My first ever DEKA Mile and wow… what an experience. 🔥
I went into it carrying an injury and with hardly any cardio training under my belt these past couple of months, so I knew it was going to be tough. And it was.
I’ll be honest — I felt frustrated with my body and my fitness at times. But there was also something really powerful about showing up anyway. Taking on a challenge I wasn’t fully prepared for reminded me that I can do hard things… even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable.
It was awesome. I loved it. And now I’m keen to improve. 💪🏼
Huge thank you to for booking my ticket 😝and pushing me to get there, and to my boys for cheering me on 🩶
Can’t wait for the next one.

Exactly how I love to start every year, time away with the fam!
Recharge the batteries 🔋 switch off from technology and enjoy the sunshine ☀️
We kayak, ski, walk, run, bike ride, workout 🏋🏼♀️ , kneeboard and wakeboard to stay active. But we also chill by reading 📖 , colouring, fishing 🎣 , listening to music 🎶 and having a couple of cheeky wines 🍷
Fit for life always!
Now it’s time to work 💪🏼

Ipsilateral vs. Contralateral Bulgarian Split Squats — What’s the Difference?
The Bulgarian split squat is already a killer unilateral leg exercise — but the way you load it can totally shift the focus. Let’s break it down 👇
🟢 Contralateral Loading (opposite hand to front leg)
➡️ Promotes more core + glute engagement
➡️ Challenges balance and anti-rotation
➡️ Great for building functional strength and stability
🟣 Ipsilateral Loading (same hand as front leg)
➡️ Increases quad and knee demand
➡️ More direct leg loading, less core challenge
➡️ Ideal for targeting strength imbalances on one side
🔥 Neither is “better” — they just hit differently. Try both and see where your weaknesses are hiding!

Salmon & Coleslaw
When trained chefs become your friends, you get delicious recipes like this 🤤
Macros
P 50.6 C 31.6 F 30.8
Calories 626
Ingredients
200g salmon
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey
1/4 cabbage
1 carrot
40ml white vinegar
1 tsp raw sugar
1 tsp salt
50g spinach
20g pickled onions
2 tsp Greek yoghurt
Method
Mix soy, sesame oil and honey and place salmon into marinate
Shred cabbage and grate carrot, sprinkle with salt and sugar and mix thoroughly. Add vinegar, then mix again. Set aside (this can be done in advance so the cabbage softens a little)
Place pan onto medium heat, allow pan to get nice and hot. Place salmon in pan, cook for 2-3 minutes each side depending on thickness (salmon will ‘blacken’ quickly due to the honey. Dont panic, it will taste nice)
Place spinach on plate/bowl and put coleslaw on top (there will be some liquid at the bottom. Thats fine and can discard if needed). Add pickled onion
Top salad with salmon, place dollop of Greek yoghurt on the side with some lemon.

Client Testimonial
I started working with Tamara after multiple injuries and surgeries on a broken pelvis and a wrist reconstruction which left my body badly out of whack with some muscles doing all the work and others completely shutting down. Two years later and in my late thirties I’m as strong and flexible as I’ve ever been. With Tamaras help and knowledge I’ve been able to get back to dirt bike riding, complete a six day backpacking hike in New Zealand alps, and find my daily life as a tradesman and dad of two young kids so much easier. Her programs are always perfectly tailored to my needs and the goals I’m trying to achieve at that time. Whether it was rehab, helping ease pain in certain areas or building specific muscles for hiking and carrying weight. Even when an old injury flares up Tamara is able to adapt the program on the fly so that I don’t miss a session. I highly recommended Tamara and her wealth of knowledge to anyone needing specific training to overcome an injury or with a goal they want to achieve.
Thank you Tamara!
