20.01.2022 Emotions = Energy - SHOW UP - FIGHT FOR YOURSELF - USE THEM!! We all go through hardships in life, some are luckier then others. In the end we all go through weeks of overwhelm and uncertainty, we also go through weeks where everything is easy and our strength is at its peak physically and emotionally. Its important to reflect on both feelings good and bad, understand why you may be feeling that way, think about what you can do to overcome it, strive to be better, do bette...r and become better! Tough times are only temporary, don’t let your energy consume you, use it as fuel - get up and move your body in whatever way feels best! Exercise is the best form of medicine - take it daily

The sacrifices our service men and women made in order for us to live the lives we do is something we should be forever grateful for! The blood - The sweat - The tears I can only imagine how tough the sleepless night were, the crippling cold, the trenches, the pain and heart ache felt by many, not only the fallen, the attacks, the battle scars and stories are what we know..

18.01.2022 11/11/20- Today we remembered those who fought for us, those who chose to put their lives on the line, both physically and mentally to fight for our country, many didn’t make it home and many are still living to tell the stories to this day... that is something that forever sticks out in my mind on remembrance day We all have choices in life, whether they are good or bad. It’s a privilege to have the freedom of choice and what we do with our days in up to us. You could ch...oose to make an excuse, to eat bad foods that won’t last long nor keep you full or to skip your steps for the day but what benefits do these choices bring you in the long run..? I guess the point I’m trying to make here is that you are in control of your life.. what you do with it and how you react to situations is on you, don’t go blaming others or feeling sorry for yourself when you don’t reach your goals ... at the end of the day you are a reflection of your choices. If you want different results- make a different choice Learn to be free, control your stresses, work on yourself every day, take that boxing class, join in group training class, learn about what eating the correct foods can do for your body and use the energy, use the vibes you get to make choices that will help you now and for the future! At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them .. Lest We Forget

11.01.2022 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas, I hope you are able to spend time with loved ones, although if you unable to see or be with your loved ones this year, I’m sending my love and best wishes to you today!! You are stronger then you think and I hope you are surrounded by someone who cares and supports you! I just thought I’d jump on here this morning and share a few quick tips, regarding Christmas and enjoying yourself this year. Now bef...ore you go thinking today will ruin my progress if I over eat, I can’t eat this, I’ll only have one little bite or that’s just not healthy- this isn’t in the plan and is this going to push me further away from my goals... the answer to all of these assumptions and thoughts is - ENJOY YOURSELVES - it’s Christmas, you can get back on track tomorrow, one day will not ruin your years worth of hard work. Tip #1 Try all of the food and don’t limit yourself One thing you may not know about me is that I love to try new flavours, foods and drinks - you should try something today that you haven’t had before or have been wishing to try. Tip#2 Drink and be merry It’s important to do what feels right for you but don’t feel like you can’t have a few drinks if you feel like it, it’s important to let your body relax after the year that’s been. Tip #3 Move your body Whether that be going for a walk after Christmas lunch or dinner, swimming in the pool/ocean, stretching when you get up this morning or just have a giggle and a dance. Tip#4 Listen to your body Christmas is a time to relax, be with family & friends, enjoy the day as it can often be a very stressful one if you are travelling to and from lots of places or if you are the host and in charge of all the food. Just ensure you eat when your body needs it, keep hydrated and relax after lunch or dinner Tip #5 Be grateful for the time you have with friends and family - I know some people can’t do that this year - I’m thinking of you. Tip#6 Be present in the moment today after the year we’ve all had- switch your phone off over lunch or dinner, have those intimate conversations, enjoy each other’s company, play sport together!

11.01.2022 I would like to take a moment to talk about an experience I have had with an awesome soccer team! This year I had the opportunity to train a group of under 16 division 2 soccer players What a ripper of a season it has been for them! ... The season started in March soon to be stopped - when COVID hit, it then recommenced in July were 18 games were played. The team began the season with 14 players who worked hard every game putting their bodies on the line and giving it 100%, although they did incur some injuries, which meant they were sometimes left with 8-9 players on the field. The extra training, conditioning and preparation allowed the players to gain confidence, work on their strength, core control, endurance, power and speed. This created great body awareness and ensured they were fit enough to run the full 80 minute game with limited to no reserves. The team should be very proud of themselves for finishing 3rd overall. It’s been an honour to train such a great bunch of boys who have so much potential and respect for the game and each other. I loved every minute of working with this team and I hope to continue training them to become better, stronger and most importantly fitter! I have learnt so much through this experience, I hope that everyone involved gained as much out of it as I did If you feel that this would benefit or be of interest to your current sporting club or team Please don’t hesitate to contact me via direct message, email or phone. The team that puts in the extra metres are the ones that come out winners

08.01.2022 Its all about keeping your squats low and your standards high The back squat is a primary compound movement and is often underrated due to the general population not understanding how to perform it correctly and efficiently! This compound movement recruits many muscle groups, including, the quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals, spinal erectors, latissimus dorsi and the trapezius. ... The benefits of a back squat include: Increased lower body strength in the quads, glutes and hamstrings Improved muscular development Improvement in movement fluidity It carry’s over to everyday movement patterns making it a great functional exercise used to help walking up stairs or picking thing up off the ground Enhances running, jumping and sports performance Spy Stella just living her best life in the background

08.01.2022 Don’t just count the reps- make every rep count More often then not, I see people pumping out exercises rep after rep without giving a real effort or thought as to why they are doing a particular exercise, the amount of reps needed to meet their goals and if the exercise is helping them progress further! It is important to ensure you are performing quality reps with correct form. Start light, understand the movement, think about the muscles being worked and increase th...e weight accordingly. Here’s a few things I want you to think about the next time you train 1- Why am I performing this exercise? 2- How does this exercise benefit me and my progress? 3- What rep- range am I aiming for and is this in accordance with my goals? 4- Am I performing the exercise with correct form and tempo? 5- Are the last few reps of each set difficult but still quality? You should be fatigued at the end of every set, you should feel like there’s nothing left in the tank and you should be making ugly faces like I am in this video Don’t take the easy way out - you will never change or progress in that way - you must push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to achieve your goals

05.01.2022 Movement empowers the body and mind, it’s a non negotiable which should be incorporated into your daily routine 5 benefits of movement include: 1- Improves cardiovascular health 2- Increases strength and flexibility ... 3- Relieves pain and controls weight 4- Improves mindset and enhances mood 5- Reduces stress Move the body to still the mind

01.01.2022 MOTIVATION MONDAY... I tried to find every excuse under the sun not to train today .. I hadn’t eaten enough I haven’t been sleeping I didn’t feel good ... I had too much other work to do I didn’t have the energy I have too many thoughts running through my head Yes I make excuses too.. yes I don’t always feel up to training ... yes I am human just like you! But it’s what I did with those excuses and how I changed my mindset to overcome these things that’s what makes all the difference .. Motivation doesn’t just come to you nor is it something we have. It’s built off taking action, making a move, forming habits and creating a routine that you can stick to! I had so many thoughts and head noises with me throughout this workout, it was a mental battle to say the least .. but I pushed through and felt amazing afterwards!! My point is don’t let the excuses your mind puts in your head get to you, don’t let them consume you, if you want it bad enough, you will work for it, nothing comes easily, it’s all about what you put in - is what you get out This goes for anything in life, not just training! It’s all about celebrating the small wins and that’s what I did today! Move today and your body will be forever thankful
