Recipe for Fitness Tracy Orzechowski

How to apply colour for a Fitness or Figure Competition

Hand washing 

With summer time approaching we all tend to eat more foods with our hands such as fruits or barbecued items, so I thought I would share with you the proper technique for washing your hands when working with food.  The whole process should take approximately two minutes. 

  • Begin by running tepid water
  • Apply liquid soap to the middle of the hands
  • Use the palm of the right hand as a surface for scrubbing your left
  • Scrub the finger nails by turning them in a circular motion along the palm to get dirt from underneath the nails 
  • Scrub the crease in the hand between the index finger and the thumb
  • Build up a good lather and scrub the remainder of the hand
  • Repeat for the left hand
  • Grab some paper towels and dry your hands
  • Use the paper towel to turn off the taps and discard in the garbage
