25.01.2022 My son doesnt like vegetables very much so we have to hide them in anything we can! He is obsessed with superheroes at the moment so we made hulk pancakes. 1 cup whole grain spelt flour 1 cup almond milk or wafer 1 egg ... 1 cup spinach #healthyeating #spinachpancakes #healthylifestyle #naturalfoodcolouring #hidingveggies #hulksmash

25.01.2022 We had the most amazing aai bowls at @komunebali, I have been trying to make them at home. They dont quite look as good but taste great all the same!! Smoothie bowl base: Frozen berries or acai Fresh orange chunks... Frozen mango Frozen pineapple 1tbs Honey (optional) 1/4 cup coconut yoghurt 1-Blended up. 2-Then place a layer of granola, muesli or nuts and seeds as a base. 3-Put a layer of frozen smoothie over the base 4- then top it with more granola/muesli/nuts and seeds, and fresh fruit. I like banana, kiwi fruit, blueberries, strawberries, fresh pineapple. But you can put whatever you like (or have on hand!) I used to find I would get an upset tummy from smoothie bowls as the oats in granola and muesli bothers me. So I have switched for a nuts, seeds and dried fruit mix and I dont have any problems anymore I find smoothie bowls are great for a breakfast as they are more filling than a smoothie alone. #acaibowl #smoothiebowls #freshfruit #nutrientdense #happygut #ilovefruit #naturescandy #soenergising

25.01.2022 Coconut miso soup! Im so excited to try this one at home. I was hesitant to try it as I wasnt sure if I would like it, but it was delicious!!! Miso soup base, mushrooms, sea vegetables and edamame. #komunebali #healthretreat #somanyfoodideas #delicious #plantbasedmeals #lovethatview #thebeachismyhappyplace #physiofit @alohamama_

24.01.2022 Glutes bridge series with my @fitpro_bootybands 20 bridges with feet hip width apart 10 knee opening 20 bridges with feet narrow... 10 knee opening with feet narrow This is the reality of trying to do Pilates with children running around for some reason as soon as your on the floor they see it as an invitation to jump on you! #pilates #bootybands #pilateswithkids #gluteactivationexercises #workingonthosebootygains #hipstability

24.01.2022 Bent Over Barbell Row 3-4 sets of 10reps Choose a weight that is a challenge for you to begin with, but you can maintain good form throughout the whole exercise.... Tip: If your new to weights, make sure you concentrate on both the push and release part of the exercise. Often people only focus on the push and release quickly. The release is actually harder for the muscle and if done slowly and with control with help to get better results in muscle growth #backworkout #girlswholift #iloveweights #healthylifestyle #weightlossjourney #ezyfit #physiofit

22.01.2022 When I was younger I always wanted to be thin and fit! I thought it came down to calorie counting and starving yourself... I am TERRIBLE at cutting calories and following a diet I love my food way too much When I was young I would try dieting I would eat my small salad and then end up binging on a whole loaf of bread and chocolate later What I discovered when I found this whole food plant based way of eating is that I can eat as much as I want and still loose w...eight and keep it off! I eat all the fruit, veges, whole grains and legumes I want! What I find is that I am so full of food that I dont really crave any junk food. #wholefoodplantbaseddiet #vegetarian #weightlossideas #healthyeating #healthylifestyle #lotsoffruitsandveggies #vegetarianbodybuilding #physiofit #rockwearaustralia

21.01.2022 My beautiful sister in law @veronicarigby made these delicious apricot balls for my birthday. Recipe: 200g dried apricots 1/2 cup (60g) almond meal ... 1 cup (80g) dessicated coconut 3tbsp honey Mix it all together and roll in coconut! This is my type of go-to snack for when Im having a sugar craving. I find it I just try and deny myself completely of anything sweet I end up splurging on something unhealthy. Whereas if I have a bliss ball or some dates, the craving goes away and I feel satisfied its all about making healthy eating enjoyable and realistic #healthysnacks #kidfriendly #glutenfree #blissballs #vegan #healthylifestyle

21.01.2022 The key to success in living a healthy lifestyle is loving it!! Eating a healthy diet: find recipes that you love! Dont waste time gagging on that boring salad. Find recipes that add flavour to veges so that you want to eat it. It might take time to find things that you enjoy but its an investment into you. One thing I do is when I do eat out, I always find healthy cafes or restaurants and get great inspiration for them. Exercise: Dont see it as a punishment or you wil...l never want to do it day in, day out. Find some type of exercise that you love and look forward to each day. It might be walking, running, weights, pilates, yoga, basketball, tennis, swimming. Anything where you move your body and strengthen your muscles will make you feel strong and healthy. Then dont forget sleep! This is something I am lacking with 2 little kids #mumlife. So I know how important it is But sleep always makes you more likely to want to eat right and exercise. Which in turn makes you happy #happyishealthy #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #weightlossideas #physiofit #exercisemakesmehappy #exercisemotivation

20.01.2022 Meet our Physiotherapist Madison Rigby I have a passion for Physiotherapy. I believe that exercise and Physiotherapy treatments can help people return to a state of true wellness rather then living in a state of sickness and injury. My favourite part of Physiotherapy is seeing people return to a happy lifestyle where they are free to do their hobbies as they please. ... I am Mum of 2 beautiful boys, Cody and Tristan who keep me on my toes! I love treating pregnancy and post pregnancy. I love helping people strengthen and tone their body so they have the energy and strength to keep up with little ones.

