GEORGIE – Lead legs aside – how to motivate yourself…

March 31, 2010

I can be flakey. Lots of people can. But when it comes to exercise, being flakey is just not going to work. Not as a regular fixture. Let’s first of all discount what I call ‘lead legs’ syndrome. You eat well, feel rested and be looking forward/feeling like exercising. Then when you get out on [...]

March 30, 2010

Apologies in advance, boys, but this blog is probably solely for the ladies! It’s no myth… hit 30 and those bingo wings appear with a vengeance – I’m shocked that it’s happened to me!

ZAR – ‘Healthy’ foods to watch out for!

March 28, 2010

When you make an effort to eat healthy, there are foods which we all know are bad for us – deep fried foods, chocolate, chips, biscuits etc and we determinedly stay away from these. But did you know that there are also healthy foods which and other incidental items which you might not think about [...]

ROSIE – The “ultimate” body…

March 26, 2010

I have a confession… and I’m glad to say that I know at least one other person who has the same embarrassing admission, Zar, who I skyped this morning. We’re both addicted to the TV show “The Biggest Loser”. What a superb programme! I just love it – seeing the transformation in both mind and [...]

ZAR – Quick fixes!! NO TAKEAWAYS!!!

March 24, 2010

Don’t we all have that moment either on the way home from work, or when you get home, so hungry you’ll eat whatever’s in the postbox? That’s when the toast goes on, the chips come out or you give in and order a takeaway. This is all part of learning new habits, re-organising your lifestyle [...]

ROSIE – “I don’t want to bulk up” … that old chestnut…

March 22, 2010

I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve had people say to me “but I don’t want to use weights as I don’t want to get bulky”… it’s the biggest fitness myth. Strangely enough, these same people tend to be overweight and unhappy with their body. Their goal? To become toned, lean and slender. [...]

GEORGIE – Nothing beats a good stride-out!

March 21, 2010

Just a simple topic to ease us into the week ahead – the merits of walking. Today was a beautiful sunny day, which here in Blighty makes us feel like we are finally heading spring-ward. A brisk North wind meant I am far too delicate to cycle (my hands get cold! poor diddums!) so I [...]

ROSIE – Getting fit doesn’t have to cost you the earth!

March 19, 2010

Exercising sure can rack up in cost. There’s that gym membership, perhaps the cost of a personal trainer (touche!), gym clothes (cos you have to look good, right?). Before you know it it’s really cost a lot and if you only go to the gym once in a blue moon each visit to the gym [...]

ZAR – appreciating what you’ve got (and its not bad down under!!)

March 18, 2010

Life is so busy…..we all are. Whether you have a family, a career, lots of hobbies, travel or all of the above, we rush around like crazy things most of the time without really taking a moment to appreciate what we have or the life we live. You may be happy buying a new big [...]

ROSIE – Calories – boy do they stack up!!

March 17, 2010

I’m loathed to risk sounding repetitious as I’m aware we’ve almost covered this a couple of times in our blog site. But such is the importance of this topic that I thought I would go over it JUST ONE MORE TIME as I am convinced that it is THE MAIN REASON FOR WEIGHT GAIN. So, [...]
