The Kitchen, a place to reconnect with our bodies, strengthen bonds with family, teach life skills to our children and nourish our soul. Often no matter how shrewd we are about our meals, sometimes we crave fast food or sometimes we think it’s a quicker or cheaper option. But ordering takeaway meals that have high calorie content because they are full of hidden salt, sugars and additives (the reasons why we like them so much) will leave us feeling sluggish and lead us down the path of an unhealthy lifestyle.

Is it possible to recreate nutritious fast food/ takeaway favou-rites at home? Of course it is! The solution is in our shopping trolley, our fridge and our pantry. Being able to recreate takeaway favourites that are quick and easy and above all healthy and nutritious depends on what we purchase from the supermarket and our local grocer. Italian, Mexican, Asian or Indian flavoured meals can be created just by keeping a variety of fresh herbs and spices available on hand in our kitchen.

Recreating these meals in a timely fashion only requires the help from appliances like stick blenders and food processors. These miracle workers can save you time in chopping up your vegeta-bles and whipping up sauces and pastes quicker than it would take you to pick up the phone and order in! Creating your own sauces, bases and condiments is more rewarding and results in healthier dishes packed with more flavour and nutrients and you will also be avoiding questionable ingredients that are added to takeaway meals.

There is nothing more satisfying than a meal loaded with fresh produce and a well stocked fridge will always give you the opportunity to throw together a quick ‘fast food’ type meal. Stir fries are an excellent example of quick healthy meals you can whip up whenever you like. Getting to know your Asian greens as they are packed with nutrients and inexpensive for example Bok Choy, Gai lan (Chinese broccoli) and Choy sum, will give your takeaway inspired meal that authentic touch of Asia.

Let’s face it being organised is the secret to success in all areas of our life and we should not stop in the kitchen. Once a week or month, plan to cook a few batches of your favourite meals and store each portion size into your freezer. Meals like butter chicken, bolognaise or any soups or stews can be prepared, frozen, defrosted and reheated delivering super fast food whenever you need it.

AVOID TAKEAWAY TEMPTATION MEAL BY MEAL

BREAKFASTl Soak oats or chia seeds overnight in milk, fresh juice and/or grated fruits to create Bircher style muesli or puddings that you can just take out of the fridge, top with some fresh fruit and yoghurt and eat on the go.l Scrambled eggs take no time to cook at all. Use a non-stick fry pan and scramble an egg or two in about 2 minutes. Add to a wholegrain wrap with some baby spinach, avocado, salt and pepper and roll up for a savoury breaky burrito.l Make your own muesli by combining oats, chopped nuts, dried fruits and seeds, and store in an airtight container in the pantry. Serve with milk, yoghurt and sliced fresh fruit, and you have a healthy version of packaged cereal.

LUNCHl Making lunch the night before will save you loads of time in the morning if you have to go to work or in the middle of day when you’re busy.l Use a lunchbox with different compartments that you can add a variety of healthy foods to e.g. veggie sticks, fruit, wholegrain crackers, cheese slices, cooked chicken, salad etc.l Prepare the main parts of recipes, like the “Letturger” patties or the marinated Tandoori chicken from the October 28 Day Challenge, a few days before you plan to eat them and then you can just assemble everything at lunch time.l Make salads the night before and enjoy for lunch with some pre-ccoked chicken or tinned tuna or salmon. Make a dressing of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and place in a little container so you can just pour over when ready to eat.l Sandwiches and wraps can often go soggy if made too far ahead of time so place all the components in your lunchbox the night before and store in the fridge so you can just quickly assemble when ready to eat.

If meal prep is really easy then you’ll be less likely to want to reach for the phone or drive through the local fast food shop to order takeaway. Here are some easy tips to help you avoid takeaway options for every meal of the day:

DINNERl The main way to avoid takeaway at dinner time, after a long day, is to be pre-pared. If you’ve already planned what you are going to eat for most of your dinners during the week, then stick to that plan.l Shop for your prepared meal plan and then you have no reason to say “I don’t have the ingredients to make a healthy meal so I’d better order takeaway.”l Setting aside time to make meals in bulk and freeze into portions is the ultimate takeaway avoidance method. As pulling something out of the freezer, defrosting and reheating is faster than ordering takeaway. Freeze pasta sauces, soups, stews and curries laid flat in zip lock bags, so you have lots of room to store them in the freezer but also to make defrosting time faster.

FROM CHALLENGE FITNESS EXPERT MARISSA NIEVES

Just like we don’t always need to order takeaway meals, you don’t always have to do your workouts away from home at a special venue like a gym or specific fitness class. The great news is, walk-ing workouts can be done anywhere anytime and may even be done without leaving the comfort of your home! We often walk on a daily basis without thinking, sometimes thousands of steps per day. Whether you are in and around your home or out and about walking in nature, there are great benefits to simply walking!

Many people walk to lose weight, maintain a healthy heart, tone muscles, increase metabolism, strengthen immune system, increase energy, stabilise sleep patterns, reduce stress, improve cogni-tive function, increase mood, reduce risk of high blood pressure and cholesterol.

It is possible to step up your walk into a powerful workout simply by adding dif-ferent elements or changing your routine a little. Try these 5 ways to turn your walk into a workout:

1CIRCUIT WALKCombine your Healthy Mummy 28 Day Challenge workouts with a love-

ly walk in the garden and you have your-self a powerful circuit-walking workout! Walk at a moderate speed for 2-3 min-utes, then stop and perform one exercise from your Healthy Mummy program (i.e. moderate walk 2 mins. overhead jacks 2 mins). Next walk a little faster at a higher speed for 2 minutes, then stop and per-form your next exercise (i.e. high speed walk 2 mins. push ups 2 minutes). Slow down the next circuit to get your breath back and then increase again on the next one. These are super powerful workouts that can help to increase your cardio-vascular capacity and strength in a short period of time.

