25.01.2022 Not long and I will be back in my happy place for more learning and self discovery. The importance of always learning, always evolving, growing...life is ever evolving so don't stagnate... adapt, move, flow with life. Don't fight or resist, know that the path is what you make it. Embrace the journey, live by your own rules and hold on for the ride!

24.01.2022 Another reminder of the benefits of exercise and healthy eating and how they can impact your long term health and wellness!

23.01.2022 Amen --- My girl @marion_weareactive is on point --- I was noticing the other day how much I spend on gym classes, yoga, pilates, saunas, meditation classes, books, good quality food (and maybe coffee ) and it adds up. Why do I pay for gym classes when I am a trainer? Because I like variety, I am not a big fan of cardio on my own and I love to get a sweat... on with others! Yoga and meditation are good for my soul. Slowing things down, taking those moments to breathe! --- My health and wellness are the most important things in my life. How much would you pay to be healthy again if you got sick? Is it not better to spend the money on keeping this amazing vessel we have been gifted in the best condition that we can? I am just like a very expensive sports car... She maybe a little expensive on the upkeep but she surely runs well! --- Money well spent! See more

23.01.2022 How do you breathe? Are you a chest breather? It is something so fundamental to life and yet most people are doing it wrong. Do you know what your diaphragm is? What it does? How to breathe is a great TEDx talk by psychologist and breathing expert Dr. Belisa Vranich (The Breathing Class by Dr. Belisa Vranich) which can answer all those questions and show you how to horizontal breathe, the way we are designed. Happy breathing!

22.01.2022 Great question to ask... how do you feel? Are you hungry? We often eat out of habit, whether it be a certain time of the day, or we are at a certain place (ie... just get home and reach for the fridge door). Precision Nutrition have put together a great little infograph timeline which may help you decide whether you are hungry an when you should eat! Happy eating

20.01.2022 How to 'bow' a stretch and get deep into that hip capsule! Try it... you will thank me (or maybe not!). Our hips need a lot of love...and sometimes the pleasure is the pain! Happy bowing!

17.01.2022 There is no 'good' or 'bad' food. There is just food. Some food is more nutritionally dense and we should try to consume most of our daily energy from these, however labelling something 'good' or 'bad' creates unhealthy mental images and feelings associated with eating them. Precision Nutrition once again have a great info graph to answer the age old question I get daily...'what should I eat?'.

14.01.2022 @joetherapy showing a great little QL release for when your lower back gets a little grumpy. - Here's a little refresher on your QL muscle - It can cause you all sorts of back pain and refer pain into your hip and glutes. Having a tight QL can mean frustrating back pain that can cause way too much trouble... - What does the Quadratus Lumborum muscle do? - It's located at the top of your pelvis and attaches on to the bottom rib and the side of your spine. It helps you Extend backward Bend to the side Bend forwards The QL can also refer pain into the butt and side of the hip! - Symptoms of QL Dysfunction! - Deep, aching in the low back, often worse in sitting or standing. Pain with coughing and sneezing. Pain rolling to either side when lying on your back. Pain can refer to the groin and mimic sciatica symptoms. You may have one side of your pelvis lifted higher than the other. - HERE'S HOW TO PERFORM THE QL RELEASE! - 1 Start by finding a wall or a doorway. Anywhere you can prop one leg up and lay the other flat. 2 Grab your favorite tennis ball or lacrosse ball. Lay on your back and place one leg on the wall, so your knee creates a 90-degree angle. 3 Keep the other leg fully extended. *We're bending the knee, so our low back stays flatter on the ground and helps us get enough pressure on the QL! 4 Place the ball on the QL. 5 Now roll towards that side a little bit. *We want to go into the QL at an angle! 6 Once you're on the QL, bend your towards your chest and use your opposite arm to continue to pull as far as you can. 7 Once you can't pull anymore, reach your other arm up and behind you as much as possible. - Cheat Codes ft.

