Place a Kettlebell on the ground between your feet. Position your feet wide and grasp the Kettlebell with two hands. Set your hips back as far as possible and bend your knees. Keep your chest and head up. This is your starting position. Begin by extending the hips and knees, simultaneously pulling the Kettlebell to your shoulders, raising your elbows as you do so. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position.
It’s well known that protein is a very important nutrient in a diet; it is a key for building and repairing muscles. Chicken is well known for being rich in protein and less fatty than other meats such as pork and beef. A typical 86g ½ chicken breast (skinless and boneless) contains 27g of lean protein. This is a natural source of proteins.
Lewis’s Myth of the month The more protein you have, the more muscle you will gain. Companies selling protein supplements claim this but why wouldn’t they; the more you have, the sooner you need to re-stock and the more money you spend. Having a protein shake within 20mins after finishing your workout provides supply of amino acid building blocks the body needs for repair and building of new muscle tissue. The rest should come from natural sources. Depending on your goal, having up to 2g of protein per 1kg of body weight per day is sufficient.
