25.01.2022 Whats going on in the outside world cant effect your inner world unless you allow it. Everyone is Melbourne is feeling the restrictions and I never thought in my lifetime I would have an actual curfew! It cliche but you HAVE to choose what you focus on. ... For me this means; Connecting more with our clients through livestream Delivering the best 3 part series 3 Hidden Fat Loss Handbrakes More gardening Workouts Afternoon naps when I can Studying Cooking amazing meals Family time Connecting with friends I would encourage writing a list of your own as we tackle the next 6 weeks together x

25.01.2022 Training makes me happy. I find that if I am not hitting a frequency of at least three sessions per week, my head is all over the place. I hear ALL the time is how do you always get motivated to train and stay consistent. The truth is I am not always motivated, and I know on those days when I am feeling like slacking off this is what I do. Warm-up slowly and as the feeling of tightness and discomfort leaves your body, you will start feeling good in the movements.... Have a program to follow and go into 'robot mode' working through it and ticking off your sets; don't overthink it. Set a timer on your watch in between sets so that you keep moving through the sets If you find you are not likely to work off a program on your own, this is more common than you think. I would then opt to work one on one with a Coach or join in on a class. I hope this helps you to nail your training consistency this year.

25.01.2022 The biggest lesson in happiness is find joy in the mundane and simple things. When we spend our life chasing the Big Bang exciting goals we crave a chase and buzz which can only be satisfied sporadically. While these things are great, and everyone loves the rush it can leave you feeling flat and just looking for the next hit. This isnt all of what life is about. Especially now with all of us in this ground-hog-day loop it is more important than ever. ... Find happiness in; A really good coffee and how it smells How nice your bed feels as you fall asleep Feeling of Sunlight hitting your face Lying on your back making animal shapes in clouds on a blue sky day Appreciating the detail in a flower or anything in nature Once you are present with the little things happiness will always find you.

24.01.2022 We thought you might like to try a new recipe this week. This slow-cooked lamb curry is a winner.

This is a great winter dish that you can put on mid-morning and leave it bubbling away all day filling the house with amazing aromas. ... Enjoy x https://thequeenoflean.com.au/slowcookedlambcurry/

20.01.2022 33kg down and going strong! Blythe shares her story around how she would fall into the negative mindset trap of being all or nothing. This ultimately lead her to yo-yo with her weight for years! Before starting with us, She felt there wasnt a way out, that things were too far gone. She had also labeled herself as not being a gym person and had to really shift her way of thinking to achieve these results. ... Through our guidance and working closely with Head Coach Faye, Blythe started to learn a balanced approach to food and no longer felt like she was on a diet. Add to this she found so much value in having someone to guide her training rather than feeling overwhelmed. Now, her life and mindset is TOTALLY different. Listen to her clip to learn more.

20.01.2022 Looking for some recipe inspiration which just happens to be TOTALLY delicious!? Life shouldnt be about restriction. It is all about upgrading your choices and finding that sweet spot of balance where you can love food and love your results. This macro-friendly mousse from Coach Bea is a great way of including a treat which is both nutrient-dense and delicious. Avocados are a great source of good fats which is essential for the health of every cell in your body, as well as... hormone production. Cocoa is a powerhouse food which is packed with magnesium, antioxidants and polyphenols. It has such benefits as protecting cells, lifting your mood and possibly lowering blood pressure. This recipe is simple to make and one that you can sneak in as a health food. https://thequeenoflean.com.au/macrofriendlymousse/

