🍯 Amelia wanted to add a dash of peanut butter and manuka honey
🫙Pop the lid on and place it in the fridge….
🍶next morning i usually add a dash of cream or Creamy yogurt to the top.
💭Pending your likes and goals you can take out or add ingredients as you please…were not a calorie counting family, we try install good eating habits 80% of the time, but we dont label foods good or bad, but healthy foods do generally make us feel better, but dont feel bad when you do eat something just because you felt like it and it tasted satisfyingly good 🍩🤤.
⚖️Balance is key and how we talk about food and exercise around our kids plays a huge role. Organisation and food prep can really help us start the day strong.

Personalised Programs
Feels good to be creating Personalised Training programs for clients again.
This client is motivated and has a pretty good routine, but lacked ‘confidence and knowledge’ in the gym environment that she enjoys going to. Home programming was an option, but after chatting about life & what worked best for her…getting out of the house in the early hours for this Mum, before a busy day, works best for her and the family 💚
A little lower-body basic for you to do every 2nd day. A little routine i personally maintained especially in those early days of my recovery….not just for the body, but the mind. Routine, even 5mins can help us get through a Challenging time & keep the body ‘in-check’
The Concussion journey continues. A look into one of my 8 Neuro exercises i have to do 2x day. 😴Rest, Pace and 😇Patience still Key 😮💨… walking a little further each week feels good, but look forward to doing the 2km loop with 🐶Skyw again. Doing a little more with the kids between brain breaks, within reason. 😊Mentally feeling more like me again. ill get that muscle back dont you worry, but for now my 🧠 is key…ive always eaten pretty good, but only fuelling with the real quality stuff at the moment 🐟🧉🍵. Do i miss coffee, nah the almond milk decaf is sufficing and surprisingly dont miss alcohol, but probably because my main symptom is like the early stages of feeling drunk, without the endorphins 😂. #patience #ConcussionCare
Consistency is key
Limited equipment & away from the home gym setup…no worries, get the rehab/prehab done with a couple of extras on the fly 🤙.
You need-ant train for hours on end, break it down to as little as Two exercises/3sets (5mins).
CONSISTENCY WINS no matter what the goal
Limited Equipment, limited time ! No worries, here’s a little ‘slider’ routine. ps. i know im always on the go, but bare in mind this is sped up x2 😂 Need something more personalised for YOUR GOALS, injuries or for the equipment you have availble at home? No worries, contact me and we can have a consult, then i can provide a video or printed workout for you.
My personal workout posts are far and few between…because lets be honest it aint all about me! But heres a little full-body inspo approx 3min rounds x 3 (10-12reps each) ‘except the chins, cause i aint as strong 💪 as i once was 😋’ Technique, Technique, Technique before speed and weight…always ✌️ 12mins of workout….quality over quantity 🙌🏻
⚡️Got Motivation? But need a little more direction 🧐 and guidance….or to tackle that knigging injury ? 🫣 Little snippet of the detailed personalised programs i provide for Individuals needs 📩 pm me for more details
🤪 Feeling a bit Flat ⁉️⁉️⁉️ or in my case ‘Had an Epic Sat night 🎤🎼 out with Friends at the Jack Johnson Concert…the body aint used to it, but totally worth it! Then today rolled the ole Ankle for the first time in about 10yrs 🤦♀️…. 😎 Adapt the workout and do the basics, not only does staying consistent with even just shoulder/Glute ‘Pre-hab’ (injury prevention essentially) keep things in check, you will still get the ‘Endorphins’ flowing and feel better for that 10mins mentally and give everyone else a better you for the evening routine. Give it a crack 👍 🤔 What 5-10min routine should you be trying to do ‘consistently’ for YOUR goals (even if its 10mins of Mindfulness for some YOU time and to reset 🧘🏻♀️) YOU DO YOU 💯❤️
Cardio before Weights…in most cases you will be told and many will agree its true for them! BUT this is not the case for us all, and thats the beauty of Training and knowing YOUR body! I personally lift better post a steady 5-10km bike ride, it loosens me up and im way more pumped for weights 🏋🏻…i feel i lift better too. SO YOU DO YOU 👈 take advice from those of us in the know, but also experiment what works for YOU ! and what you enjoy 🙌🏻. Because if your consistantly doing and are happy in doing, keep doing 😆💯
An Hour free…today i could have easily let my head wonder, sit on the couch and watch Netflix for that hour ! Glad i put my big girl-pants on and hit the Studio for ME! DEADLIFTS: Compound, Fullbody movement (lots of Muscles required for this lift)! Not an exercise i do alot, as i have alot of old ‘accident’ injuries that still cause imbalances, so I try do more Uni-Lateral work to fix this Biomechanical issues! Felt good to do Deadlifts (10Reps, 7sets…wanted 10sets, but the body said ‘That’ll do dear, move on’ 😆) …. let off some steam and the rest of the session felt good ❤️💯.
