fun, accessible workouts for women
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!

Listen, most of us wouldn’t say no to a little Valentine’s Day excitement, right? A bouquet of flowers just big enough to make us blush, dinner at our favourite restaurant (or better yet, a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal), a little Paradise by the Dashboard Light (woo! Meatloaf!) blaring through the speakers…

I can’t believe that today is the last day of the year! 2013 has been quite a journey for me, with some incredible highs and not-so-great lows – a similar story to pretty much everyone else I’d imagine. And while I know a lot of people say you should never look back because you’re not going that way, personally I think there’s some merit in taking a little time to reflect on the year that was and the lessons you learned. After all, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it [that’s George Santayana, if you’re interested]….
I LOVE Christmas. Each year I try to keep my excitement in check until around mid-November (I don’t want to risk peaking too early) but in all honesty there is nothing more exciting to me than Santa and his wonderful world of elves, reindeer and presents (yay!).

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.

One of my friends has spent the last few of months training for a Big Event. It’s the kind of Big Event that requires both physical and mental fortitude, the kind of Big Event that pushes you outside your comfort zone and then some. She’s been training like a trooper – hours on the road, in the gym and in the yoga studio – to ensure her body is in peak condition when the day of the Big Event arrives.

The final week of the 28-Day Abs Challenge has begun! Congratulations to all of you who are still hanging in there – I know it’s been tough the last few days. The good news is that we’re now a mere seven days (or five abs sessions) from the finish line.

Week Three! If this was the City2Surf, you’d be almost at the top of Heartbreak Hill right now – the going gets tough this week (really tough) but you’re starting to feel like you can almost see the finish line and it feels GOOD! If you’re starting to struggle, don’t be afraid to split your workout up – do half in the morning and half before bed. It doesn’t matter when you’re doing the challenge, just as long as you keep doing it!

FACT: doing the same workout week after week can get boring. FACT: if you’re new to exercise figuring out ways to mix up your workout can be difficult. FACT: If you don’t have access to any equipment, it’s even more difficult. FACT: typing FACT makes me feel like I’m in some kind of election ad. FACT: I kind of like it.
