Friends don't let friends miss workouts 💪🦵🙌

Q) Weight loss to date:
A) 30 kgs

Q) Describe the lifestyle changes have you made to set yourself on the path to better health.
A) Regular exercise, tracking my food, balance, trying not to over think ...being kind to myself.

Q) Describe the positive changes you have experienced since committing to a healthy lifestyle.
A) More energy, better sleep, no heartburn, improved fitness, more positivity.

Q) What does your week look like in terms of exercise?
A) I try and do something 6 days a week. I started slow with regular walks and then have made changes along the way as my fitness has improved. Longer distances, hills and then personal training. Choosing an exercise I enjoy is important to staying on track, I don’t see exercise as a drag I look forward to the alarm going off. Exercising with a friend has been a lifesaver it’s kept me sane, I never wanted to let her down, someone to share the journey, someone to inspire and motivate me.

Q) Have you had any setbacks?
A) I have had some injury setbacks. Having to adjust/adapt my approach at times. Getting support has been key to staying on track, not giving up and pushing through.

Q) What do you most enjoy about your personal training sessions?
A) I love that I don’t know what the session will bring. I love the variety in the sessions. I love learning new exercises, learning to do things I never thought I would or could do. I love that Bree never yells at me, she never makes me feel hopeless and adapts my program depending on any injuries I may be carrying.

Q) What do you least enjoy?
A) There isn’t anything I don’t like. Some days the sessions go really fast and I’m disappointed when it’s finished 😀.

Q) Advice for anyone considering a lifestyle change?
A) My advice is to start when you are emotionally ready. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I only told the friend who I walk with that I was starting this journey. I didn’t want all the questions, how much did you lose this week, should you be eating that, you didn’t train today? Too much pressure, I made the choice to do this for me and for me only. If you have a bad day it’s only one day, don’t give up, start again tomorrow. Baby steps!

Well that was a sweaty one! What an awesome effort from the team at ACOR Consulting for their first team training session 👌🙌🦵💪

Are you a 'tracker'?

I often get asked whether to track one's meals or not. Personally, I sit on both sides of the fence with this one, and here are my reasons;

PROs
- Tracking your meals using apps such as MyFitnessPal provides good insight into your daily calorie consumption and macro breakdown. It can highlight some of those hidden calorie pirates that may be slipping through the cracks, with the consumer unaware of the costly toll it's taking.

- Meal tracking can be an effective way to get back on track if you find your eating habits slipping or having gone completely off the rails.

- If your goal is weight loss, most often (but not always) a calorie deficit is going to be your aim. Without having a clear idea of what your calorie consumption looks like it's hard to determine whether you're actually in a deficit or not. Similarly, if weight gain is your goal then a calorie surplus is going to be where it's at.

CON's
- I LOVE food and truly believe it should be enjoyed without having to bust out the scales and calculator.

- It's easy to choose foods with less nutritional benefit over something that may appear better for them based on the numbers alone. Not all calories are created equal!!

- Packaged foods are easier to track therefore rather than eating whole foods one might opt for the easier option of buying the packaged version. Fresh is almost always best.....

- Nutritional values are not always accurate therefore what you're recording is likely not a true indication.

My advice? Unless you're a competitive athlete with very specific goals or training for a bodybuilding competition I would recommend tracking your meals for a short period of time (3-4 days), to gain an understanding of your calorie consumption. Pay attention to the numbers so you can mentally track your meals throughout the day without having to bust out your smartphone.

Confused by the jargon? My suggestion is to keep it simple. There are plenty of online calculators available to help you determine your calorie/macro breakdown.

Remember, food should be enjoyed! Eat well, train hard and reap the rewards 👌

As the holiday season approaches, it can be challenging to find time to exercise, especially when gym and class schedules don't align with your own.

My mobile personal training sessions are perfect for you if you aren't looking to make a long-term commitment, and by that I mean gym fee's, especially over the holidays.

You choose the time, place, and frequency, and I come to you!

Message me for more information. Let's find a time that works for you and make it happen!

Hands down, one of the charities I'm most passionate about.

Mental Health is an ever evolving beast that chips away at the heart of our society. Su***de in middle aged men is at an all time high and the stigma that goes along with 'being a man' has to change.

My sensitive 7 year old boy is told to 'toughen up' yet my brazen 5 year old girl is comforted when she's at her weakest.

Having friends and acquaintances succumb to the harshness of this disease, it's my goal to continue the message of the amazing humans . (And they're from QLD so 🙌) .

Introducing the newest member of my team .

Jas will be taking the girls through PILATES IN THE PARK every second Friday at 6am, commencing this week.

'Hi, My Name is Jasmine and I am 26 Years old.

I first found pilates in 2016 and after a few years of attending classes and practicing I decided I wanted to study pilates. Initially I started studying purely to improve my own practice and understand my own body better. After completing my anatomy and matwork pilates course in 2019 I just knew I wanted to teach and continue to learn. I went on to study reformer pilates as well as barre and most recently jumpboard reformer. I was also incredibly fortunate that the courses I studied included pre and post natal training.

I get so much satisfaction from seeing others enjoy all the incredible benefits of pilates and knowing that I contribute to my clients fitness goals makes my heart so full, this is why I have decided to put all of my energy into teaching pilates full-time.

I look forward to working with you and sharing my love for pilates.
