Try this simple and effective breath practice to unplug from your daily responsibilities and concerns.

In my yoga classes, I can’t tell you how often I hear people say, “Is today’s class going to be hard?” Often I respond with, “It’s all a matter of perspective.” What I really mean is that sometimes relaxing, meditating, or resting can be far harder than pushing your limits, at least for me.

For weeknight dinners I lean on meals with a short, simple list of ingredients. Bonus points when I can skip the store and pull everything from the pantry or fridge. After spending a long day at work, I just don’t have it in me to make a dinner that requires too much attention. Instead, I rely on recipes that are easy and come together fast.

Whether you’re in the mood for chicken or pork, or prefer to keep things meat-free, these 15 recipes will help you get an easy and satisfying dinner on the table.

Workouts for Week 1

 

It’s all About the CORE!

When athletes produce the necessary movements in their sports with increased efficiency, their overall performance improves. Greater strength of the core musculature increases the stability of the pelvis and spine and improves body control or balance during athletic movements, thus enhancing the efficiency of movement.

 

EDITOR’S NOTE: Mischele Stevens has been helping beginners fulfill their dream of completing a triathlon for the past decade. A former ironman athlete, Mischele has coached athletes to the World Championship level at both the 70.3 and full Ironman distance. In addition to her work with elite athletes, Mischele also coaches in a community-based program that helps hundreds of people of all levels complete triathlons each year. 

 

This programming has been designed for the beginner to train for a sprint distance triathlon, but anyone can use it.

 

There will be workouts you will be asked to record your time or distance on. Do it! Recording your training sessions allows you to confirm that you are progressing. All workouts are expected to be done with a hard/fast effort unless stated otherwise. This means you will not enjoy it and will wish desperately for it to be over. This is how we get fitter and faster. Plus, if you are in a time crunch you can get a workout in without taking away from life.

 

You will plug the training week into your life and complete each workout according to your schedule. This allows you to swim when you can get to the pool or bike when you have more time, not because I said you have to do it on a certain day.

 

Please do not do the same sport two days in a row (example: swim on Monday and Tuesday). You can do more than one workout in a day, but need at least three hours between for recovery. There are six workouts in a week. Do not make up any you miss from previous weeks. You must take one whole day off in a week to rest and recover.

 

If you have additional questions about the program, please ask Mischele in our forums.

 

Post your results, comments, and questions to the Breaking Muscle forum.

This week we visited the quirky cottage kitchen of Leela Cyd and David Kilpatrick. We got to know why they love their cheap storage solution and Leela’s favorite summertime breakfast.

So there’s only one question left to ask: Leela, what’s cooking this weekend?

Music is an important part of a great dinner party. I think a lot about the music we play during a party: Does it start out upbeat? Slow down and get mellow as the sun goes down?

But what about the music before a dinner party starts? I came across this tip from a reader that I thought was pretty genius…

Q: Ages ago, an acquaintance sent me a little bag of dried chile pequins from her garden. They’re really neat — they’re tiny, like red raisins — but we have no idea how to use them.

Doug Rauch, the former president of Trader Joe’s, is branching out into an even lower-cost model of grocery store, with a nonprofit grocery opening in a low-income community. The goal is to provide low-cost yet still wholesome and nutritious food that is no more expensive than highly processed junk food.
