Over the weekend I played around with a different protein source, seitan. My recipe is pretty straightforward... i browned the seitan in a little olive oil for a few minutes adding some spices like black pepper, salt, parsley and some special spices I brought home from Morocco 🇲🇦. I then mixed in precooked veggies like zucchini, asparagus, spaghetti squash as well as sweet potato chunks 😋 My verdict on seitan, I liked it. The look and texture was similar to chicken but not quite. The taste is hard for me to compare to anything else. If you are vegan, vegetarian or just looking to try a plant based protein source give it a try! _____________ A little more about seitan: A 3oz serving of seitan is approximately 21g protein 4g carbs 2g fat. While seitan is high in protein, it is not a complete protein on its own—- it is missing 1 essential amino acid (lysine). Seitan is one of the few meat substitute products that does not contain soy. And lastly, seitan is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance as it is made from wheat gluten. 🙂 Flex Friday Video of the Day....

I picked this up from a colleague at work. If you have an adhesion/knot that you can’t reach, a sock can help! Place a massage ball, tennis ball, lacrosse or squash ball in a sock and now you have a handle to help you control where you want to perform your myofascial trigger point massage. ☺️ Hope this helps! ——————— “SMR stands for self-myofascial release, a method of eliminating/easing trigger points and restoring tissue integrity and normal function. So what does SMR actually mean? First take the term fascia, this is basically a layer of connective tissue that we have surrounding the muscles (that ’s where the ‘myo’ bit comes in). Its main aim is to give a layer of support and protection to the muscles and the body in general and covers most of the body. The traditional view regarding this tissue is that it is a passive tissue that transmits forces and tension around the body and holds us together. So basically what we are working with is the self-release of tension in the connective tissue.” Good morning 😆 Here’s a full body workout using TRX straps. These four moves hit abs, chest, back, biceps, triceps, quads and hamstrings! Full length versions of each exercise along with instructions will be added to my website this week! Try them out. 1.
