IT’S A common belief that it takes 21 days to form a new habit. Inspired by this, Mission Foods Malaysia has teamed up with fitness guru Dave Nuku and celebrity nutritioni­st Alexandra Prabaharan to create a simple-to-follow 21-day health and fitness programme called #The21DayMi­ssion.

“The 21-day programme solidifies a strategic pillar to the brand – which is to continue driving awareness on the importance of healthy eating and living in the community,” said Randall Tan, the brand manager for Gruma Singapore Pte Ltd, the parent company of Mission Foods.

“With the launch of #The21DayMi­ssion, we feel we can make a difference in people’s lives by making it easier for them to start this journey and encouragin­g them to start thinking about getting better, fitter and feeling great about themselves.”

The fitness part of this programme is based on a workout regimen drawn up by Nuku, a certified personal trainer and internatio­nal presenter on health and fitness issues.

Nuku was also one of the main trainers on the The Biggest Loser Asia reality TV series, as well as the co-founder of the Fire Station gym in Kuala Lumpur.

He has dedicated his life to helping people achieve their goals and transform their lives through achieving a healthier body, mind and spirit.

According to Nuku, there are two parts to his fitness plan – highintens­ity interval training (HIIT); and yoga recovery.

He combined these two regimes so that those who follow it will be able to push their limits for one day and rest and recover on the next.

The workout is also said to be ideal for individual­s of all fitness levels.

The nutrition part of the programme is handled by Alexandra, a renowned certified nutritioni­st with the American Fitness Profession­als and Associates (AFPA).

She has created a delicious meal plan that includes breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes to complement the fitness regime.

All the recipes are designed to be simple to prepare as they use easy-to-find ingredient­s and Missions Foods wraps, pita, naan and tortilla chips.
