Do you struggle finding time and/or motivation to exercise?

Do you find yourself saying things like “I will start my exercise program next week?” and then next week comes and goes and you haven’t done it?
Do you have the mindset that you must work out for hours each week or it’s just not worth it anyway?

Our lives are busy and exhausting. There never seems to be enough hours in the day. It’s much easier to blob and do nothing at the end of the day but that makes us feel guilty and we stay in the perpetual cycle of knowing we should do something but it’s all too hard. Procrastination, followed by guilt – or chocolate or biscuits!!

Let me tell you that there is a way to fit essential exercises into your life
- Without it taking up all your time
- Without a bunch of equipment
- Without leaving your house if you don’t want to
- No matter how much previous experience you have

After having two babies close together and returning to more regular exercise, I found a program for myself that worked! As a personal trainer, I follow that same formula to help people get stronger and function/move better in their daily lives. They feel stronger, healthier and actually notice the results.

If it has worked for me and worked for them, it can work for you too.

If you are interested in getting your exercise routine going, or getting back on track then contact me today. I would love to help you!

CORE TRAINING: Try these at home exercises for strength and stability.

MUMS - did you know that your glutes, abdominals and pelvic floor muscles can all become inhibited because of pregnancy and having babies? Or by sitting at your desk for hours.

If you re establish your mind muscle connection and reactivate these muscle groups (along with others), you can actually avoid pain and injury that can occur from these imbalances.

So getting some advice about an exercise plan that progresses as you need it to is really helpful.

These exercises:

Bird dog x 20
Reverse plank and thrust x10
Towel row x10
Mountain climbers (if your ab separation is not still an issue) x 20

Don't forget to stretch!!

Love a green smoothie!!!!

Green because spinach is such an essential vege to eat. It's packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. So it's linked with many health benefits such as helping to moderate blood pressure, can support energy levels and can support bone health.

Try milk (I like oat milk), heaps of baby spinach, and a banana.

Stretching is an essential part of any workout. It's not to make your muscles less sore from a workout. This will happen sometimes when you do an intense workout or something new.

But it does help keep you mobile, thus improving how your body functions, helping correct or prevent muscular imbalances. That's highly beneficial because the more mobility we have, the more it helps prevent those little niggles or even injury.

So don't skip your stretches!!!

Hummus one of my favorite snacks. Yes I have run out of more nutritious crackers but that's not stopping me.

Hummus is naturally high in plant based protein and fibre. This has a more gradual effect on your blood sugar, so you stay full for a while.

It can also help with weight management and it's rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients.

A nutritious and delicious addition to a nice cracker or carrot stick.

Mums with no time.

YOU CAN exercise effectively and quickly? Comment YES

Eggs, pesto, sourdough, tomato. It's a winner. Could be breakfast lunch or dinner. Full of satisfying protein, carbs, Vit A, Vit C, folate and potassium.

Do you struggle finding time and/or motivation to exercise? Do you put your health and fitness goals at the bottom of the list?

Mum life is hectic.

It can be exhausting tending to the needs of others and constantly thinking about your own needs last.

I know I used to.

You wake up early, you go to bed late, but there are still never enough hours in the day.

The struggle is REAL. So much is expected of us. The emotional load is massive. The pressure of raising little humans to be amazing adults and to thrive in their futures, in a world we know nothing of. It can be overwhelming at times.

So when do you fit yourself and your own health/ wellbeing into all of that?

Plus where do you start? What is the best exercise to do? Will it give you the result you want? Will you be able to stick with it, or will it be a failed attempt and go on the back burner again?

If you are sick and tired of the relentless fatigue and guilty feeling that comes along with being far from your best physically……let me assure you that there is an exercise plan that DOESN’T take up too much time (15-20 minute workouts) and you DON’T have to do it every day, but it will make you stronger and fitter and YOU WILL feel much better.

Some new year exercises to try. You'll find these and more on some of my 12 week programs. No equipment needed!! Do them at home.

They are:

= Down dog and leg lifts (repeat 10 x on each leg)
= Ab roll up and toe touches (repeat 10 x)
= Side plank with hip up/down (see how many you can do!)

Repeat x 2

You Do NOT need to spend more than 20 minutes a few times a week exercising to get stronger and live in a more functional, pain free body. Not everyone has that option... so set a realistic goal.

Taryn well done for trusting the process... slowing down to speed up, putting in the mahi and gaining functional strength, while getting rid of that hip pain!!!

Exercise to me personally is not so much about trying to look like a fitness model (which I don't as you can see), but it is about living in a healthy body that functions well NOW and in FUTURE. That means the right exercise and making sure it's a habit.
How do you keep your exercise habit going? Does it help you function well?
