fun, accessible workouts for women
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.

Firstly, Merry Merry MERRY Christmas! Secondly, do not curse me for posting a workout on Christmas Day. I PROMISE I am not trying to guilt you into working out on this glorious occasion, I’m not even suggesting I’ll do it myself. I am merely providing you with a quick workout that can be slotted in between courses SHOULD YOU SO NEED IT to (hopefully) avoid the customary undoing of the top button on your shorts. …
What a weekend! Between Christmas catch-ups, play dates with Lucy and Panda the gorgeous greyhounds, the beginning of the Advent Calendar Challenge and my first visit to UFC Gym Sydney, I am EXHAUSTED. Lucky for you (unlucky for you?) not too exhausted to put together another good old LGF workout for you to partake in….
Last week at work I overheard one of my colleagues say (and I quote) ‘it’s too wet to go to the gym’. I can’t quite get my head around this one, given that most gyms I’ve visited have four walls and a roof designed specifically to keep the rain out, but apparently it’s the journey to the gym while it’s raining that’s overwhelming. So anyway, I thought I’d make life easier for everyone with another simple workout that you can do at home, no mad dash from the parking lot to the gym required….

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.

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!
It’s a common misconception among women that a lunch break does not provide enough time for a good weights-based workout – I think that’s why you see so many of us pounding away on the treadmill day in, day out. The truth is that you can get a great strength session completed in under 30 minutes, which leaves plenty of time to have a shower, re-apply makeup and blow dry your hair, or whatever it is that you need to do. The trick is simple – be prepared.

Sometimes getting to the gym just isn’t an option. Maybe you’re at home with a sleeping baby or you’ve only got a short window of time available. Or maybe you can’t justify spending money on a gym membership at the moment. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t mean you have to forgo a workout. I’ve put something together that you can do in the comfort of your own home, or out in the fresh air at a park if you’d prefer. You should be able to find everything you need in your surroundings, so go on, enjoy!
