25.01.2022 Monday lunch date with this good looking lady at the best cafe in Castle Hill. #thebaron #lunchdate #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodisfuel #foodie #fitfoodie #foodstagram

25.01.2022 One of my favourite things about Boxing day is Christmas day leftovers. Tonight it's Turkey, Pork (with crackling) with roast vegetables and gravy. #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #fitfoods #foodpics #foodpicsforfoodies

24.01.2022 Have you encountered one of those exercises that leaves you thinking "that didn't do much" but next day ... BOOM! That's how I feel about these "American Lunges" (the name coined by @benbrunotraining). #musclematters #movementmatters #movementismedicine #beatdadbod #garagegym #garageworkout #workoutathome #workout

23.01.2022 How we do leftovers at our place: Turkey steak, roast vegetables, beetroot falafel, black rice and Greek yoghurt. #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #foodstagram #eathealthy #eathealthyfood

23.01.2022 Here's another exercise using a rubber band that I recommend for healthy shoulders. #3 banded circles Stretch the band across your chest ... not too wide though as you will need to maintain that width. ... Complete four or five circles left and right. Like other band exercises the key is to maintain control throughout the movement. #movementmatters #mobility #movementismedicine #keepingthehillsmoving #health #fitness

23.01.2022 Todays workout from home. If you have access to kettlebells and a resistance band give it a try and let me know what you think. #musclematters #movementmatters #fitness #fitnessathome #workout #workoutathome #homegym #fitnessislife #kettlebells #kettlebellworkout

23.01.2022 Love buying local. Looking forward to this BC Beef Jerky. #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #fitfoods #foodpics #bcjerky #beefjerky #buylocal #hillsupmarket

22.01.2022 Heres a neat mobility routine ideal for those working from home, courtesy of my good friend Matt Pine from the University of New England. No equipment required!

21.01.2022 Leftovers for lunch: Mexican spiced Salmon fillet with refried beans, roast vegetables and Greek yoghurt. #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodpicsforfoodies #foodpics #fitfoods #foodie #fitfoodie

21.01.2022 Best Philly Cheesesteak since I was in Philly! #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #foodstagram #planb #phillycheesesteak #cheesesteak

20.01.2022 "You dont need to be on the same side to give some support." 2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways so its more important to stay connected with your family and friends. If something is not quite the same ask "Are you OK?"... Ask. Listen. Encourage action. Check in. A conversation could change, or even save, a life. #ruok #ruokday

20.01.2022 Annas Mexican Chicken Chilli from @hellofreshau ... great work @davinapratt 893 calories, 56.5g protein, 42.8g, 60.7g carbs #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #hellofresh #hellofreshaustralia #hellofreshpics #eatfresh

18.01.2022 Not your usual breakfast: Pork steaks with eggs and black beans on wholemeal toast topped with homemade barbecue sauce. Get in my belly! #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #foodstagram #breakfast #bigbreakfast

17.01.2022 Turning 47 years old today but still not too old to monkey around a little. #musclematters #movementmatters #monkeybars #fitness #workout #fitnessislife

16.01.2022 Today marks the start of the push-up challenge. The team at Arrow Physiotherapy will complete over 3000 push-ups in the next three weeks. Today I pushed out 100 (425). #pushforbetter #pushupchallenge #pushup #arrowphysiotherapy #keepingthehillsmoving

16.01.2022 Two of my favourite exercises are trap bar deadlifts and farmers walks. So as the little girl on the Old El Paso ad says "why not have both?" #musclematters #movementmatters #fitness #workout #fitnessislife #fitnessathome #fitnessvideos #workoutathome #workoutvideos #garagegym #garageworkout

15.01.2022 I'm very pleased to report that I'll be back at Arrow Physiotherapy for Remedial Massage Therapy treatments as from May 2. Availability will be limited initially as we adhere to the strict social distancing and hygiene rules. To make an appointment call us on 8850 7770 or visit us on-line at www.arrowphysiotherapy.com.au... #massage #massagetherapy #remedialmassage #arrowphysiotherapy #keepingthehillsmoving

