fun, accessible workouts for women
Navigating the stormy seas of gym correctness can leave even the most hardy gym-goer emotionally and mentally exhausted. Is it ever ok to leave sweat drips on the treadmill? Towel or no towel on the way to the showers? I answer these, and all of your other burning etiquette questions, in today’s post.

So in case you hadn’t noticed, since the Tough Bloke Challenge a week ago I’ve developed a little thing for adventure races. Getting down and really really dirty with mates can be quite a bonding experience, but one thing I’ve learnt is that ordinary workouts simply don’t prepare you for knee high mud, monkey bars, tyre-jumping, rope climbing and wall clambering. No sirree, this kind of hell deserves it’s own special kind of training.
If you haven’t done much in the way of exercise since compulsory PD/H/PE classes ended in year eight there’s no doubt that many of the workouts out there (and even on here) could be a little intimidating. So if the phrase ‘high intensity interval training’ has you cowering in the corner, fear not – this post is for you!
My brother and his fiancé have been visiting for the past few days which is super cool for a lot of obvious reasons, but one thing I wasn’t counting on was how awesome it is to have someone to train with. Generally I’m more than happy to train alone but I’d forgotten what a positive effect a training partner can have on your session.

Well, it would seem you’re not alone. According to the 2011-12 Australian Health Survey, a whopping 63% of Australian adults are classed as overweight or obese, which would indicate that there’s a heck of a lot of people out there forgoing exercise in favour of extra sleep, boozy lunches, longer work hours or any other of the myriad excuses that us personal trainers hear daily.
