I took the family on a holiday to the Gold Coast recently. We had a great few days away, and it was so good to spend quality time together. I was really looking forward to it – it had been a long footy season, and our business has been flourishing, so we’ve been really busy – and I was keen for some relaxation. (Or as much relaxation as you can possibly get with 2 kids, age ..
I love being a dad, and love spending time with my kids. Watching them grow and develop before my very eyes… Doesn’t really get much better than that! Little Noah is 10 months old now, and has been crawling for a few months. His next mission? Walking. And he’s nearly got the hang of it. But not before a few falls, bumps, tears and bruises. I’m learning ..
What’s the first word that comes to mind when I say, “Exercise?” Hard? Pointless? Exhilarating? Fun? You may think that because I’m a “trainer,” I must enjoy working out all the time… Well, I don’t. I’m human! But for the most part, I do enjoy working out and the feeling it gives me. And I like to make workouts for my clients an enjoyable experience, too. ..
Ask my wife, the first question I ask her when she tells me she’s booked our next holiday is, “So, is there a gym?” There’s just something I love about being able to workout in a different environment, on my own time. Plus, it’s nice to be able to continue with my normal exercise routine while I’m away. Now I completely understand if you don’t necessarily share my enthusiasm!
Gutted. Empty. That’s how I felt. The buzzer went. It signaled the end of the game. But much more than that – it was the end of our season. The hundreds of hours of hard work, practice and rehabilitation, finished. Just like that. If you’ve been following on with my football journey, you’ll know that my team, the Souths Logan Magpies, made it to the fina ..
It’s pretty common to hear people in the fitness industry talking about snacks. Some people recommend snacking in between breakfast and lunch, and/or lunch and dinner. Some people have a whole list of snack options to choose from. Bliss balls – the latest snack trend! Me? Well, I like to think of snacking a little differently. While it is good to eat something in b ..
These days, it’s so easy getting caught up in what everyone else is doing. The explosion of social media in our lives means that we’re bombarded with what’s going on with other people, whether it be what they’ve had for brekky or what they’re wearing on a night out or where they are on holiday. And it can be so easy to compare our life to that which we see online, and get disgruntled ..
It’s one of the questions I get asked most – “Luke, what do you feed your kids?” It’s a good question, and I know it’s one I asked fellow parents before my 3 year old, Bella, started eating solids. Just like us adults have so many different ways of eating available to us, the same goes for our kids. So, this week I put a video together about what we do in our household to feed ou ..
It’s that time of year where colds and flu are everywhere. So many people I’ve chatted to over the past couple of weeks have been sick or have a child that has been unwell. And it’s definitely not fun! I myself have had a bit of a sniffle this week, and I tried to stop and rest for a little bit, but when you’ve got kids and a business to run, and all the other responsibilities that ..
Ever felt like you’re being judged for what you’re eating? Have you sat down at your desk to eat, only to find your workmates having a go at you for your lunch? Or have you been out with your mates on the weekend, and been questioned as to why you don’t have a drink in your hand? “You’re not going soft, are you?” As someone who regularly brings their own food from home, and wh ..
