INFO AND MOTIVATION

I love instagram for the reason that you can always find interesting facts and motivational quotes to help you get through the day.

Here are just a few that I enjoyed. 

Hope they motivate you.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE LEGS

Have you ever had that day where you just can't be bothered doing a full body workout.... Well I always have those days and I tell myself just do legs or just do abs and then once I start I end up doing a full body workout. 

Like I have said before it's all a mental game.

I have added a picture that I posted on istagram last week about a full leg workout. 

It is a beginners version but for those that want to increase their level, simply add weights to it. 

You can start with 2.5kg weights on each hand while doing the lunges and squats. Or even pop a bar over your shoulders with no weights on it as a starter.

Remember when you are working out always check your form and make sure your technique is accurate.

SIMPLE EATING

EAT CLEAN

I love how the simplest things are always the healthiest and best for you.

Just a quick post on how to make easy and healthy dry mint

I love mint and I use it almost everyday in my cooking. So to make sure I always have a fresh batch at home, I buy about 10 bunches of mint, wash them and take them off their stems then leave them in the sun to dry. Once they are dry, you can grind them with a machine or I just use my hands. Once its all been crushed you will have yourself  dry mint herbs. 

It tastes amazing in salads and in your cooking. Plus its so healthy for you.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS EAT CLEAN

HEALTHY COCONUT BALLS

Ladies these are healthy but high in good fats so don’t go snacking on them all day. Have 2 or 3 with your green tea 

HEALTHY BREAKFAST

What's more healthier than eggs for breakfast. I love eating healthy and more importantly I love feeding my girls healthy food. Part of living a healthy lifestyle is including those that you love as well.
I've met so many fit and healthy mums out there but their kids are over weight. Try and educate your kids and the ones you love about the importance of healthy eating and clean eating.

Just a quick pic of our typical friday breakfast.

I love mixing passionfruit with orange juice, it tastes so delicious

ABS FOR NO TIMERS

Last week I posted a pic on my instagram account talking about Abs. 

Its been 11 years since I have seen my tummy. Yes I know what your thinking thats crazy right!

Well its a long story that I promise I will share with you guys one day when I'm brave enough.

But for today I just wanted to share a very quick Ab workout that I love doing when I want to workout but don't have enough time to do a full body workout

40 SIDE CRUNCHES

1 MIN PLANK

STRONG ARMS

Its no secret that I love working out. One of my favourite parts to workout are my arms. Due to a back injury I can not do any weight training so all my training is body weight.

You can really define and get strength to your arms with your own body weight and I am proof of that.

Its so simple and easy.

The following is my arm routine

4 sets of 15 elevated straight leg tricep dips

4 sets of 10 push ups

4 sets of 20 knee push ups

4 sets of 1 minute plank with 10 alternating arm lifts

It so easy and simple, however these exercises are not for an average beginner, so I have also posted a beginners version of toned arms.

BEGINNERS VERSION

3 sets of 15 floor tricep dips

3 sets of 15 knee push ups

3 sets of 30 sec planks with 5 alternating arm lifts

Remember if you are starting a new routine always start slow and work your way up.

Goodluck and never give up

HELLO AGAIN

It has been a while since I last posted something. Things have been so crazy around my household that I really haven't had time to sit down and do anything that is for me.
Hopefully with the kids back at school I'll be able to post more healthy tips.

For now I'm posting a bunch of pics that I have put on my instagram page, which vary from healthy food choices to exercise tips.

 Not too sure what the fascination is these days with big Butts, but Im kinda content with mine at the moment

 All you need to have a great workout is the correct attitude and a few simple things
