Making the Most of Your Surroundings – Interval Workout

January 13, 2016 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

Lou really loves doing sessions (and photoshoots) with me

Exercise doesn’t have to be expensive. It doesn’t have to mean gym memberships and personal trainers or fancy home gyms. What it does require is a little imagination. If you open your eyes to the world around you, you’ll see myriad opportunities to take advantage of your surroundings. It might be the playground at your child’s school, the park down the end of your street or the stairs to your apartment block. Or – as was the case during my trip home over Christmas – it could be the boat ramp and rowing club in town….

Crispy Skinned Salmon on Salad of Spinach, Blueberries and Pistachios

A couple of weeks back I was asked to put together a recipe for the team over at Shop Naturally. They have a beautiful website and an ethos that we can all aspire to, so of course I was going to say yes. Now, anyone that knows me knows that if I put together a recipe for you there are a couple of things you can be sure of. For starters, it’s going to be pretty simple. And secondly, it’s going to be pretty simple….

Monday Morning Kickstart Workout

March 1, 2015 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

Mondays. It’s fair to say that not many people really truly love them. It’s kind of a shame really, because they offer so much; a fresh start, a clean slate, a whole week of opportunity! But I won’t go into that in too much detail because hearing that on Sunday night will probably make you want to hit me….

Tabata Living Room Workout

March 2, 2014 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

Most of the time, I really enjoy working out by myself. I don’t tend to have many issues with motivation – I’m pretty happy to just get in and get my workout done. I know that’s not necessarily the case for everyone though – overwhelmingly, my clients tell me that they see me because they never really push themselves when training alone.

The Inaugural LGF (Home) Gym Workout

November 3, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

Outdoor workouts are fabulous (after all, they’re what LGF was built on!) but there’s nothing wrong with admitting you like to sweat it out in the gym on occasion as well. I actually haven’t had a gym membership in a while now and I must admit, there are times when I do miss it. Lucky for me I got a little dose of the good stuff last weekend while I was at home.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Group Workout

October 29, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 2 Comments

For whatever reason, in Australia (and around the rest of the world no doubt) most social situations tend to be based around food and/or drinks. And while I’m all for having a good time, if you’re trying to lose weight, alcohol and heavy food are pretty much the enemy….

Full Body Kettlebell Workout 1

October 17, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

Kettlebells are one of my favourite pieces of fitness equipment. Compact, versatile and oh-so effective, I can’t remember life as a trainer before them. One of the things I love about them is that you can design a whole workout using only a couple of bells. This means that you can set yourself up in a space on the gym floor and not have to worry about fighting people for the cable machines or treadmills. Or – if you prefer to work out in the comfort of your own home – it means that for a small investment you’ve got yourself a mini gym!

Another At-Home Dumbbell Workout

September 22, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

We had yet another stunning weekend here in Sydney, so what better way to spend some time than out in the backyard (or on the balcony) with a little LGF workout. As we’ve discussed previously in this blog post here, there’s a lot that can be done with a set of small-ish dumbbells and your own bodyweight.

8 Tips for When You Don’t Feel Like Working Out

September 19, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 4 Comments

Earlier this week I had a question from an LGF follower. She said that she’s been struggling to find motivation for her cardio sessions, and asked if I had any tips. The more I thought about it, the more tips I came up with… so much so that I thought the topic deserved a blog post of its own… and here it is!

It’s a fact of life that not every workout is going to be one you look forward to. Whether it’s a style of training you hate or one particular exercise that has you running for the hills, I’ve got a few tips to help you make it through your session unscathed.
