The reality of parenthood.

Little one has been sick with gastro🤮 the last few days so been a rough couple of nights. 🥱

During times like this when I’m getting up during the night I need to make what sleep I can get a priority, so training often takes a backseat until we’re back to normal.

Certainly not ideal but it’s all just part of life right?! A few days off here and there is fine, the key is getting back into it when you can.

To all the mums and dads out there, I get it!!!

Hopefully we have a good night sleep tonight and I’m back at it tomorrow 🤞

A sweaty leg session this morning done in my very hot garage using just a bench, dumbbells and a couple of bands.

Who says you need a gym membership to workout?!

🔹A1 - Bulgarian Split Squats - 12, 12, 10, 8, 8*

🔹B1 - Goblet Squats - 15, 15, 12, 10*
🔹B2 - DB RDL’s - 15, 15, 12, 10*

🔹C1 - High heel DB Squats (quads) - 3 sets x 15
🔹C2 - Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets x 15
🔹C3 - Banded Hip Abduction - 3 sets x 20-30 (I lost count 🤦🏼‍♀️)

* Increasing weight each set

This takes me about 45 minutes and rest periods are around 1-2 mins depending on the exercise and weights etc.

Been super slack on here lately and I don’t have an excuse 😂.

On a positive note, my training has been 👌. I’m in the final phase of by which I have learnt a lot from, both as a fresh PT and for my own 🍑 growth. Here’s a snippet of this mornings session.

It’s actually nice to follow a plan that someone else has prepared, it’s kept me on track and given me something to stick to which is awesome.

There isn’t a lot we can control in the world right now but getting and staying fit is one of them 💪.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thursday throwback to my Deadlift competition in 2017.

With the training and guidance from an amazing coach I breezed through a PB on the day.

I trained so long for this and I remember the few weeks leading up to it thinking “I don’t really want to do this” and looking for excuses. Thank god I went through with it though as it was a big personal achievement for me.

Stepping out of our comfort zone can be scary (I was terrified) but it’s great to have something to work towards, to stick to a plan and smash your target.

Who else feels totally awkward taking gym selfies 🤦🏼‍♀️

Second leg session of the week went like this:

A1. Conventional deadlifts
B1. Leg press
B2. Dumbbell RDL’s
C1. Leg extensions
C2. Lying leg curls
C3. Seated machine abductions

And that was me done. So good to have gyms open again, I only make it 1-2 times per week but love it when I’m there.

I like to take my time with the big lifts like deadlifts and squats etc. so I find they take up a fair chunk of my session.

I currently aim for three lower body and two upper body sessions each week which I find works really well for me.

Need help with your training plan or program?

Back to reality after two weeks at home in NZ, spending time with family and friends in complete holiday mode.

I had great intentions of daily exercise, even taking a set of resistance bands with me (they didn’t leave my suitcase 😂).

While away, I did one gym session, one run around the block and one walk 🙋🏼‍♀️. Do I feel bad about it? Hell no!!!

I stayed up late, drank a lot of🍷and ate way too much but I enjoyed every minute of our time there so

Holiday is over though so I’m back into training, eating better and tracking my calories again. Let’s see what I can achieve over the next 12 weeks 💪.

I’m not much of a runner, never been that great at it, but I don’t mind the occasional jog around the block.

A bit of fresh air, wind in the face and a change of scenery is good for the soul plus it feels good to get moving.

Walk or run, 20 mins or an hour, every bit counts!

With Melbourne in another lockdown, getting outside and doing some exercise or going for a walk can make a big difference to your day.

Get out there!

Holiday time!!!

We finally made it to New Zealand and the little one is meeting all his family, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so happy to be home.

Will still do a bit of training here and there but I’m just going to enjoy some down time, see family as much as we can and have some fun. Also going to make the most of a full time babysitter while we’re here, thanks mum.

Right now though, little ones asleep and everyone is out so I’m sitting down with a good book by and a glass of red.