20.01.2022 Are you one of the many women who struggle with your metabolism and a low functioning thyroid? Often, if you have been found with hypothyroidism, the typical response is to give you thyroid hormone and to stay on this the rest of your life. The problem is, this doesnt really address the root cause and how this started in the first place. If you are nodding your head then one of the first things you need to do is work with someone who runs a FULL thyroid panel to help pinpo...int where in the chain of events things are breaking down. This includes TSH, T3, T4, Free T3, Free T4, Thryoid Binding Globulin, Thyroid Anibodies and Reverse T3 From a recent seminar I thought I would share this segment discussing how stress can actually be the cause behind a low functioning thyroid. This definitely isnt the only answer, however it is one that often never gets explored. This would show up in your results as; Low TSH - meaning the thyroid isnt getting the message to produce throid hormone High Reverse T3 - AN inactive form of thyroid hormone which actually puts the brakes on your metabolism. I hope this is helpful and feel free to post any questions below

18.01.2022 Sitis goal was to lose weight so her engagement ring could fit her and to feel better about herself. This chick started As a client literally the day before stage four lockdown kicked in. She decided to stick to her guns and go after her goal regardless. And in eight weeks has dropped a huge 16 kg! So proud that she decided to follow through and that our zoom PT sessions are delivering epic results like this! ... This is what Siti Had to Say; When I first met Bea, I was ashamed of who I had let myself become physically. I had started to lose confidence in myself and my ability to turn my life around. Bea is an incredible support, coach and motivator. Bea has helped me become healthier and stronger both mentally and physically. During such an abnormal experience such as Stage 4 lockdown, Bea has helped me get out of my funk by listening and encouraging me with a mix of kindness and tough love. Which honestly, who doesnt love a personal cheerleader who yells out things like- Titties up!!!! Squeeze that butt, make it eat your undies!!! If you want a coach that will care about you, and who isnt just a trainer, look no further.

18.01.2022 Habits have nothing to do with Willpower and everything to do with knowing your triggers & having a strategy to overcome them. I thought I would share another section from our recent seminar Kicking Cravings to the Curb with you to give some insights if you are really wanting to work on making some lasting changes. I always have Charles Duhigg to thank for his book, The Power of Habits. This provides a simple formula which works time and time again with our clients. And yo...u know what, if you dont always nail it, you can always rework the formula again. Hope this helps!

16.01.2022 A conversation which is coming up A LOT at the moment. Well hey, we are all locked in our homes right with a unique set of stressors we didnt sign up for. Often when it comes to binging or making poor food choices it has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with your triggers. Triggers can include things such as; Emotions; loneliness, sadness, boredom etc.... Stress; which dysregulates your blood sugar & increases cravings Situation; When a particular habit is linked to food and or sugar Lack of Sleep; You have 60% more activity in the part of your brain called the amygdala which equates to short term satisfaction and poor decision making. Your blood sugar is also more dysregulated and your body tends to process glucose poorly. When you are also low in energy sugar cravings are higher. Once you know your triggers, a good strategy is to come up with a plan to REPLACE or DISTRACT you from the habit. Here are some other ideas what we thought would be helpful x

15.01.2022 I had to push through the procrastination majorly to get this session started. Of course once I did, the funk lifted a little more with every set I completed. I sure if you are living in Melbourne at the moment you may find yourself often feeling some sort of funk. My saving grace is connecting with my team and staying consistent with training and also education. If you have access to a barbell, there are some great exercise variations to try. This amazing programming was d...esigned by my Head Coach Faye. BTW my butt is killing me after this, which makes me even happier!

14.01.2022 To say we are proud of Blythe is selling it short! She had spent the better part of 20 years yo-yo dieting and engaging in sporadic bursts of exercise but hated. With this mindset, she found it hard to stay consistent! She was either on, or TOTALLY off the wagon. But through education, guidance, accountability and support from Head Coach Faye, she has now dropped a total of 30kg. Blythe has been doing much more than surviving lockdown, shes absolutely thriving and we are... so proud of how far she has come. The best part of her transformation; She has gone from cardio junkie and hating exercise, to absolutely loving weight training how strong her body looks and feels. She was fearful of food and constantly finding herself in binge restrict cycles to having a flexible approach to nutrition that allows her to lose weight minus the deprivation. Whats even more impressive? Is that she feels that once she gets to her goal weight, she will be able to maintain it. Now that is a result!

