Some of the most enjoyable experiences of my life have involved social fitness. From organised events like the City 2 Surf or Tough Bloke Challenge through to lunchtime runs with workmates or casual outdoor sweat sessions and beach walks, I don’t think there’s anything better than getting sweaty with friends (and strangers for that matter). That’s why I’ve never understood why some people choose only to socialise when there’s alcohol involved….
My Cosmo Shoot Is Out!
If you’d asked me a year ago to compile a list of my most hidden, depths-of-my-soul dreams, I don’t think I would have even been game enough to write ‘magazine feature and photo shoot’. But somehow, somewhere, someone is shining down on me, because recently I had the incredible good fortune to be part of exactly that with the fabulous team from Cosmopolitan magazine….
LGF Upper Body Challenge – Starts Soon
Nike She Runs – 2014 (and Happy Birthday LGF!)
One year ago today I began this blog with a wrap up of Nike She Runs 2013… which incidentally I must have accidentally trashed at some point because I now can’t find it anywhere. #awkward. Anyway, in some ways I feel like I’ve been talking to you guys for waaay longer than that, and yet in many other ways I feel like it was only yesterday that I was sitting at Toko Sushi Train in Paddington with my friend (and now housemate) Kate, discussing how I was going to put together my first post. In celebration of the anniversary of that first Nike She Runs post I thought I’d do…. another Nike She Runs post! Look, I know I could have been a little more imaginative, but the dates just work. So here we go again Team…

‘VEGAS-BABY’ BOSU Ball Workout
The novelty of Monday is over, and now – after a string of short weeks – we finally have to face the reality of five days at work… in a row! Yuck. Lucky for you, I thought I’d make things a little easier with a fun-filled workout, guaranteed to get the endorphins flowing. You find squat jumps fun, right?

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.

Valentine’s Day: a Single (Lazy) Girl’s Guide
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…

Lower Body & Core Workout with Plyo Box
Given that it’s Valentine’s Week (is that even a thing?) I thought it was as good a time as any to announce that I have found true love. Let me reassure you though; the object of my affections is not a man, nay, it’s not even human. In fact, the very thing that has my heart all aflutter doesn’t even have a heart of its own.
Let me introduce you to the plyometric box.

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!
