Health it up
++ This year we've put a lot of focus on our health and fitness. We + wanted to share a few of the things that we've found and like to + use to feel really good. +
Yoga
++ We started doing yoga over 2 years ago and it's become something + that we always come back to when things are tough and we need to + regroup and relax. + The best resource we've found is a YouTube channel called + Boho Beautiful. + Don't let the name put you off. This channel is run by a couple who + have a huge variety of very high quality yoga and fitness videos for + any situation and focus. Their style and language does take a bit + of getting used to, but their content is always just what we need. +
++ Here is a small selection of videos that are perfect for getting + started and feeling the benefit of yoga straight away. +
+Workouts
++ +
+ ++ Juice and Toya produce really good workout videos. They + are simple and easy to follow with no distractions, so + you can set them going and listen/watch something else + while you do it. +
++ Madfit is a good channel for all sorts of work out videos + both with and without equipment. She has very good advice + and often gives helpful tips for keeping good form. +
++ The workouts done by Boho Beautiful are very creative + and very engaging. These are tough workouts but they + challenge you in a good way. Most of the work outs + require no equipment. Chris likes to do this one + when we are on holiday. +
+Protein powder
+
+ 
+ We've been using protein powder for a while now and it really
+ does wonders to overall health and fitness. Chris likes to
+ have it in his cereal every morning and Maria uses all sorts
+ of different protein powder in her recipes.
+ However it is very difficult to find the right one. We've
+ tried several different brands and they've all either had
+ a weird texture, not mixed well, had an after taste, etc.
+ However this year we finally found the perfect one, at least
+ for us, as a shake (or to have in cereal).
+ Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder is the
+ best we've seen. It mixes super easily, it has a great taste,
+ and it comes in a bunch of flavours. If you're on the look
+ out for some protein powder we highly recommend this.
+

+ Arcane
+Available on Netflix
++ A gritty fantasy steampunk show loosely based on the + video game League of Legends. This show has a really + engaging story and beautiful art style. +
+
+ Lower decks
+Available on Prime Video
++ Even if you're not a Star Trek fan, this show is + packed with loveable characters and fun light + hearted humour. +
++ Warning: occasional animated violence and "mature" humour. +
+The Australian Open Final
++ We couldn't help but mention the most amazing thing + that happened in tennis in 2022. + Right at the start of the year in one of the biggest + tennis tournaments of the year, The Australian Open, + was coming to a close. + Two giants of the sport Daniil Medvedev and Rafael + Nadal were set to play it out in the finals with + what would prove to be the most gruelling and + entertaining match of the year. + We don't want to spoil it for you if your haven't + seen the results. So if you did want to talk about + it or hear our thoughts then let us know. It gets + pretty crazy! +
