25.01.2022 Donkey kicks.. these are thrown in our sessions from time to time to focus entirely on those glutes. We know squats and lunges work the glutes but these get right in there. Bent leg and straight leg options can be performed. Personal preference on which one you get the most out of. The key is to keep the upper body dead still and only the leg moves #peachy #gluteworkout #donkeykicks #mondaymotivation #workoutswithmel #neverskipamonday
24.01.2022 Meet Freda, the newest member of our outdoor sessions... As a mother, I know fitting in exercise around children can be difficult so that’s why I welcome children and now fur children to accompany you at sessions #workoutswithmel #dogsofinsta #outdoortraining #familyfriendly
22.01.2022 Thanks @thewodlife for this savage challenge... the name suggests it’s worse than it really is... who’s up for the challenge? #workoutswithmel #wodlife #challengeyourself
22.01.2022 Great workout if you’re looking for a quick extra session throughout the week or over the weekend... #giveitago #itsagoodday #challengeyourself #workoutswithmel
17.01.2022 It’s never too late to start exercising! Tomorrow you will wish you had started today. #workoutswithmel #exerciseathome #zoomclasses #noexcuses #4monthstillchristmas #getsummerready #workoutmotivation
17.01.2022 If you know me, I’m always looking at new ways to twist things up and make them more challenging. Here is what I like to call plank taps. The standard plank with added leg taps into the movement not only activates the core muscles to work harder but your legs and glutes are getting a workout too! #plankvariation #workoutwithmel #workoutsathome #corestrength #plank #absworkout #tryit

11.01.2022 If your neck hurts while doing crunches, then safe to say you’re pulling your neck like the top picture. The correct way to perform crunches is to put your hands behind your head without interlocking the fingers, elbows out to side, ensure there is space between your chest and chin, gently pull abdominals inwards and lift up ensuring head, neck and shoulder blades all lift off the floor. Hold for a moment at the top and then slowly lower back down. Do not pull on your neck with your hands or draw your elbows in. #workoutswithmel #thursdaytips #exercisecorrection #italladdsup #abdominalworkout #crunches
08.01.2022 Raw, unedited footage of me completing my final set of 20 pushups. This is true evidence that if you let the pain stop you, you will never acheive your goals. I stopped, I was hurting, my triceps were failing but I DIDN'T GIVE UP! The saying goes, " YOUR BODY CAN STAND ALMOST ANTHING, IT'S YOUR MIND THAT YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE"
07.01.2022 Suns out, guns out! What a great day to take our session outdoors #workoutswithmel #outdoorworkout #extrasession
07.01.2022 This month I’m running for a charity that is very close to my heart (no pun intended) Heart disease kills approx 48 people a DAY in Australia. That’s 48 too many! Please help me raise more awareness for a disease that takes two lives every HOUR... Every dollar adds up!!!
06.01.2022 The month started off unbroken with no days rest but after 34kms my shins decided to wreak havoc on me resulting in a week off... not how I planned but with 7 days rest, new shoes and acupuncture to my shins, I hit the pavement today with great success! Tomorrow is dollar for dollar day so if you haven’t already donated, tomorrow will be the day! https://www.thelongrun.org.au/s/885/885/s #thelongrun #workoutswithmel #runningforacause
05.01.2022 DELTOIDS aka Shoulders... strengthening the muscles that surround the shoulder joint reduces the risk of injury whether it be dislocation or torn rotator cuff. Having strong deltoids makes it easier to move your arms around. The superset exercise will target all three heads of the deltoid (front, medial and rear). I call these 5’s.. 5 reps of front raises, 5 reps of lateral raises and 5 reps of rear delt flys, repeating the superset five times. Start off with a lighter weight to prevent straining the rotator cuffs #workoutswithmel #shoulderboulders #supersets #startofflight #strongshoulders #workoutathome
05.01.2022 I was asked a really great question during one of my sessions the other day... WHAT IS MY IDEAL HEART RATE DURING A WORKOUT? The short answer is 70% of your maximum heart rate. To determine your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220 (eg. a 33 year old women’s maximum heart rate is 220 minus 33- or 187 beats per minute. To enter the ideal zone (fat burning), she would want her heart rate to be 70% of 187, which is about 130 beats per minute. With many activity trackers on the market these days, it’s easier to monitor your heart rate during workouts. Work out your ideal heart rate and see how you’re tracking during our next session #workoutswithmel #fatburning #heartratetraining #fridaymotivation #oneworkoutatatime #heartratezone
03.01.2022 The only bad workout is the one you didn’t do.... #happyfriday #goalsdontworkunlessyoudo #weekendmotivation #tgif #thegrindincludesfriday #workoutsathome #workoutswithmel #noexcuses #zoomfitness
03.01.2022 After a big training session, it’s great to slow down and stretch the body. This pose is great for enhancing the posture and giving the body a really good stretch. It also helps calm the brain and helps with insomnia and headaches #workoutswithmel #yogapractice #plough #stretching #goodforthesoul #greatforthemind
01.01.2022 I run because of the way it makes me feel both physically and mentally but this month is different... I’m running to raise money and awareness for Prostate cancer. I’m not asking you to rob a bank as every dollar adds up
