25.01.2022 Today's workout! . Ok today we're going to be doing sumo scissors, burpees and prone hold knee to elbows. . Sumo scissors are a juicy little one to start with. We want to get down into a squat hold. From there we're going to make a small jump into a lunge, then jump again into the opposite lunge. And then.... Jump back into our squat hold. Thats one rep my friend. We always start and finish in a squat. Get ready to feel the burn!... . Burpees..... Everyone knows burpees. Push yourself. Don't slack off here because you don't like them. No body likes burpees. Stop having a wet eye and push harder. If you want to get fitter and stronger. Then do more burpees! . Prone hold knee to elbow. These are such an effective core movement. Start off in a prone hold position, bring your opposite knee and elbow in towards your bellybutton. Getting them as close to touching as you can. Keep alternating from side to side. Focus on keeping your core braced. . The workout. Today we're going to set up a 1 minute intervals timer. We're going to do a minute one each movement then have a minute rest. 5 rounds all up giving you a nice 20 minute workout. Count your reps. Tag a mate and post your reps and see if they can beat you!

23.01.2022 MOVEMENT TIP . Today we're looking at the polar bear press. . Polar bear press is a great way to get more shoulders into you body weight routine.... They are also a handstand push up progression. So no matter what your fitness goals are, polar bear press should be in your routine. . THE SET UP . First of all we want to set up like a push up, only we want our bum a lot higher in the air. Think of your downward dog position. . With our arms and legs straight, we're ready to start heading down. We want to go down and forward so our head touches the ground a few inches Infront out our hands. . The aim is to make a triangle with our head and hands at the bottom of the movement. . Now we press back up through our hands. You're going to feel a lot more of your shoulders compared to your standard push up. . Repeat for 3-5 set of 8 to 12 reps . Scaling this movement is pretty simple as well. The closer your hands are to your feet, the more difficult these get. So play around with it until you find the sweet spot to start with . . And remember we always want to push further. So every week step your feet in a little closer. @ Mermaid Beach, Queensland, Australia See more

20.01.2022 COFFEEEEEEEEEEE! . Just because you're watching your weight doesn't mean you need to cut out coffee Being aware of the calories and macros in your milk is a must though. Your average medium coffee on full cream milk is worth about 130 cal. Skinny is worth about 80 cal.... Soy and almond are about 130 as well but soy does have more protein. . But in saying that, your best bet is always black. Calorie wise you're single digits with black coffee. But don't forget that regardless of how you have your coffee, it is a mild diuretic Meaning that it causes your kidneys to flush extra sodium and water from the body. Scientists go back and forward about if this is dehydrating us. But just to play it safe get some extra water in everytime you have a coffee. See more

So today's tip for this is to focus on the other leg, the one we're not bringing up to our elbow. And my tip is super simple as well. Keep that leg straight.

14.01.2022 Train your body and your mind. One of the biggest hurdles I find with my training is staying out of my head. That voice is always there telling you to rest, telling you to stop. But I find the longer I can push past that voice, the further I can push the next time.
