WHAT I GOT FROM MUSCLEFOOD UK

I'm constantly on the lookout for good health and fitness products. From active wear and fitness equipment, to nutritious 'health' foods, whatever it is that I think will complement my active lifestyle, I'll give it a try.

Having recently started a new job meant I would be bringing in my own lunch so that I can continue to eat healthy, save money and save time.  This meant stocking up on some healthy ingredients (protein, veg and carbs) so I can meal prep. I decided to order from Musclefood to get my meats (and treats!). For those who have not heard of Musclefood before, they provide 'Premium lean meats, high-protein foods and sports nutrition supplements for athletes, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.' It's basically an online business you can order a bunch of fresh meats, veg, meals, and fitness supplements from.

To save you from a boring list of what I got, I've put together a video of me unboxing my Musclefood haul on my Youtube channel (@miakayfitness) so you can actually see the products!

Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored. I have solely decided to buy from Musclefood as a personal choice.

If you have any questions about my Musclefood order, or anything about my fitness lifestyle, please feel free to comment on this post. I'd love to hear from you!

HOW TO GROW YOUR GLUTES

The exercises that helped me build a stronger and better booty

Left: January 2016. Right: October 2016

Having had a relatively small frame all my life I wasn't blessed with a round bottom. I was thin and as light as a feather so back then it made perfect sense for me to be a long distance runner. But then things changed when I started weight training. I started building muscle. I got stronger. I was looking in the mirror thinking that the skinny girl who looked like a boy had completely disappeared. She now has curves! 

It did take some trial and error finding out what worked and delivered results faster. And no- it wasn't some easy overnight process. It will require commitment and persistence but as they say, once you start lifting you will never go back to your old ways. I lift simply because I love it and I think once you get the swing of things you will too!  It's a great way to relieve stress, and if you're toning your body at the same time, it's a win-win situation isn't it? Anywaysssss, onto the point, I found the following moves really helped me to build my glutes to how it looks like today, so if you're looking to build your booty, you may wish to try and incorporate some of these into your routine (wink wink).

1. Weighted Barbell Squats

2. Glute bridges

3. Single leg squats

4. Split squats

5. Rear leg raises (Bodyweight)

FITNESS HAUL: What I got from the mid-season sale

Lately, I've noticed a lot of brands having their mid-season sale, and being an active gym-goer, I feel I could never have enough workout clothes. I decided to check out Victoria's Secret, Adidas and  Sweaty Betty sales to see if there were any products I could buy for a fraction of the cost to save some me some pennies. I managed to buy quite a few things so I thought I'd share with you what I got. Check out my haul by clicking on the videos below!
