We hope you had a fantastic Christmas and New Year period! We had a little getaway to the beach – had a great time! Anyway, it’s that time of year when we like to set New Years resolutions, and commit to improving our lives in the year ahead. So, did you set your resolutions? Or do you find the whole thing a big waste of time? Rachael and I, we’re split on this one ..
This week, we have a simple message for you. And that is, thank you! Thank you for tuning into our videos this year. Thanks for welcoming us into your life each week. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. Here’s a little Christmas message from us…. ..
The silly season is well and truly here! Christmas songs playing on repeat at the shops, Santa photos plastered all over social media, and Christmas parties happening every weekend. It’s a great time of year for celebrations! But it can also be a challenging time of year if you’re trying to lose weight and get healthy. High calorie-foods and alcohol are readily available. ..
Last week we chatted about surviving the silly season without the hangover. (If you missed it, you can catch up here (http://www.mpstudio.com.au/lukes-blog/enjoying-the-silly-season-without-the-hangovers)). This week, we wanted to continue with the festive theme and talk about another aspect of life that can get off track at this time of year. Food. We could tell you that y ..
Shaving my face is an everyday, mundane task…. But when December 1st rolls around each year, it’s a pretty exciting thing to do! Why? Well, I participate in Movember every year, and after growing a mo throughout November, I’m very much ready to get rid of it! (I’m also ready to kiss my wife again)! Although, it’s more than that. There’s a certain feeling of satisf ..
I was busting my guts. Sweating profusely, gasping for air, feeling the burn in my legs. I was running as hard as I possibly could. “Welcome to pre-season training!” I thought to myself. On Tuesday night, we did a fitness test at footy, and our strength and conditioning coach set us some standards. And I wasn’t quite upto scratch. Ouch. Now usually, ..
Hands up if you’re a dessert lover? (I’m putting my hand up, don’t worry)! Caramel slice and “Old Gold” chocolate are my personal favourites; how about you? Now, if you’re anything like me, having a sweet tooth can be challenging to manage when you’re trying to eat “healthy.” Put a sweet treat in front of me and it’s incredibly hard to say, “no!” And sometimes, I ..
Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things but not seeing results? Like you’ve been eating really well and exercising hard, but when you look in the mirror, nothing has really changed? Well, it might be time to check what you’re drinking! Many of us have a rough idea of foods that are high in calories, but what about your drinks? Did you know that the “healthy” glass of o ..
“I don’t have time.” It’s one of the major roadblocks to people getting started with exercise. Between kids, work, maintaining a relationship with your partner, having a social life, etc, exercise sometimes gets pushed down the priority list. Totally normal. But I’m always looking for ways to make exercise easier and more accessible for people and this week, I was reminded ..
Today’s 15 minute fat burner comes in the form of a recipe! You may have been expecting a workout, however, it’s true what they say: Think about how many times each day you exercise… For most of us, it’s once, and could even be once every few days. On the other hand, think about how many times we eat? Hopefully, it’s more than once a day! We have so many opp ..