15.01.2022 Heres another great mobility exercise for those dealing with tightness in their shoulders: #2 banded chest press Using a rubber tube or band pull it apart but not too wide. On a scale of one to ten (ten being as far apart as possible) I aim for four or five.... Press the band forward from your chest in a controlled manner with an emphasis on maintaining the width that you started with. #movementmatters #movementismedicine #mobility #keepingthehillsmoving

15.01.2022 I have a love-hate relationship with the sled: I love using the sled but my legs hate me for it the next day. #musclematters #beatdadbod #movementismedicine #sled #fitness #fitnessislife #cleanshred

14.01.2022 I'm sharing this post on behalf of Alan Stein, an author, speaker and former basketball fitness coach who has worked with some of the biggest names in the game. I've not met Alan, haven't even spoken to him but I've followed him on social media for long time. We don't always agree with each other but I respect his opinion and his work. Despite following him on social media for all these years I had no ideas of the battles he was facing. I won't dig into the post too much but take the time to have a read and realise that there is nothing wrong with suffering from anxiety or depressed thoughts or asking for help to deal with it.

14.01.2022 So you think tracking your calories is tough these days? Long before we had apps at our fingertips it was a thoroughly manual exercise (no pun intended) and you couldnt do it without one of these ... a calorie counting book. So next time you think that its too much effort to track your calories on your smartphone spare a thought for those that had to use one of these. ... #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #fitfoods #caloriecounting #diet #dietclub #allanborushek #dinosaur

13.01.2022 Home alone on a Friday night so it's time to clear out the fridge: Salmon fillet with roast vegetables, falafel, kebbeh, Greek yoghurt and tahini. #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #foodpicsforfoodies #fodpics #foodstagram #fitfoods

12.01.2022 Congratulations to my good friend Joel Manning on the opening of his new massage therapy clinic @high_country_massage_cooma . I completed my massage diploma with Joel 15 ago years ago. Joel, along with his wife Elie, have painstakingly renovated a dilapidated property in downtown Cooma into a gorgeous massage clinic and gift shop @snowygiftscooma #massage #massagetherapy #highcountry #highcountrymassage #highcountrymassagecooma

11.01.2022 This is my gym for the foreseeable future. An assortment of bargains off the net, hand-me downs from friends, new buys and stuff that Ive picked up off the side of the road. Most of the equipment has been gathering dust in my garage in recent years but Im glad to have collected it all and am putting it to good use now.... Whatever equipment you have at home this is your chance to put it into use. Theres no excuse! #musclematters #movementmatters #fitness #fitnessislife #fitnessathome #workout #workoutathome #garagegym #garageworkout

10.01.2022 How many times have you ordered the bircher muesli rather than the bacon and eggs thinking that you were taking the healthy option? If youre anything like me, plenty of times. While muesli isnt bad for you if youre trying to get into a calorie deficit they can hurt. A 50 gram serving will set you back 200 calories ... and believe me that you will have more than one serving. Add yoghurt and youre easily over 500 calories. And you may still be hungry which may cause you t...o snack later. The lesson is, if you want to get into a calorie deficit, know your calories and make them work for you. Dont just choose something because you think its the healthy option. #foodisfuel #foodisfamily #foodislife #foodie #fitfoodie #eatsmart #eathealthy #caloriecounting #caloriedeficit

01.01.2022 Many of my massage therapy clients come to me complaining of tightness in their upper back. Much of this "tightness" can be attributed to lack of shoulder mobility. Here are some simple exercises to help improve shoulder mobility. #1 banded pull aparts - use a rubber band or tube in prone or supine (overhand/underhand) grip. Its important to pull the band apart in a controlled fashion ... not too fast. I tell my clients to visualise their shoulder blades kissing each other.... #musclematters #movementmatters #mobility #movementismedicine #keepingthehillsmoving
