8 Tips for When You Don’t Feel Like Working Out

September 19, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 4 Comments

Earlier this week I had a question from an LGF follower. She said that she’s been struggling to find motivation for her cardio sessions, and asked if I had any tips. The more I thought about it, the more tips I came up with… so much so that I thought the topic deserved a blog post of its own… and here it is!

It’s a fact of life that not every workout is going to be one you look forward to. Whether it’s a style of training you hate or one particular exercise that has you running for the hills, I’ve got a few tips to help you make it through your session unscathed.

My New Favourite Workout

September 16, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 2 Comments

I’ve got a new favourite workout.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve had a few days where I’ve been lacking my usual drive to get stuck into a high intensity circuit. I don’t really know why… I think I’ve just been feeling tired after some busy weekends away. Anyway whatever the reason, rather than force the issue, I’ve adapted my workouts a little, turning them into something a little more palatable.

Simple Holiday Workout

September 2, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

Getting away for the weekend can be good for the soul, but there’s no doubt that it can also put a dent in the most well-laid exercise plans. So what to do when you’re away from the comfort of home with a hankering for some calorie-burning? Well, the good news is that you don’t have to have a lot of space, equipment (or even shoes for that matter!) to fit in a cheeky workout.

At-Home Dumbbell Workout

August 25, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 1 Comment

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.

My 10 Favourite Exercise Excuses

July 25, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 5 Comments

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.

One Fence, Five Ways

July 14, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness 3 Comments

If you’ve been following my blog here for a while (well, the 10 weeks that it’s been going anyway), no doubt you’ll be aware that many of my workouts are designed to be undertaken outside in the fresh air. As an outdoor trainer, it’s possible that I’m a little biased, but I do think there’s something special about training amongst nature, with the smell of freshly cut grass, rain and the occasional dog poo.

What’s not to love about the great outdoors?

11 Easy Ways to Add Incidental Exercise to Your Life

July 11, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

No doubt you hear the term ‘incidental exercise’ bandied about fairly regularly, but maybe (like many people) you don’t quite understand what it is, and the huge health benefits it can bring. So, what actually is incidental exercise, and how can you apply it to your life to help you burn more calories and lose weight faster? Well in short, incidental exercise is the exercise you get when exercising is not your main objective. (Phew, try saying that five times fast.)

And while incidental exercise should never be seen as a replacement for dedicated exercise, it really can make a difference to your health, particularly if weight loss is your main objective.
