Living Well...together, while apart

First, watch this funny, inspirational video...

Life can be so unforgivingly tough. Still, never give up.

You never know upon which attempt you will be, finally, successful.

When you keep trying, you adapt and become stronger, more insightful, more agile. You learn. About yourself and about the world.

My favourite reminder from this particular video is that you may have to fall close to the very bottom in order to discover a different journey, a better way. It may be in your darkest hours that amazing opportunities are found. As long as you keep looking.

Success is a wonderful, heady thing. But having achieved it only leads to needing, craving success somewhere else.

The journey and the patience, perseverance, and ability to adapt it creates a strong, hopeful being. Who can pull themselves up, and then so many others along the way.

Today's Trainer Moves

This Cardiovascular Workout is not for the faint at heart. It builds amazing physical and mental strength and resilience. You can perform this running, on a spin bike, elliptical, or rower. The idea is to continually push yourself to the edge of your anerobic threshold and then force yourself to recover at an intensity that just permits recovery. It feels very uncomfortable for the initial 20-40 seconds of the recovery intervals, and the last 20-60 seconds of the work intervals are pretty brutal too.

Warm up: 

• 4-5 minutes build from Zone 1 to Zone 2

Pick-ups:

• 30 seconds Zone 4
• 30 seconds Zone 2
• Repeat the 30 second back and forth 3 times. Finish with:
• 120 seconds Zone 2

Workout :

Set 1 :

• 2 minutes Zone 3-4
• 2 minutes Zone 2
• 3 minutes Zone 3-4
• 3 minutes Zone 2
• 4 minutes Zone 3-4
• 4 minutes Zone 2

Set 2 :

• 2 minutes Zone 4
• 2 minutes Zone 2
• 3 minutes Zone 4
• 3 minutes Zone 2
• 4 minutes Zone 4
• 4 minutes Zone 2

Optional Set 3 :

• 2 minutes Zone 4-5
• 2 minutes Zone 2
• 3 minutes Zone 4-5
• 3 minutes Zone 2
• 4 minutes Zone 4-5
• 4 minutes Zone 2

Cool down :

5-7 minutes Zone 2-1

Beginner Option: Skip all the 4-minute intervals.

Advanced Option: Skip Set 1. Repeat “Optional” Set 3.

Intensity Guidelines:

Note that using heart rate training zones have limitations. For example, cycling workouts will typically elicit a lower heart rate response for the same exertion compared to running workouts. Variables such as psychological stress, fatigue, and dehydration will also alter heart rate response, making it difficult to gauge how hard you are or more importantly should be working.

Today’s Bite

Classic Tuna Melt

Tuna lovers, meet your ultimate sandwich. With just the right amount of crunch, melty cheddar cheese, and a couple good slices of tomato, it’s the perfect sandwich for your lunch!

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 (6 oz) cans white tuna
• 1 ribs celery, finely chopped
• 2 dill pickles, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 slices bread, such as sourdough
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 8 slices cheddar

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using).
• Drain tuna then add to mayonnaise mixture. Use a fork to break up tuna into flakes. Add celery, pickles, red onion, and parsley and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Butter one side of each bread slice. Top an unbuttered side with approximately 1/2 cup of tuna salad, 2 to 3 slices tomato, and 2 slices of cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing up. Repeat with remaining ingredients and place on a large baking sheet. Bake until cheese is melty, 5 to 8 minutes.
