IF YOU WANT TO LOSE FAT – YOU HAVE GOT TO EAT FAT
Now for some this does sound crazy I understand … but honestly I could not offer a better tip that just that. Although as usual there is the fine print with such a statement. You have to eat the RIGHT types of fat which are essential to our diet and important for good health. These are the GOOD FATS. But what are the different types of fats and which ones are good or better than others?? Continue reading “BIG FAT TRUTH”
So the number one silent rule in the fitness industry is… “Never Miss a Monday”!! So here is a quick (but killer) HIIT workout you can do in the lounge room to tick off your Monday sweat sess. Firstly HIIT huh?? HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. If you have heard the buzz surrounding it, you now that it’s a super fast, very effective way to work out. Basically HIIT involves short intense bursts of exercise with less intense moves or complete rest in between. The reason why so many people are loving HIIT at the moment is because it is crazy efficient as you only need to spend 15-30 minutes in the gym whilst still coming out with the same if not more benefits as the usual 1 hour class. When you turn up the intensity on your workout you are making your heart work harding as your heart rate sky rockets. Continue reading “HIIT; NEVER MISS A MONDAY”
Sunday again? The weeks are SERIOUSLY flying past. Nothing like getting to Monday morning after a hugely busy weekend with nothing organised or planned, not to mention any time to just tune out and relax. You only have yourself to thank for the uncomfortable or baggy underwear you will be wearing Monday because you skipped washing day, or the over priced lunch you had to buy because you didn’t have time to do the grocery shop and all you had in the house was peanut butter and tuna tins. We have all been there. Continue reading “TUNE OUT”
If there is one thing that I truly hate… it is being hungover. I used to be the type of girl who could chug vodka from a bottle (yes i have a dark side buried deep below the surface from my younger years – don’t we all?) and I would NEVER get hungover or be sick the next day. Probably because I regrettably vomited it all out that night, but anyway… and then things changed as I got older and BOOM. Now any more than just two wines with dinner and I can’t help but wake up feeling seedy. Continue reading “SPEAR A HANGOVER”
Chocolate is just one of those things that makes us happy. FACT! It’s actually scientifically proven too!! OH YOU BETCHA. Chocolate is a very nutritious source of antioxidants which are good for our inner health, skin, brain function and hormones. Personally I don’t need much more reason than that and that’s why I rarely go a day without some form of chocolate. And why should we? Continue reading “CHOCA-HOLIC”
Bananas have always been one of my favourite fruits. If you think bananas are just for monkeys… think again. But hey we are part monkey after all right? And a banana was probably the first solid food that you ever ate as a baby. But more to the point. Continue reading “BA BA BA BA NA NAAAAAA BANANNAA”
So as I sit here staring out the window trying to gain focus and get my head around my massive to do list regarding GETTING A JOB I procrastinate a little and come across this amazing post by Women’s Health UK about job interviews. Seems appropriate for a read. Instead of trying to compete with their article and write one of my own (I mean who is going to take advice about job interviews from an… um…. unemployed person) I thought I would be better off using them as a feature post for day 11 of Nutritional November on my blog. Continue reading “THE COLOUR YOU SHOULD WEAR FOR A SUCCESSFUL JOB INTERVIEW… OR DATE”
To kick off week two of #NutritionalNovember why not start with some girl power preaching. This post seems relevant considering a female jockey, Michelle Payne, won the Melbourne Cup for the first time ever on Tuesday last week and it sure as hell caused a few raised eye brows amongst the gents… but all I can say is GO GURL!!! With the ever-growing health and fitness industry women are becoming more and more independent and successful. There are so many women CEO’s absolutely killing it and slowly (but surely) taking over the world. Bit dramatic? Check out my top 6 and make up your own mind.
If there is something that is growing as popular as chicks with abs at the moment – it’s BRUNCH!! The saying has been around for ages but the foodie industry and independent cafes have grabbed ‘brunch’ by the reins and taken it to a whole new level. Out with the separate breakfast and lunch menus and in with smashed avocado and poachies on toast at 2pm. Nice! Continue reading “BRUNCHING IN LONDON”
I can’t speak for London because let’s be honest it’s getting colder by the second – BUT with the Aussie summer only JUST around the corner we can’t help but dream of Tash Oakley’s amazing bod and abs! Seriously if you are not familiar with this amazing creature follow her on instagram NOW @tashoakley or just google her. You are bound to feel a huge boost of motivation that’s for sure.
BUT there is no quick fix for a tight and toned stomach. As amazing as it would be, one sit up will not give you a rock hard stomach. Continue reading “THE PLANK; IT’S HARD CORE”
