VIEW IN BROWSER Training Club exclusive: support your WFH habits with this strong back workout You may not have access to a squat rack anytime soon, but strengthening your posterior chain (the muscles in the back of your body) is about more than just lifting heavy. In fact, training your glutes and hamstrings is key to counteracting the hours upon hours that we spend sitting down – which is needed more than ever now that we're missing out on office commutes (did you ever think you'd actually miss those?) and lunchtime walks to Pret. This full body workout from our Strong Women Training Club targets all the right muscles. While front raises might not seem like your typical back day exercise, strengthening your traps and front delts works to correct a hunched posture. Not a Training Club member yet?

Power through the week with a revamp of a classic pasta dish If there's anything that could hit the spot on a Monday night in lockdown while you tackle your new crafting project (or not…), it's a big bowl of spag bol. And if your Veganuary has blossomed into a long-term love affair with plant-based choices, this option will leave you licking your lips – who says vegans miss out? In fact, this pasta dish is filled to the brim with energising goodness. The base of the herby sauce is made from walnuts, mushrooms and tomatoes – all great sources of B vitamins to maintain energy levels. And let's not forget everyone's favourite bit: the noodles, which are rich in satiating carbohydrates, vitamin B and iron, for the kind of stamina you need to get through that pesky cross stitch you've been trying to nail. There's no defeating you this week. READ MORE

Training Club exclusive: how long does it take to see results from strength training? READ MORE

Stylist's social media assistant Meeka McKenzie searches for kit to keep her warm during her runs – without overheating What? Van Loon Sport Modaluxe® Base Layer Top, £110 and Modaluxe® Base Layer Leggings, £95 What are they? Base layers that can be worn alone or underneath clothing, made with fabric designed to be warm and comfortable. The verdict: "I get cold easily, so usually have to layer up when going for runs during the winter. This top and leggings are made using Van Loon Sport's Modaluxe® fabric, which works to maintain a stable body temperature in cold environments. The tech behind the fabric boils down to an innovative knit construction designed to hold a pocket of warm air next to the skin, while encouraging sweat to evaporate. "I threw a light jacket over the set then went for a five mile run on a day when it was 0°C outside, followed by post-workout stretches. Not being swaddled in multiple layers meant I had more freedom of movement and was able to have a more intense run – and lasted for even longer than I usually do without getting too cold or feeling overheated. The quality lived up to the high price point: I have fairly sensitive skin and found both pieces to be comfortable, not irritating. They might be just the motivation I need to get outside in the cold days ahead."  BUY NOW
