08.04.2022 My new bestie training buddy When the weather heats up, no need to cancel your workout, simply adapt and keep going. A simple spray bottle, some cold (or better - frozen) water & a cold towel (pop a damp towel into the freezer for an hour or two) and you are set.... #noexcuses

26.03.2022 Get behind this great initiative. Only takes a minute to sign up. No light rail & too many cars on the road already - this makes perfect

07.03.2022 The weekend is nearly here - Yay! Its easy to get caught up with things we HAVE TO do, but be sure to make some time for things that make you happy too. What's one thing you can do this weekend that you love, but maybe haven't done for a while? #healthyhabits #habitsforlife #feelgood #selfcare #selfcarematters

27.02.2022 Working towards becoming fit and healthy is all about forming better habits. Here are some habits we can look into while reaching our fitness goals. 1. Eat according to the results we want to achieve. Macro Tracking is a great method to use if you are looking to achieve specific results. It can take some practice in the beginning, but it can also give you some extra flexibility with your meals. Speak to your expert Nutrition person if you’d like help with Macro tracking. MyFi...tnessPal is also a great app you can try. 2. See food as fuel for our body. Food is essential energy for our bodies. When our body is getting too much energy, our bodies store that as fat to burn later. To maintain a healthy weight, we only need to intake enough calories (energy) for our bodies to perform properly throughout the day. 3. Eat home-cooked meals often. You don’t really know what exactly is in your food when you are ordering. But when you choose to cook at home, you have so much more control over what goes into your meal and you know EXACTLY what's in there. 4. Limit calories from drinks. Water is the best drink out there for our bodies and has 0 calories. That should be what you’re drinking most of to achieve your health and fitness goals. But green tea and coffee aren’t bad choices either - just be mindful and practice moderation. 5. Careful not to consume even healthy foods in high amounts. You can work out and eat only healthy foods all day but if you are eating too much you won’t see any results. 6. Spends time outside. Getting into nature can do wonders for your overall physical and mental health. Ever noticed how much happier you are when you are outdoors more often? Motivation doesn't always come naturally for everybody, all the time. So learning some strategies/habits are so important to work on implementing this in our own lives in order to achieve our health and fitness goals.

05.02.2022 So excited that we will be back training in our lovely park next week from Monday 11th Oct. Wookie and I will be waiting excitedly for you. New updated timetable on our website: https://refreshyou.com.au/exercise-locations/annandale/

01.02.2022 We are in print with a few ideas on how to refresh your activity and get more from the time you have. The Hornsby Ku-ring-gai post, Page 28 is where it is happening. https://bit.ly/3gOD70W

25.01.2022 Every class! Just a little bit more.

24.01.2022 Reset your thinking is an important part of the building and maintenance of a healthy and consistent exercise habit. But where should you start? How about trying these 3 things to start with. 1. Acknowledging what is missing or broken and framing this more positively. This is your-self talk, the messages you keep telling yourself. Changing this from I can’t to I can or I am 2. Change your language, how you talk to others. As trainers we often hear great examples, I hav...e never been very coordinated I am not sure I can do that. How about re-framing this to I haven’t tried that before, but I will give it a go, I want to learn. A growth mindset. 3. Surround yourself with people with the same mindset. A great example is to train in a group with people who want to achieve the same or similar outcomes. It is exactly what we do at refresh YOU. See more

24.01.2022 Regular exercise can help you help the budget. $320 million a year spent to manage chronic disease One Billion dollars are spent on planning, coordinating, and reviewing chronic disease management 1 million Australians have Type 2 diabetes. If we needed a reason to encourage everybody to start exercising regularly those numbers are a good place to start. Type 2 is wholly preventable with regular exercise and dietary changes. Heart disease, strokes, and vascular diseas...e risks are reduced if you exercise regularly through life. Looking for a reason to regularly exercise, it is all in the numbers. See more

24.01.2022 Looking for a way to utilise your weekend? Kick it off with this killer workout! https://www.womenshealthmag.com//g32616/upper-abs-workout/

22.01.2022 Challenge yourself! We are sure you have heard this before at class. It is simple, for your body to adapt and become stronger or burn more calories, it has to be challenged. Move more, lift more, go further, or move faster are all forms of challenge. If you have a step count below 10000 per day, lifting this number is a form of challenge. How have you challenged yourself this week or how are you going to challenge yourself for the rest of the week?