13.01.2022 Quadratus Lumborum - also known as your QL. What does your QL do? Simply...it connects your pelvis to your spine. It is the deepest abdominal muscle that sits posterially and is commonly referred to as a back muscle. The QL has 4 functions:... Lateral flexion of the spine (leaning to one side) Extension of the spine (leaning backwards) Fixes the 12th rib during forced expiration (assists diaphragm in inhalation) Elevates the llium with ipsilateral (same side) contraction Do you get deep aching in the lower back? It is worse when you sit or stand? Do you feel pain when you cough or sneeze? Are you in pain rolling either side when lying down? = you may have a overused QL. To be certain it is recommended to go see a health care professional. When the muscles of the lower spine are weak or inhibited, the QL often picks up the slack. If the QL is constantly contracted it can result in muscle fatigue, which Can result in decreased blood flow, adhesions in the muscle and fascia which may develop and result in muscle spasms. The QL can also refer pain to the glutes and side of the hip. Watch out for my next post on ways in which you can give some to your QL. #qllove #personaltrainersydney #quadratuslumborum See more

11.01.2022 I feel blessed to have spent 2 weeks in Bali. Taking some much needed time out to ground, reconnect, open my mind and spirit to new experiences and learnings. My path is becoming more clear and I am blessed to have met a whole new tribe of sangha!

10.01.2022 Interesting watch on obesity, how it is currently viewed and how 'crash' or 'fad' diets can increase the problem and not be a long term solution. It may get you to think about obesity a little differently....

08.01.2022 A little self care

07.01.2022 The importance of the old saying 'You are what you eat' can never be overlooked. What we fuel our body with is vital to our long term health. How can we run optimally if we are putting in sub-standard, chemical and additive ridden fuel? Nutrition as medicine is a crucial in living a long healthy life!

06.01.2022 Be mindful of how you use your MIND - todays lesson from my meditation workshop! Our minds are incredibly powerful. We need to use caution when using it. Negativity can breed negativity. You choose how you respond to the world.

04.01.2022 Yes yes yes! 'Exercise' doesn't need to be grinding it out in the gym or on a treadmill. They say variety is the spice of life. Important to incorporate a few key elements: resistance training, cardio, skill/technical training, recovery and FUN! Never forget the FUN, whether it is playing in the park, hiking, rock climbing, playing bullrush with the kids...

04.01.2022 P R E A C H! The concept of the 'perfect' body has evolved over the decades. We are exposed to an onslaught of 'ideal' body images from birth. Images are powerful and their impact on our psyches and our neurochemistry can not be underestimated. We are living in an era where we are teaching our children and ourselves that there is a 'right' way to look and if you don't fit that mould then you should be unhappy and do everything you can to change that. However as this article ...shows, the 'perfect' body has evolved dramatically over the decades. We hold ourselves up to an ideal that is not plausible for most humans. When I was growing up it was to be stick thin, to have a flat stomach, thighs that don't touch, hip bones that protrude. Now it has shifted to defined legs (now it is ok to touch as long as they are muscular and it looks like you don't miss leg day), a 6 pack, defined arms and a big booty (big boobs also don't go astray). We have moved into the 'fitness realm' where everyone want to look like they compete in a fitness bikini or fitness model competition. And let me tell you, quite a few of the competitors are NOT healthy. But that a subject for another time. As the article demonstrates, culturally we tend to hold up one particular ideal body image at a time. This 'ideal model' body comes naturally to less than 5% of the population. We are holding ourselves up to an ideal that isn't plausible for 95% of the population. Men and women will put themselves on unhealthy diet and exercising programs to look the way they are 'supposed' to look. Ask yourself what might happen if we are exposed, on a continual basis to images of men and women of various shapes and sizes... may we start accepting and love our body a bit more? Aim to be your own healthy, your own fit. Find your own balance in life. "As Tina Fey wrote in Bossypants, Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. Rather than chase that preposterous laundry list of attributes, embrace what your momma gave you! And remember: The media’s idea of beauty is subjective and changes, but confidence is always in style." - AMEN!

02.01.2022 A D D I C T ? Sugar is the scape goat for many things.. and yes you may be addicted to sugar. What is more likely is that you are addicted to the combination of sugar AND fat together. @bdccarpenter put together a fantastic post on just this! Sugar is commonly described as addictive. It helps make foods taste great and tasty foods are easy to overeat.... However, sugar is easy to identify in most products when compared to fat. If a cupcake tastes sweet, people know it probably is high in sugar but they don't necessarily taste the added fats such as oil and butter. When looking at research on addictive foods, the most commonly referenced addictive-like foods are actually high in sugar (or processed grains such as flour) AND high in additional fats. Sugar is an easy scapegoat for a much more complicated issue.