18.01.2022 Many women are worried about doing weights because they think it will make them look bulky. I have been doing weights for about 5 years now, 2 pregnancies in that time have slowed down my progress! But an increase in muscle size has been my goal for a while and Im definitely not bulky. Women dont have the same hormonal profile as men so its more difficult for women to put on size. Women that do have big muscles have been lifting heavy, been very targeted with their train...ing and supplementing for a long time to get where they are. Lifting weights and having more muscle mass increases your metabolism so that means your burning more calories at rest! So more muscle means you actually burn more fat while you eat/sleep/work. #strengthtraining #strongisthenewskinny #weightsforwomen #womenwholift #metabolismbooster #physiofit #injuryprevention #movement #weightlossideas #weightlossjourney

17.01.2022 Choc chip Anzac cookies. (Wholegrain, refined sugar free, can be vegan and dairy free) My son loves to bake! I would prefer him to eat treats that we have cooked together so I can atleast control the amount of sugar in them. This is my favourite healthy cookie recipe created by @wellnourished ... Recipe 100g butter (coconut oil if dairy free) 1/4 cup of honey/maple syrup or rice malt syrup 1/2 tsp bicarbonate Soda 1 cup wholegrain spelt (almond flour if GF) 1/2 cup dessicated coconut 1 1/4 cup oats 1/4-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Method Preheat the oven to 180/350 and line a large biscuit tray with baking paper. In a large pot, gently heat the butter and honey or rice syrup until melted. Remove from the heat. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix very well. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, and mix until well combined. The mixture should feel wet and sticky but presses together. With wet hands roll the mixture into approximately golf sized balls and place well apart (they do spread) on a large biscuit tray. Flatten very slightly with the back of a wet fork and bake until golden I like them soft and chewy so I only bake for 8-10mins #healthybaking #wholegrain #refinedsugarfree #bakingwithkids #lotsoffun #healthylifestyle #gottahavesometreatssometimes #georgiaharding #wellnourished

16.01.2022 Smashed avo on sweet potato toast Slice the sweet potato into sections about 1cm thick. Place it in the oven and roast on 180 for about 20mins (or until soft). Then mash some avocado, lemon juice to taste, salt and pepper and add on top of the roasted sweet potato. Serve with rocket or spinach. ... Eating healthy doesnt have to be complicated. In fact simplicity is the key to making it achievable on a day to day basis. #glutenfree #vegan #healthyeating #cleaneating #healthylifestyle #sweetpotatotoast #smashedavo

15.01.2022 Reformer side series Pilates is a beautiful combination of strength and stretching. Most exercise forms focus on strengthening which shortens the muscle. This is good, extra strength is what we want. However if the muscle gets too short we end up with pain and injuries. Pilates helps to lengthen the muscles which helps with pain and posture. #sideseries #reformer #sunshinecoastaustralia #reformerpilates #preppingformyclasses

15.01.2022 Have you got a roller sitting at home?? Have a lay down on it and turn it into an exercise! 1 - bring one leg up, alternating legs 20 (10 each side)... 2 - bring both legs up, alternating the leg that leads, x 15 3 - toe taps, bring both legs up. Then tap one toes one at a time down to the floor. Dont place it on the floor, just touch it. X 20, 10 each side 4 - bring one leg up and leave it there, being opposite arm into the air and then bring it out to the side. You can add a light weight here if you like. X 15 each side 5 - progression from number 4, extend the leg in the air as you open the arm out. X 15 each side 6 - relax and open your arms out to the side to stretch across the chest Tip: to activate lower abs make sure you back is staying flat on the roller and its not arching away. Pilates is a fantastic way to strengthen your core, it helps with back pain, hip pain, knee pain, pregnancy, post-partum, pelvic floor issues etc. if you have any of these its best to have a check up with your local health care professional before attempting #pilates #rollerpilates #turnyourstretchintoanexercise #backpain #corestability #balance #sunshinecoastqldaustralia #sunshinecoastmums #sunshinecoastpilates #physiofit

14.01.2022 Its easy to look at ourselves in the mirror and see the imperfections; scars, unwanted fat, saggy skin, or stretch marks. I used to be very self conscious of my body when I was young. Since my teenage years I have experienced injuries, surgeries, 2 miscarriages and 2 pregnancies. I am now in absolutely awe of what my body can do. I still have stretch marks and scars. But I now look at my beautiful boys and Im so grateful for the journey Ive been on. ... I also learnt that I can do hard things, that my health is largely in my hands. Now instead of seeing my scars as ugly Im excited to see what else I can achieve.