2 CHI WALK Chi Walking is based on mindful principles that are applied to your

5 WAYS TO TURN YOUR WALK INTO A WORKOUT

daily walk. It is focused on core strength, alignment, awareness and posture and can help with strengthening the crucial core muscles that are weakened during pregnancy. As you walk, focus your energy on your core muscles in the abdomen. Relax through your limbs and walk in a straight line in front of you, each step just ahead of the other. Keep your glide soft and your head up, shoulders in neutral alignment and be mindful of your balance as you move. If you are in your garden, take in the colours of the flowers around you, take deep breaths and feel the wind in your hair. Chi walking is used for reducing stress, relaxing tight muscles, improving circulation, correcting postural imbalances and increasing overall energy or Chi flow through the body.

3NATURE WALKTaking to different terrain can help to engage muscles you don’t usually

use, plus it can give you a good dose of nature time which helps to dramatically reduce stress. Many of us have interesting walking trails in our community and often you can even choose one that suits your fitness level. Start with your heels on the

ground, then roll forward onto one ball and toe, pushing off to propel yourself forward and lengthen your stride. Move your arms forward and back in a swinging motion, so your torso and hips work to help propel your body. Remember to wear walking shoes that will help with ankle stability and workout wear that supports the environment you choose.

4WATER WALKWater walking is easy on the joints, great for flexibility and is a pow-

erful fat burner. It can be done in either shallow or deep water and both walking and jogging are very popular among pool workouts. Enjoy using your home pool for some interesting workout fun or go down to the local pool with your friend or spouse. Move your body by swinging your arms and walking or jogging forward in a straight or curved line. If you’re keen to step it up, perform backward running or side steps to increase strength and cardiovascular endurance.

5 INTERVAL WALKCreating short intervals in your walking

routine is a perfect way to improve cardiovascular function, increase strength and endurance and burn more calories. You may like to start at a slower paced slow/moderate walk for 2 minutes, then increase your speed to a moderate/fast paced walk for 2 minutes. Swing your arms to aid balance and propulsion and feel your heart rate rise. If you want to pick up the pace, move your fast paced walk into a slow jog for 2 minutes, then slow to a moderate walk for 2 minutes. Repeat this 10 times and you have created a powerful interval walk workout!

5 FAST & FOCUSED TUMMY TAMING TIPSThe October Challenge includes exercise routines with a focus on trimming tummy fat and here Marissa Nieves provides some of her top tips for how you can beat the belly bulge with fitness:

Finding time to fit in regular exercise can seem daunting with the long list of responsibilities and tasks many Mums have. But fitting in some time to focus on taming your tummy bulge only requires a few minutes everyday with these easy tips:

Here are 5 fast and focused tummy taming tips:

1. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY - If you need extra sleep, don’t push yourself, listen to what your body needs. We all know sleep is important for a variety of health reasons but it also helps to regulate body fat. Scientific studies have shown that those who sleep less than 5-6 hours per night are more than 35% more likely to gain extra weight than those who sleep longer. If your sleep patterns have you up at night and during the day, try to take a nap during the day or remove stimulus at least an hour before bedtime for a deeper sleep.

2. STICK TO A ROUTINE, EVEN IF IT’S JUST 5 MINUTES - Studies show that people who have routines are more likely to succeed at their goals than those who don’t. Whether it is morning or night, successful people have consistency when it comes to their daily activities and they stick to their daily schedule of activities that supports their long term goal. Science shows us that simply working out for between 5-15 minutes can have a huge impact on your mind and body. So don’t worry if you’re just starting out, every little bit counts!

3. START WITH THE CORE - When we think of the tummy area, our mind often immediately wanders to the glorious six pack picture on our pinterest board. Although, it seems logical to workout the abdominal area to remove unwanted belly fat, this is a common misconception. Simply training the tummy area with sit ups, bridges and oblique crunches does not often aid the reduction of visceral fat. So, while core conditioning exercises are great for strengthening the deeper core muscles, unfortunately, core exercises do not often remove belly fat on their own. Their are certainly workouts that do support a healthy reduction of belly fat and a combi-nation of resistance and cardiovascular exercises can create the perfect workout to help to reduce stubborn body fat. The Healthy Mummy HIIT workouts are designed to increase

fat burning potential by offering high intensity workouts coupled with short rest periods

4. PUMP IT UP - Cardiovascular activity is just as important for fat burning as resistance exercises. Ensure you include exercises that get the heart pumping in your workout. The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge exercises combine both high intensity and higher resistance exercises along with deep pelvic floor and controlled abdominal exercises. The beauty of these workouts is they are short and sweet and can be performed anywhere, anytime.

5. CALM YOUR MIND - Many studies are now showing a causal link between stress and belly fat. Cortisol, the fight-flight hormone increases in response to stress in daily life. It is also known for being a culprit in increasing the amount of fat stores in the belly area. Reducing cortisol can be a simple task through the use of stress relieving activities. To help reduce stress, ensure you are getting enough sleep, schedule even a short period of time in your week to do something you love and take some time out in nature or in relaxation/meditation to consciously calm the mind. Even simply taking your workout outdoors will help to reduce stress that may be associated with cortisol and belly fat.

The October 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge has specialised belly focused exercises which can help to ensure you get the most out of these tummy taming tips in your week! A super easy solution for busy mums who struggle finding the time to work out.
