Banaan Boekweit Breakfast Cake

Zoals jullie nu inmiddels wel weten ben ik een enorme fan van lekker ontbijten!
Als ik wakker word heb ik eigenlijk meteen honger en moet mijn maag gevuld worden met iets lekkers.. Na zo'n 1000x pannenkoeken of havermout te hebben gegeten 's morgens was ik op zoek naar iets nieuws.
Op Instagram volg ik Fannetiek, ze heeft een ontzettend leuke blog over haar reis naar de flexcup.
Daar vond ik ook dit heerlijke ontbijt recept!

Banaan Boekweit Breakfast Cake

Wat heb je nodig?
circa 350 g geprakte banaan (ongeveer 3 middelgrote bananen)
2 tl vanille-extract (of een paar Stevia drops / kokos bloesem)
250 ml ongezoete amandelmelk (of melk naar keuze)
1 tl kaneel
Snufje zout
250 g boekweitmeel (de Jumbo heeft dit!)
30 g gebroken lijnzaad (of chiazaadjes, kan ook!)
30 g havermout
1 el bakpoeder
De ingrediënten zijn voor 6 grote stukken

Wat moet je doen?
Verwarm de oven op 180-200C
Maal het lijnzaad en de havermout fijn in een keukenmachine. De banaan prak je fijn. Mix al de andere ingrediënten en zorg dat het een mooie, gladde textuur krijgt.
Spray een ovenschaal in met olie en verdeel het beslag hier in.
Zet het in de oven voor ongeveer 30 minuten.

Ik heb er zelf een topping op gedaan van magere kwark, cacao nibs en aardbeien, maar je kan zelf natuurlijk eindeloos variëren!

Eetsmakelijk!

Why you all should deadlift! :D

The famous Deadlift is just a great exercise!
Deadlifts are by far one of the best exercises for producing overall strenght. But even more than that, they can even help you improve your physical appearance too.
One main benefit of deadlift is that it helps you develop core strength that is derived from building the core muscles of the body. A muscle which makes up your central muscle in located in the lower and upper back, in your buttocks, your hips as well as in the abdominals. All these muscles work if you do deadlifts. Possessing a firm core is very essential for keeping a healthy stance and getting rid of back pains.
To do a deadlift, the main mover group of muscles is your spine erector found in the lower back. On the other hand, deadlifts do need to utilize some of your stabilizer muscles. The combination of these groups of muscle enables you to raise heavier weights compared to other kinds of workouts. Lifting weights will improve your general muscle weight that is the first factor which determines the strength of a person.
Since this workout is a big compound motion which starts from a dead stop stance, it is truly efficient in enhancing overall explosiveness. Deadlift exercise also helps enhance the overall stance and avoid injuries.  Through strengthening abdominals and lower back, deadlift can naturally enhance the placing of the spine. Your lower back is in a position which is vulnerable to damage, mainly because of poor posture as well as excessive slouching all through the day.
Lots of people thing you'll get injuries from doing a deadlift but it just prevent it!

What are supersets??

In the gym I hear a lot of people talk about supersets, but they al mean different things...
So I'm gonna tell you what supersets are so there will be no confusion about it anymore :D

What's a superset?
With a superset you do two exercises without stopping. You don't take rest between those exercises.
It's a pair of exercises that exist out of two antagonistic muscles.
For example: First you train your biceps after that you train your triceps. Without rest!!

Workout example.

1
-Barbell curl: 4 sets, 10 10 8 6, superset with:
-Tricep extension: 4 sets, 10 10 8 6

2
-Dumbbell row: 4 sets, 10 10 8 6, superset with:
-Chest press: 4 sets, 10 10 8 6.

3.
-Leg extension: 4 sets, 10 10 8 6, superset with:
-Leg curl: 4 sets, 10 10 8 6.

Of course you can make a lot of combinations, this is just an example.. I hope you all understand what supersets are... If you never tried it, just do it! It burns a lot of calories, cause it keeps your hearth rate high!

Why H.I.I.T??

I'm a big fan of H.I.I.T workouts.. The're short and very intense and you'll burn loads of calories!
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardiorespiratory training technique that alternates brief speed and recovery intervals to increase the overall intensity of your workout. It's fun to mix up your workouts!

Most endurance workouts such as walking, running, or stair-climbing are performed at a moderate intensity. High intensity workouts are done at a high/explosive intensity.. The are typically sustained for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, although they can be as short as 8-10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes; the higher the intensity, the shorter the speed interval. Recovery intervals are equal to or longer than the speed intervals. High-intensity interval training is done at a submaximal level; around 80-95% of maximal aerobic capacity.

"One of the earliest studies, done by researchers at Laval University (Ste-Foy, Quebec, Canada), kept it basic, using two groups in a months-long experiment. One group followed a 15-week program using HIIT while the other performed only steady-state cardio for 20 weeks. Proponents of steady-state training were pleased to hear that those subjects burned 15,000 calories more than their HIIT counterparts. Those who followed the HIIT program, however, lost significantly more bodyfat. A 2001 study from East Tennessee State University (Johnson City) demonstrated similar findings with subjects who followed an eight-week HIIT program. Again, HIIT proved to be the better fat-burner–subjects dropped 2% bodyfat over the course of the experiment. Meanwhile, those who plodded through the eight weeks on a steady-state program lost no bodyfat."

Why H.I.I.T?
-You'll lose body fat!
-Short workouts
-You can do it at home or at the gym
-You can use al kinds of exercises
-HIIT could be the only way to train for people looking to lose fat while adding and/or preserving muscle mass.


Example of a H.I.I.T workout:

50 seconds work/10 seconds rest. 4 rounds.

1.Mountain climber (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
2.Burpees (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
3.High knees (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
4. Skipping (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
5. Jump squats (50 sec)
-10 sec rest

Another example:

You also can do it with sprints.

-30 seconds sprint
-10 seconds walk
-30 seconds sprint
-10 seconds walk
And just on and on and on... :D

It's Always a good thing to shake your workout up and try something new.. Try this and I'll bet you'll get results!