11.01.2022 Dumbbell shoulder workout Incline shoulder press Standing shoulder press Car drivers ... Upright row 3-4 sets of 10 each exercise When I first started shoulder exercises it felt foreign, I was a cardio girl who only knew how to run, ride and do Pilates. But I decided I wanted to start weights to help me with some shoulder and back issues I was having. I was so surprised at how weak I was!! I could only lift 1kg with proper form, I felt really silly standing next to guys lifting these massive weights next to me. But gradually I have gotten stronger and now I dont feel dumb standing at the weights rack anymore... If your just starting to get into strength training begin light and work your way up, its better to go lighter with proper form until your confident with the exercise. #weightstraining #girlswholift #vegetarianbodybuilding #healthyeating #healthylifestyle #weightloss #physiofit #functionaltraining #injuryprevention #ezyfit #shoulderworkout #healthyishappy

11.01.2022 This quote is written on my local fruit shop and I love it!!! I found when I started eating a whole food plant based lifestyle I didnt need to count calories. I eat foods without labels and ingredients, just fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, herbs and spices. I can eat as much as I want and enjoy it without having to feel restricted or stressing about weighing food or adding up carbs/proteins/fats etc. #wholefoodplantbaseddiet #realfood #weightloss #weightlossjourney #enjoyyourfood #healthylifestyle #calorierestrictionsucks

10.01.2022 I hate cardio!! Haha. Im not one of those people who love running endless hours. I do enjoy a HIIT session occasionally but I cant do it more then once a week as I find it takes all my energy the next day... and That might be ok for someone sitting at a desk, but I have to keep up with 2 crazy boys all day I love weights, walking and Pilates. Weights increases your metabolism for 24-48hrs after you workout. So it doesnt just burn calories while your doing it, you conti...nue to burn calories for a long time after. Find what type of exercise you enjoy and go for it! #weightstraining #strengthtraining #pilates #physiofit #findwhatyouenjoy #healthylifestyle #loveyourbody #loveyourlife #sunshinecoastmums #sunshinecoastqldaustralia

08.01.2022 Rice paper rolls One of my favourite quick, throw together lunches! Packed with veges and super easy to make. I dont like the vermicelli noodles so I literally just fill it with veges.

Put the veges in and wrap like the instructions say on the packet. Serve with satay dipping sauce my fav! Et voila . #ricepaperrolls #healthylifestyle #sataydippingsauce #packedwithveges #vegan #wholefoods #healthyeatingmakesmehappy

08.01.2022 Many people have asked what the difference is between Pilates and yoga. There are many exercises that are done in both yoga and Pilates so there will be a fair bit of overlap, but overall they do have a slightly different focus. In general the focus of Pilates is on muscular strength and control. Whereas yoga focuses on stretching, flexibility and the well-being of the mind. Pilates involves using exercise apparatus like small weighted balls, large exercise balls, disks, or ...a trapeze table; all you need for Yoga is a mat. In answer to this question I usually suggest people to try both and see which they prefer! Both are amazing!! So its really just personal preference. #pilates #yoga #reformerpilates #movement #physiofit #healthylifestyle #mindbodyconnection #happymindhappylife

07.01.2022 Strengthening the lower back, core and glutes can significantly reduce the risk of many injuries including lower back, hips and knees. These areas are our main focus in Pilates. I dont do Pilates everyday, mostly I do it 1 or 2 x per week. Its a fantastic thing to do to help support other types of exercise, not only does it decrease the rate of injury but it also increases your level of performance. #pilates #movement #healthylifestyle #fitball #glutestrengthingexercise #pelvicstability #injuryprevention #physiofit

05.01.2022 This was me today!! I had a busy day with the kids, trying to get housework, paperwork and errands done. I went to the gym feeling tired and frustrated. After my first exercise I thought about finishing my workout and going any sitting in the change room while my kids were in crèche But I did my second exercise and energy picked up, by my third exercise I had forgotten the day and was into my workout. When I left the gym I had a new wind of energy, that tight feeling in my chest had gone and I felt happy and ready for dinner and bedtime with the kids.. taking the time out for the gym makes me a better mum, wife and an overall happier person! #exerciseistherapy #healthyishappy #weightstraining #ezyfit #healthylifestyle #sunshinecoastmums #physiofit

02.01.2022 I love weight training! It makes me feel strong and gives me energy. Often people think you are into 1 type of exercise, either you run or cycle, your the yoga/pilates type of person or your a body builder. Reality is that our bodies need a variety of training to stay strong and healthy. Too much weights training and you get shortened tight muscles which can lead to injury. Too much cardio and you can get overuse injuries in the knees/hips/ankles or back. If you only do Pila...tes and yoga you miss out on the benefits for the cardiovascular system. The best a variety of training to target all areas; strength, stability, control, cardiovascular health and balance. My week usually consists of 4 weights sessions, 1 HIIT session or LISS depending on how Im feeling and 1 Pilates. @scripted_maddie #weightloss #weightsvscardio #strengthtraining #cardioworkout #reformerpilates #matpilates #functionaltraining #physiofit #healthylifestyle #balance
