19.01.2022 Hello there, 4th January 2021! Since it's the very first Monday of a brand new year, it's the perfect opportunity to reflect on the coming year especially in terms of achievements and goals. Here are 5 things want to accomplish this year:... 1. Travel back home (to Canada) to see my family and dear friends. 2. Grow EJ Fit with more clients here in Perth as well as online, to help as many wonderful humans as I can :) 3. Practice more gratitude. Being grateful for the everyday and simple things in life that we sometimes take for granted. 4. Educating amazing humans about a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Helping folks change their mindset and health set to be positive, realistic and sustainable. 5. Getting new wheels, I’m turning the BIG 40 - so why the heck not!!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking "Lets do this!" What are some of your goals this year? I'd love to read your reply in the comments below!
18.01.2022 Are you a mum and have noticed that your posture has gotten worse since you had children? You're not alone! Between nursing, carrying a baby in your arms, and carrying all kinds of things that come with babies and kids, mums' bodies are strained in such a way that some begin to constantly hunch over or slouch. Slumped, rounded shoulders, a tucked tailbone, and a forward-leaning head are the telltale signs of "Mum Posture".... Luckily, practising Pilates can benefit your posture by mobilising the spine through Pilates exercises which will improve your posture over time. It also strengthens your muscles in a lengthened way to combat the postures you naturally make in the day. What’s more, Pilates also teaches us how to use the deep core muscles the abdominals, back and pelvic floor which supports our posture by allowing the shoulders to relax and the neck and head to move freely. A good exercise to practice is ‘Bird Dog’. See my post from last week on form and technique!

14.01.2022 Have you appreciated yourself lately? Most of us don't give ourselves enough credit for all the things we achieve, or what it took for us to get where we are today. Practising positive affirmations is a great way of re-aligning your thoughts and building positivity within yourself, and to show yourself some gratitude.... Here are a few affirmations you can practise to centre yourself: 1. I can do anything. 2. I choose to be positive. 3. I celebrate my individuality. 4. I deserve to have joy in my life. 5. My body is healthy, and I’m grateful. 6. I’m grateful for the everyday. 7. My life is a gift and I appreciate everything I have. And with that I wish you a Happy Friday! Have a great weekend
12.01.2022 Pilates is an amazing form of exercise for both the mind and body! Pilates focuses on improving mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing while building top to toe strength and stability. Classes can be slow paced, quiet and gentle - or rigorous, fact paced and very demanding, all depending on your experience and teacher.... Pilates really is for everybody (and every BODY!) and the benefits can be appreciated by all.

06.01.2022 Motivation. What is it? How do you get motivated and how do you sustain motivation? James Clear puts motivation in a very simplistic yet real statement from his article Motivation: The Scientific Guide on How to Get and Stay Motivated: Every choice has a price, but when we are motivated, it is easier to bear the inconvenience of action than the pain of remaining the same.... To make things happen or do what you want to do, you need motivation! Motivation is what drives us to behave in certain ways and is the desire to achieve a need of some sort... ...

05.01.2022 People often ask me about the difference between yoga and pilates, and is one better than the other? The answer is, although these exercises are similar, they have some important distinctions as well. Generally speaking, yoga is more about stability and flexibility, whereas pilates is more about stability and strength.... Yoga: - Focuses on flexibility + meditation - Most poses are performed standing or seated - Breath work is used for relaxation - Poses are held for a longer period of time Pilates: - Focuses on core strength and tone - Most exercises are performed lying down on stomach, back or side - Breath work is used for energy - Movements are slow, controlled and isolated In terms of which one is better suited to you, it all depends on your individual preference and goals. But in short, both are fantastic additions to your workout routine!

03.01.2022 I'm a strong believer that strength comes from within one's self - mentally, emotionally and physically. Thoughts are just like muscles in the body. The more we exercise our muscles, the more we achieve strength, stamina and stability. This is the same for mental processes. We need to continuously feed our minds with healthy thoughts and ideas, to achieve growth, learning, inner strength and positivity. An example of my own mental strength is when I set a challenging goal to... get in the best shape possible, in just 6 weeks.

02.01.2022 No-one feels like exercising every single day! Some days getting out to train seems like a struggle. But to make a difference in ourselves, both mentally and physically, we WILL get up and do it anyway #mindovermatter Remember, you will never regret a workout, but often regret a workout you skipped!
01.01.2022 The key thing that prompted me to become more self-aware... After I achieved my goal for my photo-shoot, I found I was a bit stagnated. I kept training but wasn’t sure what I was aiming for and should be focused on. This emphasized the benefit to me of goal-setting without goals, all our behavior is reactive, in example, we respond to situations as they occur and we’re constantly on the back foot... ... ...
