HEALTHY RECIPE GRILLED CHICKEN CAPRESE
4 T I P S F O R S A F E S UMM E R WO R K O U T S 1. Adjust your body temperature. Hop into a cold shower before your workout. Studies show that a pre-exercise cool down improves performance in the heat — probably because it lowers your heart rate as well as core and skin temperatures. 2. Get the dirt. Try to walk, run, or cycle on dirt or gravel paths, since asphalt and concrete tend to radiate heat and reflect the sun’s rays, making you feel hotter. Live near water? Take advantage of the breeze on even steamy days; if possible, start out with the wind at your back, so when you’re finishing you’ll be running into a headwind, which feels cooler. 3. Summarize your intervals. To keep your fitness level up, do your regular cardio at a slightly slower pace, but add in 30-second speed bursts every three to five minutes. You’ll maintain your conditioning and burn more calories without having to go all- out the entire time. 4. Refuel with fruit. They’re more than 80 percent water, so fruits such as grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are a tasty way to replenish fluids and boost your energy post- workout. Keep them frozen or grind them into a smoothie for a refreshing treat! Put the cool factor back into your workout routine with these tricks this summer! Always remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body to avoid dehydration or stressing any muscles.
INGREDIENTS • 2 (about 1 lb) large boneless, skinless chicken breasts • 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 oz fresh salted mozzarella • 2 plum tomatoes • 1/4 cup fresh basil
DIRECTIONS Set grill to medium. Lay the chicken breasts flat and cut horizontally with knife parallel to cutting
board to form 4 thinner cutlets. Brush chicken with the olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill and cook 4 min. per side. Meanwhile, very thinly slice the mozzarella. Thinly slice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the basil. Arrange tomato slices on chicken. Top with mozzarella.
