H E A LT H I offer a functional approach to exercise which is safe and effective for all ages and abilities. I run a stretch class at Jetts on Thursdays, consisting of yoga and Pilates and a Super Session on Saturday mornings which is an outdoor group class. Having 24 hour access to the gym means my clients can visit when it suits them, but if you can't commit to regular workouts at a gym, try to squeeze some exercise into life wherever you can. As a working mother of three, I understand the demands of a busy lifestyle and making the most of a workout to produce the best result is the easiest way to minimise the time you spend directly on your fitness. Maintaining your health is essential for a happy life. Try some of these little tricks to keep yourself fit and active... •
Run errands on foot where you can.
•
Park in the furthest spot from where you need to go and walk the rest of the way.
•
Head for the stairs instead of the elevator.
•
Ditch the car and ride a bike.
•
Keep runners in the car so you can go for a walk when you have spare time.
•
Turn on the stereo and groove with your kids for 5-10 minutes. Not only is this fun but I'm sure you'll break out in a sweat and encourage your kids to get active too!
•
Don't sit during your child's sporting game. Instead, walk around the oval or court as many times as you can.
•
Use your lunchbreak - eat your lunch at your desk and visit the gym during your break time.
•
Do short, mini-routines through the day. Try calf-raises when ironing, squats when washing dishes, lunges when feeding a child in a highchair, etc.
•
If you have time before picking up the kids from school, arrive 15 mins early and go for a walk.
•
Start your day earlier! Set your alarm 30 mins earlier and start your day with a walk or a workout.
