Is it just me or is January disappearing frighteningly fast? I swear that it was New Year’s Eve last week, but my calendar tells me that it’s actually January 20th today (ahem, that’s seven days until my birthday if anyone is interested). The good news about this strange speedy-time phenomenon is that it’s time for me to head home and visit my family again, and this time I am bringing the boy along with me for the first time!. …
30-Minute Running Workout
I think I’ve re-discovered my love of running. It’s been coming in waves over the past few months, but I can finally honestly say that I’m enjoying it again.

The Lululemon Run Collective Seminar Series Hits Sydney
There are less than six weeks left until the City2Surf, aka the mostly hotly anticipated event on my sporting calendar. I’ve been running it since my second year at uni (which was longer ago than I care to remember) and I honestly do look forward to it more than is probably normal….
Blackmores Running Festival 2014 Wrap-Up
Two things I love: Family and fun runs. This past weekend I got to indulge in both, with my ma and bro in town for the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival….
The 2014 City2Surf
So a week has passed since the 2014 City2Surf and I’m finally getting around to putting together my wrap-up. Please excuse me if it’s a little disjointed, I am full of Sudafed and Armaforce in a bid to rid myself of this annoying flu that seems to have made a home in my body……
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!

Cardio Interval Workout
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’.

The 2013 City2Surf
Ahhh sweet City2Surf. The race itself may be over for another year, but thankfully the glow of satisfaction that comes with competing in the world’s largest fun run is still with me – for a little while at least.

LG Motivation – Bev Robinson (yup, my mum!)
Most of us have taken a break from exercise at some point in our life. And no matter the reason (injury, new job, laziness, having children or any other shift in priorities) there’s one thing that can be guaranteed – it’s REALLY difficult to get back into it.
So when that ‘break from exercise’ turns into decades and becomes a way of life, how do you find the motivation to turn things around? Well, today I’m talking to a very special lady who did just that. She also happens to be the world’s best mum, and she’s mine, so hands off.