22.01.2022 Hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday!

22.01.2022 Flexibility and Mobility, do you know the difference? You might even think these terms can be used interchangeably. Well actually they are very different. Flexibility is your muscles ability to lengthen passively, a static stretch is an example. Mobility relates to your joints and their ability to move actively through their full range of motion, lifting your leg in the air to a 90 degree angle. Here is the thing though, in order to have good mobility you do actually need goo...d flexibility. Often at the end of a workout we stretch and take care of flexibility but often forget mobility. I bet you have heard your trainer gentle persuading you to go deeper into your squats, lower in your push ups and extend your arms more in a bicep curl. That is how we take care of mobility and strength, two components important to maintaining both your flexibility and mobility. Keep working that range of motion and if you want a bit more of an explanation have a read. https://www.healthline.com//why-you-dont-need-to-be-gumby- See more

22.01.2022 Is stress taking over your day? It's no secret that stress and poor-health feed into one another. But how do we slow down when we start feeling overwhelmed? A pro tip: 15mins a day of breathing exercises. .Why do breathing exercises work? ... You may notice when you're stressed you can experience physical changes such shallow breathing, shaking, or muscles tensing. This is your mental stress translating to physical stress (somatic response). So when you use targeted exercises which aim to relax your muscles and deepen your breathing it relays back to your brain to stop releasing unnecessary adrenaline as there is no present threat. This is not to suggest that there is one simple solution to feeling less stressed however physical techniques such as deep-breathing or jogging can definitely help! https://www.healthline.com//mental-hea/relieve-stress-fast

21.01.2022 If you are searching for the motivation to make a change, start exercising, get into better shape. the best place to start is your reason "WHY". For some it is a frank conversation with the Doctor, or training for an event or a look in the mirror. If the "WHY" is clear and strong enough all you then need to do is seek out the how and get started.

20.01.2022 Successfully achieving fitness, health, or any kind of goal has to involve some kind of accountability. We believe this can take any form, everybody is different, find the method that works for you, and success is one step closer. It could be your trainer check-in, filling in an app, recording your activity on a fitness tracker watch or app, posting a progress video, or picture on a social site. These are all methods that work, the key, do not keep your goal a secret, share it. It can be as simple as this example. Why not try it, what have you got to loose?

20.01.2022 It is a great motivator to visualize what the new you will look like. What you will be able to do, the cloths you can wear, how much weight you have lost or how fast or far you may run. These are visible changes. But what about how you will feel? The invisible changes. How does this list sound? Lower Heart rate More energy Brain chemistry will change A positive affect on your Hormones... Increases in mitochondria Sleep better Decrease in blood pressure The good thing is these changes are happening even if you are not running faster or you haven’t got to the other goals yet. Keep exercising the changes are happening. See more

19.01.2022 Fascinating! For those interested in the Mediterranean diet a recent study, which was conducted over a 20-year period, has published results on the relationship between BMI, the mediterranean diet and death rate. "The single most important finding in my mind is that the Mediterranean diet seemed to compensate the negative effect of [high] BMI on longevity,". https://www.abc.net.au//health-bmi-vs-diet-for-ri/12688270

17.01.2022 Balance Restored! A big statement made with few words. At refresh YOU, it we prioritise our health which ensures all the other things can be given your full attention and energy. What does Balance restored mean to you?

