If you are looking for a better, healthier alternative to a spread like peanut butter, give this a try! I added some to my pancakes this morning to add some good essential fats. @woolworths_au sells it in the health food isle. #shredfitness #cleaneating #nutbutter #getsomenutz #goodfats #macrofoods

When you really aren't bothered to exercise you will come up with pretty much any excuse not to. Too tired, not feeling well, too cold, no time... I considered not training today for all of 3sec, then came to my senses, and thought what can I punish myself with in the shortest possible time. 20mins As Many Rounds As Possible. Got 7 rounds out. Absolute joke of a workout lol #igfitness #instafit #fitness #shredfitness #shredded #simplyshredded #aesthetic #youngandaesthetic #fitnessfreak #fit #healthy #aesthetic_revolution #instagramfitness #fitspo #fitnessaddict #shredded_academy #shrednation #igfit #igfitfam #fitfam #lean #training #gym #workout #football #instafitsociety #nike #motivation

I never start the day without my standard breakfast, protein oatmeal with @optimum_nutrition 100% whey banana protein, oats and black chia seeds. Good source of carbs and fats along with the protein to get my day going. #cleaneating #shredfitness #fitspo #fitness #instafit #instagramfitness #leanlife #optimumnutrition #breakfast #oats

The clear benefits of a multi-dimensional exercise regimen that includes resistance exercise, interval sprint exercise, stretching (including yoga or pilates), endurance exercise, and moderate amounts of protein consumed regularly throughout the day have been demonstrated and reported by exercise scientists. If your goal is to lose weight and maintain optimal health and fitness, the quality of your exercise and diet regimen matters more than the quantity, they say.

My personal transformation over a 1 year period. Exercising my whole life playing lots of teams sports, I always considered myself pretty fit. Never really thought about what I was eating and how it was affecting my results, in regards to my physical appearance and performance.  It wasn't until I started my course at the Australian Institute of Fitness, and my mentor program at Vision Personal Training that I realised how wrong I was. Learning correct technique with exercises and having structure in work outs made a big difference in the gym, but results really didn't start to show til I made the change to my nutrition. I'll never forget the instant increase in my running performance just by changing what I was eating. The 2 middle pictures were taken 9 weeks apart! I had been going to the gym on and off for about 4 years, trying all sorts of supplements, but with clean eating and the right level of exercise I was able to achieve amazing results in a short amount of time. Knowing what It feels like to achieve great results, and the effort it took, gives me the drive and passion to want to motivate my clients to do the same for themselves. Educating on ways to create healthy lifestyles instead of a "quick fix" is my main objective in the industry. Changing peoples mindsets and showing them that they CAN do it, if they want it enough. I have started this blog page to help share my personal fitness journey, and hopefully inspire my local community to start to take action TODAY and get their health on track!
