Trail Running
New Zealand is all about nature so hit up your favourite walks and try out trail running to increase your stamina, after running your hardest serve up the Teriyaki Chicken on Rice for your recovery food. The complex carbohydrates in the rice replenish your energy stores for the next hill, while the protein in chicken speeds up muscle repair.
Yoga or Pilates
If you’re looking for a low impact activity but still demands for core strength and flexibility, try out yoga or pilates! This activity can be super calming and relaxing after a long day but make no mistake, yoga and pilates can still make you work up a sweat. Restore your energy with protein and vegetables, the perfect synergy to regain balance after a long day. Try the Chicken with Pumpkin & Broccoli.
Mountain Biking
A perfect weekend activity that is a high adrenaline calories burner. This activity with friends or solo, paired with the warm New Zealand Summer, will make you sweat. After a long ride, your body needs to refuel. Try the Lamb Ragu meal base and add in some Broccoli Mash for a complete meal to restore your energy.
Social Sports (Touch/Netball)
For those who are wanting to try out something more social, have a go with touch or netball, both Summer sports are good for building up your cardio while having a social element.