15.01.2022 Flexibility and mobility often focus on the big joints, the knees, ankles, hips, and shoulders. What about a joint we all need to keep in good condition because it is so vital for much of what we do with our hands, your wrists. Often when we do a lot of mat work in a prone position our wrists are put under a lot of pressure, Push ups and straight arm planks are exercises commonly associated with this. Not to mention lots of us are working from home and potentially at a desk or table not ideally suited to working from. The great thing about the stretches in this article is you can do them anywhere. So if push-ups or mat work are causing you issues, try these stretches, and see if they make a difference. https://www.livestrong.com//190443-exercises-for-wrist-fl/

14.01.2022 Did you know that exercise not only improves energy but also your sleep quality? We know that exercise raises your body temperature, but when it drops back down to normal it can trigger drowsiness that can help you get to sleep. Add the benefit of light exposure from outdoor exercise and your circadian rhythm also benefits. Regular exercise gives you more energy AND better sleep, that's a win win! https://www.sleepfoundation.org//how-exercise-impacts-slee

The take away from this article is you should get into the habit of checking food labels for all foods. Where the energy comes from and also what ingredients are in the item is important for you health. https://runningmagazine.ca//gluten-free-foods-can-contain/

10.01.2022 Feeling stressed? My go-to would be outdoor exercise But what else can you do? Here's a few handy tips to boost your mood. #annandale #lilyfield #leichhardt #glebe #stanmore #mentalhealth #selfcare

09.01.2022 On days when you are not feeling up to doing your usual exercise routine it's better to modify than miss it completely. A gentle walk, a light stretch or just doing half of what you planned.

09.01.2022 Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.

09.01.2022 Are you having trouble sleeping at this time of year? If you don't have air conditioning then I presume the answer is yes. The advice from the WA health department is very sensible. Starting and ending with my favourites. 1. Have a cool shower 2. A small wet towel lying on your body combined with a fan. 3. Avoid spicy food, caffeine during the afternoon to help your sleep. 4. Be consistent with your go to bed and wake up times (routine)... 5. Flip your pillow to the cool side if you wake up. If you want some more suggestions have a read of their advice. https://healthywa.wa.gov.au///Sleeping-in-very-hot-weather See more

07.01.2022 Mondays...a perfect time to start new goals. Even simple goals like getting to all your sessions this week.

06.01.2022 If starting and maintaining an exercise habit was easy, we would all be in good shape. When we take charge, it means we decide to remove the obstacles and take responsibility. If you lack the confidence to exercise, or you get discouraged and give up or lose motivation. Here are some tips to help take charge. 1. Exercise doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Doing something is better than doing nothing, you don’t have to train hard all the time. Concentrate on turning up. 2. Be... Kind to yourself and practice self-compassion. Don’t get down on yourself for how you feel or what you can or can’t do, your current fitness level. Look at the past or mistakes as opportunities to learn. 3. Lower your expectations and be realistic about what you can achieve and how long it can take. You didn’t lose fitness overnight, so don’t expect things to reverse in the same way. Fitness and health are for life not for a week.

05.01.2022 A few simple tips to keep you in check over the holiday season. Enjoy the holidays but try to balance out the good with the bad!!

03.01.2022 Letting go of the excuses and changing your mindset makes all the difference. Reaching your goal suddenly becomes a lot easier.

02.01.2022 Reset your thinking with an "Awe Walk". When it comes to working on mental health and skills you normally end up with a checklist to try this and that. An awe walk is perfect because it involves the simple skill of taking notice of your surroundings, the small details that surround you, the views, and the moments. I have noticed the power of this when we last ran weekend run sessions. We focused on heading into the bush on routes members had never seen before. I think the main takeaway from these runs was the feeling of "awe", "wow this is on our doorstep, it's so amazing". This leaves you feeling refreshed, less stressed, and can help with anxiety. Try it you won't regret it. https://www.smh.com.au//how-awe-walks-could-do-wonders-for

02.01.2022 Balance Restored, last time we asked you what do you think is life balance restored for you? This time I am going to ask a similar question. Eating a balanced diet, basically eat all the calories and nutrients your body requires for your activity level. No junk, no empty calories. Do you think you are eating a balance diet? YES or No in the comments.
