25.01.2022 Todays leg finisher! Need to add more weight to my squats, but I only have 15 and 20kg plates. I ran out of time before the lockdown to get some 5kg ones. So I added a step up just to add that final burn to the exercise.



24.01.2022 Abby helping me lift weights today!

23.01.2022 Ive been so busy lately with study and lockdown stage 4 that it has been hard to find time to workout. So today my kids helped me! First section was tabata, then just a few strength exercises. Hope lockdown is going well for everyone!

23.01.2022 My view from the run yesterday! Beautiful Lysterfield lake.



21.01.2022 Abby and I took part in a running challenge - 4km, she did it as 2* 2km runs. Challenge provided by Kid Runnr

20.01.2022 Full body workout to try if you need something to keep going for the next week! Looks like fun

20.01.2022 From Kaisa. Grab your toilet paper and challenge the core!



20.01.2022 My Push movement from the other day. Bench press. Since I only have a bar to work with and plates above 15kg, I did this as a high rep range. 7 bottom half, 7 top half, 7 full presses. Then 6 with my hands closer together to work on the triceps. I also engaged my core by having my knees up. Another push movement that I could have chosen would be any push up variation. Ill video that one at a later stage.

19.01.2022 Leg workout from the other day! Give this a go, not all things mentioned were recorded at the time. Use whatever you have, it doesnt have to be a specific weight. Try a dog (not recommended for the held above your head move. - 3*10-15 Calf Raises *not recorded* - 3* 8/side Pistol Squats. Great for balance!... - 3* 8/side Walking Lunges. (harder with weight in the air/ 1 weight only requires core stabilization) - 3* 8/side Row and lunge. This one could be harder to simulate without a band. It is great for activating back at the same time as legs. - 3* 8 - 12 Glute/Hip thrust. This has many variations depending on ability. My next video may go through a number of variations for this exercise! - 3 * 8 - 12 Deadlifts. This was just my warm up set at 50kg. Again, this one has many variations depending on ability and equipment. See more

17.01.2022 Were back! Put the date in your calendar and bring your own gloves! 27th June, 9am

16.01.2022 Over the last 6 weeks, I have been participating in a Virtual Walk for NETS! I have walked/ran over 400 kilometres during the challenge, taking me to the NSW border via the coast! It has been a great motivator to get out every day for some fresh air, and Ive had a great support team. #letswalkfornets

16.01.2022 Todays view. Not very pretty, but a PB for my 5km! Previous PB was 28:57...



16.01.2022 Tabata training. This is an easy way to get in a quick workout. Choose 2 exercises and give them everything youve got! Examples to choose from: Squats (add a jump to make it harder)... Lunges Burpees Mountain climbers Pushups Russian Twists What others can you think of? I would suggest doing 4 sets of 4 mins (so choose 8 exercises). Thanks for watching!

15.01.2022 Rounded shoulders are a common problem. If you have serious problems with neck or back pain, please consult a GP or allied health provider. Here are a few things you can do to help, it will take time however as rounded shoulders have most likely been an issue that has taken years to develop.

12.01.2022 My Upper body workout from the other day. 1. Warm up - shoulder rotation movement, Band pull aparts to activate, middle back shrugs (normally best with dumbbells). 2. Core - Ball rollouts, reverse crunches, side plank. 3. Hanging and activating lats to get the pull up motion happening. This was with no momentum to help. Then negative pulls up (palms away) and negative chin ups (palms towards me). These are good for trying to control and squeeze the muscles. 4. Kneeling Row.... 5. Face pull with bar. 6. Lat pull down - different machine so I was still working out which way I want to face. 7. Chest press. I did this as a 21 reps because I need more weights plates to make it harder. So 7 on the bottom half, 7 just the top half, then 7 full ones. 8. Tricep chest press - I moved my hands closer together to get the triceps working harder. When doing back work, I always change around on the grips - palms down, palms up or palms facing towards each other. This is because by changing that grip, I change which part of the bicep assists the back muscles in the movement. For a chin up, the palms facing towards you (underhand grip) uses the same bicep as bicep curls, and makes the chin up easier for most people. The palms facing away (overhand grip) uses a weaker bicep muscle, making the back work harder. As I havent done upper body for a few weeks (Im on a running goal) this workout made me very sore for the next day

11.01.2022 The pallof press is a great exercise for your core. I use it at an alternative to the side plank. Here are 2 variations to try. The countdown is on until we can box together again!

11.01.2022 Just trying to get some warm ups in and Jasper wants to help.

11.01.2022 We are currently not running classes due to Coronavirus. Stay tuned for tips to stay active!We are currently not running classes due to Coronavirus. Stay tuned for tips to stay active!

10.01.2022 Boxing is off again, please stay well all.

10.01.2022 Mark is finding some beautiful places during this time! What places have you found?

10.01.2022 Interval running! One of my favourite ways to get into running or challenging yourself if you already run but want to get some more speed. Beginner: Jog for 30secs- 1min, walk for 2-3mins. Repeat 5 or more times. Harder: Get a sprint happening for 30 secs then go back to a jog.... This is great for building up cardio fitness levels! Thanks to the kids for helping me with the video

06.01.2022 Did a 14km run on Monday, here was the beautiful area I found next to Dandenong Creek!

06.01.2022 Well done to Mark for keeping active during this time! Anyone else have pictures they want to share?

05.01.2022 It was great to start boxing back today! We are opening slowly and just doing Saturday morning at 9am for the next few weeks. More times will be offered again as we see what the numbers are doing!

04.01.2022 Last week my toddler helped me on my run! Getting outside at the moment is so important for me. It helps clear my mind, and keep me fit - running or walking are both beneficial! He is getting bigger though so almost too heavy to push. Reasons to get outside: - Improves mental health... - Improves physical health - Builds immunity - Gets Vitamin D - Running outdoors gets a significantly greater energy boost, compared to indoors (Research from the University of Exeter) - Better scenery - Explore new places - Dont need to pay money See more

04.01.2022 Boxing is coming back soon now! Dates will be confirmed. A good reminder though to eat your veggies!

01.01.2022 Its a difficult time at the moment for motivation! What goals are you setting? Are they SMART goals? S - Specific M - Measurable A - Attainable R - Realistic... T - Timely This video also talks a little bit about the workout I then jumped into, but I think over the next few weeks Ill expand on each of the movements I was talking about. A Push, Pull, Squat, Deadlift, Lunge, Carry and Rotate. Ill get a few more variations going to help with these fundamental movements! There was a post recently from K Aleisha Fetters (https://www.facebook.com/kafetters/) that made me think of going back to fundamentals. What motivates you at the moment?

01.01.2022 Planks! Everyones fave Here are some ways to challenge your planks. For any of these, Id find your baseline. So if you can hold strong for 10 seconds, build from there each week by adding 5 seconds. For a plank, once you get to that minute mark Id spice things up and challenge the stability to make your core work! Enjoy
