Love this quote! I used to be so embarrassed at the gym if I was sweaty that I would stop my workout. Not anymore! I embrace that stuff :) I know something is working. Get your sweat in people, you’re still beautiful! Leah and Carly xo

Leah and I completed a 35km walk a few weeks ago and wow, what a challenge it was! We walked the railway heritage reserve trail in Perth, Western Australia. The trail is quite an even walk with just a few hills to endure. We were surrounded by beautiful scenery, other keen hikers, bikers and the odd snake….. Yes, we came very close to a grass snake that crossed our path! Prior to our walk we stocked up on plenty of fluids, especially water, snacks including nuts, fruit, protein bars and sandwiches to keep our energy up and to ensure our bodies hydrated and replenished well! For the most part both leah and I felt great, snacking and drinking often and ensuring we rested well along the way. It was only when we reached 25km’s that our bodies started showing signs of fatigue. We continued to snack on our healthy options and tried to remain positive knowing the end was in sight! While leah continued to show strength even until the very end, I on the other hand began to struggle with the discomfort in my knee that slowly began to become worse with every step I took towards the end! Thankfully, we made it to the finish, exhausted but overjoyed that we made it and didn't up! A big thank you to leah for the encouragement and positive strength she gave. If I wasn't with her on the walk I certainly would have given up before the end!

Just remember guys, continue to challenge yourself, push yourself and surround yourself with people who bring the best out of you!

After my awesome session this morning, (3km run, 10minutes of high intensity plus low intensity on the spin bike and I finished off with upper and lower weights) I will continue to push forward and keep going! Not only do I feel amazing after working out, I feel positive and strong enough to continue looking forward and not to look back!

The Gym will become my friend, not my enemy!!

Keep focused and remain positive.

Getting back into it!

I, (Carly) today will be heading back to the gym and rebooting my body back into the fitness world. I took a short absence from my workouts due to believing that my body needed a rest, but that rest turned into something longer and as a result made me feel as though I failed my body. Not only did my body start to look different, but my mindset didn’t feel as though it was being refreshed as much as it should.

I want to share my experiences with you and too, be completely honest.

Enjoy the posts and enjoy your day!

Did you know?

For the first 15 minutes of your workout, your body burns sugar and carbs. At 30minutes, your body enters the fat burning zone. Don't give up, keeping pushing! Carly and Leah xo

Finding motivation to get started

Lets face it, we have all struggled at times with motivating ourselves when it comes to working out, but nothing is harder than kicking the couch potato habit and embarking on a new fitness regime.

Kick starting the journey can be the toughest challenge to face, but I just want to say these journeys are not easy but they are rewarding and the longer you stick at it, the easier it becomes.

To get started; Set yourself a goal Create an eating plan Find a workout buddy Treat yourself to new workout gear Sign up to a gym or exercise classes

And remember….STICK AT IT!

Remain positive, focused and fabulous!

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

Going to the gym or shopping! A girl can never have too many clothes :P

HIIT

Ahhhh high intensity interval training (HIIT). How I love to hate or maybe, hate to love you. You make me so disgustingly sweaty and out of breath but my, oh my, you are a whole lotta fun! HIIT involves alternating between low intensity and short bursts of very high intensity exercise. For example: 30 secs of sprinting and 60 secs of walking repeated. This can be done anaerobically (with weights such as Crossfit) and aerobically with cardio. This type of exercise takes a lot less time and also burns more body fat than going for a jog. What more could you ask for I say! Now, if you are a beginner at HIIT then I would recommend you do around 20-30mins for each workout until you understand how your body will react to the training. Also, a 3-4 minute warm up and warm down is necessary so that you do not feel dizzy and nauseous afterwards. When you feel up to it fitness wise then you could try 60 secs of sprinting and 30 sec walking, try and do this for 5-10 cycles and I can gaurentee you that you will be in the middle of a love/hate relationship with HIIT!! Have fun friends, Leah and Carly xo