Through working with the amazing Coach Bea she has achieved a huge drop of 9.5kg in 8 weeks, she has really made her focus around shifting habits and moving more. She is loving the Livestream classes and connecting with the community and the personalised Coaching. ... What Paula had to say; "What I did need was the motivation and support.

We hosted a get-together to celebrate Coach @Jerri Zerafa birthday and also to come together for some laughs and to dust off some of the lockdown 2.0 feels.

07.01.2022 What a day! So much to celebrate! (Aside from the lack of changes to our restrictions) Not only was it Fathers Day, but it was also Coach Beas And Miltons Birthday.

A shout out to Bea who literally started the day we had to shut our doors and go all online.

You were my first staff member at HQ in charge of meet and greet, when we first opened and have been by my side everywhere we go! What a crew!

06.01.2022 Ever feel that affirmations feel fake and forced? I have Coach Joanne Reynolds to thank for her insights around this topic, and after chatting with her it really got me thinking. We are told to use affirmations to help retrain our brain but how often do you just feel you are telling yourself a pack of lies? An example of this is ... I am strong I am fit and healthy My thyroid is healthy I love life in balance I am a happy healthy person who feeds my body with healthy food Now these are all great things to tell yourself but if you dont believe you are in this place currently, your head can be quick to come back an opposite rebuttable! Maybe try; I am on a journey of increasing strength I am on a journey of being fitter and healthier I am on a journey of healing my thyroid I am on a journey of finding balance I am on a journey of finding health and improving nutrition Does anyone else feel that this type of affirmation lands better and would be more empowering?

03.01.2022 Last night we had a little bit of ISO-snow come and visit us up in the Hills. It was so magical! I had to pinch myself looking at our house covered in snow in a full moon. We thought it looked like a scene out of Kill Bill For those of you who dont know, I spent three years in my 20s travelling. I ran chalets in ski resorts in Austria, Colorado and Canada and I am obsessed with the snow. We have taken Ruby to the snow before, but this was the first time she could apprec...iate it, play in it and see the magic in it. Feeling blessed!

03.01.2022 Choose progress over perfection. A mindset trap that we often can all into is either ALL or NOTHING and if we arent doing it all what is the point? I wanted to share a recent client story which I found super inspiring. We are currently doing a 20kg in 2020 Project which is a 24-week program teaching our clients a sustainable longterm approach to their goals and fitness. Since the beginning, we had one client who had been thrown all sorts of curveballs. She is the head of a... team which are working in a COVID ward at a hospital. Long hours, a huge amount of stress and she was feeling like she wasnt doing this program the way she had planned or imagine. Through talking with her Coach, she was able to make simple changes, ones that she knew she could stick to. However, in the back of her mind the whole time still felt disappointed in herself and felt like she was failing because not everything was on point. Too scared to even jump in the scales she reluctantly at the halfway point decided to see where she was at. To her surprise she had dropped 7kg! My point is, life is always going to come in ebbs and flows and throw unexpected things, are you. If amongst the chaos you can still make small investments into you it is WAY better than going with all or nothing.

02.01.2022 Just honoured and chuffed to have teamed up with the National Women’s Fitness Academy to educate the next up and coming Coaches and Personal Training industry professionals.

01.01.2022 Whoa, 8 years since I won this figure comp. Time flies but SO much has happened since then. This photo always makes me giggle because one of the judges was kind enough to let me know that in fact my (pancaked) chest was no longer holding my bikini top in place and to tuck myself away This would have made for quite the winning photo. I always look back on this figure comp prep fondly. It was definitely a pivotal moment for me in my career. It made me realise that while it ...is great to strive to win a competition this isnt real life. I had to get all the way to 8% body fat to realise it doesnt make an ounce of difference to your happiness. It is also not a life when you are training 6 days a week and then twice a day towards the end of the comp to look this way. I am proud of our message and how we support real women to get real results without any crazy extremes.
