ECCENTRIC
PUSH-UPS
5 X 5 REPS
Either from the knees or from a plank
position, lower your body slowly,
taking four seconds to reach the
depth of your push-up, then drive up
to full extension.
Now you’ve done the hard work it’s time
to refuel with a quick and nutritious
breakfast. Experiment with seasonal fruit
to make this recipe a year-round winner!
Protein pancakes
SERVES 1
READY IN 15 MINS
PLANK HOLDS
1 MINUTE X 3
Place your hands directly under your
shoulders with your arms outstretched
and push up into a straight position,
holding your core tight and with the
weight over the hands.
2 free-range eggs
1 ripe banana, peeled and mashed
1 scoop of whey or vegan protein
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp coconut oil
150g of your favourite fruit, a dollop of
yoghurt and toasted coconut flakes, to serve
1 Begin by separating the eggs. Beat the
whites vigorously for a few minutes. In a
separate bowl, beat the yolks until smooth,
then combine both.
2 Add the banana, whey or vegan protein,
baking powder and cinnamon and mix
until fully combined.
3 Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick
frying pan. Pour a quarter of the pancake
mixture into the pan and repeat until all the
mixture is used up (you may have to do this in
batches). Once the pancakes begin to bubble
on the top, gently flip over and cook for a
further few moments, before serving.

ÒWho doesn't love pancakes? These
foolproof pancakes are a firm favourite
of mine. Separating the egg whites helps
to increase their fluffinessÓ
