HONEY & MUSTARD DRESSING

People often ask me about sauces and dressings. Understandably so, it isn’t difficult to spoil a perfectly healthy dish with globs of ketchup, ranch dressing, or something similar.

This is a cost effective, quick and easy salad dressing recipe and is ideal for Boni’s Asparagus, Tenderstem Broccoli and Bacon Salad (see previous post).

Preparation is the key to success and convenience is what it’s all about when it comes to eating healthily. For that reason our recipe focus is built upon those very aspects.

Plyometric Single Leg Split Squat

Plyometric Single Leg Split Squat

For an extensive understanding of muscle fiber activation go here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21912291/

Sprinters, wrestlers, high jumpers, footballers, football players, basketball players, martial artists, rugby players… hit this up! You can increase leg power quickly with this exercise.

To add to the key points…

It is important to recognise when you are losing power during each set. You don’t want to push yourself to extreme fatigue. If you do you will be defeating the purpose. Staying in the anaerobic system, so that you are only recruiting fast-twitch muscle fibres is a must!

To effectively work this into a routine, save it for the very end and never do more than 8 reps (as for any power exercise). Using extra resistance isn’t necessary, but if you do, use very little, and make sure that you don’t hit muscle failure!
