<h2>Health it up</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
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.
|
||||

|
||||
<h3>Yoga</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
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.</br>
|
||||
The best resource we've found is a YouTube channel called
|
||||
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@bohobeautiful" target="_blank">Boho Beautiful</a>.
|
||||
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.</br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here is a small selection of videos that are perfect for getting
|
||||
started and feeling the benefit of yoga straight away.

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.

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.

<h3>Protein powder</h3>

|
||||
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.</br>
|
||||
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).</br>
|
||||
<a href="https://www.optimumnutrition.com/en-gb/Products/Protein/Shakes-%26-Powders/Gold-Standard-100%25-Whey-Protein-/p/gold-standard-100-whey-protein" target="_blank">Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder</a> 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.

tennis tournaments of the year, The Australian Open,

was coming to a close.</br>

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.</br>

We don't want to spoil it for you if your haven't

it or hear our thoughts then let us know. It gets
