Bella Fit

One thing I’ve really started to notice on my walks is how many people are walking while looking at their phones.

It seems so strange to me when we’re surrounded by stunning beaches, beautiful nature, and all the little moments happening around us. Not to mention the possibility of bumping into someone… or something! 😅

Maybe it’s more on my radar because of my age, or because I’m beginning to navigate boundaries around technology with my almost-teenager. It’s also made me reflect on my own habits and ensure I’m practising what I’m trying to teach my children.

The days, weeks, and months seem to be flying by faster than ever. I’d hate for any of us to miss the simple pleasures—the fresh air, a beautiful sunrise, a friendly smile, or just the opportunity to be present and enjoy life.

I share this as a gentle reminder for all of us, myself included, to be aware and make the most of each day. Life really does go by so quickly, and the small moments often become the ones we treasure most. 🩷

After training the Bella Fit ladies this morning, I enjoyed a great day out with my girl at Taronga Zoo 🦁🐘🦒

It had been a while since my last visit, and it was so much fun playing tourist in our own city. We spent the day exploring, spotting amazing animals, and taking in the beautiful views of Sydney Harbour.

We definitely got our steps in too — over 15,000 for the day! 🚶‍♀️💪🏻

A wonderful way to stay active while making special memories together ❤️

We’re seeing protein highlighted on food labels more than ever, and while protein is absolutely essential for building and maintaining muscle, supporting recovery, and keeping us feeling satisfied, we also need to pay attention to fibre in our nutrition.

Fibre plays an important role in digestive health, helps keep us feeling fuller for longer, supports healthy cholesterol levels, and can assist with maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Some great sources of fibre include:
🥦 Vegetables
🍎 Fruit
🌾 Whole grains
🫘 Beans and legumes
🥜 Nuts and seeds
🍠 Sweet potato
🌱 Chia seeds

Aim to include a variety of fibre-rich foods in your meals each day. A healthy diet is about balance, not just focusing on one nutrient.

❄️ Winter is officially here! ❄️

Move your body to warm up from the inside out and enjoy those feel-good endorphins. 💪🏻✨

The Bella Fit ladies hit the Bayview gym today, swapping the wet weather for a great indoor workout. No matter the season, they continue showing up, putting in the effort, and working towards their health and fitness goals. 🙌🏻

Consistency beats perfect conditions every time! 💖

Beautiful morning for our walk! ☀️🩷

The Bella Fit ladies and I enjoyed a lovely walk around Narrabeen Lagoon Trail this morning.

There’s something special about walking, talking, being active, and soaking up the outdoors with a great group of women. 🌿

We finished the morning with a well-earned coffee and plenty more laughs and conversation to top off a wonderful catch-up together. ☕✨

Movement, fresh air, friendship, and community — a great way to start the day. 💕💪🏻

Drop Set Benefits 💪🏻

For your Bella Fit ladies, drop sets can be a great way to add intensity without needing heavier equipment, especially when training at parks or outdoor sessions.

By reducing the weight (or modifying the exercise) and continuing with minimal rest, drop sets:
✅ Increase muscle fatigue and endurance
✅ Challenge muscles in a shorter amount of time
✅ Help stimulate muscle growth and strength gains
✅ Add variety and keep workouts interesting
✅ Allow you to work hard without needing heavier weights

They’re a simple but effective way to push past that initial point of fatigue and get the most out of each exercise. Perfect for busy mums looking to maximise their workout time! 💪🏻🔥

Health Benefits of Açaí Berries

🫐 Rich in antioxidants

* Açaí contains powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins, which give the berries their deep purple colour.
* Antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and may help reduce inflammation.

❤️ May support heart health

* Research suggests açaí may help improve cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health.

🌱 Good source of fibre

* Fibre supports digestion, gut health, and helps keep you feeling fuller for longer. A 100g serving of açaí pulp contains around 4g of fibre.

🧠 May benefit brain health

* The antioxidants in açaí may help protect brain cells from oxidative stress and support healthy cognitive function as we age.

⚡ Provides healthy fats

* Unlike most fruits, açaí contains beneficial unsaturated fats, which can contribute to overall health and satiety.

A Note About Açaí Bowls

Many café-style açaí bowls contain added sweeteners, fruit juice, granola, chocolate, or other toppings that can significantly increase the sugar and calorie content. Choosing unsweetened açaí and adding protein (such as Greek yoghurt) can make it a more balanced meal or snack.

For Bella Fit mums, açaí can be a great post-workout addition when paired with protein and healthy toppings such as berries, chia seeds, nuts, and Greek yoghurt. 💪🏻🫐

Making time for my lifelong friends with a girls’ weekend away. 🩷

We’ve shared so many memories over the decades, and I’m so grateful that we’re still creating new ones together. It was the perfect mix of chats, walks, delicious food and drinks, and even a little dancing. 🥰

Life is busy, and time seems to move so quickly, which makes weekends like this even more special. I’m incredibly thankful for the support of my husband, family, and friends who helped with the kids so I could enjoy this much-needed time away.

“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.” ✨

This weekend also has me looking forward to our Bella Fit walk, where we can chat, catch up, and stay active together. It’s always so nice spending time with these amazing ladies outside of our regular sessions. 💕
