Movement!
Our bodies are meant to move, they are designed to move well and they are supposed to move often.
The next time you get up from your desk after a prolonged episode of sitting – feel how tight, stiff and sore your body feels, then sit back down and look at the angle of your legs.
It is no wonder when our legs are in a 90 degree angle for the majority of the day; at a desk, in a car, on the couch – that when we get up to stretch our legs…..
….. our calves feel tight, our hammies are tight, the glutes are sore, your back aches and your shoulder and neck hurt from being hunched over all day……
I get it – I have been where you are, and I have been there when I went back to a desk job after teaching – which was 100 times worse, after moving so often to being stationary.
Our bodies are meant to move.
If you don’t move often you will cramp up.
If you don’t keep moving your joints through a full range of motion as you age you will lose the ability to use these joints – sounds scary doesn’t it?
Well it is!
I used to do some remedial work with an elderly lady as years of inactivity had literally rendered her muscles useless, she couldn’t open her hands and could not get up out of bed without assistance.
If you want to be able to open jars, reach things up high (unless you are a short ass like me) squat down to pick things up or even do up your shoes, you need to move before it is too late.
I know for some people (heck even me sometimes) the thought of going to a gym is as desirable as watching paint dry – so find what you love, dance in your loungeroom, try something new, or try a different instructor.
Not to toot my own horn (ok just a little honk ) I recently had a lovely comment from a man new to my yoga classes, telling me that he hated yoga before, but loves it now due to the unique way I teach.
Now do not get me wrong – my style is not for everyone, and that’s ok.
Find an instructor you click with who makes you feel joyous about what you do and you will want to do it more often.
Work out what it is you love, and if it is dancing around while you cook – then do it – boom – make your meals and burn calories – that’s a double thumbs up in my books.
Think outside the box and don’t be afraid to try out some new things, but most importantly move move and move some more.

I think when it comes to healthy eating, quite often people go for the easy quick take out option as they assume it is too hard to make a fast, easy and healthy meal.
Let me tell you this is not true.
The majority of my meals take 30 mins to prepare and cook (unless I get sidetracked listening to music and dancing around while I cook – which does happen often)
*Side note – dancing around while you cook is a great way to burn some extra calories and is oh so much fun 🙂
The key to quick and easy healthy meals is not to complicate it.
Chop up veggies and add fresh herbs and garlic for flavour.
If I am chopping veggies – I always chop extra so I can use them for lunch and or dinner the next day (depending on how hungry my husband is and how many left overs I can keep).
Cooking meat and veggies separately allows you to only have to cook fresh meat for the 2nd night.
Some easy meat ideas:
Fry chicken with garlic, lemon and honey.
Bake salmon just with lemon and pepper.
Fry meatballs with cumin and or cinnamon.
Fresh herbs, turmeric, cumin, garlic, pepper go a long way to making things absolutely easy, and tasty.
Here’s an easy lunch bowl I made up over the weekend (not going to lie was pretty proud of this one)
QUINOA BOWL
Cook quinoa as per instructions on packet.
Fry asparagus, tomatoes, kale with a dash of balsamic vinegar & half a small garlic cube.
Mash up 1 x avo add lemon, pepper and other half of garlic cube.
Add a bit of salmon, a few nuts
Arrange nicely for a photo then moosh it all together and eat 🙂
Simple yoga flow to release old trapped energy and let in the new, including open heart poses and comfortable seated poses to allow for stillness & visualisation.
The event will incorporate movement and stillness and is suitable for all fitness levels.
We will move the body, challenge the brain by focusing on visualising our goals for 2018 and coming up with simple plans to put this into practice.
Rest the body and brain with some relaxation.
Cost includes yoga, notebook, pen, coffee or tea and a bliss ball and there will be some fruit and chocolate to keep the energy levels up 🙂
This is your time to make it happen!

Join me for a night to remember. As we celebrate all things fitness. Combining yoga, pilates, and a few power moves.
Held at the historic & heritage listed Springhill baths, where brightly coloured doors encircle a crisp & inviting pool (and we have the whole venue to ourselves).
Behind each coloured door is your individual change room – inside each door is your goodie bag (valued at over $20)
But it’s outside where the magic will really happen.
I will be guiding you through a series of exercises (both in and out of the pool), a fun journey through the ages of fitness.
Before social media was a beast of comparison, ladies wore pantaloons for swimming & lollies were a sixpence.
Just as Arnold Schwarzenegger was pumping iron, Jane Fonda was high kicking her legwarmers onto our TV’s we will be moving through the times, in a most special way.
The choreographed shenanigans will get the heart rate up, we will splash our toes in the pool with reckless abandon, before jumping in and cooling off.
This is all about movement, laughter and fun.
This is a celebration of fitness and joy.
This location is one of Brisbanes best kept secrets – now the secret is out – don’t miss your spot!
This is an event not to be missed!
No refunds on cancellations less than 24 hours before the event!

Hands up – I am guilty of this!
We need to lift weights to help with our bone density.
We need some cardio to get our heart rate up.
Think about what you focus on and what you neglect. Where do your priorities go?
It’s not too late to add in some extra things to your routine, or change your schedule a little to give yourself a more holistic and well-balanced healthy fitness lifestyle!
Step two – we’ll focus on this shortly.
When it comes to exercise it is important to mix it up!
While I strongly advocate for finding a style of exercise that you love (or you simply will not exercise if you don’t enjoy it) you need to vary things from time to time.
You see our bodies, much like our minds need to be challenged or they become complacent.
Have you ever noticed that let’s say you start a new form of exercise and your weight changes or your body changes with great results straight away, then after some time you plateau.
This happens, that’s why it is important to mix it up!
Shock your body, challenge your mind. Try something new or slightly vary what you do.
There are so many ways to be creative and we are so fortunate to have YouTube at our fingertips so we can be creative in the comfort of our own home.
Seriously the other day I danced around my room and had the most amounts of fun, got my heart rate up, and had a bonus ab work out as I was laughing at myself so much.
It’s great therapy.
For anyone wanting a very different workout and an awesome laugh – come and join me tomorrow for a 1980’s playlist and moves that will keep you topped up with feel good energy for weeks 🙂
3:30 – 4:30 Saturday April 1 at Greenslopes – Brisbane
