It’s no secret that I’ve got a bit of a thing for Lululemon. And by ‘thing’ I mean I’d exchange my hypothetical firstborn child for a van full of Lulu clothing. Maybe even just a shopping trolley full if I’m honest. So while I may not be the biggest or bendiest yogi going around, when I found out that Lululemon was helping to bring Wanderlust to Sydney, I was in.

31-Minute Bodyweight HIIT Workout
What. A. Week. I am totally and utterly exhausted as I sit here with a glass of water and a (bigger) glass of wine, pulling together the workout that I planned for you guys last weekend.
This workout is pretty indicative of what I’ve had time for in my own schedule this week – it’s hard, it’s fast and it’s simple.
Enjoy.
The Perfect Weekend
OK so it’s not often that I share specifics or go into any great detail about my weekends (a girl’s gotta have some secrets, right?) but I’ve had a couple of EXCELLENT ones of late, and it got me to thinking about what it is that makes a weekend special for me.
Deck of Cards Workout
Thank goodness Friday has finally arrived! I’ve been feeling really flat this week – probably a combination of my dadda heading home, the cold creeping in and this unpredictable weather! Lou has a storm-phobia, and while I’m we’re very lucky to be surrounded by people who look out for him, it doesn’t stop the anxiety whenever I see ‘possible thunderstorms’ on the radar – which seems to be every second day at the moment!
Zesty Apricot & Cacao Chip Bliss Balls
In case you missed it over on Instagram last night, this week I un-cooked a couple of batches of bliss balls for a charity bake sale at work. These delicious bite-sized morsels are excellent little energy snacks to keep in the fridge or freezer for when you need a quick hit and don’t want to reach for something unhealthy.
Let’s HIIT It!
If you’ve been following my travels on Facebook or Twitter recently, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been loving Fitness First’s new look The Zone gym on King Street in the Sydney CBD. The high intensity 30 minute (or 15 minute for the seriously time-poor) classes are an excellent way to escape the computer and burn some serious calories, fast.
Fruit, Nut & Choc Energy Snack
3pm – AKA The Danger Zone. The time of day most likely to have us reaching for chocolate or biscuits or (oh dear) biscuits coated in chocolate. Of course the issue is that by the time we hit The Danger Zone it’s not just hunger that we’re contending with. It’s also boredom and dipping sugar levels. It’s an energy slump. It’s the fact that we just like eating darn it!
Tabata Living Room Workout
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.
