Interview With Theresa Prasad: Working Mum, Food Lovin’ Crossfitter & Wife
November 6, 2016
In Balance The Grind’s ongoing interview series, we’re learning about how different individuals achieve balance in their life while juggling multiple priorities – whether it’s work, training, hobbies or in this case, an 11-month old baby.
Over the past few years, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has steadily become a popular form of exercise. Highly effective for improving cardio and burning fat, HIIT also has another advantage – it enables you to burn more calories in a shorter amount of time.
Balance The Grind is all about learning how to find a happy medium for everything in your life. In our ongoing interview series, we will be talking to people from all walks of life about what they do on a daily basis to achieve that balance.
When on the road, managing to avoid old habits and fall into fat-filled traps is very hard. Usually you are short on time when on the road, so having time to prepare and look for healthy restaurant options isn’t always an option.
When it comes to finding exercise that focus on building strength and mass in the most effective way, it’s hard to top the king of all weightlifting exercises: the good ol’ deadlift.
When it comes to staying fit and healthy, it can feel like one of the biggest obstacles to doing so is life itself. It’s so easy to get yourself in a position whereby, due to work, you travel all the time. And we all know how that goes – eating fast food, hotel restaurant meals and junk treats ahoy!
Before you start working out, you need energy – and protein – to be capable of fulfilling your duties. Trying to start a workout on a bar of chocolate or nothing at all will not do you much favors in terms of staying power, or performance.
After a workout, it’s likely that you’ll be feeling pretty famished. After all, all of that energy expulsion will likely have taken it out of you. Rather than feeling shattered, though, you can recover important energy – and body recovery – by using a post-workout meal.
