My goodness I love long weekends. Can you imagine if every weekend was four days long? Or even three – I don’t want to be greedy.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Sprint Workout
If you’ve been following Lazy Girl Fitness for a while, you’ll know that my mum is pretty awesome when it comes to fitness and life in general. So when she called me the other week and asked if I’d put together a sprint training session for her and the lovely ladies (and occasional ring-in male) she trains with, I was more than happy to oblige – the only condition was that she had to provide feedback and take some piccies for me. Easy!…
The Importance of Being Flexible (with your workouts at least)
It’s pretty widely acknowledged as fact that for optimum results, you should always ALWAYS go into your workout session with a plan. But what about when you just don’t wanna do legs? You simply cannot do another push up. You will DIE if someone makes you do another kettlebell swing. You can’t! You won’t!

Medicine Ball Workout 1
It’s been a hectic week here in LGF land, as Lou and I adjust to our new lives as Bondi hipsters. Between visiting the Bondi Farmer’s Markets, late afternoon swims at the beach, breakfasting in North Bondi, finding new places to work out and general exploration of our new environment, we’ve been busy little bees. Yep, while it’s been quite an adjustment for the both of us, we’re trying to make the most of this little piece of heaven you might know as the Eastern Surburbs!

The Eight-Minute Christmas Pudding Workout
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. …
The 12 Days of Christmas Workout
Christmas is a most excellent time of year in the fitness industry. It gives personal trainers the world over a chance to theme their workouts and plan awesome sessions that involve chimney climbers, reindeer games and North pole lunges. It allows us to develop Christmas quizzes, punish you with burpees for incorrect answers and force to you hop around like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Ah yes, as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t get any better….
