If you’re making the effort to eat well and exercise regularly, chances are you may have been met with some resistance from some of the people in your life. It might be the co-worker, rolling their eyes at your perfectly packed homemade lunch. It might be your partner, frustrated that you don’t want to go out for an indulgent dinner that night. Whoever it is, you might find your ..
It’s so good getting your exercise done first thing in the morning. You can get in to your work day, knowing that you’ve taken time to move your body – because let’s face it, sometimes our days don’t go as planned and working out later in the afternoon/evening doesn’t always eventuate. So yes, it’s great to workout in the morning. But it’s not so fun when it’s the middle of wint ..
I get a lot of questions about exercise. “What’s the best exercise for me to do?” “How often should I train?” “How long should my workouts be?” All great questions, and all very important aspects of working out. They’re all irrelevant though, unless it’s something you can stick to – for life! Rach and I elaborate on this question – “what’s the best exercise program f ..
I don’t know about you, but I’m all for saving time when I’m cooking. As much as I enjoy being in the kitchen, between work, family time, footy and everything else, it doesn’t leave a lot of time for making meals. One of the ways we save time is to use frozen veggies in our cooking. But hang on…. Isn’t fresh always better than frozen? This week’s video answers this very qu ..
On Mother’s Day, we went to New Farm Park as a family, and had a picnic and a game of cricket. It was a cracking day! Now, if you’ve been watching my videos for a while, you’d know how much my kids teach me. And this particular Sunday was no different! Here’s what happened… In the week before Mother’s Day, I had been listening to a Wayne Dyer podcast, and he talk ..
We all know how important exercise is for keeping fit, healthy and in shape, so what are we meant to do if we need to stop working out due to injury? Is all of our progress going to stop? I’ve just had thumb surgery and whilst I’ll be able to get back into exercise in a few weeks and do exercises that don’t involve the use of my left hand, right now I can’t do anything. And if I f ..
About 9 years ago, I broke the thumb on my right hand playing footy, and needed surgery to have a plate and screw put in to hold it together. When I ran the ball up in my game on Saturday night just gone and was tackled by someone from the opposition, I felt the same sensation in my left hand. I knew instantly that I’d broken my thumb. Sure enough, an x-ray confirmed it, and whi ..
I’m not talking about the Adam Sandler movie, “The Waterboy!” I’m talking about your very own personal waterboy. I play rugby league, and we have 2 waterboys at every game. They’re responsible (obviously) for running water out to the team. But their role is so much more than that! They give instructions from the coaches, they give us a kick up the butt when needed and t ..
Yep, our cheeky little guy took a tumble down our back stairs this week. He’s fine – it was only a few steps – but it gave us all a fright, that’s for sure! I think Noah learnt some valuable lessons from his fall, but as always, he taught me just as much. I really do learn so much from my kids. Their ability to get on with life, regardless of what’s just happened, i ..
We hope you had an awesome Easter long weekend! We just got back from 5 days away at the Gold Coast, and wow! I feel refreshed! With so much happening with the business, footy and family life, it was so good to stop (and surf) for a few days. We took some time to reflect on the first quarter of the year, and we set some new goals for the next quarter. We spent lots of q ..
