What’s your WHY? Why do you do the things you do? Why do you strive for a better job, a better body, a better work/life balance? It’s different for all of us, but working out just what’s driving us can be the key to achieving everything you’ve ever wanted. In this week’s video, I share my WHY and the reason that having a strong WHY is just so important to achieving your goals. ..
Parenting. Work. Exercise. Food prep. Being a good friend. There’s so many different aspects of our lives to manage, isn’t there? With so much on our plate, it can often be all too easy to focus on where we’re falling down in certain areas. We forget how we’re trying to be a great mum/dad day in, day out, or how hard we’ve been working out at the gym. Some ..
Did you know that up to 80% of Aussies experience back pain? Crazy, huh! But when you start to think about how we are designed to move, it does make sense that so many of us struggle with back pain at some time or another. Humans are designed to MOVE! Yet, we spend most of our days sitting at a desk, and then we come home and sit in front of the tv. So how do we balance this ..
The newest addition to the MP Family, Noah James Archer! We’re thrilled to have a little boy in our lives and have had an awesome first 6 days getting to know him. Rach and I have been reflecting on becoming parents for a second time, and we’ve talked about just how different it is. We were so apprehensive before having our first child and there was an element of fear in each of ..
If you’ve ever been pregnant or close to someone who’s been pregnant, you’ll relate to where we’re coming from this week. We are currently due to have our second baby any day now (Rach was due last Sunday). This final stretch of the “unknown” – when exactly will this baby arrive? – pretty much sums up the whole pregnancy journey. Women allow their bodies to take over and grow a human ..
Exercise doesn’t have to be complicated. Sure, some trainers would like to make you think that having the best, most upto date gym program is the solution to all your problems, but really, when you’re just starting out, all you need to do is move more than what you have been. And we all have plenty of opportunities to do so. In this week’s Tip, I share some ideas for how to inco ..
Sometimes, it’s important to look back so that you’re able to fully appreciate just how far you’ve come. All too often we get bogged down in the busy-ness of everyday life that we forget to celebrate our successes – big and small. We focus on the things we’re not doing, or our perceived lack of progress and can get frustrated that we aren’t moving fast enough towards where we’d reall ..
Have you ever been on a diet and had the feeling like you’re missing out on life? I was out to dinner with some of my clients on Tuesday night (we were eating dumplings!) and we were having the discussion about this very thing. Sometimes when you start a new diet, the conditions around what you can eat are so strict that you have to miss out on coffee dates, dinners out and weekend so ..
Ever wanted to achieve something, but thought it was too far out of reach? I know I have. It can be so easy to talk yourself out of achieving something huge. But at the same time, if you don’t have goals, you don’t end up getting what you really, truly want out of life. This week, I was chatting to my mum, who has recently made some huge life changes. I asked her what’s ..
This pretty much sums me up. I’m competitive by nature. I’ve been playing a competitive sport for as long as I can remember (rugby league). There’s not a week that goes by where I’m not fighting to keep my spot on the team, and we are competing against a new team each and every weekend in games. It’s something I’m used to. Anyway, it’s currently off season for foo ..
