accordingly.

🥪 Why do we demonise the humble sandwich?

Somehow, sandwiches have got a reputation for being an “unhealthy” choice… but it really depends on what you put in it.

A sandwich can be:
✅ High in protein
✅ Packed with vegetables
✅ A good source of fibre
✅ Balanced with carbs, protein and fats
✅ Quick, convenient and filling

Think wholegrain bread + chicken/turkey/tuna/eggs + salad + a sensible spread or sauce. That can make a perfectly nutritious, satisfying meal.

You don’t need to avoid bread to eat well. You don’t need to label foods as “good” or “bad”.

It’s the overall meal and your overall diet that matters , not the fact that it happens to be a sandwich. 🥪💪

Stop demonising food. Start looking at the bigger picture.
