fun, accessible workouts for women
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.

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!

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.

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….
One of the most frustrating creatures I see at the gym is the cardio-bookworm, recognisable by the book in their hands as the pedal ever so slowly on the recline bike, or meandering along on a treadmill while flipping through the pages of a magazine. You’d think they were on a stroll through the countryside instead of at the gym in the middle of a ‘workout’.

Excuses for not exercising are the best. They’re fun, imaginative and – much like the old ‘dog ate my homework’ trick – they’re also completely transparent. Here are 10 of my favourites, as well as some rebuttal for you to use next time you find yourself in an internal argument about whether or not you’re going to the gym.

I often get asked about my training schedule, with many people assuming I work out every day. I don’t – nor do I think it’s necessary – and I thought today was as good a day as any to let you step a little further into my own lazy girl world by sharing my training program with you.
