WOD-MOD Wednesday {wk 5}

WOD {Simplicity}

Meredith and I had both had super long days. We just wanted a simple and quick workout.  I thought this would fit the bill.  It is simple, yet a killer of a WOD.  Burpees are simple - so why not do 100 of them?! You love them, right?

AFAP= AsFastAsPossible
100 Burpees

 Notes:

• Break it up to make it a little less daunting. 10 rounds of 10.
• Feeling like superwoman (or man)?? Do 10 rounds of 10 reps with 10 situps in between each set of burpees!

MOD {Massaged Lemon Kale Salad}

To continue with the simplicity theme, we chowed down on this super simple and clean salad.  Sorry, no photos - we were pretty hungry and surprisingly didn't take any pictures. :)
 
Massaged Lemon Kale Salad

1 bunch dino kale
juice of two lemons (I like it super lemony, so I use more!)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 red onion, diced
green apple, thinly sliced
1/4-1/2  cup walnuts, or nuts of choice
1 avocado, cubed
pulled chicken

Method

1. Thinly slice kale and place in a bowl. If you desire, you can remove the stalks. We just eat the entire thing - why waste??

2  Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over kale.  Gently massage the kale until is starts to soften - about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add spices.  Don't stress about the measurements- I always just ballpark it.

4. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and add remaining ingredients

5. Toss and serve.

* This is fabulous the next day!

Tips/Tricks:

•  If you aren't going to eat this right away, hold off on adding the avocado
• Time saver - we used chicken from my weekly rotisserie chicken purchase from Whole Foods!! 

Variations:

• Add different spices.
• Currants, raisins or dried cranberries would be an excellent addition.
• Replace the chicken with: beef, salmon, tofu, chickpeas, quinoa...
• Omit the chicken and serve it as a side.
